On my last day of vacation before going back to work I took my friend for a drive to the beach near Sandringham, Melbourne. We walked for about 2 hours along the ocean, enjoying the beautiful colors of the water and sky. For lunch I introduced my friend to a nice cafe I had discovered last year called The Colonel's Son which is in Black Rock. The second floor tables have a wonderful view of the sea.
My brunch
I ordered this special which was a sweet potato parmesan waffle with chipotle pulled pork, poached egg, hollandaise sauce, avocado mousse, tomato, pressed apple and some radish slices. It was a creative dish with many of my favorite flavors and textures such as the creamy smoothness of the avocado, the natural sweetness of the crunchy apple and the rich gooey egg yolk running out of the poached egg. A very satisfying dish that exceeded expectations!
My friend's dish was a bit heavier because in addition to poached eggs, it had chorizo, polenta, and black beans. My friend really enjoyed her meal so we left the cafe very happy and full!
