Aero

We stopped at Aero café on George St, Sydney, for Breakfast as we couldn't resist the $3.99 opening breakfast opening special

Two thick slices of buttered toast with smoky bacon and two poached eggs $3.99 opening special

Fantastic runny eggs (although they had been cooked with vinegar) exactly what we needed on a rainy morning in Sydney!

We are on our way out of the country for a little while so I'm not sure what the next post will be.

The Boy is back in Town

Breakfast at ETC (East Terrace Continental)

East Terrace Continental (ETC) is probably my favorate breakfast place in Adelaide.


The boy took me here when I first arrived in Adelaide. I ordered a ETC works, full breakfast, when it arrived I cut my first peice of bacon and my breafast ended up upside down on the floor. I started my very British appologising,"Oh dear, no it was my fault, dreadfully sorry..." when the waitress whisked it away and appeard a few moment s later with a new breakfast from the kitchen. I was so Impressed with the service I have recomended this place time and time again.


Today was no disapointment, We ordered breakfast at the front counter and impressivly quickly it arrived at the table.



I ordered the ETC Full breakfast.


The boy ordered the Mixed Grill

Champagne Breakfast at the Stamford Grand Glenelg

The boys parents gave us a Champagne breakfast gift voucher for Christmas at the Stamford Grand.

I bought a new camera so this post is all photos.

Very nice breakfast, lovely way to start a Sunday.

Charlies Pho Shack

Saturday morning breakfast for me is usually around lunch time.
I headed into the city to meet Vix.
Vix wanted hot and sour soup and she kew just the place to satisfy her tastebuds.
We wandered through the Gouger Street throngs and picked out a table at Charlies Pho Shack.


The menu (sorry for the dodgy photo) is small but has a lot of options as I was hungover I deliberated for an age and finaly settled on the Wonton Noodle soup($7.50 regular)


My Wonton soup was nice the wontons were wonderful, soft on the outside but the meat hadn't gone mushy still a little bitey and a really nice flavour. My noodles were thin yellow noodles and were very tasy and quite short only a little slurping required. The Boc Choy was crunchy in the stems and had that full of healthy green flavour. The broth was a little disapointing very mild, not the big flavour hit I was looking for.


Vix's Hot and sour Chicken soup ($7.50 regular) was good a nice hot chilli shean to the top and the chicken had picked up the flavours well. The broth was better ut still didn't leave us licking out our bowls

Weekends in Adelaide

On Friday night I met up with a few friends for after work drinks at the Metro Hotel on Grote Street. the Metro used to be a dodgy TAB bar which was inundated with people for around 10 minutes each evening around 7pm as people going to the theatre across the road had a pre show drink. But otherwise was left to hardened locals. Now it's under new ownership and with surprisingly few changes have made it a fantastic Friday night haunt with Live music and pin ball!

On Saturday we went out for breakfast at e.t.c (East Terrace Continental) which is my favorite Breakfast place in the whole of Adelaide. I had the full breakfast and the boy had the mixed Grill. I love e.t.c. because the first time we went there I managed to drop my untouched full breakfast on the floor whilst cutting my first mouthful of bacon. The waitress whisked it away and replaced with another one almost instantly! I was so impressed with the service and it's been fantastic ever since.

On Sunday I met a friend at the goodwood markets Kuhl Kooking cafe. The Cafe makes Breakfasts with Market produce and fantastic Robe butcher sausages. We had tasty B.LT.'s (mine was no T and add avocado) We picked up a few things from the Norton Summit venison stall and decided a BBQ was the order of the day. We went for a bit of a bike ride to Waterfall Gully with a few friends to work up an appetite. The Ride was challenging... the boy got a puncture, then my chain came off, then his chain came off, I was promised that is was flat... it wasn't... it was very uphill but I made it! We got to the car park admired the waterfall (which was flowing as there has been lots of rain here recently) and made directly for the bar at the restaurant. A coopers pale hit the spot... Ah beer with bits in! And we set off home, which to be fair was all downhill, having earned out BBQ tea.
