Little Loco

I went with my pseudo girlfriend N., to Little Loco after we finished our night shifts together. We spent part of the night checking out restaurants and her eyes lit up when she saw the behemoth of a milkshake that they serve here! She demanded that we go here, so here we are!

Mr H., was supposed to come here with us but he got super tired walking to his car and just went home. He had just started at our workplace so none of us had his number, and so he didn't call us. We just thought he died or something and were talking shit about him for the entire meal.

Here is a menu from Zomato.

N., got the salted caramel milkshake of course, she believes the only way you should eat popcorn is if its sweet. She's a petite, dainty little thing with eyes bigger than her stomach, so I really had my doubts when she decided to get both this and a meal for breakfast. We both didn't really like this milkshake despite its beautiful appearance. The milkshake was made with three scoops of vanilla ice cream and tasted like straight up ice cream, which sounds great but really wasn't, The salted caramel sauce was had an oddly sour tang to it and we got annoyed that there were drips of salted caramel everywhere cause we wanted to eat that. The doughnut on top was gluten free, enough kind of said right?


Beautiful though!
Great minds think alike so N., decided to get the breakfast burger that I wanted, like me, she dislikes sweets for breakfast. This breakfast burger had streaky bacon, egg, avocado, spinach, mature cheddar, tomato relish and a polenta brioche burger bun. I had a nibble of this burger and I was actually quite happy that I had to get the choice that I did. There just wasn't enough bacon! Other than that, the other components were solid. The polenta brioche is an interesting experience, its quite buttery/sweet bun which is odd considering its supposed to be a healthy place.


More, more bacon!
You know what is always a rock solid combination? Haloumi and mushroom, no regrets ever. This was the mushroom and haloumi burger with onion jam, rocket, tomato, jalapeno mayonnaise and polenta brioche burger bun! It was amazing, I swear this is one of my versions of a safe bet.


Definitely recommend!
Little Loco
Atmosphere: 5, nothing fancy.
Service: 5, waiters and waitresses seem friendlier to regulars.
Food: 5, not bad, the place isn't my cup of tea with their focus on healthy stuff. If you were into that sort of thing, give the place a crack.

Fundies Wholefood Cafe

VGirl and I went to Fundies Wholefoods on Mothers Day, before you go thinking why we didn't take Mama Pham with us, she was working that day and had already received her Mother's Day present. We had originally planned to go to Kettle and Tin but the line was out the door, so to Fundies, land of the veggo brekkies!

Fundies is half organic wholefoods cafe and half organic/wholefoods/supplements shop. We had a bit of a look around but sat down for lunch pretty quickly since we were so hungry.


Nice pictures!
This is the front counter. There is a glass drinks cabinet on the size and also a hot pie oven.





VGirl was intrigued
Here is a link to their menu! Below is a copy of the specials for the time that we went.





VGirl got this Phoenix Lemon, Lime and Bitters drink, its lightly carbonated as in tastes like slightly flat soft drink. She said she liked it like that.


Hmmm
I got a soy flat white and I thought it was pretty good! The coffee roasters here is an organic roaster from Byron Bay called Zentveld's.


F is for Fundies!
We got given our cutlery in a jar, I don't why but I was tickled pink by this at the time.


Interesting
I got the smoked salmon supreme, organic New Zealand smoked salmon with capers, lemon, spinach, organic poached eggs, purple onion, dill aioli and toasted Turkish bread soldiers. I thought it was a pretty decent breakfast, I have no complaints about any of the ingredients or the choice of them either. This was a tried and true classic combination of flavours and if you love your organic food I'd say this is the place for you!


Solid
VGirl had a really hard time picking what she wanted to eat since for once she had a billion choices. She got the vegan sausage, organic shallot and potato rosti, poached eggs, wilted spinach, lemon and salsa, capsicum jam and chipotle mayonnaise. The vegan sausage tasted like stuffing. She said that she would bring our vegetarian friend Mandy here one day since there was so much choice for the two of them.



Fundies Wholefood Cafe
Atmosphere: 7. your local cafe!
Service: 5, solid, I have no complaints.
Food: 8, good organic food. A great place to go if you want more than your standard vegetarian options.
