ADELAIDE TRIP 16042006 - 20042006Day 1 16042006JQ366 arrived adelaide at 1400 at the new Adelaide Airport.
berenice n eisen picked me up n we headed off to Glenelg for a late lunch at Fasta Pasta...

the pasta we had

n the oysters they had it was pretty cheap .. n it was gd!


n we saw dolphins too! apparently berenice tried to take pictures of them... but... here's wat she got:

dinner was at chinatown... n our after-dinner-entertainment was of course Sky City (the casino).. haha.. berenice n i tried our luck at the roulette table... not very lucky tt night... but eisen helped us recoupe our loss at the blackjack table... so we each walked away with a $17.50 winning.
Day 2 17042006it's a public holiday.. shops are all closed n weather isn't on our side too... it was a really rainy rainy day! so.. we stayed home the whole day... n watched 10 episodes of "Dream of Colours".. for ur information...tt's approx 10 hrs.. haha

tt's our dinner! chef: miss berenice chan
from left to right: "chapalang" chicken wings, charsiew, mixed vegetables
for recipes... pls refer to berenice's blog
Day 3 18042006lunch or shld i say brunch.. at taiwanese restaurant "thea".. wasn't tt fantastic.. just sth different tt i can't get in melbourne n it's quite overpriced...
visited the dental sch...cos bern needed to collect sth... the place looks kinda "dodgy" .. haha... as compared to the dental hospital in melb.. n we made a trip to marion shopping centre... it's one of those big shopping centres... yea.. it's the shopping centre i went to during my 1st trip to adelaide... it seems different now.... u don't get tt "wow... big shopping centre" feeling anymore..
highlight of the day was dinner at the korean restaurant SEOUL... it was really yummY!

tadah! doesn't the pictures just make u drool... haha.. here's wat we had.. bulgogi.. marinated pork in spicy sauce n bibimbap! if u ever make a trip to adelaide.. u have to go n try this! *winkz*

see how berenice just can't wait to tuck in? haha..
n then... dessert at COCOLAT... nice choc cakes... yumm!

tt's harey hazelnut on the left.. n gelati on the right... (flavours: watermelon which tasted a little weird.. lemon which was the best out of the others.. n the 3rd one.. erm.. can't remember wat it was.. hehe)
feeling lucky tt evening, we made our 2nd trip back to the casino in 3 days... too lazy for all the details.. but to summarise.. bern n i got an extra $50 cash each.. while eisen won $305..
Day 4 19042006
a place tt u can't miss if u're in adelaide... rundle mall... just another bourke st mall...
so it was soon before we got sick of the city n made a short trip to chinatown to get ingredients for our dessert of the day.... rockmelon sago!
one of the very few proper western dinner i've had in australia (yes..i know.. after so many years..) THE LION'S HOTEL

tt's the steak tt i had... medium well... nice! but a little too big for me.. hehe

nice ambience...
returning back home for our home-made rockmelon sago!

ok.. i agree it looks a bit weird here.. haha.. but it tastes good! n to those who've tried before.. it isn't bitter this time round!
Day 5 20042006
big breaky at a cafe at Norwood ... farewell breakfast.. haha..
n off to the airport!
JQ367 departed adelaide airport at 1400..

time to say goodbye.....
tt concluded my stay in adelaide... as u can see.. i look like a zombie in tt photo.. haha... which means.. lack of sleep!! all in all.. it was a wonderful trip! thanks to the 2 hosts again.. hehe...
