Lamingtons
|
Take two slices of white cake, spread jam in between, then cover in chocolate syrup icing and roll in coconut. The result, a yummy Lamington! The Lamington is a popular sweet treat in most cake shops and bakeries. Pink lamingtons offer a colourful contrast without the chocolate icing and in some stores you will find lemon iced lamington too!

Fish & Chips
|
Every town on the coast has multitudes of fish and chip shops. The fish is always in batter and served with a mound of big fat chips. The fish are all deep fried unless you asked for it to be grilled. Depending on the season and shop different fish are available. Lashings of salt and vinegar are the usual accompaniment, although all other sauces are provided. Eat in or takeaway available at most restaurants.

Potato Scallop
|
\"oh and I'll have a potato scallop too\" is not the most unusual thing heard at a fish and chip shop and one might think that chips would be enough potato to fill anyone's day. Thick slices of potato are battered and deep fried. Salt and vinegar or lemon juice is all that is needed to enhance the flavour or maybe a good dunk in tomato sauce is suitable too!

Chia bread and rolls
|
Chia is fast becoming popular and for good reason. This superfood is small, but packs a big punch of nutritional and health benefits. Most bakeries (more so bigger chains) are offering a wide range of Chia options, from typical wholemeal chia loaves to fruit loaves with Chia. If you've never tried Chia before give it a go.

Tea
|
A fresh cup of good old English tea never goes amiss. Drink in or takeaway, it still tastes good! There is usually a selection of teas such as Breakfast Tea (usual English tea), Earl Grey, Lemon and other varieties such as Lapsang Souchong. Bigger bakeries will serve the tea with the pot, whereas smaller ones will serve you just a cup, or a takeway container.
