Better than Sex....??

I had the spontaneous pleasure of spending the afternoon with two lovely friends, Libby and Maeve, oh and little bubs ofcourse, on Friday.
We did a spot of antiquing and i found some small vases to use on tables at the wedding reception. bonus.
We had lunch at a great little "alternative" style cafe in Paddington called Java Lounge cafe. Super relaxed vibe accompanied great food and drinks! The pineapple, mint and orange frappe was a hit, "3 please waiter!".
But after lunch came the highlight of the day. No, not little bubs deciding that right in the middle of lunch was the time to do a number 2, thus needing to change her rather unusually well filled nappy on the back seat of Libby's car. But it was our little visit to Monty's Chocolates.

Well, I never.....!
What a quaint little chocolate shop! Greeting you at the door are buckets of beautiful rose bunches in all shades, reminding me of gelato.
Inside is even more colour and actual sweets. The walls are lined with imported chocolates and the counter packed with glass candy jars filled with goodies...could it get any better!?
Yes.
The lovely Maeve shouted us two chocolates each to give us a taste, she was a regular already.
We all had a piece of her favourite, A caramel filled moment of joy. Can't remember the name, but can remember the taste, amazing.
The next was our own pick. I chose a rose flavoured delight. I was so happy with my choice. No buyers regret here.
It was glorius, truelly. I savoured every moment of that small piece of rose chocolate goodness and I can still taste is two days later.
Libby had informed me the Hot Chocolate was to die for, but as the temperature outside was oven-like I decided not to try it this time and vowed to make a special trip back when it was a little cooler just to try the hot chocolate made from actual Swisse chocolate.
Just as we were finishing our chocolates the lovely lady behind the counter came out with three little cups of hot chocolate for us to sample, complete with our own wooden spoon to eat it with. Yup, the hot chocolate is not like the regular "watery" hot chocolate, but smooth and thicker like a sauce. Commom in Italy i believe? The spoon is used because its too thick to drink.

It was amazing, like heaven in a cup on a spoon in my mouth.
I HIGHLY reccomend you make a trip to Monty's.
Today.
Even if your not a fan of chocolate....actually, if your not a fan of chocolate you shouldnt make a trip there, your should probably make a trip to a hospital and have yourself committed.

Well, as i head off to bed tonight, I will be dreaming of wooden spoons dripping with chocolate, candy jars, and.....my hubby-to-be.....thought I better give him a mention ;)
Ciao xoxox
