We Love Melbourne - Part 5

Day 4. Its Queen Victoria Market, i love the sound of this place.....sounds so fun and grand at the same time.

breakfast


Jovann trying to grab my food as usualll...


Little boy messing about in the luggage...


The temp is very cold today. Douglas told us it dropped from 15deg to a sudden 9 deg coz of the rain. So bundled up Jovann to the max, and me too. When we reached there, it was just afternoon. Hubby said today's market opening hours the longest, so we took a quick walk through, noted what we wanna buy, and went to have lunch.

but BUT BUT!! HORRORS! When we came back from a leisurely stroll and lunch, realise many shops are packing! oh dear..........lucky I oredi bought all the lovely toys......now was a mad rush for the rest of the shops.....lucky the one I wanted is still open. Then I saw a NICE white long jacket, only at $35....how can I not buy? hehee.

Discovered this quaint little market off the main market, its names Fine Foods...I went ga ga over the stores of pickles, all sorts of cheese, pickled octopus, cabbage...aiyoh, just so yummy! even have Bratwurst sausages (we had one!).....






and there is this organic market off this fine foods market, selling organic produce. Of course, I can't help venturing inside. after all, I do need some more vege...right? hheee. bought an organic zucchini, and an organic xiao bai cai. I deliberately choose the shop that packs the vege in paper bags....always had a soft spot for those things..hehehee...



My loot!


HUbby wanted a leather jacket still very much, so after this, I suggested we go down to Myers and David Jones. Had a lovely time shopping. Myers is HUGE here, they are divided into 2 huge stalls. one block away from each other but kinda connected. I love bridging betw the 2 coz then I get to enjoy the weather. hehehe!

Jovann window shopping...

When snooping around, found this little quaint lane of shops....nice! Stepped into a shop selling books, and puzzles and games. and spend around $40 there hahahaa. Bought a book on Brilliant brain games for kids, and a box of cute flash cards. Wanted to buy the SNAP but didn't....


Stopped by for a shot of fresh fruit juice, coz I am feeling a bit under the weather, a sore throat has set in since day 3. Have gotten better after gurgling with sea salt water....made using sea salt from Chris's kitchen. Power leH! next day not paiN!


Off we drive back home, on the way, hubby stopped by at Coles to find some distilled water, and some baby bottle detergent (FOUND out later that this is a non-existent concept in Melbourne!, no such thing!!!!). While waiting in the car with sleeping Jovann, observing a lot of customers going in and out of 2 particular takeaway shops. One selling fish and chips, one is Kirala Jap take away. So when hubby came back, suggested we get dinner from this 2 shops since they shld be good! good recomendation from me okie? The jap bento set is delicious! see....not a morsel left....as for the fish and chips, hubby said not bad but not the best....the chips are enough for a meal!
