Portofinos Restaurant, Mindarie

30 December 2010

Twice cooked crispy skin pork belly with apple puree, braised cabbage, seared scallops, Portofino's, Mindarie

Buffet breakfast, Hyatt Hotel Canberra

23 December 2010

The buffet has a great selection of hot and cold breakfast dishes, fruit and breads. Don’t just eat the buffet scrambled eggs, tasty as they are – take advantage of the egg chef who’ll cook you fried or poached eggs and omelettes too! Food and service throughout our stay were excellent – we’ll happily stay at the Hyatt Hotel Canberra again.

Cafe Essen and sculptures, Canberra

13 December 2010

French toast with bacon and maple syrup from Cafe Essen, Canberra

Lashings of bacon. Chunky toast, plain buttered or French. Freshly fried crispy corncakes. Roll it, dip it, drown it in maple syrup. That’s a beautiful breakfast in Canberra city. Also in this post: a suggestive sheep…? :)
