Art of The Brick is an immersive experience featuring sculptures built from LEGO bricks. This traveling exhibition has attracted over 2 million visitors worldwide and features more than 100 pieces! However, there aren’t many pieces brought to Melbourne. The use of lighting and projections brings out the vibrant colours of LEGO sculptures, making it quite impressive and worth seeing.

About an hour’s drive south of the Gold Coast lies Tallaringa Campsite, perfect for cozy holiday getaways with family and friends! The campsite offers a fantastic environment with vast grasslands, small lakes, forests, bridges, swings, and more, instantly immersing us in a cozy realm reminiscent of a small farm.

With a total of four people, we had the entire campsite to ourselves. There’s plenty ..read more

Upon the recommendation of a friend, we finally visited the pricey Madeleine specialty store, Madeleine de Proust. The interior decor is sleek and tasteful, with a trendy vibe! The Madeleines here are works of art. As soon as we stepped in, the exquisite Madeleines caught our eye so much that we almost hesitated to eat them. Their Madeleines are not only exquisite but also delicious, truly living up to our expectations! Since it was our first time visiting their store, the staff kindly explained the varieties of Madeleines they offer, both filled and unfilled, and recommended some popular flav ..read more

Social Fair is a newly opened multi functional playground in the Southeast. They have climbing gym, mini golf (the mini golf area is still under construction, so those interested will have to wait a bit longer!), indoor SkyGlider High Ropes similar to Treetop, and Playcenter all in one multi-functional playground, surprisingly stay open until 9 pm on weekdays. So, being night owls, we went for it again! Google and the official website said Thursday nights until 10 pm, and when we got there, they told us 9 pm. So, maybe give them a call before heading there! What we think We only had time to ch ..read more

Since booking the tickets last year, we’ve been incredibly excited about this Forbidden Forest journey! This week we headed straight to experience the thrill of the Forbidden Forest Tour of Harry Potter! There are so many magical interactive experiences to enjoy on-site. What we think It’s suggested to arrive 15 minutes early. It takes about 5 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the entrance. Before officially entering the Forbidden Forest, you can take photos at the entrance and engage in some interactive magic! If time is tight, you can experience it again after leaving the forest. The e ..read more

During the Easter holiday, we went to Dandenong again and finally visited the forest cabin (Arcadia Cottages) we’ve been wanting to visit for a long time! It rained again, but it wasn’t a bad thing at all as it added to the atmospheric experience! Arcadia Cottages offer four types of accommodations. This time, we booked the treehouse because it’s the only one with a transparent glass balcony! You can book directly through the official website, and if you book closer to the date, there might be discounts, so if you’re not in a hurry, keep an eye out for those deals! Treehouse and the glass balc ..read more

This week we finally went to the trendy Japanese brunch spot in Brunswick. Their Onigiri set is super cute! The Matcha & Hojicha drinks are not too sweet, quite enjoyable. Chooka’s is in a small alley in Brunswick, Melbourne! The name is taken from the name of the small black cat raised by the Japanese owner, Chooka’s! Located in a 1930s European-style old building! Many people on Instagram say it feels like scenes from Studio Ghibli movies! If you’re lucky, you might encounter their shop cats, there’s an orange cat & a black cat, Chooka! The main dishes are mainly the Onigiri. We ord ..read more

LeTao is the famous cheesecake from Hokkaido, Japan. There are always many people queuing at the door every time we pass by. We used to often indulge in Letao while in Japan. Letao’s rich milk flavour from Japan is exceptional, and it’s so special that once you take a bite, you can’t stop. There’s a Letao branch opened in Melbourne CBD last year. You can try their cakes for free, so you don’t have to worry about making the wrong choice. Just try the taste first, and if you like it, buy it. Last September, we bought their matcha-flavoured cheesecake and we really thought it was delicious. We en ..read more

Back when we were in Melbourne, we used to go to MEEQ often. They have a wide variety of Jellycat plushies. This week, we accidentally stumbled upon the newly opened Jellycat heaven under Westfield! Apart from the various Jellycat options – a wide range of series (teddy bears, vegetables, hamburgers, potted plants), though not exhaustive, they were still plentiful! There were also walls full of Miffy, Totoro, blind boxes, and more! Even if we didn’t buy anything, just looking around was quite enjoyable! What we think Compared to the Jellycat, we actually prefer various vegetable plush toys, th ..read more

Another limited-time retro black and white photo booth in the arts district! This year’s Melbourne PHOTO 2024 International Photography Festival not only offers a plethora of photography exhibitions but also introduces this black-and-white self-service photo booth. Unlike the one at Flinders, this one is new and only accepts card payments. What we think We went to check out this photo booth! Luckily, there weren’t many people on the weekend, so we hurried before it became too trendy. It costs 8 dollars per session, and each session allows you to take 4 photos! Upon entering the booth, you sit ..read more
