Seafood Overdose!

Tonight, the girls decided not to eat the "free" eeky dinner provided by the hospital, but to be adventurous and drive out to Metung after the heavy rain yesterday... *keeping our fingers crossed that the roads are not blocked cause of the flood. We were lucky enough to get to Metung, only to find that the water level at the river and the sea was reallllyyyyy higggghhh...

It was pretty scary really! It felt like we were literally driving next to the sea on a narrow one lane road, and the waves were gonna hit us any minute. Addy was like "OH MY GOSH, I better drive carefully, or else my car will end up in the sea!" BUT, it was quite tremendous at the same time, cause we were sort of on the same level with the yachts, like... right next to them :) How cool was that??

I couldn't really snap any pics cause it was really dark... :(

I digress, but back to the point... we got to the Metung Hotel, a waterfront restaurant, for seafood, seafood, and more seafood! :) To our disappointment, they weren't serving their seafood platter tonight!!!!! :( :( I was so devastated, I nearly died! Hahah, not really.

So we settled for something else instead...


I had the chilli prawn pasta... Clarissa ordered the same thing too.
It was spicier than I thought! Cause when you actually go to a restaurant and it says "chilli" on their menu, it's usually pretty lame, but this was goood!!!! It was really yum! Chilli, spring onions, topped with a tinge of lemon :P HHmMmMmM...

Needless to say, I licked my plate clean! **well, I didn't literally lick it, of course**


Addy had the baked whole baby snapper. The snapper was really fresh! The meat was tender and sweet, it was perfect yummylicious!


Happy, contented, stuffed Mei, and smiley Clarissa... Gosh, I look so tired in the photo. ED was complete chockers today! Barely had time to breathe!!!


Clarissa and Addy @ the Metung Hotel Bistro.

We will definitely be back during the day one of these days... preferably when the water level's a little lower... so our anxiety level decreases a little :) and besides, I believe the view will be soooo much better during the day!

And baby, I'm so proud of you. I hope it all goes well, and you'll get what you want! And I'm so so so flattered that you mentioned me? as one of your greatest achievements over the past 2 years! You have no idea how over the moon you made me feel... *hugz*

Melbourne, I'll see you on Friday!

anonymous: It wasn't cheap, but it was worth the price we paid. They were quite reasoable though. 25 dollars per serve.
