Since we needed to get gifts for friends and souvenirs for the office that aren't all from supermarket shelves, we thought that chocolates would be appropriate, and easy to pack. Hahaha. We stopped by one in Margaret River that appealed to us — Gabriel Chocolate. Found all the chocolates we wanted. They offered us small nuggets to taste.
It was kinda fun that the chocolatier is neighbors with uhh a Chinese restaurant Chow's Table (food ain't too bad), and House of Cards (very hip, but we aren't fond of its wines, except a fortified wine, which we bought as a gift for the man's dad). Across these sits Windows Estate (it has such beautiful whites); down the end of the scenic road stands Arimia (its restaurant has a gorgeous terrace for lunch, and obviously very nicely done farm-to-table menus).
I was so pleased to see many options of dark chocolates. There was a 72% from both Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. There were even three options of Venezuela Chuao in the form of a 99% and 80%; the Venezuela Porcelana was at 90%. How nice that they had a little coffee bar inside. We needed coffee and hot chocolate. Oddly, my caffeine intake has decreased on this trip and I don’t even feel it. Heh. L said that the hot chocolate was superb. She had a choice of five types of chocolates to choose from. That was really cool. Our coffee provided a much-needed boost to the sluggish cold morning.
