Take Me To Australia

November 19th, 2006

there are two reasons why everyone should migrate to Australia.


number one: Tim Tams.

i met up with Johann the other day, and the darling brought me Tim Tams from melbourne!!! :D he got me 2 flavours, the original and strawberry, and the strawberry ones are omgSOgood. good enough for me to finish the whole pack before i even remembered to take pictures of them.

but no fear, i’ve got piccies of the other pack!

i know i know, they look very unassuming, but you HAVE to know that Tim Tams are so super yummy they make your toes curl. a Tim Tam is made up of a creamy chocolate filling sandwiched between two layers of the damn best-tasting biscuit in the world, and then the whole thing dipped in a coat of milk chocolate. and if you think that sounds good, the strawberry-flavoured one is even BETTER. the strawberry cream is just out of this world, with this marshmallowy texture that’s too high-quality for the price you get them for.

*sigh*

reason number two as to why everyone should migrate to Australia : Pods.

Johanny and i were at this supermarket in HK, just looking for cute stuff to buy, when he spotted Pods and told me how ‘addictively good’ they were. the box said ‘with Snickers’ and ‘ingeniously crunchy’. so, okay no need for further discussion, buy only!!!

BEST PURCHASE EVER.

okay this is what Pods are like. it’s this crunchy, cookie-like, biscuit shell that encapsulates a centre of melted chocolate AND a layer of Snickers filling. oh my god. and it’s bite-sized. double oh my god. and when you bite into it, it’s this crazy orgasmic combo of crunchy and gooey, and it’s so dense, and so chocolatey, and so Snickery, and .. yes, so addictively good.

that’s the thing about Pods - addictive. they’re light enough that you can actually eat a whole lot of them without feeling sick, unlike other chocolatey snacks. i mean, i popped half the box before i even knew it!! then upon realizing i was going to spoil my dinner, i gave the rest of the Pods to my brother. but snatched it back within minutes. sigh. Australian snacks will be the death of me. the last time it was peanut butter kit kats. then just when i get my fix of that, snail mailed to me courtesy of Johanny once again, those damn kangaroos come up with COOKIE DOUGH KIT KAT. arghghghghghh.

i wanna move to Australia now. i’m not forgetting that they have Max Brenner, Krispy Kreme and Kokoblack. and Lygon Street gelati.

this is me and the evil Johanny on the ferry. remember his face well. if you ever bump into him and he offers you some ‘addictively good’ australian snack, DONT TAKE IT. you’ll die from the cravings once you finish whatever you’ve got in your hands.
