Day 3
Bondi 

Autumn weather has been kinda trippy lately. some days are really cold and grey and others are hot and sunny... its so unpredictable and at times just annoying. So i thought I'd make the most of today's nice weather and go to Bondi


Originally I wanted to have lunch @ Hurricanes but it wasnt opened....   And considering that I don't normally go to Bondi, I didn't know where to eat. So whatever shop that was opened and looked half decent, is where I went to eat.


After strolling up and down Campbell Parade, we finally settled for Il Puntino. It looked quite old and

warm inside but we chose to sit outside. better view of the beach.



We sat down, had a look over the menu. I chose the chicken Caesar salad and bf had the T-bone steak with vegetables. then we waited...
we waited for quite a while... and considering that there was only 1 other customer sitting near us, was it necessary to wait THAT long....
finally some garlic bread came out. we didnt order it but was told that the garlic bread was on the house. (Probably to make up for bad service)
toasted focaccia bread spread with garlic oil on top. was quite nice


( toasted goodness)

Our meals came out 15-20mins later... boy was the wait long... when my Caesar salad came out, it was drenched in dressing... when placing my order, i asked them to put it on the side... i guess they forgot that...
( $16.50)
The egg was the yummiest part of the salad. Not too firm, not runny but soft. 

The bf's steak was too much of a disappointment to bother taking a picture of it... think of a simple home cooked t-bone steak with steamed broccoli, potato and carrots on the side, along with a little pot of packet mushroom sauce... Even I could cook up a better steak than that... and the t-bone steak wasn't medium rare nor was much of the meat edible... definitely was not worth $26

We finished our meal while gazing at this
When we stood up to go pay, a waiter came out and insisted me stay and have a coffee, on the house. After pausing a moment, we decided to stay since we still had time left on our parking



The food wasnt bad, just wasnt great, however because we were at Bondi, it made the outting even more enjoyable.

Dont think I'll ever bother going to this restaurant again...
