Pineapple Express | 39 Hercules Street, HAMILTON QLD 4007
I love our new
neighbourhood! Despite all my prior concerns, it turns out that the food
scene around Hamilton/Ascot really isn’t too shabby. Just last weekend, we
discovered a wonderful breakfast spot - Pineapple Express.
The talk of Pineapple Express
came up when I was at a recent media tasting lunch. Foodies around the table
exchanged rave reviews about the establishment, and I was kicking myself under
the table for missed attendance, granted that I was overseas for a
month, but still.
“Do I have sand between my
toes?”, stepping into this healthy wholefoods café, you will no doubt be taken
away by the fresh, vibrant colour schemes and the beach theme. Let the
sensation of sun, waves and ocean breeze overwhelm you. Don’t feel it? Well, at
least it’s one step closer to getting your bikini body ready with the food
that’s on offer at the Pineapple Express. Yes, the food is healthy. Think acai
bowls, CocoWhip™, and protein pancakes; but
healthy food by no means equals bland, boring food. In fact, the super
food French toast served with strawberries, berry compote and coyo ($15)
was a really delicious treat! Although, it would be nice if they were more generous with the strawberries;
the toast itself was finger-lickingly good, slightly burnt at the bottom with a
buttery, creamy texture. The coyo was light as air, yet with each bite, it
filled my mouth with ample taste of tropical fruit, not to mention that when
teamed up with the berry compote, it worked wonders. The other travel bunnie
had the traditional eggs benedict with ham, matcha-naise, served on
sourdough and spinach ($17). The eggs were done perfectly and as
for the match-naise, what an awesome idea.
Aside from
healthy food options, Pineapple Express also whips up some good drinks. I
enjoyed a nice, creamy matcha latte at my last visit, but I think King Kong
(which is made with banana, coconut coyo, chia sees, cinnamon, coconut water
with a hint of Manuka honey) and I will get along really fine.
Have you checked
your schedule to get onto the Pineapple Express?
