Friday night out and MARDI GRASS @ Home

Mardi Grass fell on a Saturday, 7th of March. The night before, I had dinner at Darling Harbour Hurricane"s Grill and Steak Bar which is the place to go for RIBS and more RIBS!
Waited for the longest period of time, sun set sun rise sun set sun rise and on and on...


Finally we were seated and the place is really dark, lots of ambience with small blazing fire on a panel which separates the kitchen and dinning area.

We ordered their house special, Hurricane's ribs i think there were pork ribs and lamb ribs...gosh felt like a carnivore!
To balance out the meaty dish, there was the octopus salad

The pictures taken that night were from my phone camera..proud of my samsung omnia haha

See the flaming small fire behind me

Next we headed down to this German beer place which served mango beer!!
Well, is not something new since I've tried it before in Brotzeit@ Vivo, yea is about the same kinda taste.

The bar was filled with drunk people mostly ang mohs.. the bar closed at 11 something close to midnight, can't get used to the fact that most places close relatively early here..

Anyway, since the night is still young, we walk around the city and decided to have supper at SEOUL RIA

I like the place, very anyo-haseyo feel, they have korean boss, korean ppl serving, korean drama playing, korean song blasting, korean ppl eating

And they have interesting desserts!!!

Ice cream in the shape of a mango
there were others in coconut shape, watermelon

The "seed" of the mango is hazelnut filling

BINGSU
Korean ice kacang

Besides all the dessert, we ordered a boat of sashimi and some stir fried dish and a bottle of plum soju.


The next day, which is MARDI GRASS day, we had plans to celebrate it the AUSSIE way which is to throw a BBQ or how they call it here "let's have a BARBIE"

All the meat for BBQ was prepared by kajie and I

Marinated beef and lamb


Marinated prawn and octopus


KEBAB PRAWN

The BBQ area is just opposite our apartment but there's no formal booking to the place, is on a first come first BBQ basis. So KT sat down there like 2hours before to "CHOP" the place.
At first we thought of just putting our stuff there on the table but you never know what will happened since the BBQ area is just next to the playground maybe some kids would dig their hands into our food!

Ah pek number 2 came into the apartment and straight away sank his feet into my powerpuff slippers. He said it was a natural reaction!

After countless times of bringing all the stuff up and down to the BBQ area from our apartment,
We were ready to BARBIE!!

The BBQ pit works with $1 coin each round like playing arcade game. When the fire dies and game's over we put in more coins.


The guys took it from here and controlled the fire and BBQ.

While we went back to our childhood days and attack the slide...wooooooooweeeeeeeeeMy roller coaster post

The light supposedly to shine on the place we BBQ our stuff was down, so we were cooking in partial blindness but the food turn out to be really yummy anyway

Bluey bunny came down to play

After the cleaning up, the older generation decided to be IN so I suggested we played truth and dare while sipping wine from Hunter Valley.

Truth and dare took another turn and became more of MARDI GRASS haha
