For some reason there's almost always something I am craving for at every moment - unless I just ate and am not hungry. Craving of the day - French Toast. (Bacon and maple syrup compulsory)
Brought Gwen (welcome to Melbourne, darling!) to Degraves Street for brunch, I told her to pick whichever cafe she wanted but I'm secretly happy we settled for this place (with french toast heheheh. I have no idea what I would've eaten if we ended up at some sort of sandwich/panini place)

| Thick Cut French Toast with Crispy Bacon, Maple Syrup and Caramelized Banana |
yum yum yum. Such a generous amount of bacon (my tastes buds are appreciative but my arteries are not) and the toast was nice and thick and soft, to soak up all that lovely maple syrup. Maple syrup + bacon may sound like an odd combination to some, but trust me, its level of compatibility is somewhere up there on the "Made for Each Other" scale alongside Apple and Cinnamon, or Carrot Cake and Cream Cheese.
Actually cream cheese goes with pretty much anything if you ask me.
And the banana's added a "healthy" touch and was a perfect "buffer" in between mouthfuls of oh-so-sinful crispy bacon. It probably would've been much too rich and oily otherwise.
I remember the first time I came here for brunch, we were in the middle of "banana drought" because of the flood, and I ordered this simply because it had banana's in it. Those were the days where choice of fruit (or rather, whether you are eating bananas or not) were some sort of a status symbol/display of wealth.
Thank God for cheap banana's again!

| Mini Passionfruit Cupcake |
I don't know when it started, but passionfruit is my current favourite flavour for everything.
Aside from looking absolutely gorgeous, her cupcakes are so fluffy and moist, these are now my second favourite cupcake place - second after Cupcake Central's Red Velvet.
In the meantime I've got to work on my own cupcake fluffifying skills.
Till next time! x
