Mee pok ah!

Finally got to try the bak chor mee at Singapore Chom Chom (188 Bourke St, MEL) :D For A$9.50 a bowl, the famous SG dish looked authentic - meepok, braised mushrooms, meatballs, fishcake, beansprouts, lettuce, pork mince and even... pork liver!! But there was an egg on the side and the taste was a little too light for me... probably healthy even ;) Oh well, toss in a few spoonfuls of black vinegar and it felt like I was back home at Food Republic!

Ballarat :)

Margie and I made our way to Ballarat, Victoria's largest inland city (about 1.5 hours west of MEL) during the week. Ballarat is famous for it's gold rush history, as seen in the period theme park, Sovereign Hill. We spent the night at this picturesque city at the Mercure and also indulged in their Goldfield's Spa Package :)

Before leaving for MEL, we drove to the next town called Buninyong and had morning tea at this flower shop/cute cafe called the "Cupcake Cafe".

Everything from the furniture to the decor and crockery has a pink and cupcake theme!

Our morning tea of hot choc, lemon tart and freshly baked cupcake... YUM!

Their Botanic Gardens isn't very big but was full of beautiful and bright tulips :)

Colourful poppy flowers that herald spring's arrival!
