Queens Bday Weekend

Was a long weekend so we decided to make most of it by going to Mornington Peninsula. Stayed at RACV Cape Schanck resort....was actually pleasantly surprised at the accommodation. The view of the coast from the room was gorgeous...and they were wonderful in letting us check-in early and check-out late....the food there didn't do much for us though...ang moh idea of buffet quite different from mine...carvery buffet actually means roast beef, roast pork and roast lamb...a few vegetables and some dessert...that's about it..and it was 30 bucks...sheesh....while the guys had a great time there playing at both the Cape Schanck and Eagle Ridge golf courses...us gals decided to go to the Peninsula Hot Springs for a relaxing soak in the mineral pool and a massage...I had the 60 min Kudo massage...really quite good...and the place was all zen and calming....heee..

After the massage we went to this little cafe/fish place called FED Up Fish Cafe. Thank goodness we made a booking...the place was packed...from the outside...it doesnt look like somewhere u will walk into....but it was warm and cosy inside....the price was good...service could be abit quicker(me Singaporean..what u expect)....but the food was just beautiful....we had the seafood chowder - loaded with seafood, fish and chips - had homemade chips, beer battered oysters - fresh and yum yum yum and crab pancake with seared scallops - so much crab u cant even see or taste the batter if there was any at all...the portions were pretty generous, hence no dessert...*burp*...will definately go back..hee hee

On our way back the next day, we stopped at Paringa Estate for lunch....oh..really happy with the food as well...Ck and myself had the quail cooked 3 ways...and thomas had the crispy skin barramundi in lobster bisque and gwen had the pork confit which was beautiful....this time..DESSERT!!!! heeee...creme brulee and choc mousse with cuppacino ice-cream..yum yum yum...of course price is winery price...so u know..abit steeper...but yum...and their pinot noir is pretty pretty good....
