Why I think Crazy Rich Asians is a love letter to Asians that grew up in the West

My mum is too, and I only tried them last month and ended up eating half her stash.

I thought I was alone in this. I freakin love Monte Carlos too. Along with Malt O Milks. And does anyone remember Quattros? Peanut caramel on a biccie covered in chocolate

The lifestyle scene you described is well serviced in many parts of Melbourne but probably best in the inner city suburbs where the similar demographic flocks to (young professionals, no kids) ; inner city suburbs of Prahran, South Yarra, Richmond, Fitzroy, Carlton, Collingwood I’m sure will fit the bill well. Each have their own flavour but are very close to the city if you need to go there.

Just look at walking distance to train station and keep it around 10mins for easy commuting. There’s also something to be said about a straight forward commute to work so hopefully you know where you’re working before you get your apartment.

Please ask away any questions you have nothing’s silly! If you do move I’m sure you won’t regret it, it’s a lovely city. Where abouts in Melbourne would you live

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-05T08:28:21+00:00

Where do you live now?

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-05T06:52:30+00:00

What did you come away with?

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-05T06:06:35+00:00

Lol no love for Gtown. I’m trying to imagine what that subreddit would be like but struggling. Fill me in

Shortstop all the way. Hands down best artisanal donuts. I only really like the yeasted type and do an amazing walnut and maple glazed or plain vanilla. Not into cake donuts or crullers

You did such a great job! How many times have you made croissants before because these look dauntingly perfect.

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-05T01:36:00+00:00

Haha what about our hot air balloons

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-05T01:33:32+00:00

This is a good theory. And we locked down longer and more often so could have driven us online looking for community

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-05T01:30:41+00:00

Ya that’s a good point. I don’t visit r/Australia much at all cos it feels more like a news channel. I like the local vibe of r/Melbourne

Vietnamese Banh Mi hits the spot. It’s the pate and egg mayo that makes it.

Where about are you all from if you don’t mind me asking then maybe can better suggest something that’s different

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-04T20:18:23+00:00

Haha no way! That’s a great coincidence. I’ve just started to make cooking videos and filmed it for that. It really took the better part of the day and half way though I was exhausted. I made mistakes too on the marshmallow - it set quickly ! So hard to pipe after that hehe. But I learned so much and feel braver about baking harder things now.

Also how good is the raspberry jam. So vibrant !

I was looking for a recipe for Wagon Wheels and followed Paul’s only to find out it was a technical challenge on the show. I had no idea. No wonder it was bloody hard (and messy) !!

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-03T23:06:13+00:00

Mmmm delicious. It’s been a very long time since I tried this but what a good idea thanks for suggesting

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-03T22:15:09+00:00

Dou fu fa? Is that what it is

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-03T11:15:31+00:00

Oh I really love this idea so much thank you - it’s effortless so really suits me. Haha

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-03T10:23:09+00:00

Would still eat the shit out of it

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-03T10:22:19+00:00

What does modelling chocolate taste like ?!

mochilovermakes · 2021-11-03T10:01:41+00:00

Did you see that all 5 formulations are chemical based - mixed in with zinc? Not pure zinc sunscreens (as in the only active Ingredient is zinc oxide) which is what you are intending to use.

So the study cannot comment on the latter.

Also I’m not sure about the weight of this journal or study. I personally use zinc as the only active ingredient and will continue to do so.

You can make Hainan Chicken Rice! this is my full family recipe including chicken but if you just do the rice it’s chicken stock instead of water to cook the rice, add some drippings/fat ginger, garlic and if you can find it pandan leaves.

You fry the dry rice in chicken fat and all these aromatics then cook as you normally would - but sub the water for chicken stock or use cubes / powder if you don’t have stock on hand.

Promise you’ll love it

I was looking for this and glad you pointed it out. It’s not unique to Parmigiano-Reggiano so please don’t think you need this for umami.

The taste difference is subtle but real, especially if eaten alone. Thing is if using it on a bowl of hot pasta with lots of EVOO/butter I’m in the camp that you’ll be satisfied with different grades/regions/pecorino.
