Back to Outpost Restaurant - I had to try the pork belly again!

I must admit...


I'm not the risk-taking type... in fact when it comes to food - I'm risk-adverse.


Once I found a restaurant that serves really good food... I tend to keep going back for more.


About a month ago, my family chance on this restaurant, my sister ordered pork belly - I took a few bites. It was the best pork belly I've tried. Fancy finding a restaurant of such quality in the middle of Gippsland (for those not living in Melbourne, it's a rural region part of Victoria about 1-2 hour's drive from the city).  Now I am back for more - not sharing this time! I've a whole plate of pork belly to myself. The quality is still good - except I wish the chef did not pour the gravy over the crispy skin.


Also, this time, I brought my tripod - set it up and took these shots.

Polly Woodside

Part of the reason why I enjoy visiting Southbank is because you tend to find something interesting every time you turn a corner. Polly Woodside is now a tourist attraction - you'll have to pay to go onboard. Observing from a distance is completely free! Ah nice!


Flinders Street Melbourne

Walking down Flinders Street - I thought it is simply wonderful that there is a bit of "history" retained in every modern city. These walls are true tell-tale signs of what the city has endured through the passage of time.

Jacky Cheung - part 2

Jacky Cheung in Concert

Ok, first of all... I have some personal opinion to express re planning capabilities of the people who build Hisense Arena. One would imagine that if you build an indoor stadium with a sitting capacity of ~20,000 to 30,000, you would probably build a carpark big enough to match. Nope - there was no carpark near Hisense that can provide sufficient space for a capacity crowd. I mean seriously!


Glad I finally got that out of me. 


Now onto the concert, just some "distanced" observation since I am seated really really far away. (1) Jacky seems a little un-interactive... would have liked a bit more interaction with the crowd. (2) Crowd seems a bit reserved... there isn't the wild & dancy type around, so we sat down the whole night. (3) I still prefer Jacky's old numbers. (4) Pay the extra $50 & sit right in front!
