I had held high hopes for the Westend Pumphouse breakfast and ordered "Muesli with poached fruit and yoghurt" A simple and promising dish. I wondered what the fruit would be...pears maybe? a compote of some sort. In short. None paoched fruit at all. It was a bowl of largely rice puffs, some seeds and misc dried fruits. It was topped with fours slices of what resembled fetta cheese, but I was told it was a frozen yoghurt. (i can visualise the container at the supemarket) I asked for real yogurt and after a wait it came in a side bowl with an atttitude that I was a real problem. (So there was yoghurt in the kitchen...) I then asked for the poached fruit as promised on the menu. A long wait. Two piecse of poached pear came in a small bowl clearly from a dessert menu as some sort of sweet filling was still lingering on them. No apology. They must think they can serve anything and get away with it.Georgianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-74219606058281693782012-09-13T21:37:06.326+10:002012-09-13T21:37:06.326+10:00Hi Rita - good to see you back blogging again.

Here is their website, http://www.crystaljade.com.au/contact.shtml. <br />We must catch up again when you are next in Melbourne. Next time, we should go to either Richmond or Footscray for some really good authentic ethnic Chinese Vietnamese or Vietnamese food.<br /><br />Christina / Michelle - I am always happy to see anyone else from Hobart who are visiting Melbourne and like to catch up for a bit of a foodie scene. <br /><br />Btw, I am still very new in the food scene here. Still finding my way around tasting new things! Too many choices and too many places to visit. But, my pocket is not deep enough.

Please do go to St Kats and check it out. Bec says the Chinese we ate at with Victor and Steven was Jade something (maybe Palace?), and was diagonally opposite the 7/11 on corner of Little Bourke and Russell Streets. The boys are both well, and in fine form, and it was great to catch up over a leisurely meal. They're currently in Malaysia again.<br />Am happy for a catchup any time in the school hols. I'll call you, or you call me, or email. Love to Phil. xRitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721723151185687327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-43710267451778297142012-08-28T17:59:56.272+10:002012-08-28T17:59:56.272+10:00Welcome back my friend.

No one had ever been presented with scrambled egg in their roll unless they'd specifically requested it. The consensus was a fried egg, and that's what I had expected! I wasn't going to tell Mr Grumpy about it though! It was obviously my fault for not being so specific!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721723151185687327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089273951617856289.post-29366750928174600912012-08-23T19:04:08.628+10:002012-08-23T19:04:08.628+10:00Yaaay, welcome back Rita.
