We had the opportunity to meet Mr Lindsay Bourke (Managing Director) and Ms Yeonsoon Bourke (Director) of Australian Honey Products Pty Ltd, which is a family owned and operated business. Lindsay was rather busy outdoors while Yeonsoon introduced to us to their wonderful products in-store.

have you tried Leatherwood Honey?


Tasmanian Leatherwood Honey has been awarded 12 times the World's Best Leatherwood Honey! Read more about leatherwood honey from beeswiki (cute, right?). Am not a honey connoisseur but one could taste the difference in leatherwood honey with its distinctive flavour and aroma.

If you're around Sheffield vicinity during the weekdays, why not drop by Australian Honey Products for a taste of the exceptional Leatherwood Honey.

I had fun tasting the various different types of honey available.

Kunzea Honey

Kunzea Honey is also another award winning honey, that is produced from the nectar of native Kunzea flower. Tasted lovely and is said to be good for gut health.



Vanilla Honey

all things honey related

Then, there's also herbal tea. Said to be quite popular, so I had a sip as well.

curious about this herbal tea

a little bit of herbal tea

warm water

drink to good gut health!

Ok, to me, I felt like it tasted abit like a herbal-ish apple cider warm version with honey. Hmm.

However, my eyes were drawn to the other types of drinks available that's honey related. Hehe.

[Travel Tasmania] Lobster Shack Tasmania @ Bicheno

1 comments

This place was just 10 to 15 minutes ride from The Pondering Frog where we had snacked prior to lunch. 


we're here!

the restaurant is down the stairs

 
enjoy the cold outdoors

seaside view

I was freezing, so nope, we didn't sit outdoors. The shop feels like a fast food type of place. Order at the counter and make payment, then the food and drinks will be served to your table. We chose the cold seafood platter that had oysters, half a lobster, and prawns, and placed additional ala-carte orders for fish and chips, salmon and salad.

The staff was nice and helpful with her recommendations when we seemed a tad lost when choosing the menu.

We didn't wait long for the food to arrive as the cold seafood platter was already pre-packed I believe.

half a lobster, prawns and oysters with 2 dips; tartar and seafood sauce

juicy fresh Tasmanian oysters

firm tiger prawns

The oysters here were clean tasting and not too briny. Thus far, all prawns that I've tasted in Melbourne and Tasmania were pretty firm in texture.

half a lobster

After tasting the cold seafood platter, I'd say skip the rest of the stuffs like prawns and oysters and just order up your lobsters! So sweet and half a lobster is not enough!

Greek Salad @AUD12

The last  bits to arrive was the hot food. We had the Greek salad, crispy skinned salmon and the fish and chips. Hmmm, I think I liked the battered fish and chips more than the salmon.

Crispy Skinned Salmon @AUD26

A nice pit stop to enjoy some lobsters.

whole lobster, next time perhaps?
