After the market, we went to have a walk at the beach.


Then, we headed to get our pizza lunch at Vicstreet Pizzeria.


Oh dear… I don’t remember what were they. Basically their pizza range from AUD11-25 with 3 different sizes to choose from.


Not sure about the pasta too ;p Didn’t pay attention to their order, they range from AUD18-21. Overall, it was satisfying.


After that, we went for dessert at The Ice Cream Shop.


Very nice place! Love the interior! No photo for it because I couldn’t get any proper shoot for it because there’s too many things and couldn’t really fit into camera viewfinder.


Left: I had Baileys ice cream (AUD5).
Right: Donuts.


After dessert, we splited into to groups, male and female.



The guys went fishing while we went for a picnic with our moscato, cheese, crackers, and junk food under the shade at the beach.


Left: Our group photos before heading home for BBQ.
Right: Our BBQ! Turned out well! Surprised with the outcome. With the table setting and the food. Really not the typical BBQ session, more like fine dining hahaha…

After dinner, we watched the final of The Australian Open. My first and last time watching it.

Final post will come soon.

We, the girls decided to have a relaxing afternoon having tea at the backyard while the other 4 playing mahjong. I got no clue at all on how to play LOL. I just watched.


We went to dinner at the Malaysia restaurant in Robe, Don’s Kitchen. The highlight was the lobster with ee mee.


Left: Tom yum soup.
Right: Mixed vegetanles.


Left: Don’t remember what’s this.
Right: Curry or is it rendang.


Left: Salt and pepper squid.
Right: Pork rib.

In fact I don’t quite remember the actual name of the food anymore but the lobster with ee mee is great! The total came to AUD300+ if I’m not mistaken.


The next day, the guys made breakfast, french toast and sausages. They’re such great cook!


Then we started discovering Robe.


The information centre itself acted as a library, mini museum, souvenir shops, and bicycle rental.



Happened that there’s a market going on. Lots to see and taste. My friends bought a lot of cherries.

More posts to come, stay tuned…

Robe (26/1/2013-28/1/2013) – Part 1

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Robe (26/1/2013-28/1/2013) – Part 1

Back in 26/1/2013, I went to Robe with my friends. There were all together 10 of us.

It was about 4 hour plus drive if not mistaken.


The second stop we made, the giant lobster!


Finally, after a long drive, we reached Robe. We went to get fish and chips for our late lunch.


Huge portion! Love the chips. Don’t remember how much they cost but I only know that ours (share by the 3 of us) wasn’t a set instead of we ordered the items a la carte, portion was huge compare to the set and almost similar price.


After that, we hunt for our accommodation. It’s a cottage. Very cozy cottage at Elizabeth Street.


Fully furnished and can fit more than 10 people.


The beds were shaky though hahaha…


It’s quite a nice place.


Cost us about AUD800+ for 2 nights.



There’s only one toilet and bathroom and both of them were located outside -.-” I don’t like this bit. It’s so cold in Robe at night even though it’s summer. Can’t imagine autumn and winter staying here. Need to go out to the cold at night to take a shower or to the toilet hahaha…


We immediately filled the space with our food! These are just part of our food.

To be continued…

Chinese New Year in Adelaide

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Chinese New Year in Adelaide

I know… I’ve gone missing for more than a week! It’s been soooo looong… I’m still alive! Every time when I wanted to update the blog, the server would be down. That made it’s even harder to update. Furthermore, was busy with my fammily trip. Finally done with my family trip. Now it’s back to updating this blog and enjoy the final week of my life here in Adelaide.

Lots to update. Let’s start my first post for year of the snake.

This is my first time welcoming CNY in Adelaide. We went to a friend’s house for it.

We had hotpot on CNY’s eve.

The next day, I went to church and they had lion dance performance. Here’s the video.

In the evening, we went the the same friend’s house for pot luck.

Just simple celebration with friends. This is gonna be my last time celebrating CNY here. Celebrating it back in Malaysia is always the best!

Happy Chinese New Year 2013

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Happy Chinese New Year 2013

So… It’s CNY’s eve. Gonna have hotpot session with friends then another session of countdown at another location. Last year, I was at Incheon Airport feeling rather sick and spent the rest of the flight sleeping until I reached Singapore on the 1st day of CNY. Then, reached Adelaide on the second day of CNY.

Second year of not welcoming the new year in Kuching. My one last time celebrating CNY in Adelaide. Going home in less than a month. Only the different is that my family is coming here on the 3rd day of CNY and we will be heading to Melbourne and going around Adelaide.

Hope this year will be a better year. Have a prosperous new year everyone! Gonna go missing for quite a long time this time due to the coming family trip and then the endless packing and farewells with friends here.

Have fun and as usual, don’t drink and drive.
