Simple Joys

I'm so glad I booked us in for the new Scienceworks planetarium show: "Capturing the Cosmos".

The girls are not that interested in science, yet when I looked out the corner of my eye, #1 was avidly watching the show, with no sign of boredom, and afterwards when the presenter was taking questions, she was still listening closely.

The snack bags on our way out were a nice touch too. Each of us got a bag with a bottle of water, cheese and crackers, and 2 mini muffins. Thanks, Scienceworks!

Afterwards, we wandered around the exhibits and the museum shop, then voted to try a Japanese cafe that we just happened to park in front of.

The menu had a section that read like a manual of customer expectations management. I loved it - I mean, when was the last time you laughed out loud before you even ordered?

  • 1 variation to a dish is ok. 2 or more is not.
  • Don't expect Aussie portions.
  • Don't expect French-trained chefs. We only do homestyle cooking.

That menu is why I'm coming back. But I'll remember the portion size warning. Next time, I'm having a whole bento to myself!

And one more thing: the black sesame ice cream is amazing! I almost regretted sharing 2 scoops with hubby - I could have eaten it all myself.
