Foodshow Wellington 2007
Went to Wellington on Saturday to attend the Foodshow, and man that was nice~~ All sorts of nice foods, free samples, free tasting. and you know what, we were there for like the entire time, from opening to the end, within which we were bloated all the way through cause of the nice foods :P There were heaps of wine, olive oils, dips, hummus, sauces, sausages, bacons, mushrooms (which i love), spices, teas, coffees, and the list goes on and on. And knowing me, of course i bought some stuff along the way. Bought 2 bottles of syrup, vanilla and hazelnut for dad's er... very professional espressos, bought snappers which are like things you tie end of the bags with? so instead of rubber bands, you can just clip it on! seriously useful. Also bought this morrocan tomato dip thing, and roasted chick peas.. which tasted not bad at all.
We also attended three shows, a cooking one which I found quite useless coz she used quite rare ingredients, a cocktail show, seeing a guy doign all sorts of awesome tricks with the bottles, then wine tasting one, were now i actually know the difference between few basic white wines... not that.. i drink... wine of course :P And here's another thing, coz during the wine tasting session they had free samples.. and well.. since it was free i took some.. LOL feel dizzy after 2 sips :P and so i missed out on er... all the red wines, and wait for the ice wine at the end to taste :P MAN i need to work on my alcohol tolerance. Was kinda... bummed that coz i was dizzy alreayd, didn't get to try the honey wine.. which looked REAL good. oh well
And as if we didnt' had enough food, afterwards we went and had sushi train... which i think wasn't very nice at all, and was expensive, we paid lke $12 each, and we didnt' even had that much food since we were still bloated from the Foodshow. Afterwards we took a walk around Wellington town, which was nice. I think that was the first time I did that, and there were quite a few nice cafes and stuff which looks really nice. Oooo and i foudn this ice cream place.. which had home made pistachio ice cream, but but, but, alreayd blown my budget so didn't had any. Also found this real nice pearl milk tea place which sells Taiwanese cuisines as well as nice looking desserts, hm..... really want to go there one day and pig out :P
All in all, the wellington trip was excellent. It's funny when living in Auckland, goign anywhere outside of Auckland is a big mission. But here, it's like.. Wellington is only 2 hr drive.. not that bad at all :P
Anyway.. enough of me blahing on and on.... Good luck for everyone's study ^^ and i'll be back.. soon-ish
