What made my taste buds moan in Sydney #Nomnom

Let me be honest, Australia was never been a must see destination for me. I didn't do much research on what to expect and I don't know many people that have been. I honestly didn't have many expectations when it came to my favorite thing to do on my travels...eat!!! I love to eat. Well, let me be specific, I love to eat really good food. I wasn't sure what I was going to experience in Australia, but let me just tell you, Australia has some QUALITY food!!! Here are the 6 things that made me moan and say nomnom during my short visit to Sydney:
​

​




​1. COFFEE.  If you're a coffee lover...have it anywhere it is so damn good. I had my first cup of coffee at the airport and it rocked my world. I kept ordering it everywhere and even the most random places had delicious cups of joe. They also had almond milk at every place I went, that is NOT the case in NYC.
​    
LMJ coffee recommendation: Gertrude and Alice's on Hall St. (near Bondi Beach). I had their iced coffee and rolled my eyes because it was so tiny and $5!!!, but once I tried it, man, I would have paid $10 for that deliciousness. Maybe I just haven't had real coffee before... so damn good.

2. TOAST. Yes, toast. Their bread is delicious. It's not generic store bought, I swear it tastes like each place bakes its own bread. And the butter. Lordy lord, the butter, maybe I just never had real butter before. They pump their butter with soul and love and omg...it's so damn good. I got toast a lot, because it was usually the cheapest thing on the menu, but omg, was it just delicious. You can get the toast anywhere. I did love Gertrude and Alice's avocado toast. I love avocado toast in the states too, but in Australia, it was tastier. They put feta and herbs in their version at Gertrude and Alice's. My iced coffee and avocado toast there was my favorite meal in Australia. Just typing this make me want to go back and eat them both again...every...single... day. Cant you just taste it?

3. Burgers. They have some quality meat too. I keep saying quality, but that's exactly what everything tasted of. I know we, America, gets a bad rep for its food and the poor quality. Some countries won't even accept meat from our country and I kinda get why. Everything I ate in Sydney tasted like they didn't cut any corners to make it. I complained a lot about the price of these goods, but you definitely got something worth the price tag. 
​LMJ Recommendation: Moo on Bondi Beach and Chur in Surry Hills #nomnom

4. Fish and Chips. Damn. So fresh. So right. Get some and moan... I swear you will.
​LMJ Recommendation: Blue Fish in Darling Harbour. Save some money and get it to go. Grab a seat on a bench by the ferris wheel and chow down as you watch people go around. Omg... nomnom.

5. Brown Sugar. The restaurant, not the condiment or 90s classic. Cute little date spot with great food. The ambiance is sexy. I went with my brother's friend who happened to be in Sydney at the same time and we could barely make eye contact...LMAO. That place makes you feel like you're in love with a stranger. Sexy ass roses, dim candle lit tables, man listen, that's where you take someone to convince them to leave their woman/man for you. Scallops and ink pasta and you'll get her/him I swear.

6. Acai Bowl. OMG. I almost forgot my favorite sweet meal of the trip. I had an acai bowl with coconut ice cream from Coco Joy at the Westfield Mall. It had homemade granola, the acai was on point, the coconut ice cream tasted like it was made my two coconuts in love... Wow... wow...wow. $10 and so good.

​

Thank you Sydney! You treated me and my taste buds right. Until next time!!!

​Love, Love, Travel (and Eat)!
