For sweets, we found a place famous for a dessert known as a vanilla slice. It has a really nice vanilla custard filling and a crispy / flakey outer pastry. We had a few other vanilla slices while in Victoria and this was definitely the best place for it.

While on our trip on the Great Ocean Road, which has spectacular views if you ever get the chance, one of our primary objectives was to visit Grandma Shields Bakery for their award winning meat pies. There are a variety of fillings at Grandma Shields Bakery; we tried a few of their variants of the meat pie, my favorite were definitely the original or the Chunky Steak and Mushroom. All were quite tasty with its tender meat filling and flakey crust. I can see why this is considered by some, their national dish. At the end, we had passed by another interesting food item, the Lamington. Basically a sponge cake that has been dipped in chocolate, to seal in the moisture, and dusted with dried coconut — also quite nice.

Upon arriving in Melbourne, Australia, had to warm up the ol’ stomach for the coming days of good eating; ended up heading to Papparich. A chain here in Melbourne that specializes in the classic flavors and dishes found in Malaysia. Definitely not of the same as eating in the hawker stands in KL/Penang/etc… but it’s ever a joy to taste some of those familiar flavors. Favorite dish was definitely the Curry Laksa.
