I once shared how I use multi-grain wraps for homemade pizza (see Homemade Thin Crust Pizza) so now I want to share with you my recent find: Wholemeal Pizza Bases! I found them at the supermarket a few weeks back and was able to try it.
The wholemeal pizza base was a bit fluffy and thicker than the multi-grain wrap. It also has a bigger diameter. Thicker and bigger means more pizza toppings.
Thank God for friends who are generous enough to send care packages to me. When my friends in Manila found out that my Mum’s coming to Sydney, some of them thoughtfully sent me some stuff I love. Thanks Hazel for sending one of my favourite coffees from the Philippines.
I love how the aroma of Barako Gold filled the air in our home the moment I took it out of the box, it was just wonderful. Every cup I’m savouring gives me a clean, rich and flavourful taste.
As mentioned in my instagram, La Banette Patisserie was my beautiful find that day. I love cafes with eccentric interiors and small spaces that doesn’t intrude on my personal space. Even if there were people seated near us, there was a sense of privacy and we felt comfortable. We enjoyed their pastries which were freshly-baked. I will write a separate entry about their food soon.
Visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art Store. From Glebe, we took the bus to Circular Quay and spent the rest of the evening at The Rocks. We visited the newly-renovated Museum of Contemporary Art and had a look at a few items at their store. The store sells books, bags, jewellery, lomo cameras etc. I saw Pochi purses which I find very cute. Maybe one day I’ll buy one for myself.
For dessert, I love their Custard Pie. It’s creamy, smooth and at the same time, I taste a tinge of lemon. It’s refreshingly sweet but not cloying.
Yesterday, we went out to have Pastry Lunch again but they’ve ran out of the Custard Pie (*gasp* *sad face*)
I chose to have the Apple Danish instead and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Their Apple Danish is exceptionally beautiful as it was abundant with apples.
Breakfast at IKEA is always worth waking up early too.
Since my Mum and I were sharing meals that morning, I took this opportunity to grab a slice of their Apple Pie.
The Husband had his favourite, Apricot Pastry.
Other than eat, IKEA is a place for dreaming and research. Even if we don’t really need anything at the moment, we look at the designs, showrooms and products. On our last visit, our we focused on their Kitchen showrooms. I dream of having a gorgeous but functional kitchen someday and these two showrooms below somehow are in line with my idea of a future kitchen. I took photos because one day, I might go back to these for reference.
We opened one of the corner cabinets and saw that IKEA makes use of any space available. You can place a RATIONELL Corner Base Carousel inside your kitchen cabinet so you can store your pots and pans (see photo below). The great thing about it is you swivel the two shelves for easy access to what you need.
I dream of owning this book, “Love for Textiles“. Only a few people know that I love textiles. I never dwell on this interest because I don’t have the space and I don’t have the time. For now, I’m grateful for the thought that when I was young, I had my share of exposure to the textile and fashion industry (thanks to my Dad). My love for textiles and fashion will always be a part of me but in the meantime, I heed to my other calling: writing, food and photography.
It’s always hard to leave IKEA empty-handed. We bought a few items for family in Manila and a few items for our home.
