3-DAY Sydney Food Trip on a Budget

by: Icie

Yes, it was possible to go to Sydney without spending a lot on food and still have a good time. The trick is to avoid the fancy looking restaurants which, frankly isn't really worth it, and go to questionable places to find the "unplated" food but is super delicious! Ugly delicious is a thing and we humans need to appreciate food more based on the flavour, texture, and cuisine style rather than the prestige that was given to it by tire companies.

Here's the rules:

Maximum of $40 for 2 people. Drinks are not included in the tally because we had service water.

Amount shown is rounded off.

Everything is in Australian Dollars.

We can only call it affordable if it's $25 - $30 per person (i.e. if you're only one person eating. Anything above it is breaking the budget if you're eating with someone.)

It's a per meal challenge. $40 for a whole day is impossible unless you're just eating junk food and where's the fun in that?

Let's begin:

I combed the internet for recommendations on good Sydney food and tallied the ones that the internet has deemed worthy of visiting and gorging yourself on and I visited them with my partner. Honestly, exploring Sydney's food scene was what made our trip worthwhile and made us fall in love with Sydney.

Brisbane can't compare! Sydney is far superior foodwise. (Granted, I haven't been to Melbourne but that's a different story for a different day.)

~~~~~

DAY 1: Laneway Dumplings and Momo ($32), Tomyum Ramen from Hell (Dinner $30pp. As a group, we broke the budget and failed this challenge.)

Both situated on Temperance Lane in Sydney, you have to go through the back alleys to find these rare and absolutely delicious food. You'll know you're there when you pass by the Latin bar, see the fairy lights and plastic greenery near the Rick and Morty mural. The momos and dumplings were great! You were given a choice to create your own sauce or get the shop's recommendation. We did both. We had the recommended momo sauce for the Himalayan dumplings and created our own for the mixed dumplings. We were so disappointed with what we created and we loved the momo sauce so much, we ordered another batch of momos and sauce just so we could pig out. We should've been satisfied with a share plate of 16 pieces of a $17 meal, but nooooo... this food, I like it! Another!

Tom Yum from Hell was a beast! My spice tolerance is pretty high (I can eat Samyang Buldak without crying) so we tried it and ordered our tom yum. The kind lady at the counter asked us our spice level and I went in guns blazing and said "give me your spiciest tom yum!"

"Are you sure about that?"

"Hell yeah!"

"uh... if you say so."

Bitch, I cried.

When they said their tom yum from hell was from hell, you better believe it. She warned me and I didn't trust her. I was in spicy hell! The flavour was amazing, be it seafood or meatballs, and the lemon juice gave it just the right acidity to raise the intensity of the swirling party flavours in my mouth. And the creamy eggs made everything come together in something that is a good representation of Sydney's Asian Noodle scene. Ok, next time I stop by Sydney, I'll try their medium spice and have a glass of milk beside me to alleviate the haemorrhoid inducing Scoville defying spice effect of their amazing tom yum.

Day 2: Marrickville Pork Roll (breakfast $22), Mamak Malaysian Roti and Satay (lunch $25), Mother Chu's Taiwanese Gourmet (Dinner $20)

There was an internet consensus for Marrickville Pork Roll. Is it the best banh mi in Sydney? Absofuckinglutely. The meat of their crispy pork was so tender it melts in your mouth and whatever sauce they put in their banh mis were so complementary that my partner cannot help but close his eyes and moan about how delicious these pork rolls are. We found out later that this was a franchise of the original shop in Marrickville, but if the franchise was already this good, then the OG must be insane right?

Mamak's roti was nice, flaky and buttery and worth every penny. So much so that people from all over line up outside with or without reservations just so they could have a taste of what this Malaysian restaurant has to offer. Outside, we were treated to a show of how their rotis were made. The gluten stretch of that thin dough was enough to make any baker worth their salt jealous. After seeing that display of craftsmanship, we just had to order the roti canai. We also had nasi lemak but it just can't quite compare to the absolute beast that is their roti canai.

