"...GORGEOUS SHOP.. COULD BROWSE.. AND BUY.. ALL DAY..."
Have driven past the ROYAL NUT COMPANY shop on Wattletree Road, Malvern so so so many times.... always wanting to stop.... always in too much of a hurry....!!
Friday... decided to be careful not to drive past, rather, to stop and go have a look... Yes.. in our house - no nut allergies - we all love nuts.. I buy an assortment each week at COLES, but nice, now and then to get some interesting stuff, we might not have had for a while... or might not have tried before...
Well, I spent $52 very very quickly - in about 5 mins - Aussie Peanuts, Aussie Macadamias, Aussie Sultanas, Greek Figs, Dark Choc Licorice Bullets, White Choc Raspberries, Dried Oregano, Dried Chives AND I found one of our favourite brands of black molasses and red raspberry LICORICE - "Black Rabbit"... WOW what a bonus..!!
Everything I bought - all FRESH.. all GOOD.. except for the herbs, all EATEN..
The young man serving was really helpful - I could hear him answering all sorts of customer queries from "which dried apricots were kosher" to "what's the seasoning you put in a tajine recipe"... and also jotting down requests for 'not stocked' items to be sourced...
The shop is squeaky clean.. well laid out.. up and down, with a centre aisle running down the middle and is seriously well stocked..!!
Nicely pre-packed and labelled.. on the shelves: Nuts, shelled and unshelled, Pulses, Seeds, Dried Fruits, Dried Herbs, Spices, Sweets, Honey, Gourmet Jars & Packets and a good line of ORGANIC Dry Foodstuffs...
Am sure to discover something new and interesting each time I go - It's one of those places..
Price is fair...
I will definitely drop by, next time I pass... kinda sure this place will become a weekly fave...
-They're a small shop, but do take eftpos and no surcharge on your credit card...
-I think they're open 7 days a week - not sure of their hours...
-There's a car park literally next door...
