PS: Some of the photos had captions as they are contributed by heather from her snapchat. PPS: This is a picture heavy post. Since we were not early risers, we usually wake around 10am and set off for early lunch. Its been a long time since me and heather had any Din Tai Fung, which was just a short distance from our lodging. The queue was long and we waited about 30mins before we got a seat. As per all other Din Tai Fung's the concept and menu is roughly the same, however, the dishes took super long before it was served, and it was also pricer than Sg or Tw's branches. " Din Tai Fung (Sydney) After lunch, while finding our way to The Rocks Market, we passed by the town hall as well, its a great spot to take photos with all the buildings around. The rocks market is an open air market that is near the Sydney CBD, beside the Harbour bridge. The market is open from 10am -5pm on the weekends, making it a great spot to have a chill day out to take a walk after brunch. The stalls are lined along the streets, with some generic stalls that could be seen from the various markets across Australia, as well as stalls that sell home made items unique to this market. The stalls vary from week to week, so each visit is different. If you don't have the weekends to spare, they are also open on Fridays, with stalls selling fresh produce, breakkie and more. " The Rocks Market After walking round the market, we settled down for some tea and a cuppa at the famous and highly recommended Tea cosy, located in the same area. The Tea Cosy, is housed in a heritage listed building, serving tea and freshly baked scones. The menu is simple with classic tea items and beverages. The place was packed when we got there and waited for a bit before we got a table. The place had a rustic feel to it, with baskets of yarn and knitting needles on the table for guest to have a go at knitting while waiting. The tea pots are served with a knitted pot warmer (those are for sale as well). We ordered a tray of scones for the 3 of us, and opted for a Irish hazelnut latte for myself. The scones were absolutely yummy with cream and jam of your choice , a definite to order for me. " The tea cosy After tea, we took a walk to the Circular quay. The Circular quay is a harbour on the edge of Sydney CBD, a short walk from the city which gives us a chance to explore as well. The walk way is filled with seats for when one is tired. One of the main attractions of Australia, the Opera House is situated in the area, 9 minutes from the main entrance of the harbour. Another main attraction would be Sydney's Harbour bridge, there are many who would climb up the bridge and view Sydney from the top, but we were not as courageous. It got dark before we know it. As our friends were in town for as well, we met up for dinner at the famous Thai restaurant, Chat Thai. It was really packed and we waited for about 40minutes before we got a seat, it was truly authentic. We tried the insta - famous Aqua S for dessert, that was recommended by many of friends when i was going to visit Sydney. Aqua S has soft serve in unique flavours that are served in pretty pastel colours. As we felt that the staff won't very nice, we only made 1 order to share. We got the sea salt and blueberry flavour, with cotton candy, small balls of mochi, and a roasted marshmallow. The soft serve melted very fast, and it kind of got a bit messy as you try to eat it, though it looks really pretty in photos. As flavours are seasonal, each visit might be a surprise for you. " Chat Thai Xoxo,
