Korean Cafe in Sydney: My Sweet Memory (MSM)

This is my newest favourite cafe in the city.  I discovered My Sweet Memory (MSM) last year during one of the weekends we had dinner at Strathfield.  I've been hanging out in Strathfield because of the Korean shopes, cafes and restaurants there.  However, I've been discovering a few more Korean restaurants in the city of Sydney lately and this was one of them.

My Sweet Memory (MSM) is a stationery cafe located in Bathurst Street near Townhall Station.  It is a  quaint and charming cafe that serves good coffee and delectable cakes and pastries.

They have a wide array of stationery items you can buy.  They also sell shoes, bags and polaroid cameras. 

   

Cute E-postcards.  I hope they have a Sydney or Korea E-Postcard but they don't.  Instead they have Tokyo and Paris.

I've been spending all my "Me" times at MSM.  The staff are accommodating and they make good coffee.

I tried their New York Cheesecafe and it was indulgent.

Once I ordered their Coffee+Macaron for AUD$5.00.  It was a good deal but the Macaron was average.  That didn't stop me from enjoying my coffee though.

Whenever they serve your coffee, they always give a small sweet and crunchy biscuit which I love.  The biscuits are also available in packed containers should you want to bring some home.  It is also a great gift idea to loved ones.

Back from Melbourne

Just came back from a short vacation in Melbourne to celebrate my wedding anniversary with the Husband and my birthday.  We had the best time as we indulged in great company, delicious food, a bit of shopping and relaxing and watching Roger Federer play at the Rod Laver Arena.

Was able to book us a table at MoVida Aqui, the best Spanish restaurant we've ever dined in.

A jug of Sangria

Bomba

Had syphoned coffee at Sensory Lab.

Dinner at MAMASITA, the best Mexican restaurant in Melbourne.  Our dear friend Dith joined us.

Lunch at Dahon Tea, a classy Filipino restaurant in South Melbourne.  We were joined by friends Lui, Abby, Nel and little Nixie.  We also got to meet the owner and chef of Dahon Tea, Cherrie.

Had dessert at Chez Dre.  They make the best cakes and great coffee. 

Birthday brunch at my favourite brunch restaurant, The European.

Early lunch at Il Pomodoro at Federation Square.  My birthday cake came in a glass!  Creatively delicious Tiramisu.

Watched the 4th Round game of Roger Federer vs. Bernard Tomic and Caroline Wozniacki vs. Jelena Jankovic.  I was extremely happy to be watching Roger Federer on the night of my birthday.  It was spectacular to be back at Melbourne Park for the Australian Open and watch the games again.

I'm slowly shaking off my vaycay fever.  I will share every detail of our Melbourne trip, our anniversary and my birthday in the coming days.
