YumMy Fudge-y...Su's Getting Pudge-y *hee*

I can't decide if I regret my 4 full ridiculously irresponsible eating spree days in Melbourne. From sweets, gelato and cakes...hot crisp fries to delicious pizza's...It didn't occur to me that I should resist any of it at that time. *laughs* The many hours of slogging through gym to work it off didn't cross my mind at all. I guess I'll have to just sacrifice the extra effort after having indulged in my many sinful treats. I'm happy...I had my taste of the yummy side of Melbourne.
...
of course I took pictures!
*grin*
Su's never complete without her precious lenses.
My dining experience is never perfect without a beautifully taken photograph of the chef's 'culinary masterpiece'~
I'm such a blogger....it's painful. *laughs*

Now...let's go through some tempting eye-candy, drooling and *MmmmMm's * together before I finish off with a fudge I popped out of my handy microwave. You can't really tell it's made in less than 15 minutes! Tastes and looks pretty impressive if you ask me. Perfect for dainty gifts or just to pig out quietly at home *grin*

Browsing the Deli @ the markets..

Piping hot Jam-filled donuts from the market...I never miss these each time I'm in town.Gelato from Lygon st.

Breakfast sourdough muffin+ scrambled eggs , bacon + miserable leaf of spinach *laughs*

Lord of the fries...need I say more? *sigH* the craving never stops. *drool*...I wish I took a photo before we devoured the entire boxful.

Fiery hot Shanghainese Fish hot-pot @ Chinatown...the chili was CRAZY~
Fancy-schamcy European restaurant @ Crown casino. Impressive display of cakes, nice atmosphere...hopeless service...dry cakes...good cocktails....made a hole in our wallets. Not going there again; well maybe just for the honeycomb cheesecake *yum*

Dainty and quaint little cafe down Brunswick St. A name I have difficultly pronouncing..*giggle* French sounding things intimidate me. Had brunch; was good...we were all smiles...the hot chocolate was lip-smacking too~
We had another trip down Brunswick...for more shopping. Stopped by A cafe cheekily named "Red tongue". Was a good place to rest our legs from running in and out of shops all morning. There was a coffee shop; with freshly roasted coffee beans; Atomica if I'm not mistaken. Coffee was superb....wish I took photographs.Stopped by a Korean joint "Seoul Garden"on Exhibition St...reasonably priced, good food...excellent service. The outside was done-up a little creepy...not too inviting; but as we walked in, the surroundings began to look more attractive.




Chocolate liquor Fudge

3/4 cup condensed milk

70gms butter chopped
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 tbsp glucose syrup
200gms coarsely chopped good quality dark chocolate
1/4 cup chocolate liquor (use baileys/Kahlua/frangelico if you like)

Melt condensed milk, butter, sugar and glucose in a large microwavable bowl for 2 minutes on high. Stir every 30 seconds. When sugars are fully dissolved and mixture is smooth; throw in chocolate and liquor. Stir well to make a glossy smooth paste. Line a square tin/tupperware with some greaseproof cookie paper and pour the mixture in. Leave to cool for an hour and pop it in the fridge for another couple of hours to allow it to set.

**To make the swirl design; melt white chocolate chips with some condensed milk to form a workable paste.*remember white chocolate melts faster and at a lower temp in comparison to dark* Drop in blobs of white on the dark chocolate and use a skewer to randomly swirl around the surface to create pretty swirl effect. Here's one I did with dark on white.

**Edit: :P *LOL*Thanks for picking out my errors guys...I overlooked one too many.
