Monster Skatepark

By | For kids, Hobbies, Travel | No Comments

The kids are into skateboarding/longboarding nowadays that even in Australia they went to a skatepark!  Papa was patient enough to take them.  It is around 30 minutes from the city center of Sydney.  I wish they had something like this in our country so the kids can enjoy in a controlled environment.  I get worried about safety in the streets

Steersons

By | Foodie, Travel | 2 Comments

Of course when in Australia, we have to eat steak!  We went to Steersons by the Harbour.  

I noticed that in most restaurants in Sydney, you need to put your own salt and pepper on the dishes or else there won’t be any taste.  So make sure to have a taste first and then add your own seasonings to your liking.

Blue Cheese souffle with Pancetta with Caramelized Pears and Rocket – YUMMY! obviously it is heart2heart’s dish

I noticed that Rocket and Parmesan is a popular side dish in Australia – I see it in almost all menus

Azuma Japanese Restaurant

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Just to show you how much the family loves Japanese food, we actually ate Japanese food in Sydney!  We asked the concierge to recommend one and he brought us here.   

I got mad at my family for always wanting to eat Asian food in Australia!  🙂 We had Chinese, Thai and now Japanese.  Well, I can’t complain because we enjoyed all!

Longrain

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Another popular recommendation from friends and family.   Thai fusion!  I love fusion everything because I always want to try something different and something someone created something out of the ordinary.   I wanted to label the dishes but when I went to their website, the menu has changed already from the time we were there and as I read the latest menu…. I WANT TO GO BACK ALREADY!!  So I will just give my generic description as I remember them which will actually not do justice to what they were called or what they were….all in all it was a great meal
