Ended up watching The Breakup with Vince Vaughan and Jennifer Aniston. I didn’t like it at all! The movie made me cry (and I never cry in movies) and had a crappy ending. Booo 🙁
We did have fun eating at Chatswood though, which cheered me up 😛 Was walking past the Westfield and looked inside and there was Beard Papa! I think they recently opened there as I hadn’t seem them there before? They’re like Krispy Kreme, they only sell custard puffs and BOY THEY ARE GOOD! I’m normally not a fan of cream/custard puffs, but really loved these. The puff was all flaky and warm, and the custard (injected into the puff when you make your order) was cool and creamy. Really lovely :)~ But at $2.50 each?! Yikes!
Beard Papa
About the puffs..
Delicious fresh custard puff
Ramen-Kan
Shop 6, 272 Victoria Ave
Chatswood, NSW 2067
Dinner was a quick one as we had to quickly stuff it in before Church. We were keen on Ramen-kan, which is close by and serves great, cheap Japanese food (approx $10pp). I settled on Fried chicken with cold ramen, served with egg mayonnaise & chilli jam – which is the dish of choice every time I go to Ramen-kan.. because it’s just so good! The chicken’s always juicy and tender and the noodles are cooked just-so. The egg mayo and chilli jam make the perfect accompaniment, and it’s just a really lovely filling meal that doesn’t make you feel all stuffed and gross afterwards.
Chris opted for the Grilled Salmon on rice – simple but delicious. 4 hearty slices of tender grilled salmon, served on a bed of Japanese rice and accompanied with Japanese salad and a hot Miso soup. So nice :)~

They cream puffs look yummy-I wish they sold that in theaters-i’d so buy one or maybe more…ugh the Breakup was so disappointing-not so, but the ending was not good at all…it was like “wah, that’s it?” I thought Vince Vaughn was funny though, but not as funny as he could be…
Yes, I was sad with the ending 🙁 I like my unrealistic happy Hollywood endings, haha!
THey have beard papa in Singapore too. Its oh-so-sinful, but really yummy!! I especially love the custard filling
Mmmm yeah, just one is enough! I also LOVE LOVE LOVE rotiboy.. I miss it so much here 🙁
The trend is dying out here already. Think the novelty is lost on us 🙂 Try to get the franchise? then u can have it everyday! hehe
the movie’s called The Breakup…hello?! 😛 the japanese ramen looks faaaahhhhhbulous btw…you’ve got me craving some now!!
Chris said exactlty that too.. but I don’t care!! I want a happy ending 😛
hahaha you know what they say about great minds 😉 you’re just in denial my dear…in most other people’s worlds, break-ups *do* happen…!
Noooo *claps hands over ears * at least not at the movies! Was sooo depressed afterwards, like *I* was broken up with, haha. Chris had to go console me afterwards 😛
hahaha you’re funny! was it worth watching anyway?
Yeah, it’s still a good movie 🙂
oh yes, i walked past beard papa at chatswood before, was tempted to buy some to try.. i will get some next time coz i do have a sweet tooth 😀
aww misty and star sleeping together.. soo cute!
Ooo yes, get a puff when you next walk past – they’re so yum!

I looooove Beard Papa’s! They’re the bestest cream puffs in Japan!!! Yummy!!! <3 <3 <3
They’re the nicest cream puffs I’ve tried.. all flaky on the outside and cool and creamy on the inside, YUM!! They rank up there with Krispy Kremes :)~
do they climb in the bed pocket on their own?
Ya! They snuggle their way in and then curl up together every time..
they look like a loving couple sleeping together!
Hehe yeah, they’re best mates and do everything together now, it’s so sweet to watch 🙂
the fried chicken w/ noodles looks good!! and the salmon too!
i’m not a big fan of beard papa’s cream puff’s though. i found it too sweet. ;(
chris LOVED the puffs more than I did, but he’s got a sweet tooth. I like savory more, most of the time!
the sleeping picture is SO adorable 🙂
it’s so cute to see them all snuggled up.. and they like cuddling with each other, it’s adorable 🙂
Not sure I’d eat a cream puff for breakfast ! hahah But they sure look good :)~
I love the last picture of your ferrets, they’re adorable !
They love each other now and always play together and sleep together.. too cute!:)
I have to laugh at the Beard Papa sign. It says “Good for Your Breakfast” because of the fresh milk and eggs…But I wonder how many calories and grams of fat, not to mention sugar, is in it! 🙂 Hello, sugary breakfast! 🙂 He he ….
Yeah, talk about weird random marketing, haha!!
I wouldn’t say it’s a good breakfast, but maybe a great snack 😉
cream puffs are a hit-or-miss based on the cream. i used to hate them but thats cuz the place i first tasted them made a dull, flavorless cream. but then i bought a couple in the city and i swear i thought the filling was ice cream. loved it!! haha
glad to see that the little ones are getting along 🙂
oh, and i saw The Breakup yesterday too. i can’t believe this movie was number one in the US when it opened. some funny scenes but a pointless movie.
It’s not good if it’s not fresh, that’s why I love these so much.
Wow, The Breakup was #1??! Maybe just because of all the media stories around Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt/Vince Vaughan etc…. it was a nice movie but I didn’t like the ending :X
thanks for posting abt the profiterole place!!
i’ve been wanting to know where it exactly was in chatswood!!
i loooove profiteroles. mmmm. :9
i heard that in America people line up to buy those!
Here’s the store! http://westfield.com/gardenstateplaza/ourstores/details/26796/
And yeah, they’re reaaaaaaaaaaalllllllly good. Quite $$ but since you only get one, it’s not too bad
Yum, those cream puffs look heavenly. I wish we had a store like that in Edmonton.
THey’re in the USA and other countries I believe, but only in a few places.. hopefully they take off and open up more stores
Oh my god! Are they spooning??
Hahah ya, they are! To keep warm 🙂
Your ferrets are the cutest!!! 🙂
Beard Papa did really well here at first but now not so popular anymore. Could be because it’s rather sweet?
I think custard puffs aren’t too popular amongst Asians? generally we prefer savory over sweet/creamy I think. It’s quite true, I prefer some Mamee noodles over the custard puffs, even though they were yum!
Woah! I’m 100% sold on Beard Papa! Where abouts in Westfield?
It’s near the side entrance.. http://westfield.com/gardenstateplaza/ourstores/details/26796/ gives the shop number. Chris went bananas over it, he reckons they’re the best custard puffs 😛
Near the Gloria Jeans side entrance? I must’ve walked right past it yesterday. Doh. 😛
Not that one.. another side entrancxe, haha! Near the pets paradise store, I believe 🙂
Misty and Star are just adorable. 🙂
they’re SO cute when they snuggle up together.. they’re best mates now, which makes me so happy 😀
awww, that last photo is sooo sweeet =D
they’re real cuddlebums…! It just made me go “awwww” and so i just HAD to go take some pics, haha
I love how Beard Papa’s sign says that their creampuffs are great for breakfast LOL Personally, I’m a Choux Factory (BP’s rival) kinda girl. $2.50 though? That’s pricey in any currency. CF is like $1.80 or so USD (which isn’t much better really) around these parts.
Awww, look at the babies! *in love*
Yeah, I dunno about creampuffs for breakfast, lol?! especially since they aren’t filling.. and yes, a bit on the $$ side – I guess it’s Japanese!
