Haven't been out much since I came back from holiday in May. The Husband and I mostly spent our time hibernating at home for most part of May to June due to cold weather. We started going back to our weekly dinner dates in July and that's when we found out that the Westfield Sydney Food Court in Level 5 and 6 became more fancy.
A new gastronomical experience was having a taste of some "haute dogs" at Snag Stand. Philip Blanco, the man behind Gloria Jeans and T2, brings sourced gourmet sausages from local butcheries and serve them with specially-baked buns for a sophisticated sausage sizzle experience.
The Husband got himself the American Classic "haute dog". A filling wood smoked frankfurter with American Mustard, tomato sauce, onion and sweet relish on a toasted brioche roll.

Being the spicy-fiend, I got myself the Chili Dog. This "haute dog" won't disappoint when it comes to "haute-ness"! A natural frankfurter enveloped in chili beef sauce, onions, cheese and roasted chili peppers on a toasted brioche bun.
This hotdog is so long so they cut it into half to make it easy to eat AND share!
Their chips made from 100% Tasmanian Russet Potatoes with a sprinkle of natural sea salt flakes is one of the best chips I've ever tasted. A great partner to their "haute dogs".
Their hotdogs tasted a bit bland but I took into consideration that their sausages are made from low lean fat meats, all natural casings, gluten free, no artificial colours and flavours. I'm aware that the more natural the food is, the lesser flavour it can be. The little blandness is balanced out by the sauces and toppings so I didn't really mind. I'd gladly eat these kind of hotdogs anytime and feel guilt-free.

On a different week, the Husband and I met up for afternoon tea and decided to try the coffee and pastries at Becasse Bakery.
We had a cup of their Cafe Mocha and shared a pastry. With just the right amount of chocolate, their Cafe Mocha was beautifully rich. I'm truly proud I live in a city where you can get good coffee in every corner and even in food courts.
Their version of Gateau St. Honore on instagram. It is a classic French dessert made of puff pastry at its base, cream puffs dipped in caramel and abundant whipped cream.
I loved this pastry!!! I knew I was meant to share it with the Husband but I ate most of it.
I can't wait to try their other pastries soon.
