. . . steam boat . . .

considering that I am yet to actually plan one single weekend with things to do, a lot of things seem to happen on their own accord.

I got invited out to have all-you-can-eat steamboat at the Dragon Seafood Chinese Restaurant (yes, once again in Northbridge . . . ) on Friday night which turned out to be a lot of fun. Trying to find parking of course is never fun in this area. Dinner was great, scallops, prawns, crabs and various mushrooms along with the usual meat and vegies were all included, as well as some really cheap nasty WA Emu beer which I highly recommend not to ever drink again. Dessert included tou fu fa, red bean soup, grass jelly and the very non-asian dessert of sponge cake. All for $32, we were one of the last to leave.

Had Yum Cha for lunch on Saturday at 'Good Fortune' at the first non-Northbridge restaurant I have dined in since arriving in Perth. The food was nothing spectacular, and came out rather slowly, but still filled the niche of not having Yum Cha since leaving Adelaide. Visited 2 more bike stores in the quest for the best value road bike in Perth, will have to buy one soon, so many places to ride.

The fund raising quiz night at the Subiaco Church of Christ was very well organised and a lot of fun. Our table finished in the top 10 (out of 23) but unfortunately no prizes for us. The evening was won by a 'professional' group of quiz goers. The group of elderly people apparently attend quiz nights every weekend all over town, so blitzed the field by quite a margin. Kind of spoilt the fun as they didn't really into the swing of things as they just answered the questions but didn't get 'involved'.

Played badminton on Saturday and Sunday with different groups of people. Will have to bring my racquet over from Adelaide, my exercise for the week. Had dinner at a New Orleans restaurant in Northbridge on Sunday night with a friend from the UK. Great place, live music and an interesting menu, I had a crabmeat cheesecake concoction which was apparently the house specialty. Not particularly big, but very filling. Something a little different.

Another weekend gone.
