Adelaide Trip - Day 1

It was a long holiday during XMas and New Year, so we made a trip to Adelaide for 4 days 3 nights. I used to find travel tips epscially from blogs with itinerary whenever a trip was planned. Try to get info of "must-visit" spots, places of nice food and drinks and etc is a must for me! =)However i found that there are not much info on Adelaide. Mostly are just information provide by the tourism board or tripadvisor on the tourist spots. Therefore hopefully, the post that i prepared here will eventually useful for people who plan to visit Adelaide soon!



First impression of Adelaide?? Comfortable city with wide roads! Unlike Melbourne, congested with cars, trams and people! Haha. Adelaide was deemed as the most relax city in Australia. On the first day, we catch Jetstar from Melbourne to Adelaide and upon arrival we check in into our serviced apartment, Mantra on Frome. It was a nice serviced apartments that was situated just walking distance from the CBD street mall.


After a short rest, we headed to Adelaide Zoo with intention to have a look on their latest attractions, the Panda. Adelaide Zoo was given with 2 Pandas with name Wang Wang & Fu Ni by the Chinese government for the period of 2 years. Besides Panda, the Zoo also have vast collection of animals and worth a visit. More information about the zoo, visit their webiste at http://www.adelaidezoo.com.au/

Ford Moonlight Cinema

Summer is finally here after few months of chill weather. Although it is officially in "Summer" now, weather in Melbourne still unpredicted. Sometimes the temperature can goues up to 30C while another day it will drop to 12-15C. Despite the flatuation on the weather, people in the city has been starting to have summer activies such as visiting the beaches, summer parties, night markets and etc.


Moonlight cinema is one of the annual event held by Ford during summer and this time i took the opportunity to experince it in Melbourne. After checking the weather forecast ensuring the weather was good on Friday evening, we get all the stuff ready for the outdoor cinema. The screening was held in Royal Botanical Garden in Melbourne CBD and the weather of the day was just perfect. Nice weather with some cool wind as the night approach.


We bought along our picnic gadgets such as the beach towel, cooler bag filled with chips, beer, cola and gummies. The show will start when the sun sets down but due to summer, the day time will be longer. Thus the movie screening starts around 9pm. We also rent the bean bag at the location which perfect to lie down to view the entire show. It was a great experince lying down on a grass bed with a wide screen ahead surrounded by trees.
Do visit the Ford Moonlight Cinema http://www.moonlight.com.au to check the movie screening titles and other information.

Macaron or Macaroons

Many people often misunderstood that both macaron and macaroons are refering to the same thing. According to Google definition, Macaron is sweet confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food coloring while Macaroon is a cookie made with egg white, sugar, and ground almonds or coconut.



Macaron has been one of the popular sweets is Australia in recent couple of years. You can find macaron at most of the cafes in Melbourne. On last weekend during tea time, i was brought to this little cafe in Toorak Road to try out their "special" macaron. The cafe owner were both from Malaysia and they have this "special" macaron with Kaya & Butter. I have not favour macaron all these while as i found that they are too sweet for me liking. But after i tried the Kaya & Butter Macaron, it was just nice and perfect. I like it! =)


Supersized Macaron =)

Besides Kaya & Butter macaron, Lux Bite ( the cafe's name) also has few special flavor macaron such as pandan, peanut butter, salted caramel and many more. On top of that, they also have series of creatively decorated cakes which i adored it much.

Koala Close Encounter =)

According to weather forecast earlier, Saturday will be a sunny day. Yippie!! We headed for a short roadtrip to Ballarat wildlife park in the morning. Based on some studies from other blogger, in the wildlife park, visitors get to get close to koala and even can pat on them.


This is pretty unusual as each states in Australia has its own rules in protecting this special and cute marsupials. It used to be rule in Victoria state that public is not allowed to pat or to handle koala. Guess the rules has been changing slowly whereby public is allowed to pat the koala with their keeper around and also the koala did not show any sign of stress.



It was a great experince for me today at the wildlife park to get so close, realllyyyy close to the koala, Milton. He was so cute! I have been to Melbourne Zoo and Koala Conservation Park before early this year whereby they do have koalas in the park. However none of them allowed public to get close to it. Thus, anyone that wish to have a gentle feel on this cute animal, you can visit the Ballarat Wildlife Park. Koala show starts at 2pm daily where the keeper will bring the koala for public to pat and explain some of the bio-details.


The park have few sections of the Australian animal exhibits such as the reptiles, wombats, tasmanian devils, koala and open enclosure of kangaroos whereby visitors can puchase some of the kangaroo's food to feed them. Although the park is not too big, but it is definitely worth to visit especially you can get close and pat the animals!

Entrance fee: AUD 24

Breakfast again...=)

Melbourne is indeed a place with vast choices of nice and sumptous breakfast. Felt really blessed to be here with my loved ones. Thank God. =)


We were to this small little cafe at Seddon, West Melbourne after attending a house auction nearby. The cafe was built with attractive exterior with it's theme Gravy Train. It has both outdoor and indoor space for it's customer and the food was great with reasonable price.


On that day, we ordered a Roma poached eggs and spinach omelette with toast that are listed in their "Special" menu. For drinks, we go for the "fresh" cranberry and raspberry shakes for a healthy boost of the day. Beside, we also ordered their bacon and chicken pasta for sharing basis. Turn out to be very tasty and rich in flavour. Yummy!

Definitely will visit the cafe again!
