Ms Marples, again.

The State of Victoria celebrated Labour's Day exactly a week ago (not tat it's relevant to me, but somehow i got 'affected'); so we drove hubby's ex colleague and his wife upto Mt Dandenong. It was cool being back there since our last visit, the good thing about this place is that it's only 30 mins drive from where we're staying and the scenery up there is just beautiful.

Of course, it's pure straightforward to bring "new" people who have not been to the area to try out the touristy Ms Marples; so we headed back to the little cottage for the second time in less than a month. The place was, as predicted, fully packed on a public hol and we had to wait for an hour to be seated.  

In between that hour of waiting, we visited the little tea room right next to Ms Marples, which sells various tea leaves and coffee beans. This is where i got  further inspired to make Yo Yos. They call them melting moments here in Ozzie. So, i was wrong. Yo Yo is an American term, i guess?

After an hour or so, we finally got a table, n these were wat we had.

My Iced Coffee. Good to break the rule sometimes; but the guilt is killing. ^-^. Had to work so hard to burn that calories.

A must order. The place is famous for this ok? Well, second time n i still think they're too cakey. Like eating cakes with minced fruits. Apart from that, they were ok, but still not as good as the ones i had in Sunny Ridge. Or my scones? lol.

Chicken Asparagus Fingers, ordered by Vaneet n Anshu. They were complimenting how good these were, so i believe they must be at least 4 stars up? I will make these soon. Not that hard.

Aussie chips. This is quite pricey; $6.50 for a bowl of chips?!

Hubby's cottage pie. Like baby food to me. Mash too fine n i find it a bit dry. Sigh, i miss UK's shepherd pie.



The bill. Not cheap. Which makes me wonder if i shd go back next time. No, i shd try others.