Lastly, we have Mother Chu's Taiwanese Gourmet which is Taiwanese comfort food at its finest in the heart of Sydney's Chinatown. Oh my god. So this is what actual Taiwanese comfort food tastes like. It is distinct from your everyday Chinese food and dare I say it, tastier. Each dish in this restaurant makes me feel like it was made by a caring mom who made something nice and warm for you because you have a cold and then give you a kiss on the forehead to tell you that "you'll get better soon, trust mommy." The Taiwanese Style Savoury Mince Pork Congee feels like the cosiest thing you'll have on a cold Sydney evening. And the Traditional Taiwanese Worker's Noodle soup was so fresh. The ingredients were so cheap that it only costs $8 but it all came together harmoniously that you'll feel like you were in a food anime where you're transported into a body of a Taiwanese worker who is saving money, exhausted from a day's work, and just wants to have a nice comforting meal at the end of the day.

Day 3: Din Tai Fung (Breakfast ($33), Emperor's Garden Cakes and Bakery (Breakfast $5), Kowloon Cafe (lunch $39)

Back to Chinatown we went because we discovered that's where all of the cheap but delicious food places were.

I don't get it. I wish I understood the reason why Din Tai Fung is so popular. I think the quality lies within the skin of their xiao long bao. They do not get soggy or the broth doesn't seep out no matter how long they stay in the steamer, but without the chili sauce, it's just not worth it. The beef noodle soup is also kinda meh. Is Din Tai Fung one of those restaurants that were hyped just cause somebody some time ago said it was good? You wait for so long and it just comes out disappointing especially if you're an Asian who is used to having tastier dumplings for 50c a piece if you just crossed the street from where you lived. There must be a reason why their HK branch got a Michelin Star right? Or is that overrated too? Please, somebody explain to me why people line up for Din Tai Fung.

Disappointed, we went to another spot in Chinatown. We lined up for another institution: Emperor's Garden Cakes and Bakery for the famous Emperor's cream puff. Wow! Finally some god food! For this one, we understand why people were willing to line up while it's 12°C outside just to have a bit of the hot, tasty and mouth watering cream puffs (which is actually manju) that is dirt cheap. it's $5 for 10 pieces and wow! It was love and decades of hard work in manju form.

Last on our food trip agenda was Kowloon Cafe. It was more expensive than the others but the servings were good for two people. Bruh it was great! The meals told us why Hong Kong cuisine is a force to be reckoned with. Who knew that baked rice with black bean sauce worked well with melted cheese? Hong Kong people, that's who. They also had a sense of humour when they called their French Toast "Thick Ass". The scrambled eggs with prawns was also so creamy and shaped like a tornado on top of creamy rice. I checked the reviews and it was rated 3.7/5. I understand why it was rated so low, it was an authentic experience of Asian street restaurant culture where the food is good but the staff is rude. They passed by and dumped the bowl in front of you unceremoniously and you were expected to eat fast and get out. Delicious! Reminded me of home!

All in all, the Sydney cheap food scene is worth trying out. We were surprised with how delicious everything was even if everything we tried was Asian cuisine. Mind you though, we went to the places that were recommended by a lot of people and they all just coincidentally happened to be Asian food. On our next trip there, we will be eating Western dishes and hope it's just as good as just as cheap.

There you go, here are some of Sydney's good food, how much they cost and a little preview on how they taste and what to expect. I bet there are better ways to go on a Sydney food trip on a budget, feel free to comment and let us know about your Sydney recommendations!

Day 24 - 3 May 2024 - Sahagun to Calzadilla de los Hermanillos 15km

I have had to redo this post as it did not save. Where’s my IT gurus when you need them ?!

Anyhow I believe I started the post with Carrie the day before saying she was giving up consumerism then her first statement this morning ‘I need to do some shopping’. Hope Alan brings his credit card to Leon. 😂

Breakfast still didn’t endear Sahagun to us. There were few cafes doing breakfast and the better ones were full. We managed to find a tiny local place which was clean to have our morning cafe con leche. We did have abit of an emotional moment though when it suddenly hit me that we were over the half way mark and what a monumental achievement that was! We both got tearful.

On the way out we saw these pollarded eucalyptus.. we both love them! We both also loved the wall art in Calzada de Coto.

We were abit puzzled by the field of dead sunflowers and why they had not been picked!

The scenery was pretty flat and featureless. Not much to redeem it.

