A truly amazing day.

This morning, we were supposed to go to Pyrmont Market (which is a monthly event) but, alas!, both of us overslept. haha. I woke up at 9am, Stella at 10am, and Pyrmont closes at 11am. What is the point of rushing down to Pyrmont right? With the abilities of Sydney transport, we'll probably be there for the closing of the market. Anyway, it doesn't matter. We had something much more fun than Pyrmont market. We went food hunting. ^^

#1 food hunt: 85 degree celsius. Their cakes look so appealing from the display stand that we were lured into it. Too bad the cakes are -_-".
Hokkaido strawberry shortcake, my foot. Taste dry and bland and cheap. $3.60.
Napoleon that looks like a swiss roll. The puff pastry inside is just too limp and flaccid. Plus, who uses swiss roll material for napoleon? The cream too, it is just sweetened whipped cream. I was so cheated. $3.60.
Cafe latte. Was average. $3.20.
On our way to Glebe street, we stumbled upon this petit little boulagerie and patisserie. They have such good gems. This little shop was packed! with people. We decided to have an organic cola. Best cola I have ever tasted. It makes coca-cola and pepsi taste like medicine. This organic cola is in fact made from the real cola nut in New Zealand. Like super-wow. $4.00.
Yup, that is the bakery. They have loads of sourdough.
We also settled for 2 strawberry creme brulee tart. Absolute delicious. $4.40 each. Bit pricey though.


We walked and walked and we finally made it to Glebe Point Street. :D





We were so lucky! We missed the Pyrmont market and here is another market waiting for us. It turns out that there is a weekend market here every Saturday. They sell some amazing stuff.

Once you enter the market, on your immediate right, you'll see this gypsy owned clothes stall. The lady design her own clothes and get helpers to help her make it. I like her concept. It's like putting scraps into a decent piece of clothing. I like it. Very pro-environment. :)
And, ah.., I blew $60.00 on this stall. haha.This is absolutely delicious too, albeit a little too much salt. Turkish Gozleme with chilli beef. Wow. $9.00.


Opposite the market, there is the famous Sappho Books. They sell books and cafe. Beautiful little area. They have a huge collection of old scores and music materials.

Next to Sappho books is San Churro, top quality spanish chocolates. As much as we'd like to, we didn't try out the chocos. Our stomach is filled with gozleme.


Walk further down the street, you'll come across this cute organic shop. They have all sorts of gadgets that can help to save our planet. For example, turn-your-rubbish-into-fertiliser bin and store-sunlight jar.



Happy, sha-la-la-la. We are waiting for the bus, sha-la-la-la. The bus takes forever, sha-la-la-la.
The stuff which my wallet bled for. Fifteen dollars undies, thirty dollars shirt (bought at the gypsy lady stall) and thirteen dollars-ninety cents plantable cards!


At 6pm, we promptly went to Cynthia's house for dinner. She is so nice! She invited us to try out some Brazilian cuisine. Therefore, from left, we have pastels and cheese breads. Delicious~!

Corn cake with orange syrup and a pie that Cynthia just made up.


And the unbelievably sweeeet degeiiero (I hope I spelt it right). Made from condensed milk and cocoa powder. Two of them and I am killed for the day.


After all the dinner stuff, we do what all girls do, we play dress up. :D That is me in Cynthia's dress. She has many beautiful things from Brazil. Truly amazing. And I liiiike her dress!
Stella's turn at dress-up. Cynthia did the make-up, I did the hair. Stella look so good. I am so proud of myself!
Cynthia, she taught me alot today. Alot. Thank you!
End.
