Via Del Corso @ Sydney Tower

Hi, I am here to rattle on more of my trip to Sydney. After my pleasant experience walking the sky walk at the sydney tower, if any of you guys have walk the walk, it's fabulous, right? 

Basically when I am travelling, I will do a little bit of research on the area I will be visiting, the tourist attraction and local food.

This gelato is on one of those list of a 'must try'.


The recommendation was their nutellino. Is basically a Nutella chocolate with nuts glazed around the tip of the cup. And of course, there are many gelato selections; from the fruity kinds to the creamy kinds.

Blue Mountains, Australia

I've got to share some of my best blue mountains photos, it was rainy and foggy when we get there so I am pretty sad we can't get a good picture of the layer of rocks as we've expected. I think the eyes are best equipment to capture the moment but not my camera.




I had their fish and chips, it's not that hard to find because they only 1 cafeteria, food area to be exact. 

And I had to share this scenic railway, which is my favorite ride of all haha...go research why hehe^^




The Wayzgoose Cafe @ Leura, Australia

On the 2nd day of our trip we went to Blue Mountains. We follow along a coach so when we were on our way to blue mountains the coach stop at this small town called Laura. 

We have a short 20mins break but we were so hungry that we had to get ourselves something to eat. I am surprised they were pretty fast with our orders but I am thankful we've ordered only 1 dish to share since we do not have much time on hand.


Their well known for their mocha and it's really good, the weather up there at that time was about 10 degree Celsius so it was rather cold, so a hot cup of coffee was just perfect.


Their big breakfast consist of your choice of eggs so we chose poached, as I preferred it that way and as the yolk flows through the toast and then through the sausages, it just adds all up so perfectly together. Yummy

Sizzling & Hot Pot Kitchen @ Dixon House (Sydney, AUS)

Sorry everybody, i have been away for awhile, I went for a short vacation to Sydney, Australia and I didn't want to disappoint you viewers so I always do what I do best and search for good food to introduce on my blog.

For your information, I haven't been to Australia so I based on my research and experience as I go along. 

Our first stop will be the Dixon House which is located at the heart of Chinatown, the Haymarket area. If you like spicy and salty food, here's the place. Every entrée you ordered, it comes with rice and their portions was very generous. So basically, you order and they will give you a number on your receipt and they will call you up after when the food is ready. As I have mentioned many times I will always go with the crowd and it seems this stall attracts most of the people in that location






It's worth a try:)

Coffee Club @ Marina Square

Our day couldn't get very much worst than this on friday. My friends and I were going for our usual second round right after our dinner @ Raffles Courtyard. We went to Coffee Club @ Marina square, their service was really slow and it wasn't that many people either. Our drinks which I didn't bother to take despite having to wait for 30min seem fairly easy to prepare and doesn't need a whole 30min to prepare. FYI, the drinks came way after we finished our macarons and nearly half way eating through our chocolate mouse. And talking about the macaroons, I suggest not to get them because it was way too hard.

And with the thought that nothing could ever go wrong with a chocolate mouse; we felt that we are munching something really bad, it was sour and at first I thought it was bitter taste from the chocolate; maybe?!! but my friend declared that it was sour. So in this mouse you do not get that soft consistency that you would get in a mouse basically. 



So without finishing our chocolate mouse we decided to order their mud pie. We totally put our last expectation in this mud pie because we saw a couple other tables ordered it so we did the same. 

And thankfully, the mud pie save our day. It's basically oreo hardened cookies chocolate based and chocolate ice cream top with coffee ice cream with oreo crumbles. 


My friends and I agreed that we may be going back to coffee club but not this outlet.

Bittergourd Fish Soup @ Hong Lim Complex Market & Food Centre

If you know this Hong Lim area, you should know that they are well known for their curry noodle, wonton noodle and char kway teow but i have another personal favorite in the area which is the Bitter gourd fish soup at level 1.

I don't like bitter gourd, but surprisingly enough the bitter gourd being placed in the soup makes the soup very tasty. It has those kind of fishy bitter taste feeling to it. 

Try them, very nice and light. 


Raffles Courtyard Restaurant & Gazebo Bar @ Raffles Hotel

Okay it was a belated birthday celebration for my friend, we went to Raffles Courtyard to enjoy much of the ambience and food. Our experience was somehow surprising. 

Firstly, we ordered the Bruschetta Mushroom and we felt the Bruschetta was too hard on the outside however the filling on the centre was really good. And for our entrée we had the Paccheri Con Funghi, which we felt kinda blend as we could only taste the cream and mushroom but the Paccheri was mostly blend. Besides that we had the Linguini Con Pesto, for this dish the taste was ok with the garnish of pine nuts and all but we didn't feel anything special about it.

So,  our conclusion for the night was whether or not we have picked the wrong dish or this place are just more to cocktails and getting some drinks with friends and hang out with the amazing ambience.

As for service, it was really great and accommodating. 




I will definitely give it another try the next time around and order something else.
