Eveleigh Markets/Blackbird Cafe/Lindt Chocolate Cafe – Eveleigh/Darling Harbour, Sydney
The foodie scene in Sydney has been given a great boost in fresh and organic direction with a burst of Farmers’ Markets and one of the latest additions is the Eveleigh Farmers’ Markets. It is always exciting to check out a new market but it was made much more fun when going in with other foodies armed with cameras and a large appetite. Shez, Karen and I decided to crash Chocolatesuze’s stall at the markets and to stock up on some delicious treats while we were at it hee hee.
Whheee I really liked the ramp design, pity I didn’t take a full photo of it
Catching a glimpse of the masses below we prepared ourselves for some fresh produce goodness!
Ahh love this setting but I was slightly surprised at the size of the markets, as I had anticipated something a bit bigger
Chocolatesuze (wo)manning her stall!
YUMMY biscotti and shortbread! I was very eagar to get my thick cut pistachio and cranberry biscotti but alas, she had sold out all the normal packets before I got there X| Woe is me… but I did end up with a bag of off-cuts which still satisfied my cravings. Next time, please save me some Suze 
hee hee kthx! After saying haro, we had a good gander at all the other stalls at the markets and stocking up on some nibbles for breakfast.
That jumping cow was so cow I had to take a photo of her
Fresh vegetables!
The bbq smelt sooooo good mmmm ^^! They also have a very nice collection of sausages and other smoked goods
Mmmmm lamb
Fresh bread! They had some pretty giant slabs of focaccia which looked really good
Doggies enjoying the markets too
Shepherd’s Bakehouse with gorgeous fresh bready aromas seeping out of their display cabinets
Purdy flowers
Me pretending to be a photographer student
Honey products! I quite like the honey energy drink 
The marinated baby figs were beautifully sticky and sweet… thinking back I regret not getting some haha
Gumnut chocolates
One of Shez’ usual haunts so with her recommendation I got the Classic Florentines which are stick-to-your-teeth fantastic.
Bread + Olive oil = simple but delish!
More olive oil and condiments
Hmmm she doesn’t seem too pleased about me taking this photo…
Yalla products stall had some awesome Hummous and yogurt
Shez enjoying some mango yogurt with honey granola
Portugese Mousse
All the fresh fruit and vege! I really wanted to get some Dutch Cream spuds but they were all gone when I came around for them 
Chhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessee ^^! Somehow I always end up with cheese when I come to markets -___-
King Kong, king, king, king, king Kong, If you hear before you see me, I got king kong in the trunk…
This kid is scaring me…
Great selection of mushrooms and at a very decent price!
Apple Pie! Mmmm pie pie pie
Very tasty with a soft crumbly pastry and gooey apple filling. It can only be improved by heating it up slightly and adding some good quality ice cream mmm ^^!
Rosemary Focaccia
Rich oily taste with a soft texture to match.
Chocolate Eclairs
Karens’ ELMO baby wipes How suitable hee hee jkjk!
I am a Cookie Monster fan but Elmo is still pretty entertaining hee hee
This cute little guy had many admirers!
*pat pat*
All marketed out and now forwards towards lunch and mainly dessert!!
After munching at Blackbird Cafe (can view food on the other blogs 
) we popped downstairs to Lindt Cafe!
The awesome lindor ball dispenser!
Another shot I got in before I was asked not to take anymore photos
Lindt whhheee ^^!
Karens’ bag of goodies, which I just had to get an inside shot of!
It was worth looking quite the fool for this shot XP
Chocolate Milkshake (with Iced Chocolate in the dark)
The chocolate milkshake was thick, rich and luscious which was just what I needed mmmm! It is quite similar to the Ice Chocolate but just a thicker version.
Food Bloggers doing what we do!
Ph33r my 1337 focusing skillz -____- … That’s right!
Chocolatesuzes’ giant macaroon
Read her description here. I was able to have a nibble of it and I really liked the crispy hazlnutty layer (reminded me of nutella) with the creamy chocolate layer mmm.
Shez’ Lindt waffle
The Lindt waffle is still reigning champion of all the waffles. Warm and freshly made, topped with a ball of creamy ice cream and oozy chocolate sauce mmmmmm. I am really craving one badly right now!
Chocolatesuze and her cutesy anime pose *BAKU*!
It was great to catch up with fellow bloggers and enjoy all the great produce the markets had to offer

Geez… what an array of photos. Where to begin…
Thought the milk poster was interesting. Going down the list it’s dairy, dairy, dairy and d-
…airy…?
The guy at the cheese counter looked like he wasn’t saying cheese behind his hand…
Love the colours from some of your shots. I’m only had my compact for a couple of months but I feel like I already want to go DSLR!
The bag shot was soooo worth the effort. Loved it!
Looks like it was a great day.

Great photos with lots of vendor shots too. And yeah, I can never understand Lindt’s policy about no photos. I do like the instant light box with the Lindt macaron bag though!

What an awesome day out! Everything looks so fantastic. I’ve seen a couple of photos of you trying to get the hidden macaroon shot, and I agree, It really was worth it. You wont see that particular shoot anywhere else….unless I steal your idea….mawww haaa haaa! By the way, the link to your blog from your profile goes back to your old blog site, you might want to update it to the new website.

Wow, what great photos!!
I’m especially drooling at the eclairs, how was it? I’ve yet to find a decent French-style eclairs in Sydney.
…and what the? TWO takeaway macarons? Just TWO? Geez, that’s not even enough to fill the gap between my teeth! LOL!
March 29th, 2009 at 1:37 am
Maria – Hee hee thx ^^! Yeah it was pure luck and some awesome ninja skillz since I did steal it from Onebitemore haha XD
Erique – Thx ^^! Ahh the eclairs were ok but nothing mind blasting. I’m hoping I can get myself to Melbourne to try the humongous eclair from Walker’s Doughnuts.

[...] gorging myself at the Eveleigh Markets/Blackbird Cafe and Lindt Cafe, I did what all other respected foodies do which is to gorge even more on a buffet nonetheless. I [...]
