My new heater :)

As the weather is getting colder and colder, the tolerance level of me compacting cold is getting lower. Especially for this year, Sydney weather has the lowest temperature in 20 years. Therefore we decided to buy a new heater to compact the cold :-)

We shopped around for a good heater that would last long and look nice in our living room :)

And then we saw this heater. It's a very light heater, as well as fitting into our living room theme perfectly ^^

At night G and I went out for a restaurant around our local area - called "Not Bread Alone". It is a nice, compact restaurant, sits around 10 tables at most, so booking is essential.
We have chosen 2 dishes for entree and 2 dishes for main:


Seafood Chowder
Seafood Chowder




The texture of the soup was too starchy and needed a little more seasoning, however there was alot of seafood in there. I actually liked with the one @ Nicks Bar and Grill better ^^ They were the best I have tried so far hehehe.



Bruschetta
Bruschetta
With the Bruchetta, I personally preferrd it with lots of balsamic binegar which I believe that it was lacking in the dish.


Seafood risotto
Seafood Risotto
For the mains, the seafood risotto looked surprisingly different to what I had expected. Again it had a very generous amount of seafood in it. I loved this dish!



chicken breast stuffed w/ mushrooms & walnuts

With the chicken breast, G said the meat was a little too tough and the dish needed a little more seasoning.
We didn't try the desserts (although they all looked very mouth watering), because we had the bday cake waiting for us at home :) Therefore I had a cup of skim cap instead.

I liked the coffee art on the coffee:)

We'd be happy to explore their breakfast and dessert menu at some point later in future. We'd definitely be back!

We went to this travel expo back in March this year. This was a two day event, conveniently located in the Convention Centre, Darling Harbour.

We were very keen to find out more about:

  • Things to do and sightseeing in Taiwan, Singapore and possibly Malaysia - we are planning a trip to tw in Aug! (less than 2 months to go! whoo hoo!)
  • Honeymoon destinations! :)

We ended up taking around 5 bags of brochures when we walked out of the expo!!
