Farewell!~ Work lunch @ Thai Corner


I’ve finally stopped working at one of my dental surgeries! A big “Yay!” yay on the one hand because now I have all this time to do all the things that I’m meant to do:

  • Renew my dental registration and DHAA membership
  • Organise my accomodation in Beijing
  • Organise my Bank stuff
  • Finish and print mums manuals
  • Renew my Drivers license
  • Do my tax return!
  • Sell my uni books & clear away the notes
  • Catch up with an endless list of people
  • Organise my transport
  • Write up check list of essentials
  • Start packing!~

But on the other hand, it’s sad to say that I’m going to miss everyone… especially my patients! I bought an apple strudel from Corica to work yesterday as a parting gift to everyone and I bought another for my family to munch on. OH MY GOODNESS! How delicious is that apple strudel?!? No matter how many times I’ve eaten it, I can’t help but love how good it tastes.

CORICA
106 Aberdeen Street
Northbridge, Perth WA 6003
(08) 9328 8196

It’s now $15 per log, but I’m so sure it was cheaper before! I think all the overseas people buying from Corica must have inflated the prices…

Anyway, Dentist-Boss-Sir-Madam shouted us a delicious and filling lunch at Thai Corner in Applecross. SORRY there’s no photos!! I felt a bit awkward taking photos of food with my colleagues and boss there…. >_<

THAI CORNER

We went a bit overboard with the ordering…. hehe giggle Not that I’m complaining! We ordered everything on the Entree menu minus the soups (check out the photos on their website!!).

Everything from the Entree section was fried fried fried BUT I totally loved their ‘curry puff’ which was really fluffy & their Chiang-Mai dish (which was the only thing that wasn’t fried).

  • Omlette Parcel: This was a dish I looked forward to and was not disappointed! It’s a bit like a pizza pocket with egg.
  • Whisky Lamb: had a little bit of a zing in it but not too much to worry about. It has a pretty interesting taste to it and definately worth a try.
  • Wrapped Chicken: This was presented very differently from the other dishes. Pieces of chicken wrapped up in leaves and the meat was soOo tenderrr!
  • Green Curry: I can’t remember if it was Beef or lamb but you can never go wrong with a green curry dish in a Thai restaurant!
  • Random Vege Dish: Nothing too exciting, tasted a lot like some chinese vegies.
  • Crispy noodles: Everyone was suprised with this, it was definately interesting. Extremely crispy, sweet and light. It actually tasted more like a dessert than noodles!

aH! I wish I took some photos, my comments does the food no justice!!!

And to end the day, I received some parting gifts!! A Marie Claire Notebook for me to write down everything I do in China and a Vibrating Bolster Massage Cushion for me to destress!
Farewell

Bday Dinner @ La Cascade

La Cascade Restaurant is serves French cuisine in a semi-formal dining setting. The decor was the traditional dinner by candle-light feel, but it felt a little more crowded because we were seated in the other room in the corner.


La Cascade Restaurant
145 Stirling Hwy
Nedlands, Perth WA 6009
(08) 9386 4547

Waiting for the late arrivals…
La Cascade
Getting a bit bored of waiting… The service was even slower than the standard fine dining restaurants!

The long wait
Even more bored….
o_o I’m sure it was close to 1hour of waiting before the Entrees arrived
Doomed Stairs
We were all so hungry I didn’t have time to take any photos when the Entrees came out! But those Garlic Prawns were soOo good!!Entree
Unfortunately we ate the Entree promptly and had to wait quite a while again for the mains to arrive. The things we do when we’re bored. She’s such a suckerr for these photo opportunities
giggle
Bored...
More waiting… Probably another 1hr before the Mains arrived

Bored bored bored =(
Medium? pfftt, I think not!
The Steak & Portuguese Sauce was a bit disappointing because I asked for medium and was given medium-well done (tough to eat!). I was also expecting a smaller piece of steak and some kind of side (vegetable)
Steak
The Pork Cutlets looked more appetising, but I noticed that there was a lack of vegetables on that dish as well… not that P was complaining

Pork
And some more meat… Again, where’s the vegetable? Have you also noticed how ugly the presentation is?

Veal
She’s so cute I could pinch her!

Squishy
What to pick? What to pick?? Dessert Menu

Dessert!~
I Love desserts! and they even made an attempt to be presentable too!
The Coffee sauce was too sweet for my liking, but it sat well with the cream and Vanilla Bravarian. It could have done with a lot less of the sauce.
coFFeee!
Can’t really complain too much because it was pretty cheap $50/pp! But let’s just say that I won’t be going back there any time soon…
