soft and stiff peaks: The Pig and Pastry, Petersham

sweet corn fritters with poached egg, crispy bacon and avocado salsa

Long weekends means that there are already only two more days till the weekends! YAY! And to add to that, I had an absolutely fun, crazy and unforgettable weekend, thanks guys!

So I've been wanting to go to The Pig and Pastry in Petersham for a long time but every time I leave the house it's either a few minutes from midday or past midday - and unfortunately their breakfast menu only goes up to noon. So finally on the Sunday I surprisingly made it in time for their breakfast menu! Located just a few steps from Parramatta Road, it isn't hard to find it with plenty of street parking.

When we got there it was pretty filled and we had to wait a few minutes. Even after the wait the only free table was up on the counter by the window so we made our way there, hoping to move to a table once one was available. Unfortunately it was pretty hard to talk to each other on the counter but even after we ordered there wasn't any tables so we just decided to stay there.

green tea

We had a large coffee, iced chocolate and a green tea - and the highlight was the iced chocolate! With lots of chocolate and topped off with some meringue, it sure was one "helluva iced chocolate" like how the waiter called it!

We had the eggs benedict with leg ham on toasted brioche (15) which was really nice for a change instead of it being on sourdough. The brioche was soft and fluffy and went well with the eggs benny!

We also had some scrambled eggs with smoked streaky bacon, roast tomato and field mushroom on sourdough (17) and the sweet corn fritters with poached egg, crispy bacon and avocado salsa (17). Unfortunately I'm still a no go with avocado so I didn't try the salsa but the corn fritters were good!

I really like their vintage plates and tea cups and even their chairs and tables and pretty much everything else! And will have to go back for their wagon wheel which I missed out on!
