Today, we decided to have a day trip by car from Sydney to Blue Mountains. Enjoy our food and travel vlog that will be great guide for you to enjoy a weekend gateway from Sydney. First, we visited Mountain High Pies in Wentworth Falls for their award winning pies. They have won several awards in Great Aussie Pie Competition and Australia's Best Pie and Pastie Competition.
Trip to Blue Mountains will not complete without hike so we decided to check out Wentworth Falls and did the easy hike Fletcher's Lookout. For lunch, we went to Unique Patisserie which undoubtedly hidden gems in Blue Mountains. This patisserie in Katoomba is actually serving Malaysian and Asian food. If you are in Blue Mountains and wondering what to eat, try the Assam Laksa from Unique Patisserie. Other Malaysian dishes include Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang, Char Kway Teow, Chicken Laksa and Nasi Goreng. We had takeaway coffee and cinnamon croissant from Black Cockatoo Bakery which was really good as well just a shop down from Unique Patisserie.
Empress Falls is one of the hidden waterfalls in Wentworth Falls area, the walk was about 1 hour return with a lot of stairs and some steep steps but it is really worth the hike. Whilst driving back to Sydney, we had dinner at Lawson Chinese Restaurant owned by our friend Vincent from dimsimlim.

Omg finally someone noticed this gem in Katoomba! I studied at the hotel school over there and as a Malaysian and especially from Penang myself, I would say the asam laksa is very authentic. This vlog brings back a lot of memories for me!
Thanks Kelvin!! They deserve lots of love, agree this is a gem💎 so glad our Malaysian friend recommended this place to us :)
thoroughly enjoyed this episode, good work Nick & Helmi!
Thank you❤😊
Always love how honest you both are about how good or bad the food is. Enjoyed this vlog, immensley!
Aww thanks laura 🤗
Yes, I love waterfalls!! Worth the walks!
Great video, thank you!!
Thanks justin😊
Aww I just saw this! You 2 are soooo cute
😂 🎉🎉🎉 thank you
Another great video. Thank you very much✌️
Thanks so much🎉
always fun to watch...thanks so much
Thank you😊🥰
2020 pie award winner! yum the curry pie and the chicken pie both looked really yum. Its interesting that you have to go to the country side to get good pies in Aussie. Blue mountains looks like a really nice spot especially since it is so close to Sydney. The mist makes everything more dramatic.
As visitors from USA, your wonderful video was our guide for our Blue Mountain visit. We even dropped by Mountain High Pies for dinner - delicious! Thanks again and keep up the awesome content!
Thank you seth - so happy we could help you out on your visit 🙏🏻🤗🤗🤗
Loved your vlog. This is one of our favourite places ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much🥰
Ooh looks like a nice weekend getaway you guys!! Those mountain pies are worth the drive!! Curry beef!!! 😍❤
Wow the views around the waterfall are stunning 😍😍
I know right🤩 if it's clear sunny day, would be much better view 💕
Omg the waterfall is absolutely beautiful 😍 I love those types of places to visit. Great food too guys, thanks for sharing
Thanks angie🤩🙏🏼
it's good to see you going out!! after so long time without seeing some nice outdoors like this!
the drone is also happy to be flying again!! 😉
Absolutely, both hooman and drone are happy to be out again 😂
Glad they tested the depth of that water before they jumped or dived in! Beautiful part of the world; need to make a trip out there one day. Thanks for sharing! Even the bloopers 😃👍
Thank you so much🙏🏼
Daaaaamnnn that view of the waterfalls 😍😍😍
Sooo pretty 🤩
The restaurant at Lawson Bowlo is legendary! And great to see the patisserie in Katoomba ... never knew about it before 😉
Hehe thanks anne😁🙌🏻
Glad to see you guys having Malaysia food in this episode! Ren-Deeeng 😆 I cannot too hahaha!!
Lolll😂😂 high five! Hahaa
Oh man, we've been meaning to try an Aussie Pie spot here in Chicago. And now we have the motivation that we need. Looks so darn good.
You guys should try it! Hehe
Hey Guys, the video is so awesome. The video quality and resolution is superb. Can you please share which camera/gears you use for the video shoot. Thanks
Classic switch up to start, well done Nick ;) Beef and curry in a pie is definitely not the first type of pie an American would think of, but something I'd love to try out!
Haha thanks guys 😉
Carbs and hiking go hand in hand. We learned that the hard way. Haha And Chinese food sound like an amazing idea too. That Mongolian meat.... wow!!
Thank you for your great videos Nick & Helmi and the 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 gimme 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪
Thanks Justin👍🏻😎
been past lawson bowlo plenty of times but never picked it to have a decent resturant inside. i'll check it out someday!
