Breakfast@ Kanteen, South Yarra, Melbourne

Finally it is weekend after 5 days of tiring working day. It is a sunny Saturday with light shower in the morning. We have made our plan to go for a nice breakfast and a visit to the famous Prahran market day before.

We went to a cafe that is located in South Yarra and the cafe was just beside the Yarra river. The enviroment was just perfect for a nice breakfast with the nice breeze from the surrounding.

The cafe name was "Kanteen" which reminds me the Malay word "Kantin". Hehe. Initially we wanted to try their big breakfast and lastly we opted for other food in the menu after considering the serving size (often served in huge size).


We started the day with a cup of Mocha and then followed by a croissant served with homemade organic jam. After that, we also ordered one of the Spanish dish in the menu which comes in a baked tray with goat cheese, egg and some salami. It was very yummy with the full flavour from the goat cheese. The goat cheese still linger in the mouth after the meal.

Royal Melbourne Show 2011

Royal Melbourne Show is a signature annual event in Melbourne since the year 1848. Award winning food, crafts, pets, livestock, carnival rides, showbags, free live entertainment and much more fun filled activities were the activities in this show. Last Sunday with a sunny day, we planned to drop by to the Royal Melbourne Show for the first time.

A special limited express train that directly to the showground is available from Flinders Station & Southern Cross Station. My childhood memories reflashed back upon reaching the fairground. The placed was filled with people and coloufull carnival rides. It is exactly looks like the fun fair that my dad used to bring us go when we a small. The only differerence is this time there are MORE rides!
Besides carvinal rides, there is also the well known "Grand Ribbon" livestock championships for cows and rams. This is the first time i came across the cows judging session during the Royal Melbourne Show and was overwhelmed with the size of the australian cows. It was HUGE! =) It is indeed a good exposure for us as there are different kind of breeds that participated in the show. Beside competitions, there are also cows for sale by the exhibitors at the fairground.


Cows for sale. Anyone?
