Victoria Day 2 - San Churro / Hosier Lane

Assalamualaikum. G'Day Mate.

We moved to our next destination after spending sometime at Victoria State Library (here); where anganan acah² study dalam library seketul student obersi katanye included. Koh! Sungguh² kaedah anganan tiada sempadan. Free bah, hence berangan lah sampai lebam. 

27 July 2015
San Churros, QV Mall

Jalan² santai pi QV Mall. Literally located just next to the State Library.  
#1 Just a stone away from the library. This was taken on our way to the library
Because 2 of my friends got lost in finding this cafe, I searched for its exact location prior coming. Ndaklah kuasa mau menyesat-baratkan diri kami. Pengalaman orang lain mendewasakan kami juga. Besides, time is gold when we travel. Yo'oh! Korang tunggu drama 3rd Day berkaitan time is gold ni ah. 
#2 Thanks study awal (ucapan untuk diri sendiri) so ndaklah gagau mencari kedudukan San Churro ni.
We chose to sit near the window. Barulah terang dunia nampak segala pelusuk kedai. Deco ndaklah kebabom tapi oklah, melambangkan kedai jual desserts. Perlu pi kaunter to order & pay. And they will send the order to our table. Counter dia ke belakang sikit, more gloomy area. Pastu baru perasan more seats at the back. Masa ni baru dengar orang chit chat. Kelicap² macam burung semua. 
#3 Varieties of truffles at the counter. Sengaja pancing sweet tooth aku!!
Katanye chocolate inspired menu diorang ni addictive, delicious, indulgent..fuh! Memang mengundang keroncong di perut. Fortunately sedar diri. Konsep tea break ni sharing is caring; so sila jangan order untuk kesenangan perut sendiri. Only stick to what's been finalized. And yes diri sendiri pun tengah berjimat sebenarnya. Baru first day Bie oii; bawalah berzikir tenang. 
#4 Our drinks. Mine was in that pot (Teh O cuma). 
Adalah minah tu (jeling Ms H) ordered hot macchiato. Dengan kondifen because the tasty macchiato she had in Namiseom still linger in her taste bud. Konon mau mengulang kesedapan itu. 

Alas, hanyalah kenangan macchiato sedap Namiseom. Tulah ndak pandai menanya tuan punya macchiato. Last time in Namiseom, I ordered iced macchiato. Hence the nyaman-ness. Hot kalu; haruslah bitter mengigit otak. Adoilah perangai di tempat orang. Up to this moment, macchiato pahit haunting her still. Tiap kali order drink, she'll say I'll drink anything BUT NOT hot macchiato. And tu jugaklah bahan kami mengejek dia. 
#5 For each set of churros, we can choose 2 dipping sauces. I chose dark chocolate & caramel (if I'm not mistaken)
Settle tea break, marilah kita bergerak ke next destination. Kalau lama² dalam San Churro, nanti ada menambah order yang bukan². 

On the way to Hosier Lane, sempat cuci mata tengok orang. Tengok building. Tengok jalan. Tengok signboards. Tengok kedai. 
#6 Beautiful fresh colorful flowers are everywhere. Dirt cheap pastu reduced price pula. If only boleh bawa balik...
Hosier Lane, Melbourne

Finding this lane was easy peasy. It lies just opposite the entrance of the ACMI building. Boleh nampak the red double decker Melbourne Sightseeing bus park opposite the lane as well. So chances untuk sesat adalah slightly zero. As usual, aku sudah buat homework awal². 
#7 Australian Centre for the Moving Image building; located within the Federation Square compound
#8 My kinda thing
Hosier Lane is a bluestone cobbled vehicular and pedestrian laneway on the southern edge of the central city grid. Hosier lane is a much celebrated landmark mainly due to its sophisticated Urban art (wiki)
#9 Colors 
#10 Bickering over mushroom?
#11 Dongak lagi for more artworks
#12 Shop in the middle of the street arts, selling vintage stuffs
#13 Yang al-Poyo tiada sempadan
#14 Too much interpretation needed
#15 Medusa's half-sister
#16 Boleh jamu telinga juga
#17 Monster inc (kondifen bagi nama walhal movie tu pun aku ndak tengok)
#18 Bila trash bins jadi props 
#19 More arts
I read somewhere, artworks at this street could be replaced in a week time. So next time if u go here surprise not if u cannot find the same artworks like I posted here. Banyak idea sangat street artist diorang ni. 
#20 Ms H a.k.a Miss Macchiato Pahit (tettttt)
We headed back to our hotel after wandering (and posing ndak hengat) for almost 2 hours here. Pi Woolworths kejap to stock up our food supplies. And also singgah My Chemist sebab ada orang mau beli shampoo (percayalah). Sambil tu ada juga terbeli perfume. Murah sangat katanye, berbaloi² beli. 

Balik bilik sempat berehat for a while. Siap mandi lagi. Typical Malaysian I guess. Prepared lebih kurang for dinner. Pastu keluar lagi. Saja mau enjoy malam di Melbourne katanye. Walau sejuk membeku, tabahlah hati especially our Ms H a.k.a Mama Ninja.

Bibie Karim said...

SYM: Sama lah. My first churros ever. But I have forgotten the taste hahaha. Yang akak terasa sedap till now was the one I bought in Seoul. Dia buat open order. Memang crispy kat luar & lembut kat dalam. Tetiba food critic.
