Excellent (and tasty) TR, and congratulations to your nephew!

Nice details of Manly Beach! Haven't been there in a long time so took me a while to remember some of the places.

I just FINISHED eating and I am hungry after looking at these pictures! And thanks for the pics of Pancakes on the Rocks... "sweet" memories of that place Although I could only handle a small fraction of what you had

I wonder how much exercise is needed to lose all the kilograms from eating this much delicious food in such a short time

Thanks mate..
Unfortunately, those kilograms have became persistent residents now...
Very hard to push them to move out...

[Dent@SUB]

Ok, let's we continue with this "kampung guy"'s crazy culinary adventure...

On the next day, before lunch time, they went to the city again...
What else they did there except having lunch...

This time the aimed City BBQ, another Korean restaurant at Liverpool St... Just across the Makoto... on the 2nd floor...

That was still a lot of empty seats there (hey... it was still not lunch time yet, off course it's still empty... )






This time they were going to have the famous Korean BBQ...




As usual, the complimentary side dishes were served first...

[Dent@SUB]

And now the meats were served... beef, ribs, pork belly, etc...






Deep fried chicken with sweet and spicy sauce...




Phewwww... what a feast there...


Done with the BBQ, they went to Star City to get some dessert...

Guess what... the aimed for Messina Gelato and Adriano Zumbo cakes...

Just a short hop on the tram from George St, they arrived at the Star City...

And these what they had there...

Messina gelato... Those salty caramel and cappuccino gelato was soooooo delicious... one of the best gelato they have ever had...






And then, it's time for Adriano Zumbo's cakes...
One of the renown patissier in the world....






And also some macaroons from Adriano Zumbo....



In this "kampung guy"'s personal opinion, Lind's' macaroons taste better than the Adriano Zumbo's macaroons....

[Dent@SUB]

After a short visit to the casino, they went back to Kensington...
Got some rest and went for dinner...

This time they walked to Kingsford to have a dinner at It's Time For Thai restaurant...








On the way back to apt, they stopped to buy Chatime (pearl milk tea) for dessert...



Phewww... what an appetite they had...




On the next day, it's time for Chatswood...

From Kensington, they took a bus to Central Station...
And took a train from there to Chatswood...









There's a big Westfield mall at Chatswood...

And there's this "kampung guy"'s fav cafe in there... San Churro
(Well... actually his favorite one is the one at Glebe... but this one is the same branch just like the one in the Glebe... )

[Dent@SUB]

They have Spanish Chocolate drinks and Churros with dark chocolate and Spanish caramel dipping as a breakfast...

Look at this dark, thick chocolate drink from San Churro...
(This "kampung guy" personally like this San Churro's chocolate drink more than the Max Brenner's one... )






And that freshly fried warm Churros with dark chocolate and Spanish caramel dipping sauce with Strawberry and thick cream as a side dish... It's heaven...












Not just for long, what was left on the table just this empty plates and mugs...

[Dent@SUB]

Is that all??
Don't worry... that's just their snack for breakfast...
The real lunch has come to go after this...

After some little shopping at that mall, the went to Jang Gun restaurant...
Another Korean Restaurant at Victoria Ave...

They had a favorite menu there... Spicy Cheese Chicken...
Lean chicken cooked with spicy Korean spice and a lot of mozzarella cheese...

Let's we see what they had as lunch there...

The complimentary side dishes...


















Korean gyoza a.k.a. mandoo...




Spicy tofu soup...

[Dent@SUB]

And this one was the highlight of their lunch....
The spicy cheese chicken...







Another phewwww.... they really got a very healthy appetite...


After lunch, they back to Chatswood station...
An took a train to Bondi Junction...






And from Bondi Junction, they took a bus to Bondi Beach...

[Dent@SUB]

And here we are ladies and gentlemen... The famous Bondi Beach...























And look... what they had again there....
Ice cream... Movenpick Ice Cream...

[Dent@SUB]

And off course, no visit to Bondi Beach was complete without visiting this place... the place which sell Deep Fried Mars Bar...
And it was on a seafood store... what a surprise... Seafood store which's famous for its Deep Fried Mars Bar...










And this what the Deep Fried Mars Bar looked like....




Done with the beach, the went back to Kensington to pick up this "kampung guy" niece and also to put all the shopping things back at the apt...

And then from there they went to the city again...
This time to Town Hall...
They were going to have dinner at Ichiban Boshi...
Quite a queue there...






They had ramens and some other side dishes there...

The ramens were so good... (in this "kampung guy"'s opinion, can be compare with Menya's ramen, his favorite ramen resto in Sydney)

[Dent@SUB]

The gyoza set menu...






The side dish...
The gyoza....



Fried Japanese fish sausage roll...




What a feast for that night...



On the next, 4 of them went to Darling Harbour again...

They went to Lind's Cafe again, to get some Lindors and macaroons to bring home...








And as a bonus....
Lind's Ice Cream as the breakfast...

[Dent@SUB]

Now it's lunch time... (Early lunch to precisely... )
Where else the go except this Hurricane's...






And this what they had for the lunch...

Three full racks of ribs for four of them...








And this wedges was soooooo good.....




After a while, only this things that left on their table... wanna some..?

[Dent@SUB]

Satisfied with the lunch, now it's time for them to explore this Harbourside Shopping Center...

And they found this:




Boeing B737-800 flight simulator...












Wanna know what the feel being a pilot of B737-800?
Just try this flight simulator... (with some cost offcourse... )





What an experience they had...even for just sitting on the pilot chair...

[Dent@SUB]

After that they went to the Power House Museum to see Harry Potter Exhibition...

Ok... let's skip their Harry Potter's thing...

Now back to Kensington for their last dinner before went back home...

Another Kensington Peking visit...

And here what they had for that night...

Another Shantung Chicken...




Chili and salt deep fried squid...




Another king prawn omelet...




Mapo tofu...





Oolong tea....




Phewww.... what a menu for a dinner....

That's the last night for them at Sydney...
But it's not finished yet...
Still have another loooong story with the airport and the magnificent flight back home...

Just stay tuned....
