Canteen Menu

Last Thursday, the John Therry Catholic College Year 9 Chinese elective students spent the day in Sydney's Chinatown. We had the opportunity to pay a visit to two local venues in Chinatown, notably Spice alley and the Chinese Garden of Friendship. Spice alley was a replica of what many Asian and Singapore food alleyways would appear as. We came upon some amazing artworks displayed around the walls and flooring of the street, having  stopped to take photos and have a stroll through the block.  

Afterwards, we took a stroll around some of the bustling streets while taking in some of Sydney's most well-known skyscrapers and structures. We made the decision to explore the garden as soon as we got there. Seeing some of the breathtaking vistas and watching the koi fish being fed. Local water dragons inhabited most of the garden; some were sunbaking and devouring bugs along the path, whereas others were hiding on the rocks surrounding the pond. We took pictures of the garden settings that caught our eye after seeing the spectacular display of a traditional Chinese dragon portrayed next to the wishing well. I opted to take pictures of the waterfall myself, taking a few images of the scrubs and other vegetation around the garden. 

Following our visit to the garden, we made our way through some of Chinatown's streets, observing the entrance gate with attention and taking in some of the eateries and stores in the area. We had a variety of traditional foods, such as dumplings, fried rice, and beef and pork noodles  at the local Noodle House Restaurant for lunch. Following lunch, we took part in an incredible race of activities where we had to go through the streets and finish objectives that Mr. Bateman had given us. Suddenly it was time to catch the next train home!
