South Coast, again!

All excited to have brunch at South Coast again as the previous time was SO GOOD!! Was going to spend the night at MBS so B and I decided to have brunch first before checking in.

Ricotta pancakes, caramelized bananas ($14.00)

I ordered the same Ricotta pancakes as the previous time. However, this time round, it was much bigger and less fluffy. Somewhat disappointing! Had to request for additional caramel sauce to go with the pancakes. 

Beer battered barramundi, fries ($26.00)

I think he was less impressed with their breakfast menu that he went for something more for lunch. But, it was a good choice indeed. Barramundi was fresh and lightly battered. Love the thick cut fries too! 

Accompanied with a mug of beer, it was simply perfect!

Wild Honey

My dear friend was sweet enough to pop by town to have lunch with me. She wanted to have brunch so we decided to go to Wild Honey. It was an ordinary weekday but yet there was quite a wait during lunch hour.

European ($18.00) - Wild Honey's version of Eggs Benedict

Two perfectly poached eggs with sautéed mushrooms and proscuitto on toasted brioche. It was delicious! Brioche is the bestest thing ever. 

Tunisian ($18.00) 

Spanish version of baked eggs, stew with chorizo sausages, two fried eggs and brioche toast. Overall slightly spicy but dip the brioche toast into the stew and it's lovely. 

Love the place and hoping to try out the other dishes there. Although the dishes were served fast, they expect you to finish it fast too. Once you are done with your dish, they'll immediately clear and rush you off when there's a long queue outside. Definitely not a place to chill out with friends for long period of time.

Marmalade Pantry

Marmalade pantry has been a favourite ever since I was introduced to its Crab Ceasar. Since I was heading to town, decided to drop by Marmalade Pantry for brunch. It was packed during weekend brunch hour and the wait was approximately 30 mins. Recommended to make reservations in advance.

I had the Sausage with scrambled eggs on Panini toast. The panini toast was alright although I would prefer it to have been the normal sourdough toast. It came with their house fries which was delicious.

This is Marmalade Pantry's version of full breakfast - Eggs Any Style ($20.00). It is almost the same as the above however I love the multigrain toast.

Would say this is the most sinful Iced Mocha ($9.00) I had ever had to date. Thick chocolate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it was way too chocolatey and there is no way one could finish it alone.

The only problem about here is that it's really difficult to get the attention of the staff. Although there was plenty of staff around however they just seem to be busy with other things.

The Plain

Reminiscing the days in Melbourne with a good friend of mine so we decided to have (what we do best) brunch at an Aussie cafe. 

Darling's Egg 

If you are not that hungry, you could go for the half version. Poached eggs with ham, cheese and roma tomatoes on Sourdough toast. Nothing special about this. I didn't remember being overly excited about this dish. Decent eggs benedict I'd say. 

A good place to chill and catch up with friends! :)

All day breakfast

Food for Thought

Decided to make a trip back to Food for Thought hoping we'll be able to get seats on a Sunday afternoon. To my delight, the wait was not too long before there was a bench seat for us. This was highly recommended by a friend of mine for its full works and pancakes.

And that was exactly what we ordered. 

Couldn't decide on our individual dishes, so we ordered both to share! 

The Full Works ($18.00) came with scrambled eggs, bacon, mushrooms, sausages and hash brown. After a really good scrambled eggs at House, this in turn was dry and chunky. Did not like the texture of it however, the hash brown was good. 

Gula Melaka pancakes ($6.00) fell short as the sauce was way too sweet and pancakes were soaked in it. I didn't really like the pancakes and gave up eating half way. 

Overall, it was a disappointing visit. However, this remains a popular brunch place so I might give it another try.

Breakfast till 5.30pm

Barracks at House

Back at Dempsey to check out the other cafes. Today, we decided on House. Hidden at the back of Dempsey, it was quite packed on a Sunday afternoon. Surprisingly, I bumped into a friend when we arrived and she told me the eggs benedict weren't good. So it had me thinking what else should I order. Eggs bens and pancakes are my all time favourite!

Decided to go for the Barracks Freeform Eggs ($18.00). It comes with a choice of eggs (I had scrambled), mushrooms, grilled tomato, sausage and toast. It is almost like a full works/breakfast. One thing I must highlight, scrambled eggs were perfectly done. It's slightly watery, buttery and absolutely delicious. I loved every bite. Definitely my place to go for good scrambled eggs.

Brunch: Saturday & Sunday 11am - 4pm 

Strictly Pancakes

I was supposed to have brunch at Food for Thought that day. Unfortunately, it was closed. So we ended up walking to Strictly Pancakes to have a go and the raved pancakes.

They had a selection of either savoury or sweet pancakes. It was refreshing to see savoury pancakes and so I had the Garlic Prawns Pancakes ($14) served with herb butter and maple syrup. I thought the maple syrup and butter was unnecessary as neither of it would go well with savoury pancakes. 

The garlic sauce was very good and it was packed with lots and lots of garlic. Prawns were very fresh as well. Fluffy pancakes were definitely a plus point. Never underestimate the size of it as I was very full by the time I was done with the second pancake. 

My friend had her share of sweet pancakes (Banana scotched pancakes) and she loved it!

Canele Patisserie

Savoury crepe with Paris Ham, Emmental Cheese and sunny side up was cooked to perfection. Always had a liking for crepes and this was really good. The center yolk was still runny when served. 

Would definitely return for another visit!
