Foodcraft Espresso & Bakery, Erskineville

I left Sydney before the hits of this tella-thingy things.  By now, probably everyone already know and try one of this.  This is basically milkshake drink topped with doughnut balls (nutella, salted caramel, vanilla or strawberry).  Having just one full glass of this, my sugar level was rising up and I became a little hyper after that.  But taste wise was yummm.  They have a nice steak sandwich as well, made fresh in the shop.

Wow, Swiss Valley Hip Resort!!! What can I say!!!  It is a great resort.  The most luxury around the area according to many reviews and my own experience.  Once you enter the front gate, it was like a journey itself.  The entrance leads you to the huge lawn, on the left hand side they have a vineyard while on the other side is an open lawn with free-running horses.

When we arrived at the car park, there was a buggy waiting for us to take us to the reception area.  This place is definitely suit for family and kids.  Most of the people who come to Suan Phueng and stay else where, they normally need visit the Scenery Vintage Farm.  But if you stay in Swiss Valley Hip Resort, you will have your own farm to run around, horse to ride on and sheep to feed.  It is inclusively privilege only for people who stay here.

on the left is our home for tonight

The room is so spacious, I didn't expect it will be this huge though.  More like a house, I'd say.  Complete with small pantry-like without stove, big bathroom, bathtub in the middle of the room, and unused fire place in the corner.  And the roof top relaxing and barbeque area on the second floor.

Each house has different style and size.  Some even comes with a private swimming pool. 





There are dolls everywhere that you can play with but not allow to take home.  It's keeping my son busy for awhile.  They also gave us complimentary hats. (as picture above)

Swimming pool

This place is very good to visit in the winter season.  With the farm-theme parks in the area, it will be too hot in summer time.  However, the negative side is we could not swim as the water is too cold.

Instead, we do soaking in our own bathtub

Pad thai goong

I'm always into in-room dining.  I like the feeling of having a nice meal in our pajama.  Great thing to do before end the night.

Deep fried sun-dried pork

Creamy pumpkin soup

Blueberry yogurt smoothie

This was the best smoothie I ever had.  Quite big statement but it was true.  Since then I keep trying this drink in any shops but none can beat from this resort.

We had our lunch at one of the well-known steak restaurant in Suan Phueng, in Royal Good View Resort & Farm.  Once we had ordered the food, me and my son spent some time in the farm while waiting for the food.  Fed the hungry sheep and took some nice pictures around the farm.

Sizzling corn

Fermented sausage fried rice

Pork chop steak

Deep fried battered mushroom

Deep fried lemongrass chicken

The food here was pretty good, but those deep fried lemongrass chicken are absolutely winner.  The fragrant smell of lemongrass, crisp yet succulent inside of chicken then topped with crispy shredded lemongrass was totally finger-licking good.
