Chopsticks, Fork and Spoon

On a nice sunny Sunday, we decided to do lunch, the group being TT, Ling, Jono, Jing (who flew all the way from Singapore) and I, at none other than Cafe XXII in Pyrmont. This was the first time all of us have been here on a Sunday lunch and we all decided to be adventurous and order away from the usual suspects.

TT ordered the big breakfast. It came with an oddly shaped hashbrown, some sausages, bacon, grilled tomatos, two poached eggs on a slice of toast. It was a huge serving and pleased TT's big appetite.
Ling ordered the eggs Florentine which were the same as eggs benedict just with smoked salmon. She mentioned that the salmon was quite sweet, which was a bit peculiar as it was smoked salmon.
Jono had the eggs benedict. He was guilty of choosing one of the usual suspects that we order at this place. As usual, the eggs benedict never fails in its taste, still great.
Jing ordered the spanish eggs. It was scrambled eggs, with tomato, spanish onion, on a crispy bed of polenta and adorned with slices of chorizo. I had a taste of this and it tasted smashing. I will order this next time.
I ordered the sweet corn fritters. It was topped with slices of avocado, sour cream, crispy bacon and a grilled tomato, surrounded by sweet chilli sauce. I was quite skeptical ordering this as the last time I ordered it, the fritters were not tasty, the bacon was chewy, and the avocado wasn't ripe. Not this time! This was the winner of the day, the fritters were so crispy and fresh, bacon nice and crunchy, the avocado perfectly soft and sweet and the combination of all the ingredients made this dish worthwhile.

After our meal, we decided to head off our separate ways as Jing had about 1 hour sleep while the rest of us were about to watch Up! The movie was great, it was touching yet hilarious at the same time, and we felt we got our money's worth! All in all, a great day!
