Sugar Cube Belgium Waffles, Wollongong:Vanessa Pike-Russell

Also on offer; a large selection of hot & cold drinks, cakes, brownies, banana bread, toasts, cookies and ice cream! Special occasions can be catered for with platters/tiered stands featuring your choice of mini waffles, choc dipped strawberries, cake cubes etc.

The Sugar Cube takes pride in using environmentally friendly packaging. Drink cups/lids, straws, food containers, cutlery and bags are 100% biodegradable/compostable."

Today I finally made it into The Sugar Cube in Wollongong. I had asked if they had any gluten-free products they kindly created a gluten-free waffle mix and invited me in to try it. I finally made it into Wollongong and enjoyed a gluten-free waffle with strawberries and cream. Such indulgence! Named the Dragon waffle after the St George Illawarra

I also enjoyed a mocha and sat down at the cute red stools and table and enjoyed having a few moments to myself and just taking my time to enjoy my first ever gluten-free belgium waffles and a cup of Lazumba mocha coffee.

Definitely not the last time! I would love to try their Banoffee waffles. A great way to warm up on a cold, overcast day.

The service was fantastic and so friendly. Definitely worth a visit!

Conveniently located opposite WIN Sports & Entertainment Centre and within easy walking distance of Wollongong’s City Beach. Car park available at rear (shared with Chicko’s, 45 min limit, enter from Harbour Street).

Crown Thai - Garlic seafood

Crown Thai - Garlic seafood, originally uploaded by vanessapr.

On the 4th of May I won a $500 gift card as part of i98 fm's Mothers Day competition. The gift card could be used at most stores in Wollongong Central and one of the names on the list was Crown Thai - something that made me immediately hungry! I had sampled the fantastic fare at Crown Thai but a few times and was anxious to have lunch there again.

On Wednesday I went in with Stan to do some grocery shopping and we enjoyed selecting a meal from the Crown Thai menu. They had set lunchtime specials which come with rice

Beef / Chicken / Pork - $8.50
Seafood $9.80

But we decided to choose a main meal since we were hungry. The serving sizes were more than ample. We ended up taking some home since we couldn't finish it all.


Crying Tiger For One: $6.50 For Two: $11.90




Chilli Beef with Basil Lunch.Special $8 Main: $12.50


Seafood with Garlic Lunch.Special $9 Main: $16.50

Which was washed down with half a carafe of Merlot which matched the cuisine nicely.

Satay House, Wollongong

Back in March I visited Satay House, a small restaurant located off Wollongong's Crown Street Mall in a side street near Camera House. I am a big fan of Satay food and I was not disappointed. I ordered the Satay King Prawns ($8.50), Curry Beef with rice ($6.50) and some green tea.

Gwynnevile ChicknRoast - George Special - Beef cooked on the BBQ with Greek Salad

I asked the lovely people at Gwynneville's ChicknRoast if they had anything low carb on their menu. They replied that their daughter was on a low carb diet and that their son George often cooked a low carb meal for his sister - it consists of beef cooked on the barbeque with a special marinade then layered over a large serve of greek salad featuring the best marinated feta I've ever tasted.
