another foodie adventure: Chin Chin

cocktail bar & entrance

Hello ! Today was the day i finally submitted the 30% prac report which killed half my brain cells. And i also studied two lectures on the male and female reproductive systems which produced many awkward moments for everyone passing behind me in State library ... i mean it's not every day you randomly see someone watching a vasectomy online (they can be done in 3min btw) ... or every angle of the reproductive system possible.

But today was also the day that Farn and i went to Chin Chin (125 Flinders Lane) for lunch! link here 

Dynamic and fun, this Thai restaurant instantly caught our eye with its funky interior design and fresh food. It's around $13-25 for main and ~$10 for dessert. Go Go bar is downstairs too but we'll leave that for another time... 

Not your usual/most affordable lunch on a student budget (we ordered 2 mains & 1 dessert...), but it was certainly worth the experience. Or maybe it's just because we both eat a lot... since the two ladies next to us shared one main... But i say we should always splurge on the first experience - especially if you want to eat everything on the menu!! 

There is a main dining area as well but we were lucky enough to get seats at the 'chef bar' before the place filled up completely. 

We ended up ordering the "Steamed Spanner Crab & Chicken Salad with Ruby Grapefruit, Salmon Roe, Coconut & Fragrant Herbs" and a "King Prawn Pad Thai". 

I don't usually eat Thai food but we will definitely be coming back for more after this! 

And lastly... we indulged in "Palm Sugar Ice Cream Sundae with Salted Honeycomb & a Lime Jelly" for dessert :DDDD 

It says palm sugar icecream sundae but it tastes like there was burnt caramel icecream too! (since the person preparing ours had a tub of that too) I've tried many icecreams but never this silky and creamy before! 

Anyway i feel like the biggest food critic at the moment but out of all my foodie adventure posts... i think this is my favourite one so far! Probably because it has a bit more pezazzzzz than the other places i've been too.... a casual yet buzzing vibe... yay! 

Okay time to write my 2000 word essay :( :( :( :( :(
