Who wouldn't want to live in a House Of Chocolates?!! Actually, my tastes reside more on the…read moresavoury side which is why if I AM going to eat sweets they have to be quality. The House of Chocolates has been here as long as I remember - and I grew up in the Eastern Suburbs. It still has an old-fashioned sweet shop kind of feel, I always expect some jolly fat man to come out from the back proffering a tray of freshly made chocolate treats*. (*Note: This has never happened.) We used to come here sometimes after a day at the beach for little hand-made chocolate penguins for a treat, so I have happy memories associated with this place. Add some choc endorphins to that and this is my Happy Place. The chocolates are hand-crafted by Sydney chocolatiers but they also have a small number of imported sweets. My favourites: chilli and salted chocs, and of course the Happy Place penguins.

If you're in the need of a good old fashioned sugar rush then why not stop by the house of…read morechocolates? This old fashioned sweet store will conjure up memories of what life was like when you were a kid. There is so much variety and choice from local Aussie treats to fancy chocolaty imports. They have lollie jars, and sugary options are well as finely finessed hand made goodies. Prices start from $1 and could easy go into the hundreds depending what type of chocolate addict you are. I find this a fun place to try a bit of chocolate experimentation. Why not treat your taste buds to something new by purchasing a new flavour. It's a fun place to bring kids and kids at heart... I would suggest stopping in just to browse, but if you can leave without purchasing something than you have a lot more will power than I do...

Woolies and a convenience store, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First came love, then came…read moremarriage, then came...this shop on the corner! This small new Woolies has taken over the old CommBank site, filling it with aisles of snacks, convenience foods and ready-to-eat goods. I don't think I've seen anything like it - not as big or well stocked as a supermarket, not as exxy and poorly stocked as a convenience store, it's perfect for busy workers rushing to or from work and in need of a grab-and-go meal. There's even a cafe onsite selling the cheapest coffee and cakes in Surry - $3 brownies, say whaaaaat? I'm yet to try the coffee here yet but boy has it been handy when I've been running to/from Central and needed to pick up a bag of washed spinach, a tub of yoghurt, a pack of bikkies or a bit of fresh fruit. It opens til late, heck it may even be open 24/7* - say whaaaaat? *don't quote me on that #wishfulthinking, but I'll check next time I swing by

Bondi has been screaming out for more supermarkets, and big, well-stocked, healthy ones at that. There's a ton of bars, and a ton of over-priced boutiques, but not really that many fresh food retailers. This joint will go off. They've got monster stacks of colourful fruit & vegetables, trays of exotic things with even more exotic names, a small goods and meat section, olives stuffed with anchovies, tabouli, pasta salads, fresh juices, vegetable chips, and tons and tons more. Oh and they were giving away tubs of free yoghurt near the cashiers the day I went. Free yoghurt! What fresh madness is this? I thought about taking two but the woman behind me had judgey eyes so I couldn't.

The charm of this place is buying stuff that you would never normally get. Or playing Asian snack…read moreroulette and getting something that has no English translation on the packaging. Orange Supermarket certainly has a wide array of the weird and wonderful, with my recent purchase of dried anchovies raising curious eyebrows in the office (N.B. they were crispy, sweet and a little sickly after too many!). And if you're after ingredients for an Asian dinner, the aisles are stockpiled with everything you'll need. They also have a great variety of Asian drinks, my favourite being the lychee juice with little bits of jelly in it. And a can of Coke (in its various forms) for $1, where can you get that in Sydney nowadays?! So if you're wandering down Harris St, and you're in need a of a quick refreshment, don't be drawn in by the overpriced convenience store on the opposite corner of the road, drop into Orange Supermarket instead!

The Indian supermarket sells prepared Indian dishes and sauces, spices, rice, desserts and sweets. Also some fresh vegetables & general groceries for preparing Indian meals. I bought some lovely silver stainless bowls and an extra curry for my cheat's dinner party, hoping I could bluff my guests! Also grabbed a carton of an ice cream type dessert . I was the only non Indian customer, so you know it is the real deal. With my purchase I also scored a voucher towards a purchase at a nearby Indian Take Away. Yippee , some extra items for entree.
