CANDY SHOP, AUBURN

Hidden in a creepy yellow brick building on parramatta rd, auburn, 

across the road from the reading cinemas is 

MILLERS DISTRIBUTING CO.

AKA a time warp back to the 90s via. candy

ignore the cheap lookin building, cause the lollies ain't that cheap!

in reality they're really quite cheap 

BUT they're not really, considering the fact that

most of these lollies expired in 1996

^^the melted ice cream spray candy was literally melting

out of the box in a typical west end fashion

however once you're able to find it in your heart to look past the expiry 

dates and decide not to consume the food, we are 150% certain that the blast from the 

past in the form of 90s candy will be a worthwhile experience

especially these RAP N' ROCK collectable bubblegum packets

featuring the likes of madonna, salt n' pepper, ice cube, paula abdul,

blondie, run dmc, prince and many many more sure to be a hit

on any playground/office cubicle and a sure way to make new friends

^^^cotton candy bubble gum!!!!!!!!! 

remember that? huh? HUH?!

FLOWER MARKETS, FLEMINGTON

The flower markets at flemington are amazing!!

They happen every friday woohoo!

If you want the most excellent and decent priced flowers then it is best to go very earlier ie. around 6am. If you want equally as fantastic flowers but with a smaller variety and cheaper then it is best to go later ie. around 10am. If you go even later on in the afternoon then you can get free flowers by picking the rejects up off the floor, this is not frowned upon at all because there are only about 5 people present in the very large market of flowers at that time.

pretty and pretty cheap!

these babies were going for $10 which is pretty amazing seeing as bunnings wanted an entire $23! just dont get too upset when they die in winter because apparently theyll come back to life by summer if you continue watering them

centrepieces we made with the $50 worth of flowers we bought,

talk about a bargain! only in the west side

If you want to buy some fresh fruit that is also an option at the fruit markets which are conviniently located in the giant factory next door. As well as the fruit market there is another market that sells things such as real cheap mac make up, sanitary items, snack foods, socks and a whole bunch or random stuff you may just happen to need OH AND SEAFOOD YUM!

Daim! This chocolate is cheap and sexy $15/box!

GUESS WHO BACK

After a brief hiatus of youtube blogging, 

(see----> http://www.youtube.com/user/WestEndGurls)

we've decided we're now totally able to multitask and get back to updating this blog 

so yeah WE R BACK and so is the COOLIBAH HOTEL!!!!

OLD COOLIBAH HOTEL

NEWER/BIGGER AND BETTER COOLIBAH HOTEL

The coolibah hotel has been one of our favourite local chill spots in the west simply because it's so close to home....it sadly broke our hearts and closed down mid 2011 but that was okay i guess because it has NOW REOPENED AND HAS TAKEN ITS PLACE AS OUR FAV WEST END PUB ONCE AGAIN, NOT ONLY because it's so close to home, but because of it's pimpin new look and design and features which we will now go into detail about................. 

PIMPIN NEW FEATURES OF THE HOTEL:

1) The shiny new tasty bistro with totally affordable west end priced food 

(dearest item = $28) the kitchen looked much cleaner than it's previous 

state, we could now look into the kitchen and it was white and pretty

damn perfect 

2) Three bars located on the first floor

3) Amazingly high ceilings

4) Grand decor and fantastic lighting

5) Fireplaces which is appropriate cause its the first day of winter and winter sucks and makes you not wanna leave your house but really now you have no excuse cause there are fireplaces!

6) Tonnes and tonnes of tvs so that if people get boring you can watch some footy like a champ

7) The staff are the nicest ever!!! The chefs don't freak out when you want your bernaise sauce swapped for some lemon juice or your steamed potatoes for boiled corn which is pretty cool

Pumpkin, rocket, pine nut and smoked salmon salad ($17) 

= 10/10

this great meal was simply great and perfectly smoked

this was ordered with no feta cheese, thought that

was a bit odd having cheese and fish plus the 

west end gurl who ordered this is a vegan trying 

to eat seafood so i guess she aint a vegan no more 

but yeah good good salad!

Rump steak with mash potato and gravyy ($20)

the mash was not lumpy at all but a little hard

we did however like the tiny salad bowl it came 

cause usually the salad is spread all over the plate

in order to make it look like you've ordered more

food and less salad then you actually have which is 

very much visually misleading, but not in this case

so for the addition of a salad bowl, this dish gets a 

7/10

chicken parma ($18)

= 8/10

delicious! 

bruschetta ($6.50)

=10/10

fresh nice addition of cheese

beautifully presented

Grilled NZ salmon with veggies and lemon = PERFECT!!!!!!!!!

Finger-lickin good grilled chicken

Mighty fine pizza

NOW, BASK IN THE AMBIENCE::::::::::::::

STAY TUNED FOR OUR POST OF THE OPENING OF 

THE COCKTAIL BAR 

LOCATED ON THE SECOND FLOOR

GRAND OPENING SAT JUNE 10 2012!!!!!!

MOON FESTIVAL, CABRAMATTA

THIS IS THE SICKEST FESTIVAL EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To back up this claim, we have provided some visual evidence + captions giving reason to the sickness of Cabramatta's Moon Festival, courtesy of WEG:

^^^ cherry blossom trees + lanterns + beautiful lighting = sick

^^^ moon festival dragon parade = S.I.C.K.

^^^ shrines in every corner of every corner store = sick

^^^ dragon heads on sidewalk = sicker

^^^ headless dragons = sick

^^^ moon festival parade memorabilia + kimonos = pretty damn sickk

 

^^^^ frozen sugar ice cream balls that are only sold at paddys markets and chinese new years stalls =  so sickkkk

^^^ communal dining + magical lanterns = slightly sick

^^^ embellished pop up temples = sick

^^^ floral arrangements at pop up embellished temples = sick

^^^ beautiful colourful printed rubbish in the gutters = $$$1ck

^^^ festive rubbish (NOTE: the chop sticks/lanterns) = sorta sick

^^^ real life anime royalty = SICKCKKCKCKCCKKCCKKCKCKCKCKC

^^^ asian pagent runner up circa 2008 = so sick i almost vomited at this point from the sickness of this fully sick six sick festival

and thus concludes this memoir, of the epiphany in which we had succombed to i.e that that this festival is................................................................................................................................................................................................sick

(thus also concludes our use of the word sick for, like, the next decade, or lifetime or so)
