Lunch @ Jacques Reymond Restaurant

I know I haven’t been blogging recently, my apologies. Well, I am back now. =)

My apologies again as this post is backdated to March! Teehee

We had lunch at one of Melbourne’s best restaurant - Jacques Reymond which had been named as The Age’s Good Food Guide - Restaurant Of The year 2010”. The service was excellent, it was comfortable and has beautiful atmosphere, and of course the food was sensational!

Let me start to show you some snapshots before we started our yummylicous lunch! Enjoy~

I like the way the butter is presented as this kinda presentation is not usual.

Complimentary bread

Woops… I barely can remember the name for all the dishes that we had. So I will just let the pictures do the talking ok?!

Desserts time!

My all time favourite – Latte

Petits fours

Overall it was an amazing lunch and I would definitely recommend you to visit this restaurant and it is a perfect place for a special occasion. Do check it out yo!

Since we were in the neighborhood, we decided to visit the streetwear warehouse sale at Brunswick Street which I saw advertised few days ago.

I don’t really a big fan of those streetwear brands like Stussy, Mooks, etc… but hubby is! We spent about 1 ½ hours in that warehouse and got ourselves a huge bargain for these… 7 pieces of clothes, 2 travel bags, 2 belts and 1 laptop case for less than $180!!! So... what do you think? =D

-----------------------------------------

2 weeks ago we visited the travel expo at the Melbourne Exhibition centre.

Europe is always the place that I wanted to visit so badly. People called Paris the “city of romance”; England, ancient and legendary cities; Milan, “world’s living art gallery” and high-end fashion; Holland, the remarkable Windmill Island and there are so many countries that full with their own attractions.

Well, the good news is hubby booked us a ticket to Europe next year in May! I am so excited about this trip and I am looking forward to. =) We’ve grabbed some brochures form the expo as you can see here

So, we will start working on our trip soon to decide how many countries to visit. Hmm… it seems like there are a lot of study to do here. Europe, I am coming to you! Till then…
