Here were few shopping places that i went during my visit to Melbourne recently. Thanks to Helena for such good recommendation. I especially love to visit Royal Arcade and The Block Arcade, they have a lot of little speciality shops, fashion stores, cafe and etc.
The Block Arcade
you can get some nice ribbons and cards from this little shop...Card & Caboodle
Try to get some Haigh's chocolate home, they are very good!
Royal Arcade
Beside two Aracde, i also got a friand mould and a 24 mini muffin pans from MYER and David Jones Departmental stores
I love their nice wrapping
more shoppings at Bourke street and Collin street
we have this diva shop here also..
Now come to foods.
This was the best steak we have ever had..we went to their branch located at South Yarra where just nearby our hotel. we even back again to this steakhouse before our flight take off at the midnight ..Squires Loft Steakhouse
my camera battery gone when nice foods come, no choice, use phone to take these pictures..
Sticky date pudding with butterscotch sauce (I saw Terri highly recommended this dessert) .
We feel the butterscotch sauce was a bit too sweet, but overall this is a nice pudding..
Hooked seafood ( nothing to shout about their fish fillets but salad and pesto sauce were very yummy and refreshing!)
Hungry Jacks- the cheapest meal that we had in Melbourne, AUD 3.96 (if i could recall) for a set of burger, come togehter with drink and chips..somemore they have free internet !!
I saw quite many Malaysian restaurants here..but we did not visit any one..
I'm heading off to Melbourne at the end of the year. Looking at your posts makes me all excited to get there asap! :)
ReplyDeleteI want to go for holiday too..
ReplyDeletehopefully end of this year..
Sonia, you know what, I have just made some sticky date puddings 2 days ago n there were just absolutely delicious (haha... sendiri oloh!!). This pudding is a famous dessert amongst western society however its not really popular in Asia. I like to eat this dessert with cream so that it balance out the sweetness.
ReplyDeleteI went to that Haigh's chocolate shop 3x wanted to get something nice for my friend but at the end I change to Lindt chocolate instead haha! My husband scolded me very imchim! haha!
I got a few nice things from the arcades but can't afford to buy all. :)
Helena, actually i was thinking to make that sticky date pudding, the other day i saw a nice recipe..at the end i decided to wait until Puasa month, because at that time, there will plenty of dates selling here..
