Dinner @ Stalactites on Lonsdale Street 鐘乳石希臘餐廳吃晚餐

July 3rd 2010, Saturday, sunny I guess...

So after several days Princess J being the first one getting up in the house, Friday (July 2nd) was my day off. I decided not to go to Great Ocean Road with P. For one that G and I have been driving along the coast twice before, also I needed a day for myself after being intensively active... (I know I'm getting old~~~) Yet actually I was still the one who got up very early cz I had to wake P up to make sure she was on time for the tour to Great Ocean Road..

Saturday G went to Rose Street Market as usual, P and I made our move to Como Historic House & Garden. We paid for a guided tour to look around in the house. (Usually it's not open to the public...) It was good to learn from the guide yet a pity that some of the questions we asked she couldn't really answer..

Then I made my way back to the market while P went to have a look at Melbourne Univeristy.

So we met in the city to have dinner together. Greek food was the choice for that night.

We walked along Lonsdale Street, which is known as "Greek Precinct" in Melbourne CBD. Then we spotted a restaurant called "Stalactites" that was full of people, thinking that the food wouldn't be bad if so many people were dining there and also a long queue waiting for food to take away!!

After waiting for a while, we were seated upstairs, next to a window. We ordered several appetizers- mixed dips, octopus, and saganaki-----

And for mains- G had Lamb Souvlaki, P had Cabbage Rolls, and Princess J had Fish soup.

Oh, and I tried Greek soft drink, a lemon squash flavour. Of course G and P both tried Greece beer and "ouzo" (is an anise-flavored aperitif that is widely consumed in Greece) definitely was a must for them to try. (cz Princess isn't good with alcohol....) 

Overall, I enjoyed the food!  :) 

2010年 七月三號  大概是晴天吧~~~ (事隔多日,有點想不起來....)

回到當地陪的日子...

所以在連續幾天我都是最早起的那個之後

星期五(7/2)決定放自己一天假

(連著幾天操下來還是會累的...)

<好啦~ 我老了.....>

讓P自己去大洋路的行程

主要是之前G和我已經兩次開過那趟沿海的路線了

話雖如此我還是最早起的那個

因為要叫P起床並確定她趕得上巴士的行程....

星期六G一如往常去了市場

我和P去看了Como House

付了錢之後

有一位導覽解說員帶我們參觀Como House

(因為平常一般是沒有對外開放免費參觀的)

可以看看及了解其歷史還蠻不錯的

可惜有些問題那位解說員也答不上來...

Como House之後我就先趕去市場幫忙了

P去逛了墨爾本大學

約好晚餐在市區吃

P說要吃希臘菜

所以我們就沿著Lonsdale街邊走邊看

(因為那是市區著名的"希臘區")

挑了一間人滿為患的餐廳

心想這麼多人在吃

還有這麼多人排隊等座位和等外帶的

應該不會難吃到哪去

排隊等了一陣子之後

我們被安排在樓上一個靠窗的桌子

終於可以點餐了

叫了幾道前菜-

然後G點了羊肉捲

P點了甘藍菜捲

我則點了魚湯

喔~ 當然飲料也是要的~

我酒量超差 只好點了一個檸檬口味的氣泡飲料
G和P則是餐前點了一瓶Greek Beer
餐後再來一杯"Ouzo" (茴香烈酒)

整的來說,這餐我覺得還不錯吃!  :)
