Sweet Infinity, The Strand

I have fallen into my own trap, I call it the lazy trap. As you can see the last blog I posted was more than a month ago when my family was here visiting. So this week with much hesitation I forced myself out of my laziness and start blogging again.

Last week when I was looking for a camera strap at The Strand, I stumbled upon Sweet Infinity. I have been wanting to go to Sweet Infinity at Woolloomooloo for quite some time now, but I can't see to find the time to do it. I was quite disappointed to find a limited selection of cakes, nevertheless I still managed to leave the shop with a box of goodies.

Sweet Infinity is famous for its brownies, they make around 400 a week. As a chocolate lover, this is one treat not to be miss! Unfortunately I was not entirely satisfied with the brownie, to be honest I've tasted better ones. The outer layer was almost too crispy and crumbly for my liking, however the texture inside was soft. Mostly it just tasted of sugar, which overpowers the chocolate flavour.

My two(2) favourites would be the custard berry tart and lemon meringue tart. They come in two(2) sizes, small and regular. Since I wanted to try both flavours, I opted for the more reasonably (less greedy) small size. The custard berry tart, which was topped with fresh blueberries has a milder flavour compared to the lemon meringue. However if you are a HUGE fan of lemon meringue like myself, then you will love the burst of citrus flavour as you bite through it.

When it comes to tarts, I love the pastry to be just crumbly enough to bite and not overly sweet custard filling. I have to admit that both tarts delivered the same excellent consistency in the pastry and filling.

The chocolate wafer mousse was such a delicious treat. Its small bite size made it so innocent for me to have more than just one. Crunchy chocolate wafer filled with soft dark chocolate mousse that was sweet enough and topped with a blueberry for a touch of freshness.

Head over to Sweet Infinity at The Strand or Woolloomooloo for an afternoon tea indulgence. You can also grab a quick lunch - delicious selection of pies and sandwiches to choose from.

Friday Night with Mrs. Fields

After having desserts two(2) days in a row, I told myself "Better give my husband & myself a break". But then being the good husband, he bought us one(1) brownie each from Mrs. Fields while he was running some errands this afternoon. They were the Double Chocolate Brownie and Macadamia Fudge Brownie for $3.20 each.

I had the Double Chocolate Brownie to myself! and a bite of the Macadamia Fudge Brownie. Both taste pretty much the same, slightly too sweet for my liking, with the only difference was the added macadamia nuts.

The way I like to eat my brownie is to heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds (warm enough and the chocolate chips are slightly melting) and with a good spoonful of vanilla ice-cream.

I just can't get enough of chocolat!

Phillippa's Belgian Chocolate Brownie

I made a short trip to Melbourne over the weekend and came back with the best gift ever from a very close family friend. As soon as I got into the car, she took out this little devil from a bag and told me that this is one of Melbourne's yummiest brownie. The trick though (as advised by the expert) is to heat it up in the microwave for a good couple of seconds until it's warm and slightly melting. She also emphasized that I have to eat it with a scope of vanilla ice-cream. Tell you what, always listen to the expert's advise!

Melted chocolate brownie never tasted so good before...
