Good Food Month Sydney 2014

Night Noodle Market I heard about this Night Noodle Market and I just want to see what all the fuss is about. I thought it starts at 5pm every night, but on the weekend it starts a little earlier at 4pm. We turned up at 5pm and there were a lot of people already. As the day gets darker and later, more and more people turned up and there were long queues for most stalls. I am not a fan of queues. If there is a long queue I will lose my appetite. I want my food and I want it NOW!!! The tip is getting there earlier, before the rush starts. The foods are snack sizes, and even though you don't think it's a lot of money, they are not really value for money. The costs do add up very quickly. Sometimes, psychologically you will get lost in the market and forgot that you could just cross the road and buy something with better value. The stand out of the market for me is the Hoy Pinoy skewer, chicken and pork belly. Watch out for the long line. I did queue up for

Otford to Figure of Eight Pools

This is the second time I did this walk. Last time I went on the high tide and wasn't able to get too close to the pools. This time I was determined to get a closer and better look at it. The walk started from Otford station, up a very steep path to Lady Wakehurst Drive. Then we walked along the road to the start of Cliff track, with a beautiful lookout of Wollongong and the Sea Cliff Bridge. The track begins with more climbs, which made me think maybe I had enough of this walk already. I was already tired and puffed out, and this is only the start of the walk!! Once we got to the top of the hill, the walk got easier and we walked on a fairly easy, flat path and service trail. We reached Garrawarra farm car park and turned down to the Coast Walk, declining to Burning Palms Beach.  A bit or walking on beach and rocks, we finally reached the pools. There are a few pools that looks like the figure 8. The famous figure of eight pool....

Have a bake, Have a KitKat!

Today I tried baking this specially designed Kit Kat that my friend mentioned about half a year ago. I saw them at the Asian supermarket so I bought one to try.   It is a pudding flavoured Kit Kat, and initially I didn't understand the part where you actually have to bake it yourself. I opened one and ate it straight away. Luckily you can either eat it raw like a chocolate, or baked like a biscuit.   I thought the Kit Kat looked a bit different and pale compared to the packaging, and realised I need to bake it myself.....     There are instructions on the back of the pack if you can read Japanese. Otherwise just look at the picture and guess. I think it says something along the line of... put the Kit Kat onto a baking tray and bake them for 2-2.5 minues, or until the surface start to change into a golden brownish colour. I missed the part where they suggested to refrigerate the Kit Kat before baking for better looking outcome. The fridge picture was in blu
