hahaha, really sorry for the loooooooooooong break in between the posts but listen to my excuses first kay? i had to find a new place to live in (nearer to uni, in a better condition blah blah blah you get the idea) and spent nearly 2 weeks searching high and low for “the one”! i went to numerous house inspections only to be let down and yeah the cycles went over and over again. anyhoos, i found the perfect place! going to show you a teaser photo of it!

there you go. remember the lot number. HAHAHH!

the last time i left you guys, i was at day 2 of the melbourne trip. we shall now head into day 3 of the trip! full of glorious food and beautiful weather.

i visit www.kyspeaks.com very often and he once spoke highly of a breakfast place in Melbourne. he mentioned that it was located next to the tram tracks. guess what, chung brought me there! MART in all its glory! woohoo!

tram spelt backwards! is that brilliant or what.

the very quaint setting although located right next to the tram tracks.

the counter where all the good coffee is made!

a gorgeous lady behind the daunting coffee machine.

it’s a definitely a very very cosy place!

and you could even see the trams from the windows!

everything inside this cafe reminded me of the combination old&new. look at the ceilings. white ceilings(i presume to be newly done) but with vintage lamps. isn’t it amazing?

chung’s chai latte.

the china is absolutely a piece of art. heck, the cafe was filled with art!

my latte. yum

chung and his toast. he had bacons for toppings.

a closer look at the beautifully caramelised bacon.

my huge pancake stack!

i could barely finish half of the dish. chung helped a little! haha

and that was only breakfast! we went to dfo to shop a little after and there were some really good bargains. esp shoes. oohh, shoes really do kill women/ladies/girls. they make an awesome item for collection, but beautiful shoes usually kill the feet anyway. oh the hate and love!

we went to a famous greek restaurant for lunch. this was definitely one of the most memorable meals i had in melbourne.

according to chung, this place is always full of people!

the dipping sauce was the best i’ve ever tried! hands down!

pair the dipping sauce with some pita bread…and wow. awesome stuff.

oh and i love the very flavourful meat! it goes very well with the pita bread and dipping sauce.

and for dinner, chung decided to treat me to a spectacular 7 course meal at kobe jones. mindblowing experience, i’d say

started off with some lovely fritters fried to perfection.

and then moved on to a selection of sushis and sashimis!

lobster. THE WHOLE OF IT MUAHAHA! ok, i love my lobsters. i had this toy called prawnie (i swear it’s a lobster although it’s called prawnie) at home and i couldn’t fall asleep unless i had it in my hands. my mum had to constantly save it by stitching the ‘arms’ back hahaha. it served me good for 17 years! i’m going so off topic

lemon sorbet to balance out the saltiness in your mouth. this was absolutely important in our entire meal as it really took away the slightly heavier flavours left in our mouths. it prepped our mouths for the next course!

wagyu beef on the stone! awesome stuff i tell you. it melts in your mouth and has a very good texture. give me this anytime!

and finally. a dessert platter. the best was…

creme brulee!

we headed to the casino next. chung told me there was something i should watch at the casino.

and we waited and waited…..until

vroommph! a fire show!

imagine the heat just by looking at the photos i took. o___________0

and we walked back, taking in all the views of Melbourne. it was my last night there, after all.

chung and i. bff!

till next time! still another chapter to go

I am nothing but a painter, waiting for death.
