highlight of today is trying strawberry watermelon cake! but first let us fill our tummies with a proper meal... we had dim sum for lunch at Little Canton:
har gao, prawn dumplings with spinach, speciality fried rice, tripe and radish cake. we also ordered steamed glutinous rice with chicken (we actually came here for this dish as King was craving it) but it's not in the picture as it was served later.
after lunch we actually stopped by Playford Hotel Lounge Bar to try their decaf coffee which was recommended by one of King's customers.

i'm trying to cut down on my caffeine intake so got to go for decaf but i find that decaf options seem to be hard to find here. or maybe the cafes just don't list decaf on the menu as an option? even in the supermarkets there are not many decaf coffee options... whereas in the US there were a ton of options when it came to decaf. anyway, so i tried the decaf caramel latte there, which was not bad... no sour aftertaste... but it was so sweet! maybe too much caramel syrup added. i should have tried the plain latte on its own.
next we headed for the highlight of the day, strawberry watermelon cake. i first tried it in 2014 at Black Star Pastry in Sydney. last year in Singapore i also tried a version of the cake by Cream and Custard cafe but it wasn't that impressive. recently i discovered that Han's Patisserie right here in Adelaide also makes strawberry watermelon cake so i have been wanting to try it.
and i think i may have found the substitute to Black Star Pastry's strawberry watermelon cake! Han's Patisserie's version actually tastes very similar, and perhaps even better! i found Black Star Pastry's version to be a little too sweet for my liking... but Han's Patisserie's version is milder and suits me better. yummmm.
we also tried the lychee raspberry gateau. pretty layers. this was good too! very promising... looks like i got to try their other cakes too in future~
now should i be worrying about that upcoming 28 week OGTT though... hmmm...
after all that food we just went to do some grocery shopping and run some errands. few weeks back i ordered a shower chair from Mobility Therapy Centre to prevent any falls as at times i get giddy in the shower... and now my tummy is getting bigger i'm not very stable so it's a little risky when i bend down to wash my legs and feet. but the shower chair was on backorder and the customer service said it will take 3-4weeks to arrive. 3-4weeks passed and still no delivery so i called them again and they said it is still on backorder and may take another 3-4 weeks. i didn't want to wait that long so decided to stop by their warehouse and see if there are any other models in stock and to do a swap. the staff there were really friendly and helpful... so i got another model of the shower chair and sorted out my initial order in like 5 minutes. yay now i can take risk-free showers!
at the end of the day we stopped by Semaphore Beach for the sunset. too bad it was cloudy so the sunset wasn't spectacular, but a nice stroll out on the jetty for fresh air~

I always have the impression that you are conscious about not indulging in unhealthy food.
