Exploring Eumundi and Montville

Breakfast:
Vanilla yogurt w/banana slices, apple chunks, cashews & macadamia nuts
Sample at a ginger beer booth at Eumundi Market, Eumundi, Queensland, Australia:
Ginger beer
(Not a fan of carbonated drinks.)
Sample from a rocky road stand at Eumundi Market, Eumundi, Queensland, Australia:
Rocky road: chocolate covered marshmellow w/some nuts
(I don't like marshmellow.)
Sample from a pineapple stand at Eumundi Market, Eumundi, Queensland, Australia:
Pineapple
(Super sweet! I love pineapples!)
Sample from a juice bar at Eumundi Market, Eumundi, Queensland, Australia: 
Sip of Trang's pineapple, orange & watermelon juice
(Not the best pressed juice. The machine wasn't very strong.)
Snack at the Eumundi Bakeshop, Eumundi, Queensland, Australia:
Small forkful of Hai's carrot cake
(Goodness gracious! This was sugar on sugar with sugar. One forkful is a day's worth of sugar consumption. Yuck.)
Snack:
Apple
Samples from the Australian Nougat Company, Eumundi, Queensland, Australia:
Original macadamia nougat, cranberry & macadamia nougat (4), almond & macadamia nougat (4)
(Also extremely sweet, but I liked the crunchy texture from the add-ins. The almond and macadamia one was my favourite.)
 Sample from Candy Addiction, Montville, Queensland, Australia:
Peppermint candy (spit it out)
(Ugh. Sugar and grossness.)
Snack from Chocolate Country, Montville, Queensland, Australia: 
Assorted chocolate covered stuff
Chocolate covered honeycomb
(So much better than Crunchies, but this was fresher.) 
Dark chocolate covered ginger
(Yum. I love ginger and chocolate.)
Macadamia cluster (2)
(One of my childhood favourite chocolates!)
Dark chocolate covered almond (2)
Snack:
Chocolate covered anise ring
(So good! I didn't know what an anise ring was, but a chocolate covered gummy licorice-esque ring? I am so there.)
Dinner at Malaya Corner, Brisbane, Australia: 
Penang hokkien mee: prawn noodle soup (gave the egg, scallions & fried shallots to Trang)
(Added two cups of water to dilute the broth and scooped out about half a cup of oil. I'm also not a big prawn eater so I wasn't too keen about this soup, but it was alright and quite fulfilling. Huge portion.)
Snack:
Rest of the taro milk tea from Thursday
