Welcome to Beauty World. Looking for Burpple Guides places?

Patronised c&c thanks to Burpple 1 for 1 beverages. Undeniably the cups are huge but not something I would pay full price for. Pictured above are the hojicha and matcha lattes at approx $8 each at regular price. However, it’s worth considering if you are looking for a place to hang out as it is really peaceful.

a cafe with good vibes! got an apple pie and some sausage roll. wasn’t anything spectacular but it’s good for its price point

Ordered 1-for-1 brunch, Big Breakfast and Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict.
Big Breakfast: expected it to be better for the price, the toast was kinda hard to cut, bacon was slightly over fried and hard, the egg mushrooms and sausage were okay
Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict: this was good, but sadly they ran out of brioche bread and I had to top up $3 for croissant

A standard Eggs Benedict but the Hollandaise sauce was pretty minimal and the poached egg was slightly overcooked, leading to quite a dry dish. We think their cakes are much better than their mains. Fortunately there’s the Burpple 1-for-1 Brunch deal so it made the food a lot more reasonably priced.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon and the place wasn’t too crowded. The staff were friendly and the overall atmosphere of the cafe was warm and cozy.

Pretty standard breakfast set - each element was executed well. Nothing amazing or special though.

Honestly $28 seems quite high of a price tag for what’s actually on the plate, though there is no additional GST or service charge, which was a pleasant surprise. We used the Burpple 1-for-1 Brunch deal so it made it more reasonably priced.

If you like lemon meringue tarts, do give their lemon meringue cake a try - the lemon meringue, lemon curd and vanilla sponge was really refreshing. The only difference between the usual tarts and this cake is that the tarts are usually much more sour - this cake was more towards the sweet side, which I (and my sweet tooth) personally preferred.

Pistachio lovers - this is for you. The cake was dense, similar to a fruit or pound cake - but with pistachio bits embedded, adding that extra crunch. With the sweet pistachio cream all around and sour raspberry jelly in between - every bite was a burst of nutty and fruity. We enjoyed it very much. It is quite filling so do make some space in your tummy for it!

Dinner before class, back when I studied nearby.

The fillets of boneless king fish are larger than most, tender moist flaky in texture, satisfying with smoky meaty sweet savoury spice flavour.

Luscious mint chutney on the side, bright with vegetal herbal sweet flavour, to pair.

📍Carpenter and cook (beauty world)

Ordered very standard brunch items such as big breakfast [$28], pulled pork eggs Benedict [$25] , french toast [$28] and smoked salmon eggs Benedict [$26]

The one that stood out to me was smoked salmon eggs benedict as the eggs were nicely poached and the salmon was well seasoned:)

Passionfruit tart [$8] had a good mix of citrus and sweetness while the banofee [$8] one was eye opening as i have never tried a combination of tiramisu and banana in the form of a tart

Raspberry lychee and rose chia sweet was suppppppper yummy 10/10 recommend!! Could taste all the flavours and the fake flowers definitely added a flavorful touch to it . Lemon meringue cake [$8] might be a little too sour for my liking :<

Ambience of the cafe was v old school and homely !! Had 1-1 deals for the mains, desserts and drinks but otherwise would be rather pricey for the tiny portions:”(

The gravy is thick and chunky, with pleasant mild vegetal sweet spice savoury flavours from the blend of pureed tomatoes, tender sliced red onions, and whole dried red chili.
.
The boneless cream dory fish fillets are flaky soft and moist, picking up the tasty notes from the gravy.
.
Chunks of crisp juicy bell peppers / capsicum lend a nice vegetal bitter herbal sweet contrast.

1-for-1 Beverage: We liked the 𝗜𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 ($6) for its fruity profile, while the smooth and robust 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 ($6.50) was very palatable.

We also tried one of the pastries, 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗰 ($6.50). Berries sitting on cream adorned a longish bun that boasted the crispy, flakey texture of a croissant. Not only did it look like royalty, it tasted exquisite too.

The pastries and coffees at @carpenterandcook impressed, and I'd return for them. Skip the minuscule mains.

Most cafes have two poached eggs and two muffins (or equivalent) in their Eggs Benedict dishes, but the 𝗣𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗘𝗴𝗴𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁 here has only one each. The palm-sized sandwich and widowed Eggs Benedict are definitely overpriced without the 1-for-1 deal.
