I finally got the opportunity to try a tuna steak! There was a popular stall selling yellowfin tuna steak but they didn't have any available. Our next option was to buy a steak from Peter's and get it cooked on-site. The tuna cost about $8 for 310g and the cost to cook them was $1.5 per 100g. This was probably cheaper than getting it from the other store. We bought some smoked eel (Japanese style) and fresh sashimi and seaweed salad from Claudio's. Claudio's only sold the sashimi...

For her breakfast, mum had some oyster mee sua and some warm soya bean milk. The broth for the noodles was very tasty. Unfortunately the serving was a bit small and there were only three oysters in the bowl.

This is the curry beef bun I bought last night. Not much filling - this was the section that had the most - and hardly any beef.

Walking around Harbourside I noticed a lot of the restaurants had dinner specials on, particularly early dinner specials. Olivo had a $35pp special which consisted of any entree, any main and a drink (including wine). Mum: - Entree: Homemade scallop and barramundi ravioli - Main: Lamb rump with feta, sun-dried tomatoes and oven-roasted potatoes Me: - Entree: Mussels with a tomato based-sauce - Main: Grain-fed eye fillet with sweet-potato mash [gallery order="DESC" link="file" columns="2" ids="2836,2838,2837,2835,2839"] I think I picked the better dish combination, though to be fair, mum only picked the lamb because she'd had the...

While I was buying some bread for breakfast tomorrow, mum decided to line up for some popular-looking cream puffs, which were made by the same bakery. They had a pretty cool machine to make them. They weren't as oily or as sweet as I thought they'd be, which was nice. The outer bread layer was also slightly crispy.
