Australian Goodies

By | Travel, Yummy! | No Comments

Of course, a trip to the supermarket is a MUST in Heart2Heart’s travels!  I love looking and trying things we do not find here in our country.  There seems to be so many flavors and varieties of the normal things we have here… 

I am amazed at the variety of crackers, crostinis and bread sticks they have!  I am imagining all the yummy dips that can go with them…and since i cannot try all of them, I feast my eyes and just take photos of them!

Chocolateria San Churros

By | Travel, Yummy! | 3 Comments

The two magic words – Chocolateria and Churros!  We were walking down Bondi to get to our restaurant and we saw this – of course we stopped and had our dessert before we even had our lunch!  We are a churros loving family!  They have a window showing the churros being made- so of course it tempted us even more!!

Though the churros is not exactly the ones we have in Spain, they were okay.  They had even a choice to have in milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate, dulce de leche, and churros with ice cream and many other ways of eating churros,  which normally is not available in Spain.  What I liked about the place was the way they set up the shop- it is so well planned, organized, beautiful back counters which normally are not thought of.  Even the take away packaging was so nice!

Haigh’s Chocolates

By | Travel, Yummy! | 2 Comments

Geraldine took me back home and before saying goodbye she showed me this chocolate shop at the Strand.  Haigh’s is an Australian brand.  Geraldine of course bought chocolate and brought a recipe to go with it so she could try out a new baked product 🙂

I noticed several chocolate shops around Australia, I wish I had taken photos of all of them.
