Cafe XXII Pyrmont

When I used to live in Pyrmont back in the good old days, I often come to Cafe XXII for breakfast, dinner, or dessert (the cafe is located behind the Star City casino). I never tried their lunch till 3 weeks ago. I had to go to Pyrmont for work & decided to drop by for lunch to refresh my memory about the cafe. My fave lunch menu is the Spaghetti Meatballs with pecorino cheese. I forgot my camera & my phone was dying too.

The following week I came back with my friend & ordered the same stuff again, i.e. the spaghetti meatballs & this time I brought my baby camera.

Staffs are very helpful & attentive, and I still see the same bubbly waiter that I saw about 2-3 years ago. He is the best & he does brilliant coffee.

The Big breakfast - sausage, hash brown, bacon, 2 poached eggs, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and toasts.

The yummylicious Spaghetti Meatballs with pecorino cheese - al dente spaghetti, flavoursome tomato based sauce & juicy meatballs.

The ultimate meatballs

Kazbah Breakfast 24/10/2009

I can hardly get myself out from the house & yet Middle Eastern buffet breakfast is on the agenda. We booked a table for 8 at 9am (took us 30 mins to get there - including parking), not sure how I can fit the whole thing in the morning. I will try my best.

Porridge with Pear and cinnamon dusting

Couscous with mixed nuts (pistacchio, almond, cashew) and dates
Supposed to have this with milk, I love it without milk.

Turkish bread with 3 different styles of egg
Nothing spectacular :o)

Lamb tajine - lamb, tomato, egg (AGAIN), pumpkin
Egg seems to be their must have items in the morning.
Eventhough I am not a big lamb fan, I can't stop eating it. This is the best amongst all.


Haloumi cheese, Sausage, Grilled tomato, Bacon, Potato Ball
Dissapointed with the cold haloumi and dry sausage.

Side dish - mushroom, beans, spinach


Final - Thick pancake with BUTTER on the top
I can feel my cholesterol is hiking up to the top of the mountain right now.

Final - Thick pancake with Chocolate ice cream

If you have large morning capacity, this is a place definitely worth going. For myself, I enjoyed the experience for sure with dinner being excluded on that day, I was so stuffed.

Cafe Morso Breakfast 15/10/09

I am so glad that I'm out of the fish tank today & I don't have to put up with sharks. Pheuwwwwwwwww.... wat a relief.
Anyhow, I was desperate to have
fresh air + water + scenery + breakfast = Cafe Morso !!
Located near Star City casino, this sexy cafe is one of my very many favourite place for breakkie.

Pain Perdu - French Toast w pear, ricotta, nuts & honey
This french toast is really devine, lightly fried & not the usual brown oil soaked french toast, generous amount of pistachios compliments the honey.
