After much extensive deliberation I am the proud owner of a KitchenAid mixer. *beam* I've been wanting one for ages (back in Malaysia it was so expensive...more than RM2000) But now that I'm in Australia, $619 doesn't sound so bad. Of course it's still ridiculously expensive if you consider that it only costs like $250 in the US! But better 619 than 2000. Psychologically it feels a lot cheaper if I don't convert to Malaysian ringgit...so I won't. ;)
I almost went with a Breville mixer as it was like $200 cheaper but if I were to buy that one, then every time I looked at it in my kitchen I would be thinking of the KitchenAid. And besides practically every cooking blog I follow (and not to mention Nigella) has a KitchenAid. So they all can't be wrong, right?
Plus the fact that David Jones was willing to let me have it for $619 (they price match their items and the sales guy seemed to think Peters of Kensington was selling it for $619. Although when I checked it was actually $632)... and he even threw in a box of KitchenAid Kitchen Utensils! Who can resist a deal like that!
Since purchasing it on Saturday, I have made a Madeira cake (from Nigella's recipe) which turned out perfectly but didn't taste all that great (not my kind of cake) and I also made a focaccia. I have great plans for this machine and hopefully they all pan out.
