Spanish donut & chocolate mmm
My first experience of eating Spanish churros — or I guess most memorable — was back in February 2006 in a basic restaurant I think called Txokolat outside the train station on Calle Hurtado de Amézaga, Bilbao, Spain. It was very popular and I noticed most customers were eating churros. So ever since then I made this churros my authentic standard.
For possibly the best freshly made churros in Sydney I think San Churro has been the closest I've found to my Spanish experience. Although from memory the Spanish churros version was slightly more wider/thicker and the donut tasted fluffier/lighter. San Churro stores seem to be popping up around NSW including Bondi, Chatswood, Miranda, Campbelltown and soon in Parramatta. The dark chocolate was very smooth and had just the right amount of bitterness/sweetness for me. If you need a serious sugar hit then this is your place although be aware it can get very crowded at times.
