Upcoming events
I'm most excited about next week's opening of Haigh's at The Strand. I first discovered Haigh's hand-made delights on my last trip to Melbourne and, like, yum! The 100sqm outlet will be Haigh's biggest store (apart from the Adelaide Visitors' Centre) and is the first in Sydney (there are six stores in Adelaide and five in Melbourne). About time we got one!
The other drool-worthy news for Sydneysiders is the Two-for-One seafood buffet offer by Four Points Sheraton's Corn Exchange restaurant. I've posted about the seafood buffet before and it's definitely worth a belt notch or two. The offer is valid lunch or dinner anytime (except Thursday nights) with prices ranging from $49.50-$69.50 (per couple) depending on when you go. To make a reservation you need to call 02 9290 4816 and quote 'WINTER 2 FOR 1'. Bookings are limited to a minimum of two, and a maximum of four people.

I drooled while I watched the segment on Haigh's last night on FLG2A. It might almost be worth visiting Adelaide just to go to the visitors' centre.
