A Little Trip to Italy for Sunday Lunch

Lovely spring weather on Sunday, what would you like to do?
Most of Sydneysiders go out for late breakfast on Sundays especially in this weather, you'd like to go somewhere you could sit outside and enjoy the sun. So where would you go?

I chose to go to Italy today, but just only in Surry Hills.



Caffé Sicilia 
628 Crown Street Surry Hills NSW 
www.caffesicilia.com.au

"Old-world Italian dining meets new-school Surry Hills"
You feel like you are in Italy! (not as I have been there yet...) Italian staffs will treat you very well:-) It's prefect for late Sunday lunch with a glass of wine.

We didn't have wine as I was dying to have a coffee.
Coffee was nice & strong, Orange Juice was also nice & fresh!

So far so good...

We ordered Fried Mozzarella in Carrozza ($14), Pane Cuzato ($14) and Involtini ($20).
I just guessed it would be lots of cheese:-) Yay!

First two dishes came into the table. Yes!!!!! CHEESE!!! Fries Mozzarella is basically "Fried Mozzarella":P Very crunchy outside and melted Mozzarella inside.... YUM!

Then Pane Cuzato is grilled focaccia (loved the crunchiness) with Tomoto, Buffalo Mozzarella, Tuna, Eggplant and Baked Ricotta = FULL ON.

My first impression, to be honest.... was, my gosh. The baked ricotta looked like white chocolate and the sauce looked like dark chocolate...lol But once you tasted, everything worked pretty well.

Finally Involtini which is rolled Veal stuffed with Breadcrumbles, Parmesan, Garlic and Peperonata. Lovely taste, nice and thin veal.. but by the time we received the dish, I had too much cheese already.

Overall everything was really tasty but I couldn't eat any more cheese. I wonder all Italian eat so much cheese every day?
They have so many good looking dolci too.. but I couldn't fit any more food:-( maybe next time.....

Once we finished the lovely time in Italy, decided to pop into a new store on Crown St "THE STANDARD STORE" .


They have lovely English-style clothes and accessories. Check out their website www.thestandardstore.com.au - they will start online shop very soon too! Very simple but very details.
 I only got a super cute&tiny bracelet which was made by a French girl who live in Australia - elvis et moi★ www.elvisetmoi.com 

Very cute... love it so much! The Standard Store has different types of bracelets and necklaces - loved the one with skeleton which eventually will be on my wrist soon:-)

After walking around Surry Hills, we decided to go back to typical Australian Cafe, Bills, Woollaahra. www.bills.com.au 


I love Bills. Ordered Meatballs, I was already so full... so couldn't eat much but it was very interesting taste. Meatballs are like Moroccan, potatoes  are like Indian and sauce tastes like Asian... maybe I prefer the famous pancakes better but I feel so happy just being in the restaurant. Just love it.

Over all nice Sunday afternoon! x 

シドニーもだいぶと春になって、ポカポカです。そんないい天気の日曜日、何してますか?

シドニーでの週末の過ごし方は人それぞれですが、大抵の人が遅いランチを楽しんだり、ビーチを歩いたり、公園に行ったり、日曜はどっちかっていうとダラダラ過ごします☆

で、あたしはサリーヒルズにあるイタリアン カフェ "カフェ シシリア" に行ってきましたぁー!イタリア行ったことないけど、イタリアに来た気分になれるレストラン。

食べた物がすべてチーズで、ちょっと失敗しちゃったかもしれないけど、トロトロチーズが超うまい!イタリア人は毎日こんなにチーズ食べてるのかなってちょっと考えながらちゃっかり完食☆

次に向かったのが、最近クラウンストリートにできたザスタンダードストア。
ここの商品は日本人にきっとうけると思う!英国風のスタイルで、服からアクセサリーまでシンプルなデザインがいい感じ!そこで、出会ったのがこっちに住んでるフランス人の手作りというブレスレット。大好きな☆がかわいい!この、繊細な作りが超つぼ。他にもいろいろなデザインがそろってたから、またきっと戻って違うパターンも揃えちゃぉー♪

で、最後は日本でもおなじみのビルズ。ウラーラ店はあたしのお気に入りの一つ。あの、中庭感覚が落ち着く〜。お腹いっぱいなのに、ミートボール頼みましたぁぁ。いろんな国の味が混じってて、不思議。個人的にはスタンダードなパンケーキのが好きかも。。。

ってな日曜でした☆
