Movenpick

To view all pictures in this post, simply click on the ‘Movenpick’ title above When I was in high school, my BFF and I used to eat a crapload of chocolate. We’d sort of go a few days with no sweets, and then – boom – good bye Mr Cadbury. We’d very calmly demolish [...]

Bittersweet Chocolate Boutique Review

I love chocklit The other Saturday I was at a loss with what to do with myself. Friends were busy or working; D was away; even my own mother didn’t have time for her favourite child (it’s true, I am the favourite. When my brothers aren’t around she tells me. Ha ha ha). So, what doe[...]

My Sweetopia Review

Fancy Cakes There is something about cupcakes that really bothers me. Or rather, there is something about how other people view cupcakes that really bothers me. A cupcake does not have to just be a pretty little cake made with plain vanilla batter, topped with some tasty yet plain icing, and a sugar[...]

Area profile: South Bank

All the Colours of the Food Rainbow South Bank used to have a beverage that my friends and I thought was the ultimate in culinary delights: the Rainbow Smash. I can hear you all sneer, “Oh, it’s just a frozen coke.” It is not just a frozen coke. It is a Rainbow SMASH, people. It[...]

Coffee and Chocolate Mini Review

Pretty but Pricey Everyone loves teeny tiny chocolates, especially when they’re displayed in a glass case. People crouch in front of the case, making little ‘ooh’ noises, and giving murmurs of advice to their friends on which chocolate to get. On a recent pit stop at Coffee &[...]

Rosalie Gourmet Market Round-Up

Deli-cious God I love delis. They’re exciting places. So much food and produce is just crammed into a small space. I feel like Charlie Bucket in a deli. But there are no Oompah Loompahs (I find them freakish and they scare me). There’s only rich chocolatey brownies, fresh meats, stuffed [...]

Max Brenner’s Review

Sweet Anticipation We’re going to venture a little further afield with this review. Pretend it’s EatDrinkGoldCoast, just for a moment. I just spent the weekend at the coast with my homeslice. We had been looking forward to relaxing, enjoying the warm weather, and spending quality time to[...]

5th Element Review

Unique Treat Lately, desserts have been making me sad. Caramel slice. Baked cheesecake. Even the humble chocolate mud has been getting me down. Don’t get me wrong, classics like these will always have a special place in my heart, along with things like Degrassi Junior High and Brad Pitt. It is[...]

Sugar and Spice Mini Review

And All Things Nice What are little Allys made of? Sugar and spice and all things nice, that’s what little Allys are made of. Well, in reality, I was sweaty, wearing old gym clothes, and probably didn’t smell that fantastic. But at that moment, sitting in Sugar and Spice in the city, I f[...]

Jindalee Bakery Mini-Review

Suburban SweetsHigh school can be a difficult time. Exams, peer pressure, bullies, break ups, puberty. FUN. There was one thing that got many of us through the day: tuckshop. Before everyone got too fat and lollies were banned, school tuckshops were a delight for dougnut lovers. Scoff if you will-bu[...]
