Magnum Sydney Pleasure Store

We had a wonderful Magnum experience this afternoon. We had lunch at Westfield Pitt St.Mall and decided to have ice cream bar for dessert. Wow! There was a great variety of fancy toppings to choose from. They had rose petals, rose praline, crushed meringue, sea salt, goji berries and dried raspberries to name some. For AUD7 each, I guess, it was worth the experience.












Aroma Festival at The Rocks

Two Sundays ago, I went to see the annual Aroma (coffee) Festival. I first attended this festival in 2009. It was my first winter here in Sydney. I was overwhelmed with the amount of people and of course, the food sampling and coffee varieties available. I again went the following year. Seeing almost the same, I didn't go the following two years.

Thinking I might find something interesting this year, I went.  The number of people doubled since the last time I went. I can hardly walk in some parts of the area. There were long queues everywhere I go. It's quite disappointing for you can't enjoy the event anymore. I hope it won't be a one day event next time.

I sampled a ginger drink which was really nice tasting. A little bit sad that the variant I want to buy is not available in smaller bottle.

Anyway, here's a sneak peek into the event.
