Exploring Alexandria, NSW. Part 1

I decided that this year that my desire to change and enjoy the life that I really want is stronger than my old habits.  2014 will ne a year to explore new areas in Sydney and everywhere I go, stop complaining about how boring things could be, and appreciate more all things around me.
 
Last Saturday, first one of the year, I went to Alexandria.  I was surprised by all the places I found in that area.  But this time I'm going to tell you about the place I had lunch at: Vicinity Dinning, on 90-96 Bourke Rd (Cnr Collins St).
 
This nice dinning offers different spaces to suit whatever the reason is you are visiting this place: bar, outdoor terrace, chic restaurant.  I had a delicious fresh orange & watermelon juice, and our choices for main meals were "Pappardelle with heirloom tomatoes, basil pesto, capers and parmesan cheese", and "Twice cooked pork belly with caramelized green beans, fennel seeds and chimichurr".  It was all yummy and nicelly served.
 
Good service but my only complain was that they were a bit slow to take our order and to bring the dishes.  Except for that little details I loved the place and the decoration.  I'll definetely going back there, next time maybe not feeling too hungry.  =)

Indian delicious food in Canberra

I lived for 2 years in Canberra and while living there I tried a few Indian restaurants.  My favorite: Bollywood Masala in Dickson! 

We go back to "The Berra" a few times a year, visiting family and friends, and I always try to meet friends for lunch or dinner. This Christmas holiday wasn't an exception so I went back to Bollywood Masala! 

My selection of food this time was simple but awesome and substantial: Aloo Naan bread (stuffed with potato), Kadai Murg (Chicken),  Special Saffron Rice, and Mango Lasi. It was all great, the place is well decorated so it would be a nice choice for an special occasion, and prices are fine.

The restaurant is conveniently located near Dickson Shops & Canberra's Chinatown, which is surrounded by a few bars where you could have a couple of drinks afterwards.
