Travelogue Adelaide Day 3: Chocolate heaven

If it isn’t obvious enough, I love my chocolate. This just means that our tour to the Haigh’s Chocolate Factory was absolutely fantastic (I'm biased, I know).

Learning about how Haigh’s chocolates are made actually made me appreciate it even more. The different combination of cocoa beans make up that distinct flavour of your choice– dark, milk or white. And the best part? The free chocolate tastings during and after the tour! Maybe I should work there one day…

Chocolates can help you express so much more than words! Be it love, Easter holidays, Christmas holidays, thinking of you during my holiday and so much more! Hehe.

So why is Haigh’s so special? It’s unique; it’s good quality chocolate; and it's not commercialised. You can never find these in your local supermarkets. You can only find these yummilicious things in Adelaide, Melbourne or Sydney. Note: Haigh’s isn’t sold in Western Australia! >.<

Come on and give it a try. You know you want it.

Travelogue Adelaide Day 3: Candy girl!

~ Sugar! Oh honey, honey! You are my candy girl! ~

This is what happens when one mentions that there’s a lolly shop nearby. Never tell me that there is a lolly shop nearby. You’ll regret it; but Mich took me anyway.
This place is amazing. It reminds me of Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, but filled with sweets instead of toys; magical. You can find all sorts of goodies here - from imported Japanese canned drinks to Mich’s Cap N’ Crunch Cereal, and let’s not forget, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!

It took me so much willpower to exit the shop with just some Salt Water Taffy and a pack of Mega Sours. I could have done a lot worse.

Travelogue Adelaide Day 3: Treasure in the city


We woke up early for this brekkie as we looked forward to this 'treasury' in the city.


I knew I had to order the breakfast pizza- duxelle mushroom, bacon, egg and shave pecorino. I obviously had a play with food too =)


Jin, being the '80% vegetarian', had to go for the only vego option which is the poached eggs with roast mushroom, truffle pecorino and toast. However, she did change her poached to scrambled eggs.

Now, how did a carnivore end up with an omnivore?

Travelogue Adelaide Day 2: Buuuuuuuuurgers!

Imagine Homer going ''Buuurgers'' instead of ''Donutssss''.

The best burgers in town, very much Americanised. We were really looking forward to it.

Avocado and Brie with handcut fries

We wanted to try everything including the milkshake. Therefore, we had to go halves with the burger and fries... well, EVERYTHING really! It was huge. I have been there a few times now, and I was really disappointed with the handcut fries this time. It was tough for them to cope with service that very night and we waited for 45 minutes. =(

Enough with the negatives. I do love the burger, as always. Oh, do try the Mighty Mushroom too if the opportunity arises.
