Festival Indonesia 2009 was held at Federation Square this weekend (Website). There were lots of good homey food (pictured in the left side thumbnails) readily made available at a convenient spot (Melbourne CBD) in comparison to the usual suburban locations of the restaurants. I don't normally get access to these foods unless I went home for holiday (which is pretty much yearly) or when my mum come and cook for us (which is also pretty much yearly - if not twice a year) - so it was a really good occasion... :P Plus - I got to catch up with my siblings, Louisa and Lia! Superb!!!
For further explanation on what's what in terms of the food - please refer to List of Indonesian Dishes (Wikipedia). It's a pretty extensive list. ;)
Afterwards - me and Lia head out on an unpredictably-big journey to the DFO South Wharf. It wasn't exactly easy to find and definitely not as convenient as the Spencer St DFO (for public transporters like me & Lia). If you are heading there - I suggest you print this location page out as a guide. Also, head there early!
On the bright side - we got to see the "Melbourne Convention Centre" which is a quite pretty building for photos. Plus, the new DFO does offer perks such as bigger and shinier stores; more store options; and better value items than Spencer St.
I score a ultra gorgeous frilly black skirt and a nice simple silk blend grey dress from Forever New for under $65 (they are having "buy 1 sale item, half price 2nd sale item" combo!)! Also - finally got the stylish blazer jacket that I've been looking for quite some time now from Garfunkle for $40. The skirt and the blazer look "oh so gorgeous" together.. Yeah!
Will add pics of the items tomorrow. ;)
Good night now!
