Torrents of Arabia

Today, Elizabeth, Baby Maggie and I went in search of Arabian delights. We ended up in Aubrun, where there are many Middle Eastern stores to explore. First stop, a grocer where I stocked up on exotic rose water, pomegranate molasses and orange blossom water (methinks a batch of macaroons is on the cards this weekend).

Next stop was Cafe Mado to sample some sweet delights. Decked out in a traditional aesthetic, we could have been worlds away.

So many goodies! The little date number was my favourite.

Turkish coffee; thick, dark and rich… Almost like the ideal man, except for the thick part…

If you haven’t ventured to more ethnic parts of Sydney, I suggest you do. There is so much of the world to see here in this great city and you don’t even need a passport.
