Dessert Delight - 11/12/10

We headed to Balmain for the day to try Adriano Zumbo’s famous desserts!

 Our hungry tummies directed us to a cafe for some lunch~

 The atmosphere was peaceful but something about the sticky tables and ultra bubbly warm tap water was quite unappealing.

Special of the Day, Prawn & Avocado Baguette $10.80

Quite a disappointment, this is a nice peaceful place to perhaps have a bit of coffee and tea but definitely would not come back for food. The combination of half cooked prawns (not very juicy) and milky tangy texture of mayonnaise made me quite certain that it was used to hide the lack of flavour in the prawns. 

Something about the sticky mayonnaise, the sticky table and bubbly warm tap water was all starting to make me feel sick.

Eggs Benedict $13.80, with english spinach extra $3.20; poached eggs, ham OR smoked salmon, hollandaise sauce on toasted turkish

 This was pretty average, with not much going on flavour wise. Would have been better with some spinach or avocado, but the extra $3.20 for something that should have been there already, was a bit of a let down.
