Wanderlust:Chocolate High

today we went to Melbourne Central. nana has been talking abt Max Brenner for days. it's a cafe, n albeit the meaning of coffee, Max Brenner presents a refreshing alternative to the usual caffein shots ppl r so fond of nowadays. it's a chocolate cafe, where everything has chocolate in it...so u have chocolate croissant, chocolate dipped strawberries (which is divine) chocolate souffle, n a lot more.i'm a chocoholic, so i took a Venezuelean chocolate drink with milk (which i think is a tad too sweet, since i love my cocoa to be bitter) n i had souffle as well... i m more in love with the unusual cup. it's in the shape of an egg, so u have to cup it with both hands, at the same time really warming them, esp. when u have cold wind lashing at u. but when i saw the price, i changed my mind. AU30 for a cup?
nana also brought me to every baker's n cook's paradise, a chef shop selling all cooking gadgets. i even found Nigella's favourite toy the mezzaluna!!yep...bought some stuff...hmmm now i wonder if i have excess baggage....
back at the apartment, we watched Paheli (nana's a big fan of the Hindustani movies) n enjoyed strawberries n whipped cream (Janna, not stlowbeli... this is Australian accented "strawberries")
we're going to Victoria Market for the last shopping tomorrow, b4 going to the airport...
