Baked ricotta cheesecake with mixed berry compote and cream ($8.90)
Freshly squeezed orange juice ($5)
Iced Coffee ($5.50)
With this blog, I hope to make accessible to both foodies and non-foodies the opinion of a journalism student who has a lot to say about food (but no qualifications) on various restaurants and cafes in Australia, and eventually the rest of the world. I am quite picky when it comes to eating out and wasting my money on an experience that lasts only an hour or so. When choosing restaurants to visit I sometimes find myself trawling the internet for others' opinions on where to eat. Eatability is good. But others' blogs are better. I hope this blog may one day be of help in the same way.
So anyway, the best way to achieve my purpose would be to eat out a lot- at different restaurants- and document my exploits through images and text. The problem is I sometimes just crave something familiar and like to visit restaurants and cafes where I know I will get my money's worth. So, please, excuse the thousands of posts that I will continue to write about Envy, Plunge and Sideways, which are all wonderful cafes within walking distance that I frequently visit.
This outing took place yesterday morning. Yes, I did eat cheesecake for breakfast. And I followed it up with Mexican for dinner and delicious gelato (post to come). All in all, a very successful day. The cheesecake was spectacular! Even better than the one I raved about from Buzzzbar the other night. Envy, as I have said before, does good sweets- namely said item and the pear and raspberry bread also with mixed berry compote and ricotta.
I followed the cheesecake up with an iced coffee as I had a sore throat and ice cream usually makes it feel the slightest bit better. My friend ordered a freshly squeezed orange juice which, in my opinion, was quite exy.
As always, the service at Envy was poor. It took a while to catch the waitstaff's eye and actually receive menus. But we were in no rush, and 30 minutes spent in a serene courtyard with orange juice was the perfect cure for my friend's hangover.
