Sweet reason to be a bag lady

January 22nd, 2009 | Published in Uncategorized

OK, I already have many chocolate-box-sized reasons to go to Boon Chocolate, which is one of my fave places in Sydney. Just before Christmas, they even added a new passionfruit/caramel flavour, which had me re-ranking my most-loved chocs there.

But now they’ve really upped the ante, with this gorgeous Flores de Mayo Chocolate Bag. It’s named after a popular Filippino festival (Flowers of May is the literal translation – and the bag’s raining pattern of petals spells out the connection quite sweetly).

How Fanny, Boon’s chocolatier, manages to hand-make all these intricate creations astounds my lazy-brained self. I’m sure any new ideas she comes up with for choc-dipped events such as Valentine’s Day and Easter will be similarly mind-stunning.

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.
