Sydney - Pastries and Coffee

Two things that I have a lot while I was in Sydney are its coffee and pastries.

A decent latte or mocha might cost at least S$4 (unless you’re talking about the good old coffee in the kopitiam, which is less than a dollar) in Singapore. In Sydney, at A$2.50 to A$3.50, I usually be able to get myself a decent cup of coffee, so that’s a pretty good thing for a coffee-addict like me.

However, when it comes to pastries, to be frank, I didn’t really like the pastries in Sydney. They’re usually too sweet for my palate. Many times I feel like I’m eating a “sugar bomb” or something. I guess I still miss those lovely pastries that I had while I was in Switzerland. But I have to admit, the pastries all look so delicious and have these “come-eat-me” kind of touch on them that I kept ordering them when I was in Sydney! I did come across a really great pastry shop while at “The Rocks” but I never remember its name because it’s one of those “grab-and-go” session. It’s croissant was delicious!


Chocolate Muffin


Waffles. It’s actually called “Snow White”, interesting name. I got it at Paddington Market.


Fudge - 10 different flavours in a box. I also got it at Paddington Market.
