Visit to Sydney

Just got back from a 2 week business trip to Sydney. Never been so glad to be home.. Sydney is definitely a 'boring' place for me. Shop closes early except for Thur. there is nothing to do unless you are into pubbing and clubbing...

The matter was make worse as I was travelling with my boss and force to stay at a 'ulu' place call Manly... Well to Sydneysiders this is a very nice place to relax and of course SURFING. Yes it had a nice beach to it but too bad I don't swim and surf. To make things worse it is winter now and not so much activity going on in Manly.

Manly Beach

I am not going to talk about what I do at work but what I did to pass my time. This is not my first trip to Sydney so I have done all the Opera House, Harbour cruise etc. I did some stuff that I have not done on my last trip years back..

I pay a visit to this place

Tarongga Zoo

Manage to visit some cute friends from Australia like the kangaroo, Tasmania devil, koala etc.

Me and the cute joey

After my trip to the zoo and have fun with some of the cuties there.. That night it self I had this for dinner... How Ironic.

Roo Steak

Another interesting place in Sydney which I think is the best place and it is a place that you should not miss if you visit Sydney, Blue Mountain. Sad to say I did not spend too much time there because I was there only for a day trip and we started our journey late in the morning. By the time we reach there is was already afternoon.

Three sister at Echo Point, Blue Mountain

Why I like the Blue Mountain so much it is because of the Beautiful scenery and also the weather at this time of the year which is winter... It was like 4 degrees when I was there. I would recommend to spend at least 2-3 days in Blue Mountain.. There is a lot of interesting and nice hiking trail up there.

Was really really glad to be back after 2 weeks of steak, lamb and all the western food that I had.. I have been missing the local Malaysian food like our "Tai Chao" and all the nice food in Penang and Ipoh.

Crab

Had a very interesting meal lasy night.... What I had was something of a mix between spider + Crab

Spider Crab

Had this fellow cook in 3 ways

The Legs were cut and cook "Chiu Yim Style"

The roe were steam in egg, mushroom and some chinese cooking wine

The balance of the meat cook in Superior Stock (Seong Tong)

My verdict is that compare to the lobster I will definetely go for the lobster which taste better and more value for money...

However from my previous experience with the King Crab the Spider Crab taste more or less the same...
