One busy Saturday back in Sydney Part I

(Exactly) 5 days after I have made my brave move up north to Coffs Harbour, I got myself a 3 day weekend. As soon as I knew that I told my friends that I am back to Sydney for a visit:-

Friend #1: "What? And how long have you been up there?"
Me: "...."

Friend #2: "Huh? its only been 5 days"
Me: "...."

Friend #3: "Gee that was quick"
Me: "..."

With my friends missing me HEAPS, I just HAD to go back....

The Saturday started with breakfast at Newtown's Badde Manors.


I was starving by 7:30am and quickly ordered the biggest breakfast - the Badde Manor Big Breakfast from their extensive menu. Badde Manors specialises in vegetarian and vegan choices - not that we realised when we went in, I was just hungry...

The vegetarian/vegan menu, no trace of meat to be seen!

I had a big day ahead of me, breakfast and a big day of shopping in the city, as I will no be able to go on random shopping sprees in Coffs Harbour! Having breakfast outside is also a luxury for me, I often go out for lunch or dinner but I can count with my both hands the number of times I have been out for breakfast - mostly because I'm just too much of a sleepy head to get up just to have breakfast.

My big breakfast arrive with scrambled eggs, and gee did it look healthy!


Badde Manor Big Breakfast - (scrambled) eggs, with spinach, mushrooms, baked beans, seasoned chat potatoes and grilled tomato served on rye bread $13.50.

The mushrooms were excellent cant have better mushrooms than these for brekkie! And of course a traditional pancake won't go amiss!

Homemade pancakes - served with maple syrup and topped with fresh ricotta and blueberries $10.50.

The pancake was light and fluffy, I just wished that the bottom 2 pancakes weren't so thoroughly soaked in the syrup!

We left the cafe with our stomachs protruding (how embarrassing) and slowly made our way to Broadway where I started my shopping. By the time we got to Paramatta 2 hours later we were craving something, something that we haven't yet had in that day......MEAT!

That just shows how important a breakfast rich in protein is. (*ahem* even though there were eggs, baked beans +/- bread and potatoes, we did share this between 2 peeps so there is NO way that's enough protein!). So we trekked to the food court to get us some KFC which we devoured in a matter of minutes! Disgusting - I know - but Oh so satisfying!!
