Brekkie Paradise Fitzroy

I just added Nuffnang Australia and made my stat counter visible. I have always wanted to join Nuffnang since they have cool logo and poll layout. I tried to change my counter to the one Linda using but somehow ‘since date’ from that counter is not working in here so I took it out and replace back with my old one, doesn’t look that bad though. Anyway, I still want to alter this site when I have free time…

From my previous post, I mentioned that Fitzroy is the paradise of breakfast and indeed, they serve wonderful brekkies…

Mario’s

Marios is good with eggs! Nah, I don’t mean the game Super Mario Bros, I'm talking about the restaurant in Fitzroy call Marios. Tiff and Min were humming the song of Super Mario when they heard the name, I thought they were familiar with that place since I've never been there as well but it turn out that they have no idea at all.

Marios is a cosy place, it’s located at the heart of Fitzroy and it’s crowded during weekend. We sat outdoor at a cosy table, very much like a city type of ambiance where busy people keep walking pass our table along the street. Tiff and Min wasn’t too satisfied with sitting outdoor since it was quite warm that afternoon, but it’s all good after Tiff had her Ice Chocolate - “Whoa! Their Ice Chocolate is soO nice!! Really!!! You try?!?!” Quote Tiffany… We all thought it must be the weather effect~

Then, because of the warm weather effect again, we made suave decisions and ordered similar brekkies. Four of us had Egg with hollandaise sauce after I told them that they serve nice Egg Benedict and Florentine as well as Scramb… We can't be bothered to decide more than that~

So we all end up with Poach Eggs with Hollandaise Sauce... difference between Egg Benedict [Bottom] and Egg Florentine [Top] is the Vege and Ham in between the Muffin and Poach Eggs…

It was the first time I had Egg Benedict and it’s really delicious, the hollandaise sauce was perfectly made and so were the poach eggs. Some disappointing facts are, the portion is too small for me and the price is not that cheap.

Should have told them that Mario’s Mushroom is good for growing bigger, just like Mario!~

Filter

Just a few shops next to Marios is Filter. They have totally different environment – spacious, calm vibes with relaxing songs and modern setup with lots of paintings within the shop.

Spacious Ambiance

One of those paintings that hung next to me actually costs a thousand Aussie dollars… Chi Sin!

We had coffee but it didn’t taste as good, although they have strong coffee taste but the smell of the coffee definitely isn’t comparable against Fandango’s Supreme - Clement love Fandango’s but I prefer Ici’s.

Min Min Egg Benedict again~ from the look of it, Marios is so much better!

We have one chief recommend – the Scramble Eggs with Pesto? Not too sure but it doesn’t taste bad at all. The eggs were well scrambled with some ingredients~

Tiff and I had the signature dish of Filter and they actually sign Filter with dark soy sauce, very special and unique. Then the menu description for Filter eggs writes ‘fried eggs in bread’ – how?

We were curious and this is what happened. They sliced out 2 portions of the bread in circle shape, then replace the empty space with eggs and fry the bread along with the eggs, then toast the sliced portions and place them as decorations for that dish! Creative and very nice as well!!

Filter is a Good place to hang out and we are totally satisfied with what we ordered!