That Satay chicken, Mongolian beef, I can smell that from here lol.. looks delish guys!!
Yum yum chef is in the video too. Good stuff.
Hehe yeah :) he's really nice 🙂
So good 😊
I love that peanut cookie too! 😍
Soooo good☺
all food in this episode looks great!! from those pies full of gravy to the mongolian beef!!
no fried ice cream for Helmi?!
Too full hahaha😅
Love waterfalls and trekking, but as you know Lieles isnt a big fan of walking period 😂😂
That place is magical, totally see why you love it so much. Happy you guys got to travel there
Haha come on Nick, back flip on in to the waterfall... gotta come prepared man!
My back will hate me after the flip lol 🤣
A bit of history. Back in the 1980’s as a child my family would regularly go to Young’s Chinese Restaurant which was in the exact shop that now houses Unique Patisserie. I recognised it from the pitched wood ceiling!
I love the Lawson bowlo Chinese, the food is excellent. I’m so glad you guys went there.
Ohh wow so unique patisserie kept the shop decor 💯 we love lawson chinese and plus our friend too so extra special hehe
That’s a beautiful waterfall😍😍. Never went on a hike at Blue Mountain
You should Mila, so beautiful 🥰
I like hidden gems!!! Get away to the mountains!!! Haha curry beef sounds so yummy inside a pie! First time
Thanks vic & mikki🤩
Whoa dimsimlim, love his content 👏👏
Always mesmerised by his wok skill on TikTok 🔥🤩
Yeah dimsimlim the wok master🔥
I have tried the those pies they are nice and Wentworth falls is beautiful ,The Malaysian food looks so yummy and Chinese looks so good I have to try that satay etc ..Great video and filming guys ..x🥰❤️
Glad you enjoy it too! Thank you Irena😊🙏🏼
Omg , finally you tried out my suggestion, those were the exact pies 🥧 I ordered for myself and my hubby when we visited blue mountains . Guess what surprised me surprised 😲 !!! you are sitting on the same table we sat. Love you both 😍. Hope to do a vlog with you two soon.
Oh my gosh what a coincidence!! Thank you for the suggestion🙏🏼😊
Awesome love to go there ❤️
Gotta go 💕
I like that 80% of the video is covering the food and 20% is your hiking 😁
Talk about a good balance 🤣
Thanks for sharing these hidden gem cafes and restaurants! Will be very useful if we want to go to Blue Mountains again one day 👌🏻
Those country pies and bakery items are always the best things during road trip.
What a beautiful video ! Are you videographers . If you are not ones , you should become ones .
GREAT
Unique patisserie is the best.. I loveeeeee the creme brulee
Sooo good right🎉
As Malaysians, I'm very proud that you enjoyed a Malaysian foods
Of course its delicious!
We really appreciae when you don't have to trek so far from the car park for the view... just gotta make sure to get to those spots early to beat the crowd 😂
That Cocky looks like it stuck its head down a chimney!
I don't mind Mountain High but I think Pie in the Sky at Bilpin or South Windsor Pies does a better job. Glenorie aren't bad either. One thing Mountain High do make that is very nice is the warm custard tart.
Great video! Have you guys tried Five Guys in Penrith? So much hype about it. I live around the corner and its always busy. Also, Brothers Burgers opened in Penrith. Its a burger joint from the Phillipines I am excited to try.
Not yet - been wanting to try Five Guys, many people complain about the price, so keen to try it🤣 Ahh never heard of Brothers Burgers, we might go Penrith for all burgers then 😊
nice drone work guys !!!
Thank you David 😊🙏🏼
Blue mountains, didn't you guys make a video about this place before?
Oh yes, pies first!
Yesss😊
If you have some extras, send some of that satay chikcen and mongolian beef over to us!
The pies look amazing 😋 I love how they put chunks of meat in them! I find that most pies just have a lot of gravy and not much meat in them haha
Same here loll
Hi Nick and Helmi, have you checked out the Blue Mist Cafe [7/8 Station St, Wentworth Falls NSW 2782]? They are fantastic!
Oh not yet, will check out when we go back, thank you😊
🌝🌲🌲Welcome to my Backyard guy's 🌲🌲🌝 Great Video, thankyou!
:D yes
I remember Vincent from the Lawson bowling club- known for the good Chinese food. Vincent took over from his father around 5 yrs ago. I have to stop moving
Ahh yeah he's been in lawson for sometimes now :)
I’m going to Katoomba in a few months. I like spicy food but my friend does not. What would recommend for both of us in the Unique Bakery?
