sorry ah, first picture is food liao. tt was sunday's dinner. gourmet pizza washed down with lychee infused vodka. it cnt get better than tt eh.
mine was called [4 stagiono]. its pizza with tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, ham and artichokes. but i took out the artichokes and added mozzarella because cheese is my weakness. hah!
nice menu above the pizza kitchen and filipino-looking chefs. good atmosphere as well.
the next day a trip to brunswick street, the more alternative sector of town, according to suiyi. music people, arty people.. you get the idea. we stopped at a spanish chocolatier called
san churro and had churros. -_-" but it was good! hot churros dipped in dark chocolate sauce and chocolate milkshake. decadent decadent.
we returned back to the city centre and went to the windsor hotel. always wanted to take a look at the hotel, because its the only grand hotel in melbourne, built in 1886, i think, and i wanted to see how different it was to raffles hotel. loved the front entrance alr.
the "ladies' powder room", as they call it. pretty! but not as nice as raffles. heh. unbending loyalty to my former employer. as andre would agree, RH has the best shittable toilets outside your own home. hahaha.
thought i looked stupid trying to get a picture of myself in the telephone booth. the booth was an old elevator transformed to well, a booth, so it was quite cool.
and since we were in the area, i decided to look for the best chinese restaurant in the world, and really the best - from all the rankings there are of restaurants - flower drum. you cnt get a table without booking months in advance.
its so discreet the door has no signs on it. could see the manager standing just inside the door though. wish i could eat there. wish i could eat there. ahh!
coming back soon!
velda.
