Went on a bit of a trek all over Sydney yesterday for a date day with Annie – it’s a bit unusual as usually we just have a single destination that we kind of go and check out, then head home afterwards. Instead this time, we went to:

• 2 Foodies in Mt. Pritchard for super authentic Pho, and Vietnamese Food
• Bondi Junction Westfield to watch War of the Rohirrim (great film!) and just check it out
• Macquarie Centre for dinner (Claypot Kitchen ♥)

Crossing Sydney as a whole multiple times was interesting, kept the day rolling along, and was a good day out!

I picked up Annie, and we trekked it over to 2 Foodies (https://www.instagram.com/2foodies_)

The food was super delicious at 2Foodies – it was extremely authentic and it was full of Vietnamese people ordering for their busy Sunday lunches! Annie went with a fresh Noodle Salad, and I went with Pho – with Beef Balls, Brisket and Rare beef and a Coconut Juice drink on the side!

We smashed our food so hard 😋

Neither of us had been to Mt. Pritchard before and we sure as heck picked a sunny, hot day to visit. Parking was a nightmare at the Petrol Station where 2 Foodies is located – so next time we go, we’ll definitely look for street parking.

Tummies full, we made our way to Bondi Junction’s Westfield Shopping Center — I’d never been before, always only passed the center. But this time around we were going to watch the new LOTR animated movie, The War of the Rohirrim.

Driving the M8 route from Liverpool all the way to Bondi was definitely a new experience for both of us, and it was kind of amazing seeing that Sydney had such a long underground tunnel for cars to travel. We made good time though, thanks to it!

I was impressed by the movie – it was an anime film that sparked a lot of Stranger of the Sword meets Princess Mononoke to me – and those films I rate probably a 9.5/10 – some of my favourite anime films of all time!

Imaginations inspired, we left – looking for dinner we actually decided to completely forgo eating at Bondi – the Westfield was incredibly disappointing. And headed “towards home” for a favourite at Macquarie Shopping Centre; Claypot Kitchen.

All in all, it was a fun day – and we’ve resolved to go on more “adventures” to check out more of Sydney together in the future. As Sydney natives – sometimes we just don’t really see things to do or enjoy in Sydney as much as it’s “home” for us.

Hopefully this opens our eyes up to more!
