OOTD: First day back at Uni

The holidays are over and uni has started up again recently, to my dismay haha. So far my experiences at uni involve early morning starts, long lectures, being sleep deprived, and so many set of stairs, hence when it comes to creating an outfit for uni, I definitely consider comfort as a major factor - since I'm at uni for the majority of my day. 

I thought I'd share with you guys what I wore to my first day back at uni!

Food Adventures: Hanamaruya

Recently it was my sister's birthday, and to celebrate my parents decided to take us to a restaurant to have a family dinner. We were already in Bankstown, so we decided to try out the new Japanese restaurant there - Hanamaruya. 


If you are ever around Bankstown, give this restaurant a try. They have a variety of dishes including bento boxes, sushi rolls, sashimi, and udon. My family decided to order a dish of Karaage Chicken, Chicken Nanban and two tofu dishes. These all came with salads so to accompany them we decided to order a bowl of steamed rice each - which was only $1 per bowl.


The food and the pricing were both great, so if I'm ever at Bankstown again I'm without a doubt revisiting Hanamaruya if I'm hungry. I'm not sure about their opening hours, but I know they're open for dinner. 

Hoping everyone is having a great week, I'll see you guys in my next post! take care!

Food Adventures: Sweet Spot

A few days ago, before I had to return to uni, a few of my friends and I visit a charming patisserie called Sweet Spot Patisserie in Randwick. They had so many beautifully presented desserts, ranging from cake slices, ice creams, whole cakes, tarts and short breads - it was so hard for me to pick which one I wanted to try! 


I ended up choosing the Choc Panna Cotta Delice, and it was great! The Panna Cotta was lovely and smooth, and the base of the cake was crunchy and crumbly which added texture to the super smooth Panna Cotta. It was garnished with a blueberry, a strawberry and a white chocolate curl - the fruits definitely helped cut through the sweetness. 

My other friends decided to get the Pistachio Panna Cotta, the Red Velvet cake slice, the Japonaise, and the Caramel Mousse (last two not pictured).

The box that my cake came in - It's so adorable! 
It was great to just sit down and relax with cake and tea with a few of my friends before the stress of uni takes over my life. So if you guys are ever see a Sweet Spot Patisserie, I recommend you visit! Even if it's just to admire the gorgeous cakes hahaha. 

I hope everyone is having a lovely week, I'll see you lovelies in my next post! take care!
