Authentic Bites Dumpling House

A few weekends ago, I took my family to Authentic Bites Dumpling House along Newcastle Street in Northbridge. Since my dad heard about this place, he really wanted to try it out. I love dumplings and would not pass up a chance to go back. It was actually my second time at this dumpling house. Service generally isn’t the forte of most Asian restaurants and Authentic Bites was no different. The food was pretty good but it’s very much in-and-out kind of service. The dishes however are reasonably priced, which makes for a economical meal.

Lunch at Finlay & Son No 917

Finlay & Son no 917 is a hip little cafe located along Beaufort Street in Inglewood. I liked the fact that it was further up away from the hustle and bustle of Mt Lawley. It meant the crowds were thinner and there were plenty of street parking. I met up with a couple of friends on a Sunday for lunch. Given the hot Perth weather, a scorcher at 38 degrees that day, we opted to sit inside in the aircon.

The Rocks Walking Tour

After spending the afternoon on foot, we popped into the Belgium Beer Cafe in The Rocks for a break and snack. Then it was onto the evening walking tour of The Rocks. This walking tour delved deeper into the history of The Rocks, the site of Australia’s first European settlement. We walked through dark laneways. Listened to stories of the various pubs and historical buildings in the area. Our guide Ross, who is also the owner founder of IM FREE walking tours, was entertaining and gave the stories a sense of fun and intrigue. Stories included Australia’s largest bank robbery, the first hanging and the plague in Sydney.

Walking Around Sydney CBD

Continuing on my Sydney photo series. After my morning exploration of Sydney’s Hyde Park and St Mary’s Cathedral, I continued my walk towards the Sydney’s CBD. As it was a Sunday in the city, the city was packed with shoppers, buskers and tourists. I dropped by Gumption for a coffee in The Strand arcade. If I had more time, the streets of Sydney would be the perfect place to be doing some street photography.

Sydney’s Hyde Park and St Mary’s Cathedral

Sydney is Australia’s most famous and iconic city. Back in September last year, I made my first trip to Sydney. I spent a week exploring some of Sydney most popular tourist attractions, eating delicious food and taking a lot of photos. My good friend Mike, a Sydney local, kindly took out some time out of his busy week to play tourist guide. He took us down to Canberra for a day and then to the Blue Mountains on another day. This will the first post of many for my Sydney photo series.
