Panna Cotta au Frais ala Juju et Hobo..

Juju.. or Justin is my little brother from another mother who lives in Melbourne.. we go way back since 2 years ago and have always had each other's back since then. He recently got in touch with his 'foodie soul' and was intrigued enough to make some Strawberry Panna Cottas... and with great success actually did and I heard it tastes delicious!

But of course my own curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to see how it tastes like! So when Justin gave me the recipe .. I just had to make it .. with a few tweaks here and there ..

Melbourne ♥ ...

Sometimes when I feel like Sydney is getting the best of me rather than me getting the best out of Sydney, I like to do a little get away.. may it be an hour drive away for a diverting hiking trip for an hour and a half or a 3 day getaway in the Southern part of New South Wales. It's nice to get out from the hustle and bustle of the Sydney City life - considering I'm pretty much there every. single. day.

So when a much needed holiday is in order - It's time to hit up Melbourne & pay a visit to the wonderful Bellos.. and what other fantastic time to visit than Tita Cecile's Birthday!!
During the stay there, Kat and I organised a day for a baking session complete with Mudcake & Macarons and look what we came up with...!

Happy Birthday Tita Cecile!!!
