After biting into what felt like a billion macarons, I’m not too sure when I’ll be able to eat another one again. 5 of us crazy lunatics united in celebration of Adriano’s Birthday and his once off macaron madness. There steph, lisa, karen, shaun and I devoured a whole box in 1.5hours!

All sugared up and jittery from the sugar shock our bodies had consumed, my tongue and mouth were swollen that my appetite disappeared for approximately 1½ days. As crazy as it sounds, it was totally worth it and a achievement on trying almost every flavour :)

If macrons were preservable…

I would display it on my shelf and stare at it forever. After eating these, we discovered there were some flavours missing *sigh* =(  For more information about what flavours were available, visit -  Grab Your Fork for the full list.

I heart you..

When we first started eating the macarons, our bite sizes were a good decent size. After the first 10 our bites began to get smaller, and smaller and smaller.

I absolutely loved the following macaron flavours:
cream Bun / finger bun, chupa-chup, burnt butter amd burnt toast, rosemary and olive, rice pudding, chocolate passionfruit ,  peanut butter, cheesecake,  popcorn (as always), vegemite, goats cheese and blueberry, chocolate & red wine and iced vovo.

Store turns into a macaron fiesta!

For this special occasion, people joined the queue for macarons, some already deciding on which flavours they wanted and some were overwhelmed with the variety and suggested “give me some random macarons and surprise me”.

The Tea Room, Gunners Barracks


Gunners Barracks? Where the hell is that??? After being some what scared of driving over the god damn bridge, I had no choice but to concur my fear and drive over the stoopid thing!! I can proudly say I didn't miss an exit LOL but I admit I was shitting bricks thinking I did. Gunners Barracks had been on our high tea list for a very very long time and it seemed to be one of the places hardly anyone had visited. After this date being in the diary for approximately 3 months.. the day everyone seemed to be free turned out to be a cloudy, cold, partially rainy / sunny...

Some of us had shockingly never been to bills before so this was an important reason to wake up for some of Bill's McLovin' brunch followed by shopping with the girls and hoeing into boon...

Aki’s, Woolloomooloo


Aki’s prawn vendakai curry featured in masterchef! Back in the 90′s when growing up, Indian food was always stereotyped as looking unfriendly (considering nothing could be seen underneath that delicious curry sauce). Over the years Indian food has definitely reached the mouths of many cultures and become a cuisine where people are not afraid to...
