Need... not a want


What's currently in the freezer- Hokey Pokey and Banana & Salted Caramel.

I have a strong feeling that this Gelato phase won't end anytime soon. So much so, my household has created a rule: There must be Gelato in the freezer at any one time.

Vienna Philharmonic


Last week I was lucky enough to see the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra perform both of their programs for their Australian Tour.

Night One's program was:
SCHUBERT Symphony No. 8 Unfinished
MAHLER Des Knaben Wunderhorn (Matthias Goerne, baritone)
BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 8

Night Two's program was:
BRAHMS  Tragic Ouverture
MOZART Symphony No.34 K. 338
BRUCKNER Symphony No. 4 Romantic

The orchestra was conducted by Christoph Eschenbach, who I have to say is one of the most fascinating conductors I've seen. 

On a more personal note- I love attending concerts of a higher calibre for the mere reason that the audience is so much more respectful and really share a great common interest. Although, one thing I found surprisingly amusing was that a large percentage of the audience were of the older generation and each time there was a break between movements all you could hear was everyone letting out all the coughs and sneezes that were held onto whilst the orchestra was performing.

Overall, a very enjoyable experience. Until next time!

Last night's meat dish.
Chicken marinated in Kecap Manis, dark Soy sauce, Sugar and some other things.

Coconutz


Coconut time!
And below is what you could call Vietnam's Okonomiyaki, Tortilla or Crepe. Made from a batter of some sort (not too sure of) and filled with beef, bean sprouts and spring onions. Yummy!
