yam cha at westlake restaurant

finally got ida to go down with me to the city. walked to clayton to take the train. tried to use a short-cut but ended up walking through monash medical centre campus. found out later that taking the train from clayton was not a good move. clayton happens to be in zone 2 whereas huntingdale - one station away - is in zone 1. it is not worth boarding a train to the city from clayton when you can do it at huntingdale because you need to pay more. it costs us aus$5.30 to make a one way trip to flinders station.

showed ida around the city; not that she had not been to the city before but just to get her re-acquainted. as ida was hungry, we made our way to little bourke, chinatown. ate at the westlake restaurant. yam cha is available up to 5 .00 p.m. for 5 portions of tim sum, we paid aus$25.60. after lunch, walked over to maxim to buy 5 pieces of egg tarts for $7.00.

we did not plan to go back to lantana too early as the place is used for a care group meeting on thursday night. we browsed and did some window shopping. went to myers, target and the basement. ida went to the kids' section in target and got herself a bath robe.

ivy called to let us know that she would pick us up from the huntingdale station. when we reached the station, joab was with her. she drove us to holmes, where they had dinner in a korean restaurant. ida and i chose to drink the complimentary tea.
