The last day in Sydney was a very lazy and spontaneous day as we were planning to go Hunter Valley but then realise that it would be a bit rushed, so we slept in, had late check out and decide to check out a famous breakfast place that I read about in other people’s blog: “Bills”.
Bills is located just outside of Sydney CBD in Surrey Hills area. As it doesn’t seems to be very far, we decide to walk there enjoy the street view of Sydney suburb and building up out appetite. However, we didn’t realise that Surrey Hills really means it’s on the hills. It was a good exercise climbing up the hills after hills before we finally arrived, and there were already a long queue there. Since we already made the effort to come all the way, we put our name down on the waiting list. It doesn’t look very big but it does give you a very comfortable, relax feeling. And I think it should be very good because the crowd and the food looking from outside the window almost promise it.

After 30 min wait, we finally got our seat. I ordered their signature Aussie big breakfast and darling had the wagyu beef burger. The scrambled egg is very silky and smooth, and the mushroom is so juicy and fresh that I just can’t have it enough. Darling’s burger is also very yummy that he said he would highly recommend that one for sure. There also quite a lot offers on the menu that I would like to try, but then again, table is kind small, and so does my stomach. We would have to leave it for the next time.

p.s. They don’t accept booking if it’s under 6 person, and it is definitely gonna be a queue there. But it definitely worth waiting for.

After the breakfast, we wondered to The Star Casino in Sydney. It has a very nice view of the harbour. Although we didn’t go to any restaurants there, I am sure it would be enjoyable to have some tea or a meal in restaurant where has the full glass view of the harbour. After a quick play and shopping, we visited the Zumbo there. It was very bright and eye catching. They made it like a sushi train, with all different desserts on it looping around. And the presentation looks really pretty.

We tried the creme brûlée with blueberry ice cream. The texture is very smooth and it sets perfectly. Although it’s a bit too sweet for me, it’s a good creme brûlée for sure. We also bought some macaron for takeaway, but I have to say, they are creative in flavours, but it’s really too sweet and it’s not as soft and cloudy as the laduree one.
As we can’t decide where to go for dinner, somehow, we showed up in front of Din Tai Fung again. Haha~~ well it was a very good choice though. Super happy about that.
As we thought we were flying back to Brisbane, our flight got cancelled due to weather, that’s a not very pleasant surprise. We have to quickly rebooke the ticket and booking the hotel for extra night. However, from the good side, it gives us the opportunity to try out a very cool cafe in the airport. The coffee shop is very eye catching and so does their coffee and breakfast. Their ham and cheese turkish bread is very yummy and unique with a touch of spicy chilly jam in it. And of course, it is environment friendly just as their shop looks like.

Our Sydney trip is short but very good. Too good to end in 4 days so we have to spend another day there. Unexpected, but nice surprises. Sometimes, life throw unexpected things on you, as you go along with it, it might give you pleasant surprises, and you can always try to make the most of it. 🙂
