FOOD, HOLIDAYS, Melbourne, Uncategorized MELBOURNE: dandenong 4 May 2008

Still at Dandenong.. getting out of the car and fussing around

Okay! All ready to head off

At Olinda Village, how charming!

Sittin’ pretty

What am I taking a photo of??

This cuuuute bumble bee!!

With Chris πŸ™‚

This little shop was tucked away, and in an actual house.
They gave free marshmallows outside to roast over cedar wood!

Cooling them off quickly before eating. They were goooooood.

The cosy shop, selling all sorts of random home stuff

So I FELL INTO A DITCH trying to get into the car.. and Dad decided to take a photo of it!!! o_0

Dinner at Springvale, at First Taste

Colourful menu

Inside the menu

Ginseng Stewed Black Chicken Soup ($5.80) – most people are freaked out by black chicken
(it’s actually a small chicken with silky pure-white feathers, but black meat/skin!) but I LOVE it.

Intently food-photographing πŸ˜‰

Chicken and mushroom hot pot, and Black pepper beef hot pot

Wonton Noodles. OMG this was great!

Okay, food photography done. Time to EAT…

I normally dont like em as they often get them REALLY wrong here in Australia.. but these were awesome!

Mmm those hot pots look good… I love your red jacket, you’re so stylish even on vacation! I would be in jeans and sweats. πŸ˜€

Hehe I wear jeans and tops all the time too! Just that particular day I was in a skirt cos it was sooo sunny in the afternoon πŸ™‚

I wish I could get it here in Syd! It’s totally unavailable πŸ™ I looove the one my mum makes, mmmm

Melb has great Chinese food like Sydney, I guess countries with loads of Asian immigrants have the best Chinese food πŸ˜› Mmmm!

OMG, I know I shouldn’t laugh at your bad luck, but your dad is hilarious!

Aw, that bumblebee is certainly cute…and the wings!! I would have been afraid of it too though!

Those hotpots look so good and yum! wonton noodles!!!

Dad is silly πŸ˜›

The bee was just happily playing around in the flowers, so it wasn’t bothered with me being so close!

Yeah, I would be freaked out by the black chicken too. I’m surprised you took a pic of the bumblebee, I would be afraid that it would sting me.

Chris thought it looked sooo strange too, I love it though, it has a sweeter and more fine texture than regular chicken!
