Just got back from Sydney, S, D and I had a lovely time, eating our way through 'Yum Cha' in Chinatown, Vietnamese for dinner (Vietking) and breaky in a renovated post office in Marrickville. Not to mention the gelato on King Street and the freshly made, soft green pandanus cake from a little old lady in Marrickville. Thanks S and D I had a wonderful time.
