Yum Cha and St Kilda

This week seems to be revolved around eating! Alissa organised a last-minute Yum Cha so headed to Gold Leaf on Burwood Hwy for a quick 1hr session with the Com gang. The parking situation there is shocking, I stalked a couple and managed to get a park ok. Service was efficient and the food came out quickly. A downside was that we didn't see much variety in the 1hr we were there - we missed some of the staples such as steamed bbq pork buns, sticky rice, footballs, radish cakes, ginger prawns. Quality was ok, and the bill ended up being a reasonable $18pp.

The plan afterwards was to go Salsa dancing at the St Kilda Sea Baths. Elaine had heard through friends that they were running salsa classes on Sunday afternoons so we thought we'd suss out the situation. It was the same gang as at Kelvin's pot luck night - Azuo, Elaine, Kelv, Dave and Kenny. So the salsa class started at 5pm and was $15. We decided to skip the class, get something to eat and come back for the open social dancing session at 6pm. After chilling in the Beachcomber cafe, we returned to the social session to find that the dance floor was packed with awesome salsa dancers!! Clearly we were not going to be able to cut it - it was mutually decided that we'd all go salsa classes and return when we actually knew what we were doing! Onto the list it goes!

We trekked to Ackland St to get a take-home pack of gelati from 7 apples and sat next to the beach eating ice-cream - yum! Kenny is full of interesting through-provoking subjects to start conversations; we have been having all these random discussions and it is all very amusing.
