Corn fritters

I would love to say this tastes as good as it looks, but unfortuneately it was rather plain. The only part I enjoyed was the bacon, and the rest was just mediocre. Really not worth the price, and I fail to understand why this place received such praise from people we know.

Chicken sandwich

This was overall quite refreshing and zesty despite it’s simple look. As a lover of anything fused with coconut, it enabled me to accept that the bread was a little too hard to chew. The tender chicken with the refreshing crunch of the cucumber made a light tasty lunch =)

Tasty goodness

It feels like quite a while since we've updated, so here's a quick little post on what we've been up to!

Our dear friend J prepared this lovely brunch for us~ She is THE number ONE housewifey! If she was a boy, we would marry her instantly !

The pink wine was a quick seller, it was sweet and pleasant matching the fine beams of radiance shining through the day…

The best pear rocket salad we have ever tasted, no joke there. There was a fine balance of balsamic sourness complementing the sweetness of the pears. The rocket lettuce and grated cheddar added that extra crunch..

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.
