Day 10 - 13: Sydney here we come!


This is the first time I visited Sydney. I love all the sights and shops but I can't say the same about the people. In order not to offend anybody, I would just say that Cass made the right choice to study in Melbourne. I was so busy packing for this trip I forgot to bring my camera charger, thus I only had photos of Sydney on the first day. The rest of the photos were taken by Nic and I would upload them once I had them. 
 
Touchdown Sydney!

Pooing in the toilet!

The streets look similar to Melbourne

Sydney Chinatown

My baby was tired after waking up at 530am

My mum's feet was hurting her

Queen Victoria

Ancient lift

Queen Victoria Building

I heart Supre

I can't remember the name, but I saw this tower on Biggest Loser Australia 

We had Spanish food for dinner

Kyle was a good boy while we ate

Spanish Seafood Rice

Yummy Spanish Food

Tuck in Kyle

The cabs did not want to take us cos of Kyle, so we walked back to the hotel

Apparently in Sydney, babies HAVE to be in car seats when in a vehicle. 

Day 9: Happy Birthday Sam-Yi


It was Sam-Yi's birthday today so we had a wonderful dinner with her at Pacific House at Chinatown. The seafood was wonderful and fresh. Thank you Sam-Yi Geong for dinner! We spent the afternoon walking around town and taking in the sights. I love walking in Melbourne. The weather is nice and there are so much to see.

Kyle loved looking at the horses galloping on the road

Yummy Sushi

We had this for dinner

Kyle did not know what to do when he saw the crab on our table

Happy Birthday Sam-Yi!

Hi there, Yi-Yi!

Posing for the camera

What's left of the crab

It was so big, we had two dishes of it.

Day 8: Dim Sum, Pizza & MJ


We spent most of the day eating today. Haha! Actually that was what we did most of our trip. The dim sum brekkie was traditional canton style and I quite liked it. Especially the ladies that pushed their carts of dim sum around. 

Hungry and eager to eat

Making reservations for other meals

Could u give us one of everything?

Dinner at Papa Ginos at Lygon St

Huge pizza with 2 flavours

No high chair at this restaurant so we took turns carrying Kyle

Who are these models??

My baby starting young..

Day 7: Fish and Chips at St Kilda's


Even though I have eaten many fish and chips in the 30 years of my life, I have to say the fish and chips at St Kilda's are just FANTASTIC! They are fresh, not sickeningly oily and taste wonderful. The chips are great too. I would have loved to go back for seconds but we did not have the time. Maybe during my next trip. 

The grilled fishes.

The fried ones.

Not forgetting the chips.

We ate out in the sun, which is great during winter.

We passed by this wonderful looking dessert shop

and this crowded theme park called Luna Park 

I would have loved to try the rides but nobody was game to join me

Tea break at Ko Ko Black

We had yummy claypot rice at Footscray

Our 1st party together in Melbourne!

Day 6: Road trip to Mount Dandenong

We took a drive up today to Mount Dandenong to try some famed scone and jam. We went to this quaint little tearoom called Black Kettle. I loved the fig jam and cream cheese. It was lovely and really worth the drive up.  



Scones with tea, lovely!

A soap shop nearby that sold handmade soap, lotions and perfume

A scrub that had the same name as myself

Checkout the look on my son's face!

We went to the top of Mount Dandenong where we sat on the giant's chair

We look tiny on the huge chair

It was a little foggy at the top

We had Korean BBQ dinner at this wonderful diners called 'Huo Lu' in chinese

We had BBQ, Kyle had his teether

Korean Rice Wine

Look at the BBQ stove and the exhaust

The exhaust was damn powerful! 

I love the Korean appetizers  

We ordered a variety of meats and vegs

We had 2 stoves for 8 of us

I mean 9 of us, plus lil Kyle

Kyle couldn't sit still

So we passed him around the table

But he still was not very happy, haha!
