- Chicken Parmigiana 帕瑪森芝士焗雞肉🍖
- Corned Beef 鹽醃牛肉🥩
- Latte 拿鐵🍼
- Flat White 馥芮白☕️
Chicken Parmigiana was nice and super filling, fried yet tender and juicy chicken, coated with herbs and tomato sauce (like pizza sauce), ham and cheese, how can one resist this right or not, just that it gets a little surfeiting at the end for me, good for sharing tho
Friend had the corned beef and said it was nice too

Completing the meal with lemon curd ice cream, sweet but refreshing~

📍Launnie Kebab House (Deloraine, Tasmania)
- Lamb Kebab🌯
📍Mumma Buzz Cafe 'N' Takeaway (Deloraine, Tasmania)
- Flat White☕️
Surprise found of the lamb kebab, Google 4-star rating and with the local’s recommendation, this can’t be bad😋
Super filling, lamb was delish, don’t worry it being gamey, it goes really well with the veg, cheese & sauce which elevated the whole wrap!
As for the flat white, decent, pretty cup too.
Damage: AUD14.50 Lamb Kebab/ AUD5.50 Flat White

Chilli crab was on the sweeter note, tomato sauce was quite distinctive, if only it could be a bit more spicy, but overall, quite addictive, and what more, can use CDC voucher!
Would recommend their cockles, unassuming but the special chilli sauce was a hit, really go well with rice, am am surprised by this dish.
Satay and chicken wings are just decent, not wow.
Lastly, sugarcane juice with lemon to clear the palate, refreshing~

📍Haru-Haru Mentaiko (Bras Basah)
- Mentai Pork Katsu Don 明太子醬炸豬排飯🍱
- Ebi Fry 日式炸蝦🍤
Tonkatsu was not bad, crispy and pretty thick cut, the mentaiko sauce complement the katsu well. A little pity that the rice was a tad too mushy to my likings.
The fried prawns were not bad too, crispy and fluffy.
Overall not bad, worth a try if nearby the vicinity, moreover, they accept CDC vouchers!
Damage: $9.90 for tonkatsu don

📍A Kitchen (Punggol) 友間廚坊
- Chong Qing Grilled Fish 重慶烤魚🐟
- Lamb Kebab羊肉串🍖
- Chicken Kebab 雞肉串🍗
- Grilled Eggplant 烤茄子🍆
- Cold Dish 家常涼拌菜🥗
- Pork & Cabbage Dumplings 豬肉白菜餃子🥟
Would recommend the grilled fish, already includes black fungus, beanspout, vermicelli, corn and lotus roots in it, no need to add-on. Quite spicy but it’s shiok!
Also recommend the lamb kebab, coated with cumin powder, like it with a little lamb gamey taste, main point is that it’s very tender!
However, can skip the dumplings for the skin is too thick and got a little porky smell. Likewise, can skip the cold dish cos nothing too special about it.
The rest of the dishes are decent, can order…
Cosy restaurant setting, unassuming but for the price point, will visit again!
