The Hellenic Museum in Melbourne is a little-known treasure, but it comes highly recommended! Our kid stumbled upon this museum by chance, recognising three paintings at the entrance that were related to Greek mythology. After a quick online search, we booked an activity at the museum and had an amazing experience! We arrived right when […]

Stardust Circus is Coming to Sydney!
This weekend, we took the kids to see an incredibly circus show called Stardust Circus. The entire venue felt like stepping into a retro movie from the ’90s, with performers in classic outfits. The performance was divided into three main sections: acrobatic performances, clown interludes, and small animal entertainment (nothing cruel, just soft guidance for […]
Sydney’s New Popular Playground – Five Dock
The recently opened Charles Heath Reserve Playground, a new hit by the Canada Bay Council, is really buzzing! It’s hard to find a playground in Sydney that’s busier than this new one. This park, a joint project by the council and the state government, cost $5.72 million to create. However, its popularity definitely exceeds some […]
Must-Try Iconic Flinders Station Waffle
When in Melbourne, you have to check out the Flinders Waffle! It’s a unique cultural landmark of Melbourne! We’re so easily drawn to these kinds of things, anything with a landmark design, and we’re sold. Like when we were in Sydney, we didn’t miss out on the Opera House-themed ice cream! We just love checking […]
A Sydney Ramen Shop that Feels Just Like Japan
One of Sydney’s hottest ramen spots recently, the Ramen Auru. One of our friends took us to this ramen place. It felt just like a restaurant in Japan, with the tatami seating we’ve always wanted to try, something we missed even when we visited Japan! Here you will find very Japanese-looking vending machine only prints […]
Cat Alley in Surry Hills – McElhone Place
Last time strolling around Moore Park West, we stumbled upon McElhone Place, also known as the Cat Alley! We saw a few cats the day we went! At the entrance of the alley, there’s a sign saying “Cat Crossing” which is just heartwarming! If you’re lucky, you might actually see lazy cats basking in the […]
New Truffle Honey Cake at Deli Republic
We were simply amazed by the truffle honey cake from this Sydney deli – Deli Republic, Rosebery. In addition to selling ham and making sandwiches and paninis, they also sell some small grocery items like pasta sauces, canned fish in oil, and small Italian snacks. And they also sell some cakes, such as Eastern European […]
The Secret Garden in Sydney Paddington
We had an afternoon tea in Paddington last weekend. This artistic district lives up to its reputation. There are many cozy little coffee shops and bookstores where you can relax after a stroll. While you’re here, don’t miss out on visiting the nearby – Paddington Reservoir Gardens! This garden is the former reservoir, abandoned due […]
The Famous Sydney KOI Dessert Bar Finally Comes to Melbourne
We received a VIP email saying KOI (opened by a MasterChef) has opened in Melbourne. We can’t even remember how many years KOI has been around. We’ve been enjoying it in Sydney for the past seven years. The store has changed locations twice in Sydney, but there’s always a beautiful and delicious new item each […]
The Darling Harbour Ice Rink is Back
There’s a new spot to take the kids for some fun during the school holidays! The Darling Harbour ice rink is back. The ice rink is located right in front of the IMAX Theatre. Tickets can be purchased online (https://www.darlingharbour.com/whats-on/campaigns/winter-festival), but the website crashed this morning, so we bought them on-site. Each session starts on […]
