Had a great lunch yesterday at the Observatory Hotel. They run a series of lunches throughout the year themed to different seasons. This one was themed to the races spring carnival.
I met up with Mel and Keeva for a four-course lunch, excellent wine, a fashion parade and a fabulous goodie bag.
Dinner – Mexican! Great vegetarian burrito in Glebe, followed by chocolate overload at San Curros. Yum! Why is the Glebe SC better than the Chatswood one? It’s a mystery!
Revisited Zumbos on this wet, miserable, freezing day. Big mistake. It was super cold out! We grabbed some of the new cakes and had breakfast at the cafe, but were chased away by the cold weather and ate the cakes at home.
The hunt for the new pizza place of choice continues. We tried Crust tonight, a local place who deliver for free (woot!). Really enjoyed the pizza, and we will be back for more!
I’m not a sushi fan, but Alec is, so we stopped by before watching Fame at the movies. While I don’t really like eating sushi, I love the way it’s prepared and enjoy photographing it.
Our fave pizza place, LCC, recently closed down. We are now searching for a new pizza place. LCG was our test subject tonight – and they were pretty good! I will definitely be back.
Alec and I stopped by Zumbo’s for afternoon tea after house hunting. Always a pleasure!
Just a quick dinner at Spice Me Up! at St Leonard with Lisa.

I don’t usually care much for Valentine’s Day, but falling on Saturday this year provided the opportunity for me and Alec to spend some quality time together.
We started in Bondi, hoping to go to the bagel store Glick’s. However, Glick’s is closed during the day on Saturdays, so we wandered up the road to this quirky cafe instead for a huge brekkie.
Three Steps Cafe, Bondi. Home of the all-day breakfast as well as a host of other treats.
We then drove down to Bondi Beach even though it was cold and wet. Turned out to be a great idea, as the weather kept all the tourists away – score! I’ve never seen the beach so empty.
Since outdoors was not looking positive for the day, we set off for the Museum of Sydney to see an exhibition called Tails of the City – the story of pets in Sydney. I’ve never been to the museum before – I didn’t even know where it was! It’s a nice little museum on the site of the first Australian parliament house.
A trip to that part of town isn’t complete without stopping at the Lindt Cafe in Martin Place. I always get the same thing – the chocolate milkshake – so opted for the ice chocolate instead ($7). It was exactly the same as the milkshake though, which would have disappointing if I didn’t love the shake so much 🙂

The sign out the front said it was rated highly in the Sydney Good Food Guide, so we had to try it out.
We ordered a pizza each after seeing a pizza on the table next to us. It turned out however it was a children’s sized pizza, and when ours came out we were pleasantly surprised at how huge they were!
