The Grounds of Alexandria
Bucket list item #2035 – The Grounds of Alexandria Sydney, Australia Who wins for best brunch in Sydney? Ding ding ding! It’s Grounds of Alexandria! This may come as a shock after my blog about Cuppa Flower, which was absolutely delicious, but Grounds of Alexandria takes the cake. However, this is much more than a brunch spot. The Grounds are huge and there are endless wonders. You can shop for foods and flowers, stop by the donut shop, have a coffee, stroll through gardens and Arabian arches, eat in multiple places and even pet livestock. Plus, they make everything in house. Hell, there’s a bakery on the premise, of…
Hacienda Sydney
Bucket list item #2036 – have a drink at Hacienda Sydney, Australia So, what is Hacienda? Hacienda is a bar and restaurant inside Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour. It’s inspired by 1950’s Miami and boasts some beautiful views of the Sydney Harbour. The views are great and all, but I was here for the drinks. I did some research on the best places for a drink in Sydney, and Hacienda came up over and over and over. Well, I have to say mission accomplished, which is a tall order for Dave and I because we are picky about our mixed beverages. We can be such snobs sometimes. I can’t say…
Cuppa Flower
Bucket list item #1573 – eat at Cuppa Flower Sydney, Australia If you’re a pancake connoisseur, then I sure have the place for you. Hell, if you merely like breakfast then this place is for you. Cuppa Flower, my love, you are so damn good! When you walk in the door, you’re greeted with a plethora of flowers and cute shit because you need that to prepare you for what’s to come. I mean, you couldn’t handle the visually pretty overload otherwise. You need that prep work. This is one of those restaurants where everything they throw at you is begging to be photographed from the flower art in your…
Spice Alley
Bucket list item #2811 Spice Alley Sydney, Australia Why yes, that is me stuffing my face with dumplings. Why yes, they were certainly delicious! That’s the magic of Spice Alley: everything is delicious. You don’t know what Spice Alley is? Let me indulge you. Spice Alley is, as the name says, a little alley in Sydney filled with a diverse array of Asian cuisines ranging from Singaporean to Indian to Malaysian. There are all sorts of Asian choices. So much so that it’s overwhelming. I went with a group of friends and the amount of time it took us to decide what to eat was a little painful. This place…
Hubert
Bucket list item # 2810 eat at Hubert Sydney, Australia Every once in a while, I throw in the towel and put zero effort into taking photos of a bucket list check. Sorry, guys! We went to Hubert for our anniversary and I just couldn’t be bothered with bringing my camera, especially considering the fact that the place was so darn dark. It seemed like a battle I wasn’t willing to fight. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk about it though! Hubert is a French restaurant in Sydney with all the ambiance. Its low lighting is reminiscent of candles and the wafting music is just loud enough to…
