girls of bardon sakai in melbourne (part I)

First things first. Apologies for the late update since we got back from Melbourne. Alot as in ALOT ALOT ALOT has happened in the last 7 days. Lyn, if you're reading this, we forgot to tell you something! Err errr... Ronnie left for Singapore for good last Friday 11th =( but we'll get back to that story a lil later...

Anyhoos...

Melbourne was fun!
(LYN, WE MUST GO MELB AGAIN! AND THIS TIME I MEAN WITH YOU! HARUS!!!)

Won't be saying much, will let the pictures do all the work.

First day out in Melb? Bumped into a former coursemate FangFang (nama manja, bukan nama sebenar) who happened to have flown in from Brissie the same day we did. Yum cha-ed in Chinatown wearing a "koni-chiwa" top.
WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME!
Haha.

We've been told that Melb's famous for food and the arts.
No objections, Your Honour. We rest our case.

For anyone who's been down to Melb, any Melbournian will INSIST on taking you to Max Brenner for their extreme chocolate overdose of anything and everything. We opted for the chocolate fondue, where we got to play around with our food. Slices of banana and strawberries plus marshmallows poked and dipped in warm dark and milk chocolate.

NYUMM!!

Then, there was the ultimate nasi lemak at "Nasi Lemak House" on Grattan Road in Carlton.
(Thanx Mr Fazuzu for the recommendation!)

And then,
we found out about the OTHER extreme chocolate hotspot, Koko Black on Lygon Street.
Bellisimo!

We also have people to thank for for taking us around. Extra info, our initial Melb trip plan actually included SEVEN (that's right. SEVEN!) other people who hadta bail out last minute due to many unforeseen "excuses".

AHEM.

Had lotsa help finding good food thanks to Kim and Tansil, Julie and Linda, and Karen and Jenny.

Oh, Munks is now also known as AUNTY Munks. Meet 1yo Felicia Wong, her lil niece she just met for the first time.

Since we've already got 'food' covered, we also had all the spare time hunting down 'art' in the City. Graffiti hunting was fun! Found most of them in hidden alleys and narrow streets...
