Queen Victoria

Last Sunday we went to Queen Vic market to buy some seafood and fresh produce. It happened to be a "Festival Malaysia" at the market and there were some 20 stalls selling Malaysian/Indonesian food. There was a large crowd there being a Sunday and a bright sunny day.

This was the first time we experienced a Malaysian Festival in Oz. However the cultural exchange was limited to just the food...... I didn't feel much of a "festival" at all. 

We bought a Bratwurst and coffee for a brunch meal. Bananas were cheap that day, only $1.99 a kg for "lady finger".

Darren's new home on St Kilda Rd

THIS MORNING WE WENT VISITING Darren and Linda's new home. The new apartment is really spacious. Some 2500 sq ft. I was really impressed with the European Oak flooring they recently installed. Pity I didn't get a photo shot of the really intricate wood grains of the flooring material. Anyway I did take photo shots of the views of the area.

We then went to Queen Vic Market to get fruits, vegetables, seafood (some prawns, sardines, red fish, bonito, and barramundi), Turkish bread, ham, bacon, and chorizo. We left the food at the apartment and made our tracks to Sharks Fin House for yum cha.

Samuel their son, passed his CPL flight test today and so his dad gave all of us a nice treat of yum cha lunch.
