A bright, vibrant, healthy salad bowl.
.
It contains a pretty plated mix of quinoa, orange zest pickled carrot strips, apple cider pickled red cabbage strips, fresh kale leaves, roasted pumpkin chunks, marinated goat cheese, a sous-vide egg, fresh avocado chunks, spiced pumpkin seeds, and a lemon wedge.
.
Mix it all together before enjoying. You'll get a complex layering of textures, crunchy juicy crispy tender soft; along with a vibrant burst of vegetal earthy sweet sour zesty fruity eggy flavours. Rather appetizing, and also good for sharing.

It satisfied me for the rest of the hour. Great coffee, great baristas, (thank you for encouraging me to not get a takeaway).

.
The whole grilled padron peppers have a crunchy moist texture, and a delicate smoky vegetal sweet spice flavour.
.
Their peculiarity lies in the fact that, while their taste is usually mild, a minority (~25%) are particularly spicy hot. There is no way of determining whether a given padron pepper will be hot or mild, short of actually eating it.
.
Delicious bar snack (and bar challenge too), I could finish this on my own!.

Part 2 of the review is now online!.
.
A typical American breakfast / brunch dish, with a fluffy soft pancake (made with eggs, vanilla bean extract, Japanese Hokkaido milk, all-purpose flour, caster sugar, and unsalted butter) infused with ricotta cheese.
.
The pancake is served with fresh juicy mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries), icing sugar, house infused cardamom maple syrup, crisp ricotta cheese wafers, edible flowers, and a creamy smooth vanilla bean ice cream.
.
Notes of floral earthy sweet sour cheesy flavours, very nice. Their house made ice cream tends to melt pretty fast though. Looks so pretty, and is so delicious.

This dessert cake has a lovely fruity sweet spice cheesy flavour. Beautiful. Wanted more.

I’ve never explored this area in the daylight, it’s usually a nighttime haunt with loads of cool rooftop bars and restaurants. I saw about @kafeutu through a friend’s feed last week, so today seemed the perfect opportunity to check out this unique African cafe! There was goat meat curry on the menu, neither of us fancied that...so I had their Quinoa and Chia Seed Pudding off their brunch menu. Chia seed pudding I usually find very bland and a bit too mushy, but with the addition of tricoloured quinoa it had a lot more bite and texture. It was accompanied by Greek yoghurt, seasonal fruit (caramelised banana, dragon fruit and blood orange), roasted almonds and drizzled with pure maple syrup! Washed down with an iced flat white.

This features fresh chunks of tender bouncy chicken thigh, coated in a buttermilk spice batter. The result is a crunchy bite, with a bold salty savoury flavour.
.
But the star is the trio of home made sauces.
.
The mango chili marmalade (made with fresh mango, black pepper, red onions, and habanero chili) which has a sharp tangy fruity sweet spicy flavour.
.
The congo bongo (made with grilled bell peppers / capsicum, grilled white onions, a house spice blend, natural peanut butter, and habanero chili) which has a vegetal earthy sweet spice nutty flavour
.
The house chili (made with garlic, bird's eye chili, lemon juice, butter, and habanero chili) which has a sharp spicy zesty tangy flavour with a lingering burn.
