Melbourne Trip II: Queen Victoria Market

Its been a hectic week with little sleep.  But watching Spain advance from one stage to another, however makes up for that.  My first few days was spent around the city for shopping and eating.  One of the places where I had my very first meal was at the Queen Victoria Market.

Morning brekkie:

Bratwurst to share!

This place has been here for ages.  And that applies to the crowd too.  Its not the best thing ever but it tastes quite good.

After that Xin Ling and I had:

Does anyone else remember these little jam filled delights? At only 90 cents, these are Krispy Kreme beaters!!  But these dry guys need a refreshment which is easily found all over QVM:

xD.

Oh and in my last post I wrote about some Solo performance at the Moon which was totally emo?  There was this other guy playing music in the market and he was fabulous.  He added serenades the atmosphere with a happy feel.  So unlike the performance the other guy did at the Moon.

Ok folks, thats all for now.  Will continue updating as soon as I can because I have tonnes of pictures to post up!

Touch Down: Melbourne!

Its amazing how you can pay 1000 bucks on a Qantas flight that serves you crap food with the WORST in flight entertainment you could get for that money.  But its ok, Melbourne has a lot to offer if you can put up with that sort of service. 

For today, a rush down Swanston for a big ass meal at the Meat & Wine Co. was sufficient.  I shared a meal of meat and chips with Kelvin, Xin Ling and Stefanie.  We had a 1kg pork rib @ $49, a lamb shank @ $28 and a $32 Angus Beef Butcher Skewer.  All these were delish but the Butcher Skewer a specialty, came last in ranks because it held the least substance for a yummy meaty meal.  The rack and the lamb shank on the other hand were fabulous.

This by size is competition for Tony Romas but the taste on the other hand well.. its pretty good.  Definitely above average.  Over and out, beds calling :D!

Despair in the Departure Lounge.

I’m finally setting off to the Melbourne in less than an hours time.  But the brain is no longer feeling the excitement.  Maybe its just how sad the domestic airport really is.  Bleah!  So uncool.  Nothing much to eat, to shop or even see! Damn!  Wonder where all the money the spent on went.  Hmmmm…?  Probably just on the undercover walk path!  But its ok.  I’ll be meeting the little girl again soon!  And shopping too! Hohoho!  On last night however was no different.  A joyous yet somewhat saddening occasion.  Not sure whether was it the music or that one of my besties are leaving forever(ok not so, he’s coming back in two months time).  Last night I was out chilling with Yobi and fishman.  Fishman is not leaving but Yobi is! Dang!  He’s pretty emo about this whole thing too, but the apple strudel should cheer him up a bit.  This again is one of my old man lines but, I really cannot believe how far we have come in our lives.  Its an achievement for sure.

Yesterday night we headed to the Moon for some live music.  The place has and always been outstanding.  Ambience, crowd and food.  Love their catchy logo too! Their interior of junk was no difference.  Its arrangement was a wizardry of cosiness and comfort with a hint of laziness on its old couches.

Nothing gets better than hot chocolate on a chilly winter night.  Ok maybe not so, a good company has similar praise as well.  Whether its for a good chat or to snug with, good company never dies!

For the night we had some Jesus/Russel Brand inspired emo-kid strumming his tunes all night long.  I think that dude was on for at least an hour. And god his tunes were @.@!  Not sure how they found him but I only liked his 2nd song.  And that is like 1/10?

Presenting to you, African Child.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Ok peeps, the plane is waiting so I gotta get running. Ciaows!
