Rocking Pancakes!

5/8/07- Paddy's Market at Flemington, Pancakes on the Rocks, Botanical Gardens

Gotta make use of every weekend here to explore parts of Sydney and of course, EATTTT good food! The main part of the itenary is eating the ROCKING pancakes at the ROCKS!

Stopped by for some morning shopping at Flemington's on a nice and bright sunday morning. Bought cheap shower foam from here! (Toiletries here are like damn ex lah, limited variety too)

Then we trottted down excitedly to the Rocks and found our beloved restaurant! Well, the queue was long but that did not dampen the spirits of the hungry ghosts. We did what we do best when we wanna entertain ourselves- take photos! We also kept staring through the glass windows and look at what the people inside were eating- must survey what's popular and good mah.

Here's the leader of the hungry ghost pack- she wana chomp down the signboard as well!! This pic reminded us of Zhen Ru...look like right?? haha...we even tried to bluff Elain (who was at the toilet when we took the photo) that we met Zhen Ru..haha.

Here's the menu with pictures that can make you drool a bucket! The dessert section looks really good and we were so tempted to skip the mains. After much discussion, we finally decided to share 3 mains and 2 desserts (BEWARE: ensure that tissue is nearby in case of drooling):

This is the Mexicana Crepe! The filling was really tasty but found the crepe to be slightly soggy and oily.

Next came the Potato Au Gratin (layman term: potato pancake). This was good! Like the grilled pineapple and banana which came with it.

And the Tandoori Pizza with chutney, yoghurt, cashew nuts- nice, exoctic Indian taste!

Here's my fav of the day! Black Forest pancakes- devilish chocolatey pancakes with rich chucks of real cherrys and a scoop of chocolate ice-cream! - Yummylicious!

This one is really pretty too- Strawberry and cream! But the strawberry syrup was a tad too sweet for my liking. Loved the strawberries though!

Now you see it......

......now you don't! Yup, the hungry ghosts gobbled down the pancakes and our plates were all like this: spotless clean- we did not even spare the sauce and syrups!

The happy and very fulfilled not-so-hungry-anymore-ghosts! Although the price was slightly steep, it was overall a good meal which we feel we should indulge in every now and then. We are gona scrimp and save to have a good meal once a month. Think next month we will have dim sum at Chinatown!

Since the weather was nice and sunny, we stopped by circular quay to take some photos again...

Check this funny donkey out! Apparently there is a man on all fours inside the donkey suit..hahaha. Imagine positioning like that for hours just to earn money!! Chronic backpain ah..

Went to walk walk at botanical gardens cos we were really full..the gardens in the city was really pretty! Saw families and friends having picnic on grass patches again- they even have nice traditional picnic baskets! Wana picnic there with my sarong next time...

Alright, as you can see, the main highlight of the trip to town was the pancakes which ROCKED me! hahaha.. Went to Canberra on Sat, will try to upload the photos soon! Take care everyone =)
