G'day Queenie! Good to see you having a fabulous time in the land down under. Stinky tofu sure taste much better than it smells! Having lived in Australia for 4 years previously, it's like second home to me too (still have lots of friends/relatives there) BUT I'm partial to another city.

Looking forward to seeing your reveal!

what gorgeous photos queenie! yes, i love the BJ, but boy do i love the food photos! especially that soup with the red spices.........

Queenie · Apr 4th, 2009, 06:55 AM

Oh oh and before I go on any further, I wanna express thanks to those lovely ladies

at Hermes Sydney thread who have given me great advices on where to go and eat.

And of course to another

who took her precious time to meet up with me. THANK YOU BABE!!
It’s amazing how a great meal can all of a sudden put you in a good mood. Claude's was one of the places sydney ladies recommened. I was so excited to try and so I brought my colleague there on our very first night. The restaurant seats 45 guests.

Who would have thought that this is a restaurant? We need to press the door bell in order to get in.

Quennie thank you so much for sharing i love the photos !!

Florasun · Apr 4th, 2009, 07:09 AM

Queenie thanks so much for sharing your photos! it's so much fun to see photos of the 'everyday' things as well as the tourist spots - it makes the 'trip' seem more real. Guess I'll have to try some stinky tofu one day! Love your bag.

Queenie · Apr 4th, 2009, 07:10 AM

Sorry about the poor quality. I was nervous that the waiters will be unhappy about me snapping the food pictures and plus the fact that I don't want to use my flash in this gorgeous romantic setting.

For those who intend to visit Claude's, it is in Woollahra not the Oxford Street in Paddington.

Let's cut to the chase! The experience can be described in one word: Remarkable with a capital R!

It was wonderful dish after dish. I love every single one. But if I have to choose one (which is tough), it is the Baked Mulloway, Sorrel & Leek.

Service was extremely attentive and friendly.

Queenie · Apr 4th, 2009, 07:20 AM

By the time we had the eight dish, we were SO SO filled to the brim. If I put on the kgs I shed in the past months, it's all you Sydney ladies' fault!

You know I was kidding, I love you gals!

After 5 hours, we managed to finish the whole tasting menu and left with two happy big "baggages".

LIBRADIAMONDS · Apr 4th, 2009, 07:31 AM

You look so stylish and your Chanel bag is absolutely gorgeous! Love how you match it with your shoes....simply lovely. Btw is the cafe facing the hanging clock still there? Remembered it served wonderful Hot Chocolate/Latte during my university days.

Great thread! And I have to say I enjoyed the Chanel sneaking into the H forum!

Queenie · Apr 4th, 2009, 07:41 AM

emma4646, I never really fly in other airlines these days but yeah it never fails me.

lovely64, I was in WA for a while. And that was many many years back.

ms piggy, let me guess. It must be Melbourne! OMG, you like stinky tofu too??!!

doloresmia, that soup with the red spices is Spicy and Sour Noodle. One of my favourite food. I love anything HOT and SPICY.

LIBRADIAMONDS, if you're talking about Crossroad Cafe then yes it is still there.

kaka, Florasun and LuvBirkin, I'm happy that you like my photos too!

Lyanna Stark dear, I knew you will like my food pictures. I always think of you whenever I take food pictures these days. Can never forget your birthday thread. We need to meet soon after my trip ok?

Rose100, I am both a Chanel and Hermes fan. You must be one too?

Queenie · Apr 4th, 2009, 07:42 AM

Polaremil · Apr 4th, 2009, 07:45 AM
