I love to live @ Parramatta~

Didn't update for a while as I haven't been really thoughtful recently. My mind just kinda empty and just sort of enjoying my laidback lifestyle around my neighbourhood (Parramatta, Sydney). Spend most of my spare time with my loves one, shopping and have nice foods. ^__^

There is art @ Parramatta~ haha~

Have been staying at Parramatta for about 2.5 years. It is a CBD that is nearest to Sydney City (About 40 minutes driving to th west from City). Living cost is much cheaper compare to city. Example 2 bedroom apartment in City cost: AUD600 per week. While I pay AUD300 in Parramatta. Lifestyle i would say is totally different but so far I just couldn't afford to stay in the city or any other better suburbs.

The Westfield Shopping Town

The station

So far, I find it is kinda convenience to stay at Parramatta. Where most importantly, there is a Huge Westfield Shopping Centre which have almost everything in it and it is just 5 minutes walk from my little unit. There is plenty of train going to city or any other major suburbs form Parramatta stations. There are plenty of Chinese shops for my groceries shopping, video renting and restaurants. (Note: I can't live without the TVB tapes in Sydney). So I do have my Shopping, Food, Entertainment and Transportation in Parramatta. And I could have AUD300 per week on rental. Hey isn't that is a lot of $$$ So... Why not ? ^__^

Also would like to introduce some of my favourite foods in Parramatta:

1st one would be the Singapore Cuisine Restaurant, Temasek (Booking is recommeded) :

My favourite dish, Hainanese Chicken Rice. I would say is pretty authentic among the rest in Sydney so far I could find.

The HarMee Soup (Prawn Mee Soup)

Sotong Ketchup Manis (Fried Calamari in sweet Ketchup)

2nd one that I would like to mention is the TingHa Palace at Parramatta League Club:

Juicy n Creamy Egg Tart

Calamari DimSum, my girlfriend claimed that it was a little bit too fishy but i like it so much... LOL

3rd one would be the Meat & Wine Co.:

The Premium CUT!!!!!Gosh.. It's So Yummy!

4th, Bamboodle (Thai Restaurant):

Slightly expensive if you compare to those at Newtown , but if you really feel like having some Thai food in Parra and doesn't willing to travel too far, this will be the one to go.

Grilled duck fried with chinese brocolli + Rice.


My favourite Tom Yum Soup.


It's brown rice!!! Yes they serve brown rice... Isn't that healthy! T__T

5th, Sun Ming B.B.Q. Restaurant:

6th The Vietnamese Restaurant:

It's along the Church St, forgot the name lah.. just few shops away from Sun Ming.

7th, 龙缘小厨 (Also along the Church Street):

Recently, I found a dish in this reatuarant which is very nice.

Beside Foods, I do spent times with my little Cookie as well~ Brought her for a walk this morning at a park nearby. She was so happy running around and we have met a little handsome buddy "Teddy". He is a Snzoodle in black. He is so gentle and kind looking. I like him so much and so Cookie does as well. ^__^
