Bowled Over by Linh
For the last weekend at The Stork Hotel, I have been lucky enough to get an upgrade of sorts to a different room.
It was sad to leave The Penguin room but exciting to be in a room dedicated to one of cricket's greatest players and an Australian icon.
The Sir Donald Bradman room is The Stork Hotel's tribute to the man who epitomised outstanding excellence not just in sporting pursuits but is also a fine example of professionalism, dedication and sportsmanship for future Australian athletes in all sports.
It's inspiring and wonderful to be in the midst of a truly great Australian.
Spanish Doughnut by Linh
My idea of a conventional doughnut are those voraciously devoured with much haste by Homer Simpson. That is until I came across the enchanting Spanish doughnut stand 'Choco Churro' on the corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets.
Cooked in cholesterol free vegetable oil, without preservatives or artificial colouring and sweeteners, the Churro comes with a variety of flavoursome fillings including chocolate, caramel, custard, jam, orange, lemon, passionfruit and apple and cinnamon.
The lightly textured dough and the crispiness are appealling and the taste is pleasing although slightly chewy. Having only tasted the Choco Churro Loops and Bombon Churro, I would recommend the Spanish doughnut as an alternative to the ringed and circular filled ones.
Unfortunately, Choco Churro is a franchise only found in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia but not in South Australia.