The village we were staying in was also soulless - nothing going on lunchtime when we got there until we magically found a bar serving food tucked round a corner. And the decor was stunning but the bar ‘manager’ was rude and officious. Shame as the food was excellent.

Amazing decor and it looked new. Lets hope Mr Grumpy doesn’t drive too many people away!

Our hostel is also beautiful but disappointing in that the lovely lady who runs it was there on her own so no pilgrim menu.

When we arrived it seemed like all our Camino family was there! Jenny of pole dancing fame/Mel from Brisbane and our dear friend Mark. Mark did have a male friend with him - less said the better. Mark had left behind his two female friends that he was helping out and he always seems to be helping people.

We recommended our lunchtime restaurant to everyone we met so result was 5 of us ended up there when it opened at 7. Mark bought a bottle of wine to share. We started to look at the menu and Bart, from California went to order food. Turns out the bar didn’t do food in the evening and Mr Grumpy hadn’t thought to tell us when it was quite clear we were looking at the menu! It was 7.30 - in the middle of nowhere and the one supermarket was closed. So on advice we legged it to the only Albergue in town that did food. And during the meal Carrie’s bag got wet when the open bottle of wine fell (she’d ended up carrying it)! Chaos!

Fantastic Family Entertainer

Thursday 9th March 2023

The alarm clock sounded alarmingly early this morning, 5.45am to be precise. The train was to pull majestically out of Rockhampton station on the dot of 7.10 so this needed to be a military exercise. The station was a 33 minute walk away. The heavy cases were already there, so it was just us and some carry-on luggage to worry about. An Uber was the ideal solution. The app was dusted off and pick-up and drop-off entered. Mr Uber said he was sorting it for us and I could see a driver having a kip in the north Rockhampton Woolworths carpark. I could practically hear the big Z's coming from him, but no amount of reassuring from Mr Uber appeared to bring about the desired affect and mobilise this solitary vehicle. With no alternative, after the point of no return was reached at 6.10 we donned walking shoes, grabbed armfuls of carry-on and set off in the morning sun being polite to early dog walkers. Arriving on time, our suitcases retrieved from overnight storage and duly stashed where suitcases go somewhere in the depths of the guard's van we took our place in Business Class carriage A on the seven ten tilt train to Brisbane, a 635km journey that should take seven hours forty minutes along the 3 ft. 6 inch narrow gauge track, standard in much of the state. Breakfast ordered we relaxed in the expectations of lashings of English repast suitable for the time of day. Well it wasn't a Wetherspoons or a Morrisons, it was more closely aligned to aircraft, but it was hot. Some form of egg, baked beans and a tiny sausage.

We followed the A1 Bruce Highway passing those 1km long coal trains on their way back from discharging their load at the Gladstone Coal Terminal all set to pollute some other continent.

Punctuated along the route were welcomes in native language from representatives of the First Peoples from that area. We were much obliged I'm sure. The 130 mph tilt train introduced on this North Coast Line in 1998, so named because it can tilt 5 degrees in either direction leaning into a curve in the same way a motorbike might and therefore not needing to slow down so much on curves. Considering how straight Australian lines are I'm surprised such technology is required. Some motion sickness can be seen as a possible outcome but could be used as an excuse for the quality of the breakfast. Business class benefits were wider seats allowing just three in all across the carriage instead of the customary four, and also a small plastic cup of orange or apple juice on embarking. These meagre niceties make all the difference.

Sausage roll for lunch. Four dollars, about £2.10.

Very enjoyable train ride, but it did pull into Brisbane's Roma Street Station 40 minutes late. We rumbled 5 mins walk to the Mercure hotel in the city centre and are suffering the shock of first there's a free breakfast involved and secondly they want 10 dollars a day for WiFi!

Eating out tonight was fun. We found a great little Vietnamese restaurant and tucked into a pork and prawn stir-fry washed down by SB from the bottle shop. When the meal arrived it was accompanied by a small rogue bowl with clear liquid in it. Well, we peered at said item and pondered whether it was soup or a finger bowl. Tricky, either way it doesn't do to get it wrong since the staff will snigger. Turns out it was soup.

Day 7 Domingo (Sunday)

And many stores are closed, even my local supermarket!

