Max Brenner Chocolate Bar- Southbank

Max Brenner Chocolate Bar

South bank

Had a lovely day with my eldest son today at Southbank Brisbane . My youngest son was at a friends birthday party at the Science Centre  , (which is an awesome idea for a kids party). So I suggested to big boy that he could take me out for the day to South bank. Where is a nine year old going to pick for food fix at South bank ? Well, a Chocolate Bar of course ! Max Brenner Chocolate Bar  to be precise.

  

 The line was at the door. I looked at him and suggested that there were lots of other restaurants to try (I was in the moody for a good eggs Benedict) .  The look on his face suggested that he knew it would be tough waiting, but we could make it. I soon realised that the tough part wasn't because he just couldn't be bothered waiting, more because he didn't want to have to wait for the chocolate fix.

 



I suggested he try something different, ahha, not negotiable, chocolate pizza and hugga mug hot chocolate. I opted for the chocolate souffle and the mocca with spicy chocolate. The wait in the line went much quicker than I though it was going to. The wait for the food was also surprisingly short, considering the amount of people eating here.

 

When I go for a calorie and sugar overload, I expect to totally indulge. My philosophy is, if I am in, I'm all or nothing. So when the chocolate souffle came out with no huge dollop of double island cream I was a little disappointed. As I was about to ask the waitress for some cream I thought to myself. This place has their systems and menu down-pat. There must be a reason for no cream, give it a go. So glad I did, it did not require anything on the side - delicious.

9 year slammed most of the pizza leaving only two slices. For a skinny kid he can certainly put a lot of food away.

Food done, we went for a stroll through the markets, grabbed a pair of togs from the convenience store (not for me). 9 year old had a dip in the lagoon (no towel, but we managed) and then we had a quick drink and snack and made our way home.

 

I had forgotten how beautiful it is at Southbank. The quick snack was a glass of red for me, dry ginger ale for boy and we shared a salt and pepper calamari. We got in one song by a lovely young lady jazzing up some pop songs. All told it was a fabulous day, and big boy thought so too.
