I’ve been thoroughly distracted from blogging for a while, one of the excuses is the Food Fair held at Fremantle for the Burma Cyclone victims. It was on the Sunday (yesterday) and thankfully the weather was perfect! I was a bit worried because a few days earlier the weather was terrible with the wind blowing around fences, uprooting trees, causing power cuts and throwing debris all over the roads.

As per usual, mum took up the roll of manning the ice kachang machine. Since it’s a charity event, I think it’s the first time I’ve paid for an ice kachang! It’s funny because I still have moments where I convert to RMB and just about faint at how much I’m paying for food here… $8 for a dosai seems decent but 52RMB is totally killing me! I could eat for a whole week with that money in China!! Anyhow, it’s all good because it’s for a good cause =)

We didn’t get there until two in the afternoon, and we found that a lot of the stalls had sold out of their popular dishes =( The lines at the satay and dosai stalls were massively long so I was pretty lucky that I got my hands on some of their food without waiting too long (knowing people in the line always helps =P).

The event seems to be successful considering a lot of the stalls sold out on food, the turn out was really good since the weather was so nice, and it had a pretty good atmosphere too… Well, that was before the sun started to set and the wind started feeling a little too chilly… Overall, it was a great food fair =) I wish Perth would have more throughout the year!
