My day in Sydney..

Happy Australia Day everyone!

Last Saturday, me and a few of my friends decided to head down to Sydney for a short getaway. It was amazing. It was a impromptu trip to reward ourselves. I am glad we did it when we could. Food, shopping and spending time with friends was all that was part of the itinerary for the day. It was a great way to celebrate life.

Waking up at 4am to catch our flight out
to Sydney was tough but
still didn't dent our spirits for the adventure ahead.

First stop: Black Star Pastry in Newton
**Strawberry and Watermelon Cake is a MUST!
Light and refreshing.
You will be pleasantly surprised with this combination.
The colours are enough to tempt you
to pick this from the many goodies in the window.

Next Stop: Paddington for its quaint shops and the famous market.

** I Love Birds
Stumbled upon this beautifully decorated
shop in one of the lanes.
A beautiful display of vintage and new homewares.

Beautiful cushions found in Paddington market.
Chevron and Neons are enough to make my heart skip a beat :)

** Lunch at Ippudo Sydney
Best Ramen I have ever had. The tasty broth is bound to
start a party in your mouth.My friend, PJ highly encouraged
us to try this  place because she visited the original
shop in Japan last year.
I am so happy we listened to her advice.

**Dinner at Chat Thai
Heard so much about this place from friends.
It definitely beats all the Thai restaurants
in Melbourne. Hope they make it to Melbourne soon. 

Yummy food overload. My highlight is the Prawn Tom Yum.
 It has the sourness of the usual Tom Yum
 I am familiar with but the texture is so different. A definite must to try.

**Desert at Laduree
Each individual macaroons is flewn in from Paris.
Can you imagine that?
I just had to try one.
A lil' pricey but my curiosity took the better of me.

 I did feel like a queen that day. I was happy we made the trip. Hope you had a beautiful long weekend yourself. Would love to hear what you did on your long weekend :)
