A Breakfast for Champions!!

First contestant:

SCRAM SPECIAL

generous helping of eggs scrambled with bacon, ham, tomatoes, capsicum, and mushrooms served with a warm toasted bagel.

Second contestant:

MJ WORKS

this is another killer serving of two sunny side up eggs, two thick white toast, bacon, sauteed mushrooms, grilled roma tomatoes and mysterious sausages (couldnt tell if its lamb or beef)..

this plate is full of fresh stuff bursting with goodness and explosion of flavours in every bite.. the mushrooms are so bouncy and fresh especially with a dash of black pepper.. the tomato is so juicy and succulent, the bacon is well bacon lah.. always so good and sinful.. but the eggs………… ooooohh the eggs are just awesome!!

Third contestant:

BUTTERMILK PANCAKE WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM

Last but not least!! Don’t look down on this unassuming pancake.. This buttermilk pancake is as big as a regular pizza in pizza hut and about one inch thick.. topped with vanilla ice cream and sprinkles of icing sugar and maple syrup..

warm crispy at the edges and soft on the inside pancake topped with vanilla ice cream and/or maple syrup.. gets better as the ice cream melts and makes the pancake a little soggy.. also tried it with the maple syrup.. couldn’t decide which taste better.. the maple syrup gives the pancake a distinct flavour which is hard to describe but is so so good..

THE WINNER!!

Buttermilk Pancake =D

Part 4: Melb by night

Cousin introduces us (yeah including my cool dad) to melbourne night life.. streetwalk cafe!! you heard it right, sitting by the street in the middle of a cold winter night.. and no, i think i’m still very much sane thank-you-very-much.. haha

its thanks to these that we manage to survive the cold to look YENG!! haha

warmers hung like lights above our heads.. can really feel the heat its emiting..

choose from diabetic inducing cakes

OR

artherosclerotic freshly fried fries (dang, its a tongue twister) which are addictive

PLUS

a cuppa fresh hot chocolate with marshmellows would make your night in Melbourne so complete you’ll go to bed smiling =D

this cup of hot choc was exceptionally good seeing that they added chocolate on the sides and shaved some on the top.. so full of chocolatey goodness!!

melbourne is just such an exciting place with so much to explore and so many different cultures to get to know and taste.. which explains why my posts mainly consist of food and more food!! ahaha..

Part 2 – A bite of Melbourne..

Carrot cake with lemon icing.. so soft and filled with goodness.. and just the right amount of sweet tanginess in the icing.. soooo good..

A cappucino with lovely heart shape.. dad said it was gooooddd….

One of the many brands of sushi.. at about AUD 2 a piece, its really a mouthful with generous amounts of fillings.. good for people like me who are hungry all the time =D  worth living in melb just for this.. hhehehe..

this is the raw salmon handroll.. guess the picture is worth a thousand words.. comes with its own fish dispenser soya sauce thingamajig.. one squirt and its good to go..

again, one of the many brands.. this is a sandwich.. chicken and bacon with djoinase sauce.. hope i got the spelling right..

its huge i tell you.. one sandwich abour AUD 8 is as large as 4 slices of malaysian wholemeal bread.. can share with dad and both of us are super full after that.. haha.. good stuff..

smoothie.. this one is a strawberry smoothie with skimmed milk and low fat yoghurt.. haha.. healthy option after a day of gluttony haha..

KFC!! you must think i’m nuts for eating KFC here of all things.. but its seriously good here.. these are called wicked wings.. cos its just the wing part.. so juicy and nice and spicy!! woot!!

KFC fried here are better than the MC D ones.. haha.. its crispy and salty on the outside and soft fluffy potatoes on the inside.. and no, i’m not being biased towards melb food haha.. and no, wasn’t ravenous either..

Chicken and bacon risotto at kelly’s hotel.. so good with generous amounts of chicken and artery clogging bacon with rinds of fat.. the garlic bread was really good too.. tasted a bit like the rice version of carbonara..

Another winner from Kelly’s: mixed berries cheesecake which comes with (from top right) vanilla ice cream and wafer bits, fresh strawberries and whipped cream, small but awesome serving of caramel custard, and some shaved chocolate.. the sides was all very yummy but the cake was fabulous.. sour berry topping with crispy biscuit base sandwiching a thick slice of cheese which is so very very good..

– Stay tuned for Part 3 –