I woke up early, around 5.30am, and it was still dark. The group fitness timetable starts quite late. The first class during the week is 7.15am with afternoon sessions starting at 5.30 or 6.30pm, and nothing before 9.45 on Sundays. I had Ricardo for Schwinn (the bike brand name) cycling at 10.00am (and @Fiona & @Kelly, I didn't feel comfortable asking for a selfie just yet LOL!). I managed to keep up with his instructions in Portugese, and a smattering of English. I understood "Jody we're now at 70RPM". With 5 minutes to go Ricardo asked me how I was doing, I said "great, but I have no idea what's going on!"

Will or I won't I? Yes I will walk into La Parisienne! Hmm, the croissants didn't look quite like the ones we are spoilt with in Brisbane, so I opt for a chocolate dome thingy not knowing what was inside, ummm marshmallow!

After another shower and second breakfast I headed to the Portimão museum to see the history of sardine canning in the region. They had a small art exhibition in the foyer and later this month they have an exhibition, the Portuguese prison photo project. I think this might be a global project as I'm sure I saw it advertised in another country?

My next mission was to find quality fresh grilled sardines, but I didn't know it's not the season until May. Hopefully the sardines will be in abundance so I can try some before I leave! At a heaving local restaurant, Dona Barca, where the waitress informed me that lunch out on Sundays is a big deal, I waited for a table and could not decide what to have instead of the sardines, I opted for the seafood soup. It came in a small crock pot with a raw egg on top and at the table the waitress folded it in with two spoons. The couple beside me engaged with me at the end of my meal. She's Portuguese, he's American. She moved to NYC when she was 3yo and met him at uni. They have 4 kids and 10 grandchildren and now reside in Coimbra. They said it's only a 6 hour flight home. I didn't have a chance to ask them about their decision to move to Portugal as their entrees arrived and they chose well, a kebab of king prawns and monk fish!

To work off those carbs I decided to head towards Praia da Roche for a walk along the foreshore. It was so refreshing, until it got cold! I was going to see if there was a sunset from a place called Three Castles, but it was too cold. I was determined to not be concerned about drinking alone so bypassing many options I headed into Irish Rovers, as it features a lot in all the FB posts I've signed up for. I headed to the bar to order and the bartender was definitely hitting on me! It was hard to understand exactly what he was saying, Irish accent and music in the background. He asked me how long I was staying and he was rabbiting on about me leaving him in 4 weeks! I ordered a cosmo, as there was no wine by the glass on the menu and I really don't know what he said, but my reply was "I can't be tamed!!".

Posted: 2/13/24 | February 13th, 2024 Brisbane is the third-largest city in Australia. Most travelers visit the city on their way to the Gold Coast or as they head up toward Cairns. They tend not to stay too long, as the city doesn’t really have the allure that other parts of Australia do. But Brisbane actually has plenty to see and do, and I think people should change it. Home to just over two million people, it’s a very outdoorsy place, with lots of parks and even an urban beach. There’s a high quality of life and a hip restaurant scene, and the largest koala sanctuary in the world is just outside of town. And, since it’s not too spread out, you're never really too far from anything. To help you plan your trip and figure out where to stay during your visit, here’s my list of the best neighborhoods in Brisbane: Where to Stay in Brisbane for Sightseeing: Inner City/CBD If you want to be in the center of it all, stay in the Inner City, known colloquially as the CBD (Central Business District). A ton of restaurants and cocktail lounges can be found in the area, along with some fantastic attractions like the Queensland Holocaust Museum, the City Botanic Gardens, and the Museum of Brisbane. The Brooklyn Standard is a speakeasy-style bar with a NYC theme, featuring excellent live music. Make sure not to miss it. There is also the large Queen Street Mall nearby if you want to go shopping. The main transit hub, from which all long-distance buses and trains depart, is located in the CBD, making it an ideal starting point for visitors planning trips elsewhere in Australia. Plus, it’s located between South Bank and Fortitude Valley, two other popular neighborhoods, so it’s easy to get to both from here. Best places to stay in Inner City/CBD: BUDGET: Selina Brisbane: Opposite the main train station, this chic hostel offers private rooms and dorms with warm, inviting colors and local artwork decorating. Individual reading lights, curtains, outlets, and lockers are featured in the pod-style bunks. A fully equipped kitchen, a library, an outdoor movie terrace, and a co-working space are also included. For budget-conscious tourists seeking a peaceful stay, it is a great choice. Midrange: Royal on the Park: Located directly across from the City Botanic Gardens, this hotel has a stately feel to it with its large rooms, carpet, and dark wood decor. A hot tub, a lounge, an outdoor swimming pool, and a restaurant with a substantial breakfast buffet are all present. The spacious rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows that let in an abundance