On the 2nd May, I had a break through meal of my life in Sydney. Robbert suggested that all work and no play make me dull. So he decided to bring us out for a dinner at a beautiful Lebanese Restaurant at Surry Hill. The whole ambiance of the restaurant is so cozy and authentic. It's a great place to hang out with friends. We had cushion seats at the 2nd level of the restaurant. The 1st dish that was served is Hommus, chickpea, Salsa salad and Lebanese bread. Hommus with Salsa salad and bread is such a great combination. Salsa Salad is light balancing the taste of the earthy hommus dip. Then we had some deep fried vegetarian dishes with chicken and lamb skews. Nevertheless the main dishes were delicious and filling. The highlight of the dinner was the small glass of Lebanese coffee with some desserts. One of the desserts that i simply can't forget is their specialty Baklava. It is a Mediterranean dessert made with Phyllo dough, nuts, butter, and sugar. After baking to perfection, sweet syrup is immediately poured over the pieces allowing the syrup to be absorbed into the layers. Although I don't fancy sweet stuff a lot, I love this dessert. It neutralized the taste of the strong coffee. This will be the 1st and definitely not the last time I will be patronizing this restaurant!
Great earthy food!
A nice picture taken by Yihao. It seems to tell a story but NO! We were just waiting for traffic light.
We chance upon a beautiful house. I love the colours and the design of it. It's so happy and cheerful.

On the 3rd May, we decided to make a trip to Spotlight after multiple requests from me. It was quite a distance of walk as we were trying to save money by not taking any public transport. We stopped by at times to look at the different shops and took pictures along the way. Who says that one can't be happy without money. Look! a simple smoothie from 7-11 is enough to drive us go nuts. End of the day, we managed to find the spotlight but i didn't buy anything from there as it's not exactly cheap and worth the money. I concluded that it's not worth going the extra miles. Anyway it's was a fun day and we ended up buying necessities.
