More notes...

I remember you saying abt planning a trip to Melbourne soon so i thought i would drop a few hotspots and nice places to eat for yr pleasure in travelling... i'm sure u've already got yr plans lined up and probably already have announced it to all yr contacts in Melbourne... but hey! not everyone knows how to eat and travel.... hehee... so here goes:

Melbourne itinerary for a great friend.

Sight-seeing and taking pictures:
Stroll in St. Kilda and coffee at one of the cafes. Best place to see sunset. Should go on a Sunday coz they've got flea markets every Sunday.. though nothing much to buy from there.
Melbourne Zoo. Boring!! Unless u really really really REALLY wanna see kangaroos and koalas.
Great Ocean Road. Nice place for sight seeing but will take the whole day.... it's the icon of Melbourne.
Penguin Parade. Another full day but those penguins are darn cute.
Melbourne Uni. Sounds weird but man, their campus is just amazing. Right smack at the city.
Victoria Market. A must go... icons of Melbourne. Go on a Sunday after church... they've got heaps of stuff there.
Crown. The view @ Crown overlooking the mini-bridge and Flinders St. Station at night can blow u away. it's jst exhilariting. Mst watch the hourly fire display. Begins every night from 6pm to 12 midnight.
Nice places to eat:
Good but slightly pricey:
Mecca Bah @ Docklands. ideal for dinner. eastern meditarrenean food.
actually, i dont know a lot of expensive places to eat... so i'll pass on this.
Good and reasonable:
Grandma Kimchi @ City or Doncaster (Korean - yr favourite! :).... ) Their hotpots are fantastic especially when u're feeling cold. Beef tepanyaki not bad. ideal for dinner.
Italian food @ Lygon's. I forgot the name of the restaurant but it's the one with very obvious F1 decorations in the store. A few shops away from Sportsgirl. Somewhere along Lygon & Grattan street.
Don Don's at corner of Swanston and La Trobe street. Directly opposite State Library. (Japanese - can't miss their Teriyaki chicken!) ideal for lunch.
La Dolce Vita @ Lygon Street (gelati - CANNOT miss Roche flavour). My ultimate favourite ice-cream. *drooling*
Trampoline's @ corner of Swanston and Little Lonsdale Street. Another place for gelati.
American doughnuts @ Victoria market. It's a mobile van, parked right outside the frozen meat section. You can't miss this.
Krispy Kreme. Buy the original ones. IF you are a big big fan of doughnuts and u miss this place, you're gonna regret it for life.
Stalacites @ corner of Swanston and Lonsdale Street. 24 hrs restaurant offering Greek food. This is seriously super good. Get the mixed plate so u can try everything.
Cow and Chicken. hahaha... yeah, it's a very weird name. Serves very good and reasonable Vietnamese good. Located along La Trobe and Lonsdale, i think. don't quite remember the name of the streets. but it's directly opposite Stalacites. The chicken vermicelli is goodddddd... ideal for lunch.
Latte @ little Collins Street. Melbourne is always famous for their al fresco cafes. very nice environment to just chill and especially, if u have a good conversation.
Hot chocolate @ Max Brenner. I'm pretty sure u're a chocolate fan. so this is THE place to hang out... try their waffles. Indescribeable. Get their classic hot chocolate. the ones that come with the little mug. darn cute. ideal for after dinner drinks.
U can't miss this world-class hot chocolate @ Koko Black. It's the ultimate hot chocolate. once u try this, u wouldn't settle for anything less. Their chocolate set is also highly-recommended. it comes with choc ice-cream, choc cookies, choc mousse and jst chocolate. Crazy for chocolate..... located at Bourke Street. Right outside Jeans West. i forgot the name of the archade. they also have one in Lygon Street.
Though it's kinda funny how when u go Melbourne, u eat all this different kinds of food instead of Australian food. and that's probably one of the best things about Melbourne.. the price is almost the same with every kinds and types of food and it's super food. besides, what is Australian food? :)

My mum once asked me whether did i go to Melbourne to study a degree in communication or a degree in food review... hahaha...

Make sure u print this out yeah so at least u've got back-up places when u and yr friends are stuck...

Have a fantastic holiday in Melbourne. I hope your memories of Melbourne will be as memorable as mine. tell me more about it when you're back...
