We've been coming to this cafe since not too long ago, and the food and coffee are great! The location is local in Penshurst train station, the staff are all very friendly, service is quite good too.

Here's some of the food K and I have eaten, although we have eaten here a numerous times, I just haven't posted the photos. I'll post them up hopefully later??? hehe

Btw i'm sorry but I don't remember the names of these dishes anymore... I had taken these photos a while ago :\

YUM YUM YUM

We find ourselves back for brunch :) the food was awesome. Here are some photos.

Just some close ups

Baked Eggs with Grilled Asparagus and Honey Smoked Bacon

...and after

Poached Eggs on a bed of Baby Spinach, with Bacon and Grilled Tomato

(the 'pesto' on top of the eggs really made the dish, i think it was roasted capsicum)

... before ...

... and after!...Gee, I wonder if it was delicious? :D hehe

Philippines Trip...

As we drove to another appointment, we drove by K's old childhood locations, and decided to buy some of their food hehe. We stopped by Becky's Kitchen. It was a small shop but looking inside they produced a LOT of filo sweets, cakes and some other things.
We weren't quite sure what to get so we ended up getting the sampler pack (of 6 pieces), just to taste the different types of cakes, instead of buying really big cakes for just the two of us.


In one of the malls (Glorietta 5) there is Felly J's. They served traditional Filipino dishes, very yummy! :D
1. Iced Tea and Dalandan 2. Chicken Inasal 3. Pork Sinigang (soup) 4. Sago Gulaman (contains jelly like pearls which are chewy)

For dinner we dined at Circles buffet within Shang ri la Hotel. They had all different types of cuisines, from fresh seafood, filipino sweets, indian, chinese and a few others.
I was keen to taste their fresh seafood since eating at Cafe Mix, which I in the end don't recommend based on the taste of the oysters and mussels. Unfortunately after eating the seafood (so I think), I felt ill and spent the rest of the trip with a small appetite. A very depressing second half of the trip.

Besides the not so fresh seafood, the sweets were great and the other 'cooked' food wasn't so bad. At one stage, I ate some of the cold meats, and ate this mushy like meat and it had melted in my mouth quite fast. In the end I found out it was foi gras, which I found very weird and fatty. I guess it was something to try anyways hehe.

Did I say that we were going to come back here? Ta-dah! Dinner is served. ;)
We had a 3 course menu for $47.00 plus corkage and a chai latte.  I apologise for the lack of proper food description, as we were meaning to take a photo of the menu but promptly forgot! We got too distracted awaiting the meal that was to come.

Served with complimentary sourdough bread & butter


For Entree..Warm Chicken Salad, bocconcini, rocket, grilled capsicum


Seared Prawn Salad, honey smoked bacon, baby spinach, walnut
The bacon was a thick slab, not your ordinary supermarket bacon. So tasty. We were fighting over this.

A wedge of iceberg, nicely dressed and still crisp, served to accompany our mains

A bowl of chips... This was nice too
Confit Duck Leg, baby spinach, grapefruit segments, roasted beetroot salad
Scotch Fillet steak, green beans, crumbed onion rings.


Creme Brulee with Coconut Wafer It was BIG BOWL of dessert and it was sooo good. We both got the same thing, as we couldn't resist.

These cakes were so yummy. My favorite would have to be the mango.. which is the yellowish one hehe.




I thought this was pretty cool or quirky to have in the cafe, so I took a photo of it too hehe

..and in case you want to store the cakes (ours didn't last long at all) they have provided a suitable temperature, how considerate :D

Decided to look for Adora and found it to be only a small cafe best suited for the locals who come by for their regular coffees and treats for the kiddies.
My partner and I had some Hot chocolate to drink in, and we received two chocolates of our own choice.

Couldn't exactly remember what we got but one of them was lime which surprisingly tasted beautiful!

Obviously two pieces weren't enough so we decided to take some home :D enjoy the pics.





I think this is the one with Lime. YUMMO!

Here's the take away bag, ain't it cool! they really present their chocolates with specialty.. does that make sense? hehe

Pistachio with chocolate and nougat mixed with some dried fruit.

..and the hazelnut meringue had its one special box since it was soo big.



It was also cool, incase you for forget the names of the chocolates, they provided us a list of chocolates with PHOTOS! :D but ummm, while writing this, i'm not sure where the list went :\ sorry.
