Christmas has definitely arrived here at Belly Rumbles.  Have you guys entered the wonderful Appeltiser competition yet?  We are giving away a $200 voucher for you to spend at PeepToe any way your little heart desires.  If you haven’t entered then be quick as entries close Monday 10th December at 5pm.

The lovely people at Gloria Jean’s are giving away prizes to three lucky Belly Rumbles readers, in order to celebrate the launch of their new high quality coffee capsules.  There are two major prizes and one runner up prize to giveaway.

Gloria Jean’s new coffee capsules are 100% ground Arabica coffee.  The freshness of the roasted ground coffee is locked in to deliver a fresh espresso shot with delicate aromas.  Each capsule contains 8 grams of coffee, many other brands only contain 4 or 5 grams.  This means you a  full bodied espresso from every Gloria Jean’s capsule.  The capsules can be used in any Caffitaly machine or the very popular Aldi Expressi machine.

Green Tea & Lemon Myrtle Crème Brulee + Nerada Giveaway {Closed}

I am not a dessert person, not at all.  If dining out, often when others are having dessert, I will opt for the cheese plate.  It will take something exceptional to head for something sweet, but there is one general exception.  Crème brulee, if I see it on the menu, then there is a high chance it will be chosen.  The magic of cracking through that thin toffee layer to get to a creamy custard wins me over every time.

High tea with Stephen Twining a new Aussie blend

Exciting news, Australia finally has its own tea blend, Australian Afternoon Tea,  thanks to Twinings.

Earlier this year Twinings set a challenge for 40 Australian celebrities to create their own perfect Australian Afternoon Tea blend.  Blending packs were sent out and our Aussie celebrities blended away.  The final results were sent over to London for assessment by a Twinings expert panel.

The top five celebrity blenders were; Radio Broadcaster Alan Jones, TV Personality Kerri-Anne Kennerley and her husband John, Singer John Williamson, Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd and Champion Surfer Layne Beachley.  It was then up to the public to vote for the winning blend, around 85,000 Australians ended up voting.

Stephen Twining

A high tea at the Observatory Hotel was the perfect setting to announce the winning blend, and Stephen Twining, 10th generation Twining Ambassador was in Australia to make that announcement.  It was for this reason I found myself sitting down for a friendly tête â tête with Stephen over a cup of Russian Caravan before the event.  The drawing room of The Observatory Hotel is absolutely stunning, very much the parlour for having tea. 

Stephen is the perfect example of an immaculately groomed English gentleman, with a manicure that puts my fingernails to shame.  Actually the manicure makes perfect sense, I am sure that every time he picks up a cup of tea people would be focusing on his hands. Read more →
