Beautiful Xmas bus - only in Sydney

What a pleasant surprise to have xmas decorated buses plying the roads of Sydney 

There were a couple but this one really catches my eye and made my day.

Took this little beauty on Xmas eve to town.

Instantaneously lighted up my evening with santa driver 

 

My favourite opal reader is closed in celebration of the festive period

It's so intricately and organically designed I can't complain

Lots of goodies in one area

Drivers area!! 

I really can't complain can I?? :)

St. Peter's to Newtown

I'm so blessed to have the day off to walk around Sydney with my Malaysian guest.

We decided to do the St. Peter's to Newtown route.

Off we go!!! Wheeeee. St. Peter's station starts from the end of Newtown's King street and a straight walk down will take you to Newtown and all it's glory.

As you can see, Newtown has an eclectic mix of old and new. Retro furniture shops and bookstores line the street. Yet, there are modern bars, eateries, cinemas and coffee shops around almost every little corner.

Many old folks like to stroll down Newtown street in the day. Many hipsters also frequent that area.

A florist on the streets of Newtown.

Many beautiful restaurants including this Turkish one pictured. Too gorgeous I couldn't resist a picture.

Although it's called Newtown, the exterior of the buildings are actually quite old. But most units are nicely renovated anyway, providing the juxtaposition between old and new.

This town is also very gay friendly. You can see many gay couples around especially on weekends strolling the streets. The reason is due to the artistic flair this area provides as can be seen in one of the houses above. Moreover, it's like just one suburb away from the CBD.

Happening area. Check it out tourists.

Penrith seafood

Had a delectable lunch earlier this week at Penrith Seafood at Wetherill Park.

It has two sections, one for fresh seafood and the other for cooked seafood meals. I decided to try out their fish and chips after curiosity bought me over after few days of observation. 

I noticed the long queues and many orders of fish and chips amongst other sumptuous menu orders.

 

 

 

Prices are extremely reasonable coming from a tight arse like myself. I'm a huge eater and these chips could prolly last me half a day. Nice chicken salt or normal ones if so you wish. Two chunks of nicely fried fish, sweet and cruchy batter that's irresistible with tattar sauce. yums

It's $9.40 individually and $10.50 for a set which includes the sauce and a drink. Totally value meal.

My friend tried the fish burger the next day and it was huge-ass delicious and chips serving was humongous. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of it. They have daily specials as well and many other grilled and seafood choices like lobster, and almost whatever you name. I like the seafood and fish market at Pyrmont , but I like the prices here better :)
