A walk along the city south

Yes we've been there before; yes it's old favourites; but just like comfort food, these classics will never be out of favour with us. Maybe, the day salted caramel falls out of favour with the general population, I'll eat avocado for a change (*NB avocado, along with oysters, are two of my food aversions*)

Anyway, it was a spectacular autumn day in Sydney - gloriously blue sky, warm sunshine, and we strolled. First stop Coffee Tea & Me, which turns out to be a hole in the wall but it serves spectacular coffee (Campos) that seem very popular among the locals. But we decided to move on to our next stop Breadfern, with their tempting pastries and beautiful rustic breads. I opted for a simple chocolate croissant, flaky and chocolatey, and a large skinny flat white..... breakfast done. Happy.

Serious dessert was served at La Renaissance Waterloo. La Renaissance is dear to us dessertees, it's never failed to impress. It was their macaron that I first fell in love with, a simple French vanilla creme icing. Simplicity done perfectly.

It was tempting to go for some of our old favourites, but there were new items in that counter! So we had two pieces of art today - Music by Vivaldi and painting by Monet. Seriously. Chocolate and orange with pistachio was symphony to my taste buds, and as much as we devour food with our mouths, we eat with our eyes. Thank you Monet, for a raspberry and lychee masterpiece, that was delectable both with our eyes and our tongues.

The joy! Happiness was autumn sun, beautiful desserts, great company.

It was a gorgeous day out, pity we couldn't have more as we're a bit sweet'ed out. But a sunny walk was all that we needed ^_^

And our next adventure? June Homebake! Theme = "Stressed" : You do realise stressed spelt backwards is desserts, right? So bring us a dessert that destresses - and lets chill and forget about the woes of the world, if only for a short while!
