Plenty | 284 Montague Road, WEST END QLD 4101
With
my expected due date fast approaching, I'm trying to spend as much
alone time as I can with the other travel bunnie. I feel like I've
become this demanding little girl. I hardly want to spend even a
fraction of a second with anyone else but the other travel bunnie.
Driven by my newly developed selfishness, I decided not to go back to
the Gold Coast last weekend (when we usually would pay a visit to my
parents at least every fortnight).
To
start our Saturday, we decided to have breakfast at the much raved
about Plenty in West End. The West End Farmers Market was on and it
was almost impossible to find a parking spot. The other travel bunnie
dropped me off at the front of the café so that we could get a table
ASAP. The industrial space, turned food destination was jammed packed
and filled with an aromatic smell of freshly grounded coffee beans.
The
breakfast menu, which changes regularly was written on a huge
blackboard. In the mood for something savoury, I opted for the Open
sarny of chorizo, corn, cos, avocado & egg
($14.50) and the other travel bunnie decided on the Baked
eggs w' Merguez sausage, spinach, fetta, tarator & herbs
($14.50). We placed our order at
the counter at 9.32am.
So
we sipped on our drinks; a mocha and a coconut water, raspberry and
mint frappé. We waited and waited... twenty minutes and there was
nothing. Thirty minutes and still nothing. This pregnant woman's
gotta eat and I was way beyond hungry. I drew the line at forty
minutes and asked a waitstaff on our food. And it worked! Our
breakfast arrived five minutes later.
I
wanted to hate the food but I couldn't. I found myself devouring the
food off the plate like a Dyson. The combination of the chorizo, corn
and avocado was so tasty and crunchiness of the cos lettuce worked
wonders. I was surprised that such a simple dish could make me so
happy. The other travel bunnie also loved the balance of saltiness
and texture in his dish.
Turns
out, if you have plenty of time, you can be guaranteed to get good
food at this trendy breakky hotspot.
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $39.50