of natural light, and they are simply designed. Rooms also have ergonomic work desks, USB ports, and espresso machines. LUXURY: W Brisbane There’s no shortage of luxury hotels in this neighborhood, but this five-star hotel takes the cake. Like all W properties, it’s stylishly designed, and this location offers three restaurants and bars, a spa and fitness center, and a pool overlooking the river. The spacious rooms are funky and bright, with fun pops of color, deep bathtubs, rainfall showerheads, Nespresso machines, desks, and 55-inch flat-screen TVs. Where to Stay in Brisbane for Food and Culture: South Bank This lovely neighborhood is situated directly across the Brisbane River to the south of the CBD. There are many restaurants, fantastic shopping opportunities, miles of parks and walks lined with trees, and a gorgeous inner-city beach to be found here. The Queensland Cultural Centre, which houses the Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art, is one of the many excellent museums. Along the riverfront is also the well-known Wheel of Brisbane, an observation wheel rising to a height of 60 meters. Simply strolling along the river promenade or getting food while people-watching is something I truly love to do. You often see musicians and outdoor dance classes here, and, in the summer, there are usually a lot of events and festivals too. The top accommodations in South Bank are: Budget: Being

one of the priciest parts of town, there are not many truly affordable places to stay in this area. You’re better off either staying in the West End just to the south or across the river in Inner City. The closest hostel to the area is Somewhere to Stay Backpackers. MIDRANGE: Novotel Brisbane South Bank – This sleek hotel offers an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center, and a restaurant serving a delicious breakfast buffet. The spacious rooms have a modern design, with lots of clean, white space and pops of color from the Brisbane-centric photography on the walls. All rooms have comfy beds, a seating area, flat-screen TVs, open-plan bathrooms, and electric kettles. LUXURY: Emporium Hotel South Bank This five-star hotel exudes contemporary elegance, with chic furnishings, plush fabrics, and curated art. Amenities include a luxe infinity pool, a spa, a fitness center, and three restaurants. The large rooms have incredible views and boast luxurious mattresses, Bose sound systems, and marble bathrooms with indulgent showers that have excellent pressure. Many have balconies as well as spa baths. Where to Stay in Brisbane for Nightlife: The Valley Fortitude Valley, known locally as just “The Valley," is the place to go to hit the town hard. It attracts a young crowd that comes for the plethora of clubs and bars in the area. If you’re looking for some nightlife that isn’t so wild, head to the formerly industrial Howard Smith Wharves along the river, which have been transformed into a pedestrian boardwalk brimming with some of the city’s best restaurants and bars. Craft beer fans shouldn’t miss Felon’s Brewing Co. If you’re into cocktails, head to Mr. Percival’s overwater bar for excellent drinks with even better views. The best places to stay in The Valley: BUDGET: Bunk Brisbane: This hostel attracts younger travelers, though it’s surprisingly not that social (there’s no bar, and there aren’t many common areas). It’s located in a renovated warehouse, meaning that there are high ceilings and large windows with lots of natural light flooding the entire place. There are both private rooms with en-suite bathrooms and dorms (including female-only ones). All rooms are quite spacious and furnished with wood furniture. The showers have great pressure, and there’s a guest kitchen and laundry facilities too. MIDRANGE: The Constance Fortitude Valley This funky boutique hotel is decorated with colorful street art and murals by artists from around the world. All rooms have a desk, a pod coffee machine, a walk-in shower, blackout curtains, and a minibar; some have spa baths and a private courtyard. There’s a rooftop bar, a café offering breakfast, a fitness center, and free access to a nearby pool and gym. It’s great value for your money. LUXURY: Crystalbrook Vincent Located on the edge of Fortitude Valley, this sleek five-star property almost feels like a resort. It features an infinity pool with magnificent views, two restaurants, and a fitness center. The spacious rooms are all uniquely designed, with curated artwork and bold accents (like emerald-green couches and brightly colored throw blankets). All rooms have comfy beds, walk-in rainfall showers, plush bathrobes, flat-screen TVs, desks, and blackout blinds, and most even have a couch. The hotel has a strong focus on sustainability, with waste-free bathrooms and upcycled furnishings. It is also entirely single-use plastic-free. Where to Stay in Brisbane to Feel like a Local: West End Just south of South Bank, the trendy West End is teeming with great restaurants, independent stores, bookshops, craft cocktail bars, and breweries. It’s an especially popular area for brunch; you’ll find lots of Greek restaurants here too, thanks to the thriving Greek community in the area. The alleyways are adorned with beautiful murals, and on the weekends, several markets pop up, taking over the streets. This is the best place to stay to soak up local life, but it’s also not far from the attractions of South Bank and Inner City, meaning you can truly have the best of both worlds here.

