Ming, yes. But the ownership changed possibly and we weren't that impressed with the service the last time we were there.

I love food pics, too, but my problem is when I see the food, I just want to get right into it.... I ALWAYS carry my camera everywhere now, but...

That looks heavenly - I love seeing photos of food in different countries so more food photos please!

Oh, the sacrifices we make, eh!

He he. I think I've gained a few pounds, too, doing "research" for CDP! :)

OMG...all this food would fill me up for the entire day. However, it does look delicious! How kind of you to sacrifice yourself for a photo! :-)

Yes, please, the pannetone-like brioche, please! And with those I won't feel too guilty baking them.

Our maple syrup is imported from Canada, I think - at least we only buy the Canadian stuff. And ditto about liking that - my mother always liked it, but boy, it's screams out "Weekend" to me... maple syrup, banana, and bacon....

Thank goodness I had already my slice of whole spelt bread with butter and cherry jam, otherwise I would have had to eat your photo! :-)
I have a brioche recipe that's quite simple. Texture similar to Panettone, I wouldn't say so, but if you want to give it a try, I can give you the recipe. Here in Vienna, it is eaten in place of toast, maybe that's the reason why they enjoy the more airy version. Incidentally, I photographed brioche loaves at Demel's yesterday, I'll show them soon.
Do you have domestic maple sirup in NZ, or is it imported, like here? I got addicted to it on the East Coast, with little sausages and French toast, which I wouldn't have touched with a stick, before moving to the USA. ;-)

Oh, that's right, Ben. It does have texture like ...

Oh, that's right, Ben. It does have texture like Pannetone. That's right! I think our brioche was sweeter; the second time I reduced the sugar, which is something you're not supposed to do with baking, but it was a little better???

OK, people, weekends are great for unhealthy breakfasts, because theoretically you have the rest of the day to wear it off rushing from one pic spot to another, right? It was just lovely!

This looks like a breakfast fit for a king. It made me hungry for some french toast, so I am going to make some.

2007-06-11T01:53:00.000+12:00

This reminds me of the breakfast we had at Nina's in Whitianga. Not sure how the exchange rate has changed since we were there in 2001 [six years -- sometimes it feels yesterday] but the prices look very reasonable. It was the syrup pancakes with bacon &c that stands out.

Looks almost as unhealthy as an English cooked breakfast! Breakfasts here in Poland are usually far healthier! Greetings from a fellow Kiwi!

Your commentary illustrates the Daily Blogger philosophy--try and try again! Since I just got up, I think I, too, will mosey over to the local cafe while DH sleeps and dreams away!!

This is a very nice photograph and makes the food look great.

Surprise, surprise, surprise. It's me!

I just came from Rcon's Moroccan blog and there was food; come to Nelson and there it is again; I’m getting hungry, so see you after lunch...
Anyhow, the place looks great!

2007-06-10T20:45:00.000+12:00

I don't really know what proper brioche's texture like. One the SaltWater serves is nice but more like Panetone (the Italian one) in its texture but much sweater and rich.

It sounds and looks wonderful. And what a sacrifice you made, forcing yourselves to go back again.

I wish we had a really good plae for breakfast around here. Sorry Nelson is just too far to go for brioche.
