Being forced to eat Vegemite by my mates, on camera! Vegemite : It’s an Aussie thing.

July 29, 2011 by thejessicat

 

To be extremely honest, I’ve never seen/taste/smell/ate Vegemite in my entire life.

Until I came to Australia.

 

Bardha, Cleefy and I in the kitchen on the night of the challenge

This is how it all began.

One fine day, Konzy and Cleefy decided to ask me a million dollar question.

 

“Have you tried Vegemite before?”

My answer was an obvious “no”.

However, I’ve heard some pretty horrid stuff about it; that it tasted vile, disgusting and nasty on your tastebuds. Then again, Cleefy insisted I had some, regardless of what I’ve heard.

Allow me to quote him “you haven’t experienced Australia if you leave without Vegemite”.

 

Looks like a creepy Vegemite ad, no? ๐Ÿ˜›

He proposed I eat it in front of the camera so that I could always remember the “Australian goodness of Vegemite”. Fair enough. So I decided to take up the challenge of the infamous yucky Vegemite.

Let the camera roll!

 

One night before we headed out clubbing, Cleefy brought me a jar of Vegemite

&ย had it wrapped in a cute blue ribbon too!ย 

I was extremely hesitant after unwrapping it but my mates were pretty persistent.

Fine fine fine. I’ll do it!ย 

 

Here’s the short video I made. Enjoy it!

 

Hahaha. Hope you liked it! So there, my 1st moments with Vegemite, added with laughter, nasty facial contortions and friendship encapsulated in a 6 minute video ๐Ÿ™‚

Now, everytime I think of Australia or crave for Vegemite, this video will do the trick!

 

Ahoy mateys! Arrrr. Vegemite has arrived.

How am I ever gonna forget that?

The next time ANY of you come to Malaysia, I’ll do the exact same thing for yall – not with Vegemite, but with Durians instead.ย *evil laughter*

 

Thank you Cleefy bear!

Now that I’ve finished blogging this entire post and editing the VLOG, I’m totally up for some. Only thing that’s stopping me is…. I can’t seem to find my Vegemite.

Who has stolen my jar from me!?ย ย Identify yourself!!

My lucky strike at Star City Casino + Dinner at Kingsleys Australian Steakhouse + Drinks at Ivy, Sydney CBD!

June 23, 2011 by thejessicat

 

I don't know what is it with me and casinos lately.

I've been recently bringing much luck to everyone who I tag along with to casinos, winning them more than triple and quadruple their capital amount! They say I'm their lucky charm, but I say luck comes and goes…

…and I've been enjoying my winning streak thus far!

 

Chilling at Ivy Pub in Sydney CBD

 

With Cousin Bernice over a pint of cider

 

Cousin Ken, Bernice and I then headed off for dinner shortly after

Ken wanted to bring us to this fine, classy place called Kingsleys Australian Steakhouse!

 

Had some garlic bread on the house after we placed our orders

 

Ken suggested we have some wine but since I've already had the whole pint of cider beer in Ivy already, I figured that I didn't feel like having another alchoholic drink. Besides, for a posh restaurant like this, it's going to cost a bomb!

After much persuasion, we ordered 1 glass of wine. I recommended him the Pedro Ximenez Sherry Spain, one of my faves.
 

 

You can see a little of the decoration of the restaurant behind us

 

 

It was classy and dimly lit.. also full of wine bottles everywhere!

The ambience was fab too – good for romantic dates or to celebrate an occasion

 

On to the food!

 

A well-done 500 g T-Bone Steak! It's a 90 day grain fed one too ๐Ÿ˜€

Loved how the meat was so flavourful and not too tough at the same time

 

A very happy "laughing Buddha" ๐Ÿ˜› ๐Ÿ˜› It was yummy!

 

Roast Kangaroo with Italian coleslaw, Fondant Potatoes and Juniper Jam

Although it was tasty, the roo, as you can see, only came in 4 tiny slices

 

I felt somewhat cheated? How can the main star of the dish be in such a tiny portions?

We were hoping to have more kangaroo on it, at least.

 

Roast Barramundi with Grilled Zucchini, Bush Tomato and Olive Dressing

 

T'was absolutely delicious. What can I say? Pretty obvious that I'll order fish again – just like every other time.

The flesh of the barramundi was so soft and the veggies complemented the dish well

 

Was so happy and satisfied with what I ordered!

 

And finally! Dessert for the sweet-tooths

Although I'm not really big on sweet, sugary stuff, if there's one thing I can't resist, it's chocolate!

 

Dark Chocolate Delice with Coffee Anglaise, English Toffee and Sea Salt

That's one crazy combo, but it worked perfectly well! Who would've thought?

 

Major heaps of love for this dessert!

 

It was SO SMOOTH and creamy, reminds me of mousse but better!

 

After a scrumptious dinner (thanks Ken!) with our happy tummies, we decided to go for a spin at Star City casino – Sydney's one and only largest casino! ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ Hmmm.. let the dices roll!

 

We arrived and I was pretty impressed by the grand drive-through entrance!

 

The ushers were so friendly and efficient in greeting everyone/opening car doors too

 

The insides of Star City Casino

WOW! You gotta even take an escalator up where security will check your IDs at 2 different spots

 

That's my favorite game I always play at casinos, apart from Roulette and Big vs Small

 

And guess what? I won triple the amount we put in tonight $$$

Three cheers for good luck and masterful gambling skills!!! LOLOL
