I ate lunch at Syd and Mel’s with my friend Ana in Itaewon today and their amazing photos in the stairwell leading up to the cafe got me all nostalgic and missing Australia. My tript ot he Great Ocean Road was organized by my university in NSW, and it’s definitely on my list of things to go back and “do better”.
Additional note, Syd and Mel’s was delicious and I highly recommend the Sydney Cristo. It’s a Monte Cristo that’s all greasy and fried up the way it should be. They also served fresh fruit with it. With a 14,000 won price tag it’s a bit much but really not bad for Itaewon dining. Plus they give you a beverage, and the coffee is Americano. I couldn’t help but be reminded of all the coffee I drank when living in Oz (those lates club nights and ummm occasional attendance to morning courses) and how lovely life there was. Sigh. Back soon, love.
Agh, forgot to mention. The music was terrible at Syd and Mel’s. This really wretched Christmas music with terrifying voices and sound effects. I’ll go back after the holidays to do some more solid investigating of the usual music, which has to be better than the utter crap they were playing today.
