Yum Cha Advent"CHA"





Had yum cha at Bondi on Saturaday(26/1/13)! The restaurant was extremely elegant and the service was really polite. We ordered baskets of dim sum (prawn dumplings, rice noodle wrap.....) Went there with my family and decided to go shopping in Westfield Bondi afterwards. Astonishingly I bought clothes from ZARA. After all the shopping was done, we wanted to go to COSTCO for fresh groceries, but forgetting that it was Australia day we drove for 45min and discovered that it was closed. Then we went home, but on the way home I asked to have a McDonalds run and bought 2 soft serves to eat of my sorrow of not being able to visit COSTCO! Overall had a great day!

Cat & the Hat

Bought an Australian umbrella hat! Looks nice huh? The rubber strap is pretty tight around my head, but i reckon the hat is perfect for when I go fishing or as a piece of head protection when I am having a water fight!

This hat provides a fair amount of shade and only cost $5.00Aus. Since it's Australia Day on Monday, i will have to go around wearing it long weekend!

Productive & Fulfilling Day In The City


 My family and I arrived at the Sydney Fish Markets in late fashion, arriving at around 1:00pm on a Saturday.
We bought our seafood ---------> and before we arrived, I was expecting to eat around 5-6 oysters, but to my astonishment my auntie ordered 30!!!!
Since there were only my cousin and I who adore oysters, we both each ate around 10 or more. We also bought sea urchin, seaweed, prawns and fish and chips. Overall was great, just the fact that the Fish Markets are always packed on the weekends finding a place to sit was extremely difficult.
We then walked around the Darling Harbour to walk off our full stomachs and on a mission to find the giant rubber duck that travels around the world bring joy to people. The rubber duck is in Australia, because it is a guest for the 2013 Sydney festival. Although it was cloudy and had sprinkles that day, tourists and locals all stopped to admire and take down memories of that cute rubber duck. I was really happy to see it before it leaves Australia. It's gigantic!

After hanging out with the giant rubber duck we were a little fatigue and were in need of a snack, but finding ourselves indulging on the riches, finest chocolate cake (Opera) and different flavours of macaroons at Lindt  Chocolat CafĂ©. I ordered 5 macaroons which were champagne, strawberry, pistachio, vanilla and cookies and cream delice. They cost $3.00Aus each, but let me be honest, they are worth the money.  

Spending Time In The City!

 Spending a beautiful day in the city in Australia with my family, had ramen for lunch! This place was really cheap and had a great atmosphere. 



Went to the arcade (attempting) to win some prizes at the claw machine, but was unfortunately unsuccessful due to the fact that the new machines having a strength gauge where timing is crucial.  


Attempted to win some stuffed toys (Lamas). Couldn't get my timing right with the gauge. Had a great time "trying" to win some loot.
