Coffee vs Burger

Friday I was wondering if I should eat at Gourmet Burger (it would be my first visit) or return to Antipodean.

Decisions decisions.


In the end Antipodean or rather, coffee, won hah..hah..hah...


The ice Latte was served in a tall glass instead of the usual wine glass. The poor Teddy bear was almost submerged in the Latte.

What to eat? I wanted Spaghetti with Beef and Lamb Meatballs but was informed that there is "no meatballs".


So Bagel with Chorizo, Tomato, Mozzarella and Tomato Pesto it was.


It looked pretty good.


The salad dressing (which I like) was terribly sweet that day.


The bagel was delicious as the chorizo was smokey and savory.


Dessert - Carrot Cake which was excellent.


My brother had earlier mentioned their Hummingbird Cake (not in the menu) and I saw the cake at the counter when I went to make payment. Next time!


At The Starling I passed by Young Curves. I have no business going inside this outlet because my curves are old.


There seems to be some promotions.


Even at the next door lingerie shop.


But I have no interest in these things.

What I like is this.


Ah! Kitchen appliances.


Air fryer with glass basket.


Glass is preferable to those non-stick baskets which can leach chemicals.


I already have two air fryers. So I have no business coveting anymore air fryers. So I walked away.

  2. A pleasant little outing with its own quiet decisions along the way. The iced latte with the teddy nearly disappearing does sound like one of those small moments that sticks in the memory more than the meal itself. The bagel combination also sounds like it turned out to be the right call in the end, especially with that smoky chorizo.

  4. Now your teddy made me laugh. So cute with only the head popping above the coffee. Wow, you got a tall glass of coffee...a lot more coffee than the usual wine glass...lol!

    Oh, you had the All Day Breakfast instead of the Big Breakfast, that's why you didn't get the mushrooms. And yes, they use back bacon here, not streaky bacon (I guess you get a bigger piece with back bacon coz streaky bacon tends to shrink after cooking)! ;D Hope you get to try the BB & Fish & Chips soon. P/S: Yeah, I think you came to my blog only a year later.

    1. hah..hah... I was very surprised when the coffee came like that! Wonder why they didn't use the wine glass as usual. You are right, there was more coffee and the teddy bear melted better too.

      Yup next couple of visits I will try the Big Breakfast and Fish and Chips. I feel like I want to try everything. LOL!
