TRAVEL : Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne

"Also known affectionately as 'Vic Market' or 'Queen Vic', the Queen Victoria Market has been the heart and soul of Melbourne for more than a century.

A historic landmark spread over two city blocks, it's a vibrant and bustling inner-city Market where you can shop for everything from Australian fruit and vegetables, and local ind imported gourmet foods, to cosmetics, clothing and souvenirs."

QueenVictoriaMarket

Pengalaman yang menyenangkan, weekend away bareng TiffanyJessica dan beberapa sahabat dari Jakarta, Adelaide dan Melbourne :-) Jalan-jalan santai sesuka hati, untungnya anak-anak pun ikut menikmati :-)

Ke Queen Victoria Market sebenernya terpacu dengan adanya foto-foto yang beredar selama beberapa bulan ini di Path oleh sahabat-sahabat Melbournian. Mulai dari sayur mayur sampai pada cronuts yang sangat menggiurkan.

Kebetulan dari Hotel Kami, jalan masuk yang paling deket yaitu bagian Deli.. Waduh, baru masuk udah disuguhin pemandangan menggoda..

Mascot Corner Cafe

Tiffany's Birthday Breakfast tahun ini agak unik, bangun jam 5.30 pagi (di hari ulang tahun loh ya..) kemudian siap-siap dalam waktu (hanya) setengah jam dan jam 6 tepat kita pun meluncur menuju Mascot Corner Cafe.

Apa sih uniknya Mascot Corner Cafe ini? Sampe mesti bela-belain bangun subuh?

Yang unik yaitu jadwal terbang ke Melbourne-nya Jake yang bertepatan dengan ultah Tiffany :-) Pilihan pun jatuh ke daerah yang cukup dekat dengan airport.

Hmm Okay, waktunya jujur..

Udah kira-kira 5-6 tahun ini saya suka bener nonton drama korea, dimulai dari Boys Before Flowers (yang sampe sekarang pun masih suka ditonton ulang)..

Drama korea itu patut diacungi jempol, secara ngga sengaja kita para penontonnya yang notabene banyakan di luar Korea diajak mengenal adat bangsa korea. Mulai dari bahasa sampai pada makanannya. 

Nah, selain Kimchi.. Fried Chicken selalu ada di drama-drama korea, dan biasanya mereka makannya  sambil minum beer.
