St Kilda Adventure Park - Adelaide

Not the first time going to St Kilda Adventure Park, a park for both adults and children. Every time we do have some fun, although it is not big. I love the park is not because of the 'adventures' that we can play with, not about the slides, the swings or the see-saw, but the environment there. As you know, I love taking pictures, thanks for iPhone and the apps, things become more easy and convenience because of the invention of smartphone. Although I still like to carry my camera around, I cannot edit the pictures straight away. AND it is HEAVY, I do not want to bring it around all the time. Environment in St Kilda is simple, but beautiful. Especially when you reach there by the time of sunset, as it is just by the sea and so peaceful there, the sun is close to the horizon, everything become romantic. 

I like taking backlight photos. There are much more for you to think and create while you cannot see the original colour or the actual expression of your 'model'. Except I cannot drive and it is far away from where I live, I would like to go there always, sit there and enjoy the day. Plug in my headphone, listening to some soft music and do some reading and photo taking, what an enjoyable life one could have. 

Love,

Sunday activity - Rymill Park & Bracegirdle

Nice Sunday afternoon to enjoy ourselves in the park. (though is a bit windy)

On Saturday night, while we were preparing for our Sunday BBQ in the park, 

I suddenly recognised that our family were always ALWAYS preparing food for parties.

Seems like every week, at least a day / night, we must be preparing something big.

Our house is a, I so-called, "Party house" lol

Fancy a party? Just walk in!! <--- Sounds good, huh? I wish I have some neighbourhood like this.

( I should post the preparation here, but currently my iPad is occupied by my lovely friend, so I can only upload those from my phone.)

On Sunday, we had found the best position for BBQ!! Just right in front of the lake. 

While enjoying the process of BBQ ( i didn't actually do the BBQ but eat), we took lots of pictures there with that  beautiful environment. We saw kids rowing boats on the lake as well. 

To our surprise, actually lucky for us, we witnessed a wedding which was just right opposite to us, on the other side of the lake. How lovely it is. 

{ yumyumyum...... lamb!!! }

{ Everyone is waiting for those delicious food in front of the grill }

{ Lots of food!!! Lamb.Beef. Chicken.Salad////// }

{ The family were enjoying the photo-shooting section }

{ Hi / Our cameraman of the day }

{ I love this pic!!the natural light brighten everything, isn't it? }

{ OMG//// This must be the new attraction on Rundle Mall!! By the way, they even make those seagulls squeak!!! So real!!}

After City Tour (for the girls) and my Church service, we went home for dinner.
Thanks for the Entertainment book, we treated ourselves some desserts at Bracegirdle.
Four of us, shouldn't order lots!! Otherwise, even sweet teeth couldn't bare (wink~*)

We had hot white chocolate!! In my very honest opinion, it is not sweet at all. It tasted a bit like milk but sweet one. But I kinda like it, I am not really like VERY sweet things. In fact, I love dark chocolate more, but just this time, I love this White Chocolate Drink. 

Belgian Waffle is just okay for me. On the waffle, there are some sugar rocks and they look like my fallen-out teeth!! Except that I quite like the softness / texture of the waffle. Eating it with the strawberries and ice cream, dipping it into the chocolate, Oh yummmmmm :) 

The ice cream fondue was the most wanted plate to us!! Self-served ice cream set as I will say hahahaha....
I actually expected they provide, you know the little stove which have to light up the candle underneath in order to melt the chocolate above. But anyway, it's still a good dessert. We have fun in having this self- served ice cream. Once is enough though. 

{ With my ladies ~* } - I think the lady who was sitting at the back, crossing her arm was the FOCUS of the photo lol   She caught my attention!!!

We had a good day. 

And tired. 

How do you usually enjoy your Sunday?

How do we celebrate Anzac Day?

How do you celebrate / fully utilized last week's ANZAC DAY holiday?

I don't know you but I believe you can guess mine!!

BINGO!!! We had SALMON hotpot at home. 

Since my parents had bought this electrical stove to Adelaide, 

me and my family always have hotpot. 

You know it ~ Self-served, put everything in the pot and just wait, 

it is much easier than thinking what should we cook tonight. 

Therefore, we decided to have hotpot while inviting our friends to come over ALWAYS. 

First of all, I have to declare that I have no idea and never tried to have salmon in hotpot ever. 

While I heard about the idea that we were going to have SALMON hotpot, 

I was totally like "Are you kidding me?? That's SALMON, man!! Should have sashimi instead!!"

However, it turned out we had the SUPER-EVER DELICIOUS soup base.

{ We were told to put the food on the skewers }

And our chef kept saying we were having BBQ pot instead of hotpot 

{ Skillful helper helped putting the prawn on the skewers }

Did you see our main character of today? SALMON!!

We are trying to put pieces on the skewers so that we can have the BBQ pot. 

{ Everyone was helping with the preparation}

I tried to relax and do nothing but it failed.

{Started by having some Shiraz champagne } 

Luckily not all the salmon was being thrown into the hotpot, 

our chef gave us a luxury entree - Salmon Sashimi !!

They were fat enough and tasted fresh. 

Although the flavour of salmon is not as strong as those we ate from sushi shop, 

they were fine for us with this reasonable price. 

Everyone couldn't wait to have that, 

and honestly I was hungry as well. 

Totally forgot to take pictures during the process, 

plus forgot to take photos of the they-said-it's-sweet-but-I-did-not-try apple crumble. 

How did you enjoy your long weekend last week? 

Hope you have had some good moments like us:)
