Skyve Elementary Bistro and Bar

It's Sunday again! Have read some pretty good reviews about Skyve so I decided to check it out. Made a reservation the night before using Chope and it was such a breeze. 

Arrived right on time and boy, was I glad that I made the reservation.

Before I could take a look at the menu, my attention was taken away by the table mat. Each table mat is different and unique. I loved mine as it shows the different stages of a sleephead. Pretty interesting read for a morning! 

My pick was Ricotta Pancakes ($12.00) with caramelized almond and passionfruit butter. The passionfruit butter is amazing! Match it together with the pancakes, it brings out a sourish yet very refreshing taste. 

B had the Croque Madame ($12.00). Don't be fooled by the simple facade of this dish. It was the better choice. The brioche toast took it to a whole new level. It was polished within minutes! 

This chic and modern bistro with a subtle old school is definitely a place to hangout with friends. Love the quietness of the area too! However, you'll definitely need to drive there. Definitely will be back!

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!

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.

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!
