Sydney Road is always a surprise. Nifty shops. Good food. Terrible traffic and never any parking. Luckily today the Parking Gods favoured the Volvo and we managed a park close to our destination. Choukette.
The real reason for the foray over to Brunswick was yet another visit to yet another senior school. This time a tour through Brunswick Secondary College. Not too bad, possibly a front runner (they had a great arts /drama/dance program). We are still debating the merits of public versus private but Brunswick seems to have a lot on offer, the buildings aren't falling down (or portable horrors), the kids didn't look like juvenile delinquents and the teaching staff all seemed very enthusiastic.
As a reward for spending the morning school hunting, we headed over to Sydney Road and ducked into Choukette for a quick coffee and pastry. Ben had a particularly delicious Almond Croissant and I settled for the slightly less fattening looking Choukette. Very, very good.
Mostly because I love the colours, I bought a box of assorted French Macarons for the journey home. Last time I had Macarons, I made them myself, and although they were beautiful, I am too lazy to make more than one flavour at any given time. My recipe made about two dozen filled macarons, of which all were eaten. That can't be good.

the green Macaroon here looks a bit like the green Pandan Bread they sell here ..... well, they are both green!
Probably taste vastly different though. :-)
Pandan bread sounds great. That green is such an improbable colour. It really doesn't look like it should be edible.
