Chelsea Tea House- Avalon

So everytime I say to my other half I'm hungry! I can feel him getting nervous. I see him slowly reaching for his wallet looking into it and saying a farewell to his hard earned cash... Why? Because when I go out for food I get so over whelmed by the menu that I usually end up ordering more than I should. Anyone else have that problem?? So on this particular day I had a huge craving for sweets. I wanted giant slices of cake, sticky caramel and lemony tarts. I had walked past Chelsea Tea House many times before and I had always said to myself I have to give it a go. I envisioned high tea style food and dainty tea cups. No dainty tea cups here!I was slightly disappointed that my dream of sticky caramel slowly melted away. Sulking slightly something on the Menu caught my eye and instantly my taste buds perked up and I was happy again... 

Yakiniku Restaurant- Wakana

Vegetarians and Vegans out there beware, This is not the post for you. Meat lovers... Enjoy and try not to eat the screen. So I have a question for everyone. Do you ever find yourself saying "I'll have my steak medium please" and your steak arrives at your table looking juicy and tender, you turn to the person next to you and you do that weird smile nod thing. You cut into the steak and it basically MOO's at you ? Now you look closely and you realize it looks juicy because it is still bleeding.

Well luckily for everyone I have found a place that solves the problem of under cooked meat and the awkwardness of sending something back only to spend the rest of the meal wondering if someone has tampered with it as revenge... (Don't deny it, I know you all think it).

Balkan Bake - The Bakery Cafe

Breakfast is a meal that whether you admit it or not we tend to neglect. I know I commit this heinous crime from time to time and spend the rest of the morning imagining doughnuts, bagels and bacon strips talking to me.... Until of course the bacon strip punches me on the arm because I'm not listening to them. My big sis and I decided to search for breakfast after I spend about 30 mins groaning about how I am on the brink of starvation while she slowly gets ready ( A little over dramatic I know).

Where does one head to when they are starving and don't know what they want? Balmain of course. A place where the streets are lined with cafes and antiques. Your idea of heaven may not be blowing dust off a $5 antique jar while simultaneously inhaling the scent of fresh bread and bacon.... But mine is.

My Food Fix at Element 6

 

"There it is" My big sis points at the Element 6 sign, "Oh, I thought you said it was quirky"... she gives me a smile "Wait till you get inside". So I thought this was one of those situations, where someone casually throws around the word quirky. Don't get me wrong I've been caught doing it. Picking up a polka dotted skirt and calling it quirky, looking at a twirly straw and calling it quirky and of course the times when your friends fashion choices are so wrong you either have to tell them they look cute or quirky just to convince yourself you aren't telling them a lie (after all what does cute or quirky even mean?). Luckily today was not one of those situations. Let me show you why....

Hollandaise Heaven at The Chalkboard Cafe

 

"What should we eat today??" That is the question that my big sis and I ask each other whenever we meet up. No "hello, how are you?", "what should we do?" or " whats new?". Just straight to the most important question. Well this particular day we decided that we wanted to go to Patisse a french dessert place that we had previously been to in Alexandria.... So you can imagine our surprise when we arrived in Alexandria and where Patisse had been was this New Cafe called The Chalkboard cafe. Big sis and I peeked and squinted through the window of this new cafe almost expecting Patisse and desserts to magically appear before our eyes. With our tummies rumbling we decided to give this cafe a go and find ourselves dessert at another location after.

 

The place where Patisse was, and now where The Chalkboard Cafe resides.
