The very first time I had a piece of Pavlova was about 10 years ago when I lived in Singapore. It was the "love at first sight" experience. I would say "Delightful" was the exact word that I could describe when I had the first bite.

Without knowing much of its history behind, I was quite confused where Pavlova was originated. I heard from both Australian and New Zealander. And I, soon, learned that you don't talk about the origination of Pavlova when the both nationalities present at the table.
