We celebrated National Day in our own way with some R & R lol.
Movie: The Last Airbender (3D)
I brought the girls to watch the movie, The Last Airbender (3D) as we have been following the animated series on tv. :) The movie tried to follow the animated series but I think it falls short as there were gaps and the movie felt jerky. :( But I guess if you haven't seen the animated series, the movie is entertaining. If you are a follower of the animated series, then you might be a tad disappointed. But the fighting scenes are quite good lol. :)
The girls certainly didn't feel as disappointed about the movie as I did. They really enjoyed watching it. During the big fighting scene towards the end of the movie, I thought the 3D effect was really good as I could almost feel as if Aang, the avatar was water-bending right next to me. Hang on, it's Juliane! Goodness, I have no idea how long she has been doing that. When I turned my head, she was moving her hands in the air in unison with Aang's water bending movements. She's lucky she didn't get scolded by the patrons sitting behind her. Sigh. Maybe should let her take up taiji, which is what the water-bending movements borrowed from, since she wants to "water bend" so much lol. She even asked to be renamed as Kitara! Sigh.
Food: The Pump Room
Since we were at Great World City for the movie, we went to The Pump Room for some Aussie chow after the movie lol.
Juliane had Grilled Chicken Breast with Mashed Potato and Vegetables ($10) and Marieann had Mini Chicken Burger with Fries ($10). I had a Down Under Crocodile Pie with oriental mushroom and green tomato chutney ($32). The crocodile meat which was braised in white wine, chicken stock and vegetables tasted just like chicken, just a bit tougher. The girls refused to try it haha. For dessert, we had Steamed Cream Cheese, Passion Fruit Custard Tart with Coconut Crumble ($10) and Soft-centred Pavlova with Berry and Blood Orange Curd ($10). The girls had white chocolate ice cream with raspberry which was on the house. The management could not allow a request which we totally understood. But they decided to do something for the girls, thus the ice cream on the house. Thumbs up for their attention to details and their great service!
