Sinfully delicious and sweet

I had a great weekend! It all started on Friday when Mr and Mrs Tomato arrived with their black Aurion in the evening....I actually forgot how wide the seats spaces in an Aurion are even though we rented 2 of them in NZ just about 3 months ago! Anyway, it was about 5pm on Friday when they came, and it's the start of the 'kidnapping' + makan-ing trip!!

First we went to Chadstone to 'walk around and spend time before dinner' because it's still early. After about 1-1.5 hour of walking around we started to get hungry so we went to Pancake Parlour for dinner.... but we didn't eat pancakes! And I forgot to take picture of the food we ordered either @.@ There's some discount for early dinner (before 7pm) but the food portion wasn't really large (I ordered a crepe with some chips)....but it didn't matter coz we already planned to have supper after that anyway =P

Got this pic from its website...but yeah this 'ancient pancake mixer' was at display in the Pancake Parlour at Chadstone =)

Next stop was the city! Yup, we drove into the city for supper.... Conney suggested a place at Melbourne Central which sells delicious sweet crepes (different from the ones we had at Pancake Parlour).

Yummy... we ate lots of berries that night

That's not our last stop yet. We then drove on to and parked near Crown Casino... nope we're not there for gambling, we're there for the CAKES! YES CAKESssss

The broad selection of mouth-watering delicious looking cakes at Greco

SS while waiting for our cakes

Yeah it was quite a long wait as usual (p/s: Brat, why you like opening your mouth?)

Finally our cakes arrived... strawberry vanilla cake...

...and double chocolate cake...reaaaaallly sweeeeet

After filling our satisfied stomach, we went into the casino...to look around! That's the purpose when Conney asked me to bring my passport when we left halls earlier haha~~

We spent about 10 minutes looking for the black Aurion when we were about to go back coz we forgot where we parked the car =.= We reached Clayton around 12.30am after a traffic jam at M1 (yes first traffic jam ever in Melbourne!! =.=) But I was really happy that the night was well spent... thanks to Mr and Mrs Tomato who also belanja me the desserts =D

But the makan trip didn't end there. The next morning (Saturday), after grocery shopping at Clayton, we went to Doncaster.....to YUM CHA!!! Wahahaha finally stepped into the famous yum cha place in Melbourne - Tai Pan restaurant (I think it's the one that we Monash gang had been wanting to go since ages ago but didn't manage to, but now I finally did!!)

Haven't got the pictures from Conney yet but this is what she sent me...summarising the splendid lunch we had =D Guess how much we spent...$75!! =P Really satisfying

Thanks to my kidnappers for the great makan trip haha~ Brat kept calling me the birthday girl even though I kept denying coz it wasn't my birthday yet. But I felt honoured =P Speaking of that, I actually requested them to write me a card (我知道我脸皮厚，虽然是第一次和Brat见面可我还是在他们俩面前这样说，因为感觉好像一见如故啊) because Conney's cards for me from the past 2 years got lost in the post and I never received them at all...but they were one step ahead; they had already prepared a card for me!!! So HApPieeEee and touched =D And as Conney said, “两年来寄给你的卡都给post吞掉，[Brat added in “浪费我的邮票钱！”] 今年我就亲手交给你！” hahaha yay ^_^ Haven't opened it yet though~

Went to Pinewood to watch the movie Up with the Monash gang on Saturday night. It's been a while since we had a gathering like this =) The movie was great, definitely a movie worthwhile watching!