If you want to get a good pie definitely need to check Woolies freezer aisle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ! 4 pies for less than $6 haha
Hahaa you know what we love pies from Herbert Adams - Coles/Woolies freezer 😁
You missed the Japanese place up the hill for excellent Japanese & you missed the Blue Mist cafe in Wentworth Falls - great food
Ohhh! Next time! Thabjs Hailey hehe
Nick and Helmi you guys have such good appetite.... "We're full lets just order one more" proceeds to order two massive dishes and then gets 2 free dishes hahahahahaha I know that feeling guys. Man if only Nick jumped in the waterfall with his undies hahahahaha.
Campsie has some good places for laksa, incl Asam Laksa. Along Beamish.
Oh which Malaysian restaurant? Albee's kitchen?
@@nickandhelmi Cinta Rasa is good but for the Asam Laksa (per others because I prefer the curry laksa) try Malaysia Small Chilli. I haven’t been to either since “freedom day” but have frequented both regularly before. They are at the other end of Beamish from Albees (also good but prefer Small Chilli or Cinta Rasa).
Oh sorry, Helmi you couldn't vote. But hey, Malaysian food 😍😀
Those noodles look so creamy and delish. Yes, let's not start a food war. We have plenty of examples of dishes that can be claimed by 2 or more countries, sometimes it's better just to enjoy all the versions. Helmi looks so happy eating that, I just want it!
Hahaha yeah let's not start the food wars🤣
You have to have the deep-fried ice cream!! Who says no to that??
Oh, we never had unlimited rice in NY Chinese restaurants hahaha, We would be twice our size if that was an option.
Wow! Good for him and his 1M TikTok followers!
Bottomless rice haha😂
good video
Thank you Joseph☺🙏🏼
Awwh that's a nice looking pie!! 😍 Some NZlanders might argue they have better ones 😜 They need better curries to impress the Asians, especially from Indonesia 😆
HAHAHA😆
If you are an Australian citizen, you have to turn up at a polling booth and get your name ticked off (though you do not have to actually cast a vote while you are there). You will receive a letter asking you if you can explain why you didn't vote. If you respond to the letter, most likely you will not receive the fine. They are only usually sent to people who don't even bother. Explain what happened and you won't be fined.
Thank you for the video. Have a really wonderful week!
Ahh thank you Daniel🙏🏼😊 Have a great week too! :)
No prices shown?
C'mon Nick you should have gotten in the waterfall. Next time get a towel in your car, just in case, you never know why you would need it for.
Blue town? hahaha the smurfs are there!
LOLLL
You didn't get the peas and pumpkin & gravy topping- The pies are really good. You have no idea how popular that place is
We needed you there to tell us!! Hehe
LOL I think Indonesian or Malaysian, just as long the food is great, that's all that matters 😋
Japanese bath house at Lithgow
Oh yes we've been to sparadise once, sooo relaxing 🥰
i voted online, ahead of time too
Yeah i tried to register ivote on that day but website crashed 🥺 so didnt get a chance to register & vote :(
@@nickandhelmi that sucks, was the first time council voting was avaiklable online. we voted early and told a friend who also told her coworkers and they just laughed at her saying she doesnt know what shes talking about
Nick, did you seek permission from Blue Mountains council for flying the drone or it's allowed? I have a mini 2 but still unsure til now if I can fly it in the mountains. Cheers.
You can fly in national park but you will need an approval if you fly it from the park itself. You can check open sky app for more info and yes you need permission from the park. Sometime i just fly from outside the national park area.
@@nickandhelmi, thanks for sharing. This is a really good content, my wife and I enjoyed watching it. Cheers.
That's some good looking assam laksa. Never compare or you'll start a war. Hahaha
Sooo true LOL
We try the pies today. It's pretty average.
Yup as we said - it was okay overall was pretty toned down the taste 🤔 still haven’t found incredible pies in sydney yet! 😂
THATS MY DAD’S SHOP OMG
Which one😄
The short one😔😂
The guy in the green shirt
Please don't go to the Yellow Delli opposite Aldi on the corner - they are a cult- I nearly got hooked in
Where’s the sauce?
I've never had a chicken pie that's tender..... as i believe most recipes use breast meat... so since high school, never bought a chicken pie...
Haha let's stick with beef or lamb😅
In Australia you will need to find the answer to your question outside of social media. They keep deleting my answers! Grr Sorry, I tried to point you to the right place to get the answers…about 3 times!!
Omg how come it keep got deleted?😅 we didnt do anything hehe
Your excuse is the website crashed which it did
Hahah it did actually ! We tried the ivote
dont get fat
🤞🤞
