Nepaliaustralian Turns 13!

I can hardly believe it—Nepaliaustralian has officially turned 13! When I first started this blog, social media was just beginning to take off, and I had no idea it would connect me with so many amazing people across the globe.

What began as a simple hobby has grown into an incredible journey. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be writing this 13th-anniversary post! This blog has become my personal way of celebrating Nepali culture, traditions, and the unique experience of being a Nepali living in Australia.

As of today, Nepaliaustralian proudly stands at 1,109 posts, 81 pages, 10,714 comments, 2,506,733 page views, 4,447 followers, and 1,383,135 readers from 230 countries. 🙂

I’m beyond grateful to each and every one of you for your support over these 13 years. Your encouragement, comments, likes, and shares have meant the world to me, and I truly couldn’t have come this far without you. Thank you for listening to my stories, sharing in my journey, and showing so much love to my family.

Anniversary Lunch at Love Fish, Barangaroo

Recently, for our anniversary, we decided to celebrate with a delightful lunch at Love Fish in Barangaroo. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon, setting the perfect backdrop for our special day, and stepping into the restaurant, we were instantly captivated by the inviting ambiance.

We opted for their set menu, and our culinary journey began with a delightful array of starters. We indulged in freshly baked focaccia, followed by tuna crudo adorned with chili, lime, lemongrass, and betel leaf. The combination of flavours was exquisite, especially the unique twist with the betel leaf. Alongside, we enjoyed salt and pepper local calamari with chorizo powder and wasabi mayo, which added a delightful kick to the dish.

Moving on to the mains, we savoured a grilled barramundi fillet that was cooked to perfection, accompanied by a creamy Blue swimmer crab risotto. The risotto, in particular, stood out with its rich, comforting flavours—I couldn’t help but savour every bite.

By this point, we were already quite satisfied, but eager dug into the pear and almond frangipane tarte tatin served with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. The sweetness of the tarte tatin paired wonderfully with the coolness of the ice cream, creating a heavenly combination that was the perfect conclusion to our meal.

What touched us deeply was the thoughtful gesture of adding sparkles to our dessert, a heartwarming nod to our anniversary celebration. It was these little touches of hospitality that truly enhanced our experience at Love Fish.

Overall, we were thoroughly impressed by the impeccable food quality, the inviting ambiance, and the attentive service at Love Fish. It was a experience that exceeded our expectations and made our anniversary truly special. We can’t wait to return and create more memories at this wonderful establishment.

Celebrating 13 years of togetherness

I can’t believe it has already been 13 years since we got married! It feels like just yesterday. Please read Our Story to learn more about us.

When I first met him in high school, I never imagined that one day he would be my husband and the wonderful father to our amazing daughter.

If you have been following my blog, you know that AS and I are different in so many ways. We are complete opposites; we see things differently, do things differently, and think differently. There are times when he drives me crazy and vice versa, but when we come together, something just clicks. We make each other laugh, and we both know how to bring out the best in each other.

To my dear husband,

Thirteen years ago today, we became husband and wife. We didn’t know where we were heading back then, but we knew for sure that we belonged together. And now, over a decade later, I can say with absolute certainty that the past thirteen years have been the most magical of my entire life.

They say that life is beautiful when you are surrounded by amazing people. I couldn’t agree more, because I have been lucky enough to have a wonderful man by my side on this incredible journey.

So today, I’d like to say a massive thank you for being an amazing, wonderful, handsome, and all-around awesome husband. You make my life so much better. You support me, make me laugh, make me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, and make me believe in myself. Together, I know we can get through anything!

Our lives have changed so much now that we are parents, but every day has been an adventure that I wouldn’t trade for the world. You are a great friend, husband, and my rock.

I love watching you play with our kids so patiently. I love it when you tell them stories and put them to bed. You are everything I could wish for in my life.

Thank you for believing in me and for helping me believe in myself. You are a phenomenal dad and an even better husband. I am looking forward to so many more anniversaries with you.

All the words in the world couldn’t even begin to describe how deeply I am in love with you. You are not only my love, but my soul. I love you more than words can say.

I am glad we have made it this far, and I am sure we will go even further as we continue this journey we started together years ago. Happy 13th Anniversary!

With lots of love ❤️,

M

Celebrating Anniversary @ Kyūbi Modern Asian Dining

First of all, a million thanks for everyone who wished us on our anniversary. We feel so happy and blessed with all the warm anniversary wishes that came through Facebook, sms, blog, Instagram and calls. Thank you once again everyone.

AS bought me mesh bracelets which I loved.

We were lucky that our anniversary fell on a Sunday this year. My SIL looked after Chhori so we had the day to ourselves.

Since becoming parents, we don’t like to leave Chhori with someone for very long so we decided to take the afternoon to celebrate instead of the evening.

We dropped Chhori off and then went to the movie first.

The pick of the day was Jurassic World. I am not a big fan of the Jurassic series like AS is but I did enjoy the movie.

It was a fun movie and really enjoyed the graphics and animations.

After the movie, we went for lunch at this beautiful restaurant called Kyūbi Modern Asian Dining.

They described themselves as Modern Asian Dining and aspire to create a dining experience that brings people together over the love of food.

It is named after the mythical 9 Tail Fox, the Kyūbi features as folklore in many East Asian cultures. The 9 tails represent the various Asian cultures from which they draw inspiration and flavors.

I absolutely loved the decor of the place as it had some beautiful show pieces hanging on the walls from different Asian countries. It had sufficient privacy for groups of guests and was spacious.

The lady who served us was amazing as well with knowledge of the food and service was with smiles. She was very attentive to our needs and the service was genuine and not put on.

Looking at the menu we decided to go for their tasting plate so we could have a taste of everything yummy and it was definitely a good decision.

The portion sizes were perfect and each of the courses came out in a timely manner. It really is a great way to eat because you don’t have to eat a big main meal in one go.

So our menu contained

Entrees:

Char grilled salmon pla bon perilla leaf

Handmade prawn and pork shumai

Prawn has gow dumplings

Salt & Pepper Tofu pickled vegetables

Main:

Bulgoogi Korean lamb ribs

Wilted Asian leaves with dried shrimp

Slow cooked lamb ‘crying tiger’

Salt and Chilli King Prawn’s chilli mayonnaise

Vegetarian Fried Rice bamboo shoots, snow peas, water chestnut

Dessert:

Mango pudding with tapioca pearls, fresh fruit and lychee granita

The food was delicious and nicely flavored and very light but at the same time very filling. We will be going back again for sure.

By the time it was dessert time, I was so stuffed that I didn’t want to eat anymore but still tasted it.

We asked if they could write “Happy Anniversary” for us and they did. It was really nice.

While talking to the lady, we discovered that both the chefs in the kitchen were from Nepal so we went and said our hello after lunch.

Overall, we had a great afternoon and it was even better when we saw Chhori who was waiting for us with a big smile. She was so happy to spend the day with my nephew.

 Take care ,
