roadtrip: southern highlands


our trips are really more for the food. first stop mcdonalds! we obiviously had to fill our tummies before starting our trip, it wasn't really a long drive. just about an hour before we had our next stop. we visited the bowral market which was erms.... nothing much really. G got to see horses for the first time and he was pretty intrigued; couldn't help wondering what he was thinking when he saw them. if only we could read their mind.


then it was to town where we had lunch at the gumnut patisserie where anything the pastry was those that melt in your mouth. their pies and desserts were almost heaven and it was really a pity we couldn't take any home as it was closed by the time we were done with our hike.

the happy hikers

the mountain lion we saw on the way >_<

i was told we were going for a hike but it was only when we got there did i find out it was a three hour return hike o_O the box vale trail was quite a nice walk, i thought we were heading towards a waterfall or something.... but we only got a view from the top. i was hoping for something to cool my hands in, ah well. throughout the hike G's fur was stuck with heaps of tiny twigs so he would stop abruptly in front of us to pull them out almost causing most of us to trip over him. pity we didn't have a better camera coz there were pretty nice locations which me & clara happily offered to come back and be models for *grin* alex got a shock when this giant mountain lion coloured dog appeared out of nowhere and jaydee was entertaining G on the hike back by trying to get him to run through his legs. the empty mcdonald's cup justin was holding was his company for the whole three hour hike.


poor G was soooo exhausted, he slept the whole way home and was in bed by 9pm. oh and to end our trip.... delicious wagyu beef pho for dinner!

heavenly toblerone ricotta crepe


i've never really been a fan of desserts with cheese... yes, i don't like cheese cake! you can imagine how reluctant i was when i was told to try this while dining at il locale blu in mcmahons point. take a bite of the toblerone ricotta crepe and vanilla ice cream which by the way all melts in your mouth and i was in heaven.... ooo this is probably the only cheese dessert i'll enjoy. such a pity that the restaurant has been sold; however they do have a branch in haberfield but i don't know if it's exactly the same. as for the mains? i had a seafood pasta which was tasty but i would have preferred my food to be piping hot. if i ever crave for this dish again, i will definitely hunt down the restaurant in haberfield. just thinking about it makes my mouth water.... *drips saliva*
