First up, brunch at a Gloria Jeans Cafe. My dad too so many pictures that even though I'm a self-proclaimed camera-whore, my dad was the ultimate paparazzi for this trip. I can't wait to get the photos as soon as he can send them to me.
Then I took them to Sydney Fish Market. We had lobsters, calamares, mussels, bbq octopus and barramundi fish. It was a seafood fest.
After a heavy lunch, we walked around Surry Hills. My mom being a cafe owner herself, was really in awe of the coffee culture here in Sydney. I was surprised to see only a handful of Starbucks here. Most of them are homegrown cafes that serve really good coffee. My mom who never goes a day without coffee and knows her blend well, loved every cafe we went to. Me, on the other hand, I love my coffee cold and my tea hot :) But at this cafe (can't remember the name), the caramel cake was so good!
We then had dinner at the Philippine Consul General's heritage home for dinner. She's very good friends with my mom and it was great to see her at home.
And last but not the least, after dinner and feeling very full, my parents asked me to take them to a pub for some drinks. That's one thing I love about them. They're fun to be with and can drink more than me :) They treat me and my sister fairly and they can act like our friends too. I had a vodka mojito, my mom had red wine and my dad had a schooner (glass of Australian lager). We had nachos as well :) Sydney should really have more bar food otherwise known as pulutan :)
It was a great day. I just wished Hailey and Sidelle were here too!
