Lindt Cafe + Soul Kitchen

On a spontaneous Tuesday, me and a friend (Minna) went to Lindt Cafe @ Martin Place, after uni. We walked up and down Martin Place a few times, and completely missed it - had to ask several newspaper seller stands where it was, only to have it pointed out that we were right in front of it.

Funnily enough, we didn't have any chocolate (gasp) but instead ordered Iced Coffee, Ice tea and two delices. aka. MACARONS. The Iced Coffee was fantastic, creamy and just enough bitter - but the Iced tea was a tad bit strange. Though it was advertised as being made fresh daily in store from high quality tea, it was really just chilled tea in water with a wedge of lemon and maybe a drop of honey. Macarons were beautiful, and tasty - but still not as good as Adriano Zumbos or the Renaissance Bakery at the rocks. (speaking of which I ALMOST drove to balmain today to buy Macarons but fought the urge :)) I'm still curious though, what are they filled with? The filling isn't creamy enough to be buttercream, and it's definitely not ganache. Any ideas people?



Also, as you may or may not have read on Bosco's blog, Christine, Bosco and me went to watch German Film: SOUL KITCHEN! It was pretty good, very dramatic and overall a fun fun movie. It gave me mixed feelings about becoming a chef though - crappy hours, stuck in the kitchen, dangerous environment - oh but the glory of knife chopping skills!

Aha - dramatic lighting from Circular Quay's Dendy Cinemas.

Love you all :) Have a fantastic weekend kiddies!
