I am revisiting Melbourne recently and have been so far kept really busy with many different outings and dining experiences at many aussie places. The highlight of my visit would be when my friends, a couple from Malaysia, invited me to join them for a lunch invitation at Endeavour Hills, Melbourne. I accepted their offer almost immediately as it would be an awesome opportunity to experience some Australian home-cooked vegetarian dishes. I would like to specially thank my hosts, Sasi and Gillian, for preparing so many dishes for me even though they only learned of my dietary requirements only a day before. I am especially glad as the dishes served were all so healthy and incredibly tasty.

It was like an urge, a need, perhaps, to promote vegetarianism to our friends, before we finally decided to hold a vegetarian bbq at our place. After a series of cautious planning, we finally came up with a long list of food to present to our "carnivorous" friends, and hope that they would like it.

Our shopping list:
Fresh:
Capsicums, pumpkins, brown onions, eggplant, sweet potatoes, pot mushrooms

Supermarket:
Hash browns, wedges, pita bread, pasta, pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, canned mixed beans, preserved olives (sliced), butter, salt, garlic bread, drinks

Asian Grocery:
Rice Flour, Soy Sauce, preserved radish (diced), fried tofu blocks, curry paste



We forgot to take pics of the CUTE tofu balls! But here's the recipe Crystal's tofu balls
