Authentically Aussie: Australia's world-famous Lamington for sale at Dusit Thani in Dubai

The humble Aussie Lamington, now
available in downtown Dubai.
Over the years, Australian cuisine has embraced a unique food culture that takes its inspiration from all around the world. 

The food scene in Australia is unpretentious and a reflection of the relatively young country that is culturally diverse. 

It is a melting pot of indigenous people and a migrant population and the cuisine is a combination of native ingredients and cooking influences, techniques and tastes from South East Asian, Italian, British and American cuisines, to name a few. 

With such an enormous appetite for dishes from around the world, Australian diners usually make for adventurous eaters.

The Australian Lamington

Lord Lamington
Referred to as the 'National Cake of Australia', the dessert is thought to be named after Lord Lamington, a former Governor of Queensland.

Lamington is a square-shaped sweet sponge cake with a jam filling that is dipped in chocolate and coated in coconut.

It sometimes comes in two halves with a layer of either cream or jam in the middle.

The cake is perfectly paired with coffee and is a popular evening snack. 

The dish is so loved that July 21 is celebrated as 'National Lamington Day.' 

Try it at Jones The Grocer - Dusit Thani Dubai, Trade Centre Area, 04 3174457.
