This is a continuation from my previous EASTER post on AhLih's trip to Melbourne. In due time, we reached Mt. Dandenong or rather Sassafras, a small town in the Dandenong Ranges. This is going to be more of a picture post with some commentaries underneath each picture.
sky is always beautiful here in Australia
A unprepared-looking picture of me beside the signboard...
The main reason people come here is to go to Miss Marple... WHY??! you may ask...
People come here for the shop's famous scones!
But you should be here before 11am if you don't want the hassle of having to queue...
after 11am, there's ALWAYS a queue especially weekends and public holidays!
Since we were late, we had to wait for 15minutes.
Hence, we decided to walk around the area where there's one to two rows of shops.
Ooooh can't wait to have some $$ to collect all these quaint looking tea pots.
I do drink coffee but am more of a tea drinker!
and how can anyone say 'NO' to these adorable and quaint pots?!
will definitely need to have lots of cupboard spaces for these collections though...
oooh... my eyes are on the ladybug one!!
AhLih and Mr. C
There are just so many picturesque photos waiting to be captured...
There were a few antique shops... it's a favourite here in Australia - antique shops.
ahhh... one of my better works.. =p
poor doggie we saw, shivering... on closer inspection, you can see the dog shaking... poor thing
We didn't go up the stairs but just took a picture here as the arch looked quaint...
Maybe you can try the food here next time and let me know how it turns out...
More random shots...
and still learning angles and editting...
So, now you know who is MISS MARPLE...
Super adorable and sweet NiNi!!
The English... quaint ambiance.
The scones... a MUST HAVE!!
Me with the menu... always take pictures of self at places you've visited to help jog your memory when your brain's all fried up and slipping...
Soup of the day : Slurpilicious Pumpkin
Some chicken fingers with sprouts
Bread and awesome butter that came with the soup
The scones were good but...
it was the butter and..
the whip cream AND the strawberry jam that made it phenomenal!!
the cream was super light and fluffy! Definitely doesn't make you feel 'zhai' or jelak-y.
A definite MUST TO TRY when you're in Melbourne and especially when you're around the Dandenong Ranges - Miss Marple and the sky deck.
Who knows? I might be visiting this place again next week with my family. Wheee.....
