First things first; get rid of those sore muscles and back pain. After work why don’t you pop down to Kerry’s Traditional Chinese Massage Centre to get those nasty computer knots out. Traditional Chinese massage is effective in reducing chronic pains and helping with muscle and overall relaxation. At Kerry’s Traditional Chinese Massage Centre you can indulge in a Chinese massage, or try Gua Sha also known as cupping. This technique is used to mobilise blood flow to heal specific parts of the body and can be effective on areas of the body such as the shoulders or back. Step into this centre in Darwin and relax into the comfortable bed for a massage or cupping to release any tension. This first stop off will leave you relaxed and ready to brave the week ahead.

The Noodle House on Mitchell Street in the middle of Darwin is the perfect place to go for an amazing dinner out. With alfresco dining to enjoy the best tropical weather in Australia, you can sit down in this restaurant and instantly feel at home in the modern décor with an Asian influence. This award-winning restaurant serves up Asian dishes of all sorts (not just traditional Chinese meals) and has a huge menu with lunch, dinner and takeaway options. Choose from delectable entrees such as spicy salted quail or steamed oysters with garlic. Dive into a hearty main, whether it is noodle soup, a pork, chicken, beef or seafood stir-fry. One highly recommended dish is the generous serving of mud crab served in black bean sauce. If you’re still finding it hard to choose a meal, pick from one of the Chef’s recommendations including spicy salted bugtail with black pepper or mapo bean curd with wild chilli sauce. At the end of the night, you can indulge in one of their desserts such as the deep fried ice cream and be happy you chose not to cook tonight. If all you want to do is curl up on the couch after your relaxing massage, make sure to order your meal to go.
