From uni, our aim was to go to the fish market. So off we go heading towards the city. If anyone has ever been to the city you would know all the twists and turns and split roads around. So, driving along, it was too late before we realised we were on the harbour bridge!! Desperately trying to get off we took the first exit but ended up near Lavender Bay. Got a beautiful vantage point of the Harbour Bridge but it wasn't quite the place we were after. Street directory time. Decided to play it safe and headed back to city south. Eventual destination was reached FINALLY!! By that time, everyone was starving esp. since some have not even had breakfast and it was past noon!! Yay, time to celebrate!!
First stop was to find our friend, the salmon. Made a couple of stops but ended up buying it at Christos, along with some really nice seaweed. Our next dilemma was deciding what place to get the seafood platter and which oysters to get. Settled on the shop with the most people for the platter and the Coffin Bay oysters. I reckon that's a great name to put people off - don't know whether if that means people will end up in coffins if they eat too much of them but let's not go there!
Since it was lunch time by the time we got all our food, finding a place to eat was extremely difficult! Second lucky or shall we say, unlucky! Okay, sitting near some smokers were not that bad cause they eventually left. We enjoyed the first 10 minutes of the food..until.....whooosh, duck, whoosh..A flock of seagulls scooped and flew to the table diagonal to us since some people left with the food on the table. Talk about littering or not cleaning after themselves!! First 5 mins was okay except F kept glancing behind.
During that time, F used her culinary skills to cut sashami slices...good effort with a steak knife! But when she let her guard down about the sesagulls, one of them decided to befriend F and a couple drops of who knows what landed on?? or very close to her and the sashami. I swear those seagulls knew what they were doing! Before I thought nicely of seagull but after today I believe they are VERY SCHEMING animals!!
Cause when all the attention was focus on F cleaning..hmm....one of the seagulls scooped with its beak the largest piece of uncut salmon!!! WHAT A PIG!!!!! WASTE OF GOOD FOOD!!! Our obvious reaction was 'AHHHHHHH'!!!!!!!!!....We decided to run for our lives before they had any other cunning plans up their sleeves. One ATTACK was enough for the day!!
After our adventurous encounter with the evil seagulls we headed off to Max Brenner at Double Bay. Yummmm...we drew on our chemistry skills and began mixing a number of different chocolates. No explosions, just resulted in some very rich chocolate! Also first time trying some orchid oil flowered chocolate. Guess it was something different but I prefer the traditional type! Strawberry dipped in choc was my personal best!! The guy recommended souffle but we gave that a miss. I seriously forgot the name of the stuff we had...yup short memory
We were going to walk off some calories after but because there was seafood in the boot of the car..yeah. And I was part of the culprit
sorry!! next time next time!! Anyways, thanks for the lift home!!That's the end of one GREAT FUN day!!! Hope you guys all had as much fun!! Too bad no one had a camera though...
