Photos taken at the orchid garden at Botanic Gardens.
It was so warm that day but there was nice respite in the form of a air-conditioned mist house. But of course, I didn’t take any photos while inside it. I’m beginning to believe that when you’re having fun, you never take pictures of that. So all my photos are of times when I’m bored, unoccupied or being pedestrian to what’s around me! Mmmmm.
This week has been INCREDIBLY busy for me. I seldom get excited about Fridays but I cannot wait for Friday night to begin. I’m gonna see my sk8er friends and sk8 sk8 sk8. It’s been a whole week since I last slipped into sneakers and jumped on (and off, a lot!, haha) my board.
At this point, this guy who works at the park started to feed the birds that were lurking around. So we got to walk among them and I picked up two stray feathers with nice satin-ish emerald green tips!
Also, I saw Larry Crowne last night and thought it was one of the nicest films I’ve seen this year.
My brother worked with his chef, Bouk, at his old job. Sometime in May, Bouk opened his first restaurant, Hummerstons. My brother’s one of the two sou chefs there now. I’m a big fan of my brother and his food and love to show my support in any way I can. The food’s so good! And so are the desserts! This coming from a non-dessert person.
I took some photos on film which are below but there’s many more photos on Belly—my boyfriend’s and my newish tumblr for food.
1. The bar area
2. Interior
3. That’s the kitchen. And you see chef and owner Bouk in the front, my brother, Ben, at the back and on the right is the super talented pastry chef, Deborah. (She’s so young but produces such refined and sophisticated desserts. In awe of her talent!)
4. Poutine with Montreal sauce. So good, it’s a must!
5. Mmm, more Poutine
6. Ancho Chilli Cod
Hummerstons is located at Robertson Walk, get their opening hours & address on their Facebook. Also, Sarah did a wonderful post on them, chekkit. And if you plan to go, I highly recommend the prawn pavoratti, the burger, the pumpkin cheesecake and poutine with montreal sauce. I do daydream about the prawn pavoratti from time to time… mmmm.
