(re)discovering Sydney

Although I've been back for a couple of weeks, it was only today that I was finally able to venture to Petersham aka Little Portugal to give the man a taste of a home away from home. Seeing New Canterbury road close-up for the first time was an experience as I'd never noticed how many Portuguese-chicken-shops-per-square-metre there are there.

We started backwards with dessert, at Sweet Belem after reading numerous posts about the cinnamon custardy goodness and were not disappointed. Crispy, flaky, sweet and just-warm, they were perfect with a latte. We're coming back for more (the palmier rechados were very very tempting!).
