Once upon a time, I came across watching Jamie Oliver on Youtube, talking about how we don’t need every single knife, food slicer, and some processors sold in the market to be in our kitchen. He emphasised on knife skills. I still intend to be a minimalist and so far this combination of IKEA Vorda Utility Knife and Vardefull Potato Peeler has been doing great in my food prep. (I also have the can opener.) I’m keeping it minimal and only getting stuff when I’ve encountered the need several times—The next thing I’ll add though is a cheese grater! The distance of our home and IKEA makes me reassess my needs, tbh, which is a good thing!
First morning at our new apartment and we still haven’t got a kettle to make our coffee with. So we tried @ubereats_aus to get McCafe (did you know McCafe started in Melbourne?) and had a $10 promo discount on our #McDelivery. Ok enough about that—this is the MIGHTY McMuffin! It has bacon, ladies and gentlemen! I guess that’s enough to explain “mighty”.

Exhausted yesterday buying bits and pieces to add to our first apartment here in Melbourne, I decided it was hump day wine night! If you scanned through my IG stories, you’d have seen that I walked in to the nearby @danmurphys in our suburb and it was huge! Glad I had my membership card along and basically just picked what looked good for my #cheapwineexplorations 🍷

Picked this 2015 Local Squire Cabernet (mix of Cab Sauvignon and Cab Franc) from the Coonawarra region for $13.99 and it did not disappoint! Very smooth full bodied wine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My kind of colorful. Mixing up aromatics in a heavenly smell is one of my fave parts of sautéed dishes ❤️ .

Would you ever tell me I’m alcoholic if my first membership card in Oz is that of a wine / bottle shop? 🍷 #mydanmurphys @danmurphys
I am still not used to grocery shopping here in Melbourne so my cooking days aren’t back to normal yet. ($3 for 4 small heads of garlic BUT $4 for 500g ground beef?! Whuuut?) One of my first few plates was this of brown rice (so Asian of me), stir fried veggies, and roasted (pre-marinated) Coles chicken. I also am a bit shy about cooking bec we’re still sharing an Airbnb house! Wish us luck in finding an apartment!
My husband is feeling Australian today having a VB while watching the #Socceroos play against France on FIFA right now. Hope your weekend is doing alright!
If anyone’s ever wondering why there aren’t much posts here lately—I’ve been super busy with the #adulting part of life: We moved to Melbourne! .

One of my hubby’s requests is that we find a “real” fish and chips; I’ve ever only had a good one in London but Australia should have em, right? My research got us traveling down to Port Melbourne for this today. Though not served wrapped in paper, this serving (flake fillet bigger than my hand) made my husband understand the yumminess of fish and chips ❤️ (Also bec most back home just use cheap bland dory fish). .
