Day 5 started with breakfast at Hardware Societe. We were there at approx 9+am and the cafe was already bustling! Thank god we did not wait long for a table hehe.
#ootd while waiting for our table
Finally seated!
Dearie had scrambled eggs. AGAIN! with smoked salmon. There's pancakes underneath it too. Definitely wholesome.
Lobster Benedict for me! It was so yummy and they were really generous with the lobster chunks! #onlycaneatlobstersforbreakfastoverseas lol
Breakfast was super duper yummy for us despite the steep prices but we forgave ourselves since its vacation! Thereafter, we headed for Queen Victoria Market with happy bellies.
Chanced upon a florist with really pretty flowers along the way.
Queen Victoria Market
Our main purpose of going there was to get some souveniors back home. QVM is a huge market which sells a variety of stuffs such as clothing, food, accessories, souveniors, hardwares, glasswares and even the daily produce. I'm sure we did not complete browsing the entire space!
After we are done shopping for souveniors, we rested our legs at the cafe within the market. Dearie bought a dozen oysters for himself. See his excited face lol.
Horse carriages along the street
Some grand architecture which we saw as well. Really in awe of the details.
We had so much western food that we were starting to miss our typical asian food. So we start googling for decent Thai food in the vicinity and settled our lunch in an eatery located within a mall.
Tom yum soup, phad thai and pork basil rice never tasted so good lol. The chysanthemum drink sums everything up hehe.
More photos with Flinders Street Station as we made our way to Bourke Street, Colin street, Emporium and the various malls for some shopping!
Haigh's Chocolates which we bought a tiny pack to share. I'm definitely not a chocolate lover but they taste good :)
Rested our legs at a cafe and had tea as well. Mocha and Cappuccino with a slice of Lamington cake to share. Lamington cake is an Australian dessert which is basically a sponge cake, often layered with jam within, coated with an outer layer of chocolate sauce and rolled in coconut flakes.
Despite the hype, it tasted pretty normal to us.
Street snaps
In the late afternoon, we headed to DFO South Wharf for some outlet shopping. They have brands like Nike, Adidas, Kate Spade, Michael Kors and the likes. Its just another massive space with everything under one roof.
This view greeted us by the time we are done with our shopping haha.
Took the bus back to cbd! So vintage looking.
Pardon the bad photo!
What a huge T&C shopfront!
We settled our dinner at a simple Japanese restaurant cause we still need more asian food haha.
Salmon everything for me!
Curry Katsu for baby. But we shared towards the end la hehe.
Back to our hotel and that's our loots from Melbourne.
Scored 2 Pandora charms - the sydney opera house and a blue murano charm for AUD$50 each! That's $40 cheaper than Sg. Also bought a light blue kate spade card holder for AUD$89 which was fairly cheap from the brand.
Dearie scored a pair of black jeans from G Star Raw for $220 which is $100+ cheaper than Sg! And a Nike kicks which he got for AUD$68 in the outlet mall. So happy with our new buys!
Also bought nougats, candle holders, some magnets, melbourne tee shirts and a snow globe from Eureka Skydeck.
And this sort of marks the end of Melbourne travelogues! Sydney up next woohoo!
