Bee yoo tee fool

Last night, Kim and I were in the city visitng Clem's Mamak stall in Chinatown. Golly you should have seen the queue! Roti telur, roti kosong, satay and teh ais...that was all in their simple menu but they needed a 7-8 man team to keep the passers-by coming back for more. We were merely there for support and also to try out their fare. Have to say it scored pretty well on my tastebuds, just dont compare the pricing to our RM 1.20 roti telur back home. Ouch!!

After mamak we headed over to Darling Harbour, a treat for the senses. Beautiful view, fresh crisp air, ignore annoying seagulls, people just chilling out and unwinding a hectic Friday away. Here's a spoiler of what we had:

Harbourside view of the city....check!


City view from Pyrmont Harbourside.....check!

After that, we headed to Star city hotel & casino. Considering Vegas is still fresh in my mind, you would expect this to pale in comparison. Laine's casino rating: Top Genting by leaps, less spectacular than Venetian. Although there are a few things I like about it. 1. There was a large non-smoking section where people actually obey. 2. Tons of 1 cent slot machines! yippee! Mom & Dad are sure to love this place.

Kim & Ernest have been telling me of this place, reputedly a fav. spot for them. The view was supposed to be undeniably spectacular. With no expectations, on the way home, we went to McMahon's Point , hidden in a street corner, almost hiding from the city that surrounds it, when suddenly.........

TADA!!!!!!!!!!!!....the most perfect view in all of Sydney. Must remember to inhale and exhale.

Wow, "Ta ke" and I think Sydney is beautiful. We can't wait to come and visit. Maybe after the business craziness subside a bit lah.
