Alexandria
La Cachette
This
morning, day two of my short break between contracts was a little
more relaxed. A little. I still didn’t get to sleep in, I had to
head into an interview with my new employer at 9am (went well) and
the rest of the day was dedicated to preparing everything for my
housewarming this weekend.
After I got back from the meeting I headed off to the Victoria’s Basement outlet in Alexandria with a pit-stop at a little café I’d spotted once before that seemed a little odd out on it’s own on an otherwise desolate strip of Mitchell Road.
I took a gamble and went for the salmon egg benedict roll, an unusual presentation in itself but buoyed by the fact that it looked delicious. Tasted good too! The only thing I was annoyed with was the poached egg was hard, not runny at all - but then, given that it was obviously meant to be eaten by people with a well defined palate with out any time it made sense. I won’t mind stopping in again one weekend and picking up a quiche or something else to see how that goes. Stay tuned.

Salmon Egg Benedict Roll @ La Cachette Alexandria
With the exception of the coffee (burnt and bitter, what a surprise
there), I was pleasantly surprised. Stop by if you’re going past
the area and peckish.
Food, 7/10 - Better than you’d expect
for what looks like a workman’s lunch-bar
Service, 4/10 - The girl was training and seemed
lost
Coffee, 0/10 - It was undrinkable
Value, 6.5/10 - $10.50 for a brea-roll and a
coffee, but what a bread-roll
Location, 4/10 - In the middle of
nowhere
