Holiday Starts...

Woke up this morning and felt like baking....so i walked to the Coles near my house and bought the ingredients needed to bake the egg tarts....it came out well even though its my first time making them....the crust is a little thick though....but the custard is very good....my sister's friends tried and said its different from the hong kong style egg tart but but its nice....

Later in the morning, my sister drove to Nan Tien Temple in Woollongong...its somehow different from the temple i have been to last time....this temple is very well maintained and it is very clean...not to mention the fresh air....
There are lots of statue here....some of them cute and some of them symbolize the ancient myth...



Then we went for lunch in Berry....had pasta and then went to the chocolate shop to buy chocolate....lots of people purposely drive here to buy the chocolate cause its hand made and its nice.....not to mention EXPENSIVE as well....a piece is 80 cents (AUD currency)

Then we went to Blowhole....its one of the tourist places in Sydney.....its 40 minutes from Woollongong....they call it the blowhole because the wind blows the water waves and it shoots up like a fountain....its like a natural fountain...and the scenery there is very nice...

Then we drove to the city to eat dinner at this chinese restaurant...the food was nice...we ordered this Fired Sweet Pepper Pork Ribs....the dish really came out from the kitchen on fire....well i don't actually expect to see this kind of thing in a normal restaurant....
What interested my was the dessert....look at the picture below....can you believe that this egg is the dessert....its actually white jelly with a rockmelon center....very nice....

After dinner, my sister. her friend and i went to sing karaoke...its a long weekend because today is the Queen's birthday....in fact its lucky for us to actually find a room....we called Red Box and another karaoke....all the rooms are booked till 12 and 1 am....hahaha....the karaoke here is a open even later than clubs....its open till4.30 in the morning.....
