I realize I had some Sydney photos lurking around unposted to my website during my Chinese New Year housecleaning. Now it's time to bring them back to life even though I'm 2 years late. My backlog is slowly being cleaned up as automation accelerate the processing and posting steps!
Taste of the Sea
1. Sydney Fish Market is my absolute favourite eating place. Too bad there are so few spots to eat outside, and we had to settle for the grass a few times, which was already packed by lunch time.
2. Canadian oysters costed about a buck each when in-season. I used that as a benchmark and the Aussies charged about the same here. I helped myself and had an absolute feast.
3. There was quite a large array of seafood available. I didn't have a chance to try all of them, and my regret was having missed the Moreton Bay bugs!
8. Sea urchin was a bit disappointing though, although I didn't get it at this store. This creature needs to be very fresh or else it will taste absolutely awful!
10. I came back to this market a few times during my 2-month stay in Australia for oysters. I could never get these prices in Hong Kong!
13. Too bad I'm not too good at cooking fish. I used to cook tuna quite often during my days in New York, since it's safe to eat tuna that is not too well cooked! These look quite yummy, although not sure what will happen if I make it a bit too raw.
18. There was a reason why I didn't try the bugs. They looked disgusting and not so edible upon first sight. But I was told they were good and I procrastinated to try. Now I have my regrets.
Lunch Jog
20. Aussies are very healthy people. At lunch, the park around the Opera House would be full of office workers jogging and playing sports. With the beautiful blue sky out, it was a crime not to be out.
22. Classified ...
23. Why swim in a pool when the ocean is right next to you?
24. This is only a 10-minute jog from the financial district!
27. This is why Sydney has such high quality of life. Imagine having a home office on the yacht, wiring money to distant corners around the world.
28. The day cannot get more perfect than this!