The best places to stay in the West End: Budget: Somewhere to Stay Backpackers: This hostel offers both affordable private rooms and dorm beds. It almost feels like a resort, with an outdoor pool set in a leafy interior courtyard, a veranda with fantastic views over the city, yard games, hammocks to lounge in, and a massive, fully equipped kitchen. The rooms themselves are pretty basic, but this is the kind of place where it’s more about common spaces anyway. MIDRANGE: Atlas Apartments by CLLIX This condo hotel offers apartments with a clean, modern, minimalist design. All have floor-to-ceiling windows, fully equipped kitchens, a dining area, walk-in showers, and a balcony or terrace. The property has an outdoor pool, a fitness center, a steam room, a barbecue area, and laundry facilities as well. It’s a wonderful place to stay if you’re traveling as a group or family. Luxury: As more of a residential neighborhood, there aren’t any true luxury hotels here. If you’re looking for something high-end, head to the Emporium Hotel in nearby South Bank *** Brisbane is a fun city whose cultural diversity is reflected in its eclectic neighborhoods, each contributing to the city’s identity. When choosing where to stay in Brisbane, don’t fret too much, as it’s pretty small and easy to get around. You’re never too far from anything. As long as you choose from the above neighborhoods (and hotels), you can’t go wrong. Book Your Trip to Australia: Logistical Tips and Tricks Book Your FlightUse Skyscanner to find a cheap flight. They are my favorite search engine because they search websites and airlines around the globe, so you always know no stone is left unturned. Book Your AccommodationYou can book your hostel with Hostelworld as they have the biggest inventory and the best deals. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as they consistently return the cheapest rates for guesthouses and cheap hotels.

Woke up and got breakfast a nearby cafe. We then decided to checkout this place where they had wild kangaroos running around. It was an hour bus ride. But we got to see some wild kangaroos.

We came back to the hotel and rested up for dinner. We got burgers and then after we stopped by a bar and got a drink.

It was going to be a hot day so planned on spending most of the day indoors. I booked a Sydney Opera House tour. It was cool seeing the inside of the Opera house. I've always seen the outside in pictures but never got to seeing it up close and inside. After the tour I figured we should watch a concert so I bought tickets to a Christmas concert for Friday.

After we got lunch and we headed to the museum of contemporary art. We spent a couple hours there. Then we headed back to our hotel to wait out the heat. After when it cooled down just a bit, we then headed to Bondi Beach. We walked around and just enjoyed the scenery.

We came back and had a snack and some drinks at the hotel. We then walked over to Harry's Cafe De Wheels. Apparently it's a famous Australian fast food joint. It was ok. They had meat pies or whatever. We came back after and watched some more peaky blinders.

Then after we headed to the Sydney Opera House for the concert. It was a fun concert and the choir and the orchestra was great. I am glad that we got to see a concert there.

We headed back to the hotel and started to pack.

December 16th:

Woke up and headed to the airport. It was a travel day. Landed back in SFO around 7AM. Caught my flight back to SD and came in around 10AM. After I unpacked my stuff and rested up. The wife landed around 1 PM and I picked her up and then we picked up our dog. After we lounged around and we went to a holiday party that one of the wife's friend was hosting. Came home and watched more Peaky Blinders.

