ASIAN GOURMET HUT

Harlow everyone!!! Precious Pea is back!! I have been so so so busy for the past 3 weeks because of my new restaurant. Not as easy as I thought it would be. I was so physically and mentally stressed out for the first 2 weeks. I couldn't even sleep at night because my body was aching all over. Not only that, I should have taken photos of all the cuts, burns and bruises on my hand when the business just started.

Things are getting so much better now. Seeing so many returning customers and their praises over the food definitely worth all the hard work. Hehe..someone commented that my Mee Hoon Kueh is the best she ever tasted in Melbourne. *wink wink* Anyway, I promised many of you that I would post some photos of my restaurant so here they are...

Wednesday is my retail therapy day! YAY! Hehehe...i just came back from shopping not too long ago. Shopping is really the best way to destress!

This design is steller! You most certainly know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost. ..HaHa!) Excellent job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool! My page ;
