I haven't quite gotten used to the cafe culture in Canberra yet. It's quite well known that they lag behind Melbourne (and probably most cuisines). I'm almost afraid to order soy chai lattes for the fear of getting an over-syrupped and cinnamon concoction.
- Chahan (vego wrap, crisp sushi rice cake, avocado, beetroot, spanish onion, sesame dressing, mixed leaves, nori dusties) - essentially a large sushi wrap with some flavoursome sushi rice that had a crunchy crispy edge to it (oven or grill maybe?). Surprisingly plain and good;
- Foghorn Leghorn (free-range half Moroccan barbecue chicken, de-boned with seasoned wedges, herbed sour cream) - deep flavoured chicken with Middle-Eastern flair and decent juicy meat with some excellent spiced wedges although I wasn't a fan of the dill sour cream.
These were washed down with some typical freshly squeezed OJ and a banana brekkie smoothie, which tasty pretty heavy on vanilla ice-cream. The iced cafe that other people ordered looked delectable served in a large beer mug.
There's a lot of good looking food options here. Maybe I'll even try the chai latte next time. It's overall a bit expensive, but that's my welcome to Canberra.
Next time I would order the iced mocha or chai latte and try the Mekong burger or Nipper (fish & chips).
