My last meal at Popeyes before on board Jetstar to Melborne, transiting at Darwin...
(Thanks to kai for accompanying me ^-^)
Sidetrack: Some photos of T3 taken by kai when he flew over to join me
An ad i saw while waiting in Darwin to board the plane..
Somehow i love to sit by the window sit and look down from the plane.. the land always look beautiful and natural..
11 May 2008....
I took a city shuttle to Elizabeth st and waited for Rabbit at her apartment. It was a long wait and i was quietly standing around while listening to a grp of chinese talking to each other in English...I didn't expect her apartment lobby to be cosy and clean..needless to say, her apartment is also nice & cosy~
Rabbit bought me to Metre Long for my first meal in Australia. Highly recommended by her and it is really delicious to the pt that i still misses the pasta! It's my first time trying eggplants with pasta too.. oh, i really miss it...
It's time for a walk tog with rabbit so that both of us could digest our delicious lunch =)
~~~~At Melbourne University~~~~
Rabbit really know all the nice eating places in Melbourne so she bought me to this dessert shop called Brunettis to take a look at their cakes & desserts. After which, we went to try the gelati ice-cream which she likes it a lot.. really special as they have many unique favors! I tried the lychee & nutella favor~ It was cold but it was worth it =D hehe..
Melbourne's chinatown..
We went back to her apartment before dinner for a sweet chat.. =)
Mekong Vietnamese Restuarant is one of the must try in Melbourne so slurp.. here's the food i ordered
Not exactly one of my fav as compared to Long Metre's pasta & pizza but nice to have a try. I bet you can notice the bean sprouts ... hehe.. that i nv eat of cos.. but i love pig's blood,hehehe.....
It was my first night in Melbourne hence i have an early sleep due to tiredness from the long ride and the constant walking in Melbourne St. I also stoned a bit on Rabbit's sofa and watched Grey's anatomy before i hit the bed~
The soft cosy sleeping area that Rabbit set up for me!!!! She 特地 transported this matress for me with the help of her friend.. I will not be able to have such nice sleeps every night without this. Thanks gal~
A small sweet & memorable treat from Rabbit.....
It was the best cupcake i ever had. If i have the chance to go back, this is one of the must-buy i will get for myself...*Drool... how i wish i have the recipe to this...
12 May 2008...
View from her apt:
As i was really impressed by the mini cupcake, she bought me to Little Cupcakes for breakfast.. it is a small shop that sells mainly cupcakes, muffin & tea. Country style, i like =) We tried to secretly shoot photo of their nicely displayed cupcakes inside the display freezer but FAILED!
So.. we only shoot those that we bought..AWwww... i miss them.. lucky Rabbit...Shopping time!
Big donuts & pretzel display along the street!
I didn't really buy a lot..only about 2 tops from sportsgal.. i guessed I was conscious on my spending as it's only my 2nd day in Australia. I won't want to end up broke towards the end of my trip..Poor Rabbit who shopped with me seems to get more stuffs than me.. =P
We went to Chapel st for some more shopping and I tried Boost Mango Magic..which i later discovered that Boost is available in Singapore too.
Sushi for lunchie.. and know what? I was amzed by this:
Because... it is so cute and user-friendly! Can't Singapore sushi shop use this for take-away sushi so people can 'drop' the soy sauce accurately on their sushi without dirtying our hands? packet soy sauce is so inconvenient..
During our shopping, we walked into 2 tea shops. The variety of tea that they sells are Wow.... a lot... i think you can almost find all kinds of tea there. Both Rabbit & I was tempted to buy but we didn't in the end. I found one of the brand T2 in Singapore but when i have made up my mind to buy it this year, none of the tea favor attracts me as there were only tea favors that i'm not familiar with or attracts me.
It will be nice to drink tea once in a while be it at home or in the office..
We went back to chinatown for dinner before proceeding to Crown Casino which Rabbit said there will be a surprise for me to see???
Hee.. i ordered noodle with pig's blood again.. paisei, i'm so deprived of it in Singapore.. =P
I was kept in the suspense what i will be seeing.... and TADA!
(Opps, this video is tilted as i'm not sure how to turn the video around)
I will be posting photos of crown casino later as kai has used his camera to shoot great night photos of the place. At every hour at night (not sure what time it starts), fire will 'shoot' out from the tall stands outside the casino in sequence and rhythm.. it's like a dance performance by the fire.. marvelously stunning..豪华..
Enjoying the cold & peaceful night, both of us enjoyed a mud cake tog before heading back to the apt for a good night slp... (*+*)
13 May 2008...
I had a great night of sleep but Rabbit did not sleep much, prob due to the caffeine effect of the tea..
How could i miss the famous Queens Victoria Market (QVM):
The Wet Market section:
Oh..choco... hmm..=P..
The fruits section:
Other sections:
See how clear and beautiful the sky is?
I bought softtoys here for some of my friends as 手信 from here..it was a great buy but will take up quite a bit of space in my luggage though.
Soupy Lunch before heading back to apt for a rest.
I had never tried cheese with crackers before. we gathered all the ingredients from QVM and went back to try it out with the kind rabbit demo from my dear galfren..
On-going demo..
Finished!!!!!!!
Well.. the taste is great for tea-break~ cheesy.. crunchy.. with tinge of sour taste..and an additional touch of fresh salmon. . . . . . . .. . .
(^O^)
After a nice tea-break, we shopped ard for boots..
As rabbit needs to go back early to prepare her lunch for work tml, we had a quick dinner (皮蛋粥和油条） at a Chinese restaurant and head back to the apt.
Rabbit will be heading for work the next day while i will be meeting up with Kai to start of the next part of my Aussy tour.. Thanks to this dear gal for being my tour guide throughout the 3 days without any complaints. There are places which i will never know without her recommendation.. *smile* 谢谢你。。