December 17th:

Woke up around the usual time. Went to church. Had lunch and met someone who was a potential to sit our dog. He wasn't a good match. In the afternoon we walked the dog and lounged around the house. Made some Aperol spritz and probably have a late dinner and watch some Peaky Blinders. Good vacation. now back to reality.

My First Experience as a Cambodian in Melbourne City!

by: Somaly

Namaste wonderful souls and dear readers, 

This year, my cousin (monk) stayed and practiced his religion at Thomastown, Victoria. We decided to visit my cousin on a long weekend. My husband loves to stay in Melbourne CBD so we flew to Melbourne on Friday and returned to Brisbane on Monday. It was my first time to explore the city.

My cousin stayed Eysanmeanchey Temple for three months then he returned to Cambodia.

When my husband and I arrived at the Grand Hotel, the hotel manager was very helpful, friendly, and warm in welcoming us. We felt very comfortable and safe. We love the hotel building's historic appearance and central location. The manager recommended Cafe and Eatery Grain Store. We went to the cafe for two breakfasts. Their foods was beautiful, well decorated, and super delicious. We would recommend the cafe.

Our plans explored city, enjoyed foods, visited my cousin, went for a massage, and took a short nap. Our traveling practice might be different from major tourists and travellers. We just know that we can visit the city again in future so there is no rush to see all the popular destinations. We are spontaneous explorers and worked with what our body needs. If we felt tired, we stopped and took short nap. We love to support local restaurants, pubs, taxi, and business. We love to explore Melbourne cuisines.

For my first experience and travelled in the Melbourne I was amazed with all the high rise buildings, historic buildings, people, lifestyle, culture, foods, public transportations, some small block streets where I could find the restaurants, food courts, street arts, pubs, and river walk. I felt like Melbourne City is bigger, busier, and more modern and in advanced than Brisbane. however I still love to live in the Brisbane suburbs. 

My husband and I had a relaxed time and an amazing experiences in our trip. We cannot wait to explore the beautiful cities and places in the world. We are saving and planning our journey. We have some countries that we would love to experiences and learn from the people lifestyle, culture, language, historic buildings, interesting destinations, and foods.

Our travel expectations are simple and easy going. We understand that we might have bad or good experiences in our trips. We wish that we could have the wonderful time and experiences, meet the beautiful people along the way, have safe trips, gain the knowledge and insights, and be able to share and recommend some good hotels, good restaurants, delicious foods, and interesting destinations.

Rare Opportunity Outside Deep Waterfront

[charlesandmartine]

Sunday 12th March 2023

I think the Hotel Mercure took pity on us because of our desperately early flight this morning and kindly gave us some take out breakfast. Just a meager repast but welcome nonetheless. Had we been partaking in the restaurant we would have cleaned them out; the works and some put by for luncheon. Still it was a very adequate pot of yogurt, cereal and fruit, fruit juice and pastry selection. Just what was needed having been dragged out of sleep at 5.40am. We trundled the 5 minute walk to Central and caught the 6.31 Airtrain to Brisbane Domestic Airport in a still half dazed state; the heavy rain overnight having abated. A mere 1 hour 10 minute flight to Sydney was easy to take as punishment and we were ready for the very last section of our time here in this wonderful country.

Our home for the next 3 nights is in Darling Harbour and within the sound of the Anzac Bridge so very central and convenient for the City. The accommodation is in the form of a suite with kitchenette, lounge area and bedroom so pretty comfortable. The first thing to do after checking in was to walk over to the SOH, passing Queen Mary 2 in Circular Quay and book the last opportunity we shall have this time around to visit this iconic place again. With no opera on this week we have booked to see the work of the immortal bard, Macbeth on Wednesday evening in the Playhouse which one of the three theatres in the SOH. Being an Australian production is it possible that when the line 'Is this a dagger I see before me' someone might say 'that's not a dagger, THIS is a dagger!' Perhaps. We are looking forward to it and the very next day we travel home to blighty.

After booking the Opera House, we moved on to the Art Gallery of NSW. We like this place and were keen to see some more of its modern art although it is sometimes hard to quite catch the message the artist is intent to convey. Still enjoyable though. We walked back through the park, bought a rubbery chicken and retired immediately.
