A Week in Melbourne - Part 4

Our 4th day in Melbourne was pretty laid back, we walked around the CBD area and visited a friend at his cafe. We were scheduled to move hotels that day, so we checked out of Radisson and checked in at Ibis Melbourne. Through a friend we were able to get a very good deal at Ibis, and frankly, it was not worse than the Radisson. Except that they did not have any toothbrushes for their guests. The location was very good, and it was very easy to get around.

DH started with a latte at a cafe nearby called Stax Cafe and Miss Kiki had hot chocolate there. The owner was a French lady and she just loved Miss Kiki. There's definitely an advantage to being cute, she got a couple of Lindt chocolate and a kitchen tour from the kind lady.





From there we took the free tram and headed down to Flinders Ln.  I promised my friend to visit his cafe nearby. It was about 5 minutes walk to Cafe Andiamo and it was crazy busy! The cafe does not have the best rating on Foursquare nor Google, but I'm not sure what they were complaining about. Between Miss Kiki and I, we had a babyccinno, latte, mocha, warm chicken salad, and penne carbonara. All of them are good, in fact, it was the best penne carbonara I've ever had! 

It was so good to see my friend again, I haven't seen him since I graduated from high school! 













Meanwhile, DH decided to roam around the Flinders Lane himself. He passed by this burger place that looked good so he stopped to try. He said it was good.


Then he stopped for coffee at the Duke's Coffee Roastery. He said it was okay.

  After lunch we continued to browse the Flinders Lane and area, and in one of the arcade shops I saw this really cute display I had to take a picture of it!




Then DH decided that he wants to get a shave...


So for dinner we went to try Menya Ramen that is famous for the Gyutan Don. It was located right next to the Rose Garden we went to the day before. DH opted for the Unagi Don. Our verdict was... it was good, but not that great.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!šŸ˜Š Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
