Trio, Bondi Beach

It’s always nice to get in touch with a little bit of tourist. It reminds me that I live in such a beautiful city and that I’m blessed with such beautiful beaches. Not that I’m a beach-y kinda girl. But the occasional strolls and being in the space just gives me moments to embrace the beauty.

After an early morning stroll at Scupltures last October to avoid crowds, we found ourselves seated in Trio for our brunch.

Left: green smoothie $12.50
Right: Watermelon juice small $7.50 large $9.50

The warm day meant that we felt like juices, a cocktail would have been nice but you know it wasn’t quite noon yet. Refreshing and comforting, there is nothing better than a nicely chilled juice and smoothie under the warm sun.

Flat white $4

Mr KH needed a coffee after spending a morning with two girls and two dogs...

mediterranean breakfast $27

Mr KH ordered the Mediterranean breakfast; a plate full of char-grilled haloumi, crispy pancetta, sundried tomatoes, spinach, chorizio, poached eggs and olive sourdough. I believe this was thoroughly enjoyed as the plate was left clean.

Corn fritters $22

Miss CC opted for the corn fritters; with smokey tomato chutney, bacon, goats cheese and roquette – she enjoyed this but like me, she is also searching for corn fritters that are out of this world. Miss CC noted that she did find them a little dry and could do with some more chutney.

Trio breakfast burrito $21

I was not that hungry, but could not resist and ordered the trio breakfast burrito, curious as to what it was. It was nice, I loved the idea that it was a deconstructed burrito. The eggs were so addictive with the spicy kick from the chilli and pepper. The salsa had hints of chorizo, and I love chorizo – so it was a winner. And I could add however much I wanted into the tortilla bread. Winning.

Nutella french toast $20

After seeing the nutella French toast on the menu, there is no surpassing Miss CC and I. As you would know, we ordered a French toast at Ruby's Diner also. Nutella has seriously taken the market away with how it’s been introduced to so much in sweets in the past year or two. No one can decline it. The nutella was evident in this as it was found in all areas, a layer between the two soft brioche, with an adding touch of hazelnut crumble to boost that nutella flavour! Bam, our palatte was taken on a nutella ride! Bananas just helped counter balance the dish and make it seem like we were eating something healthy…

Bondi beach really is lovely, there is just something about it. But the sad thing is, when you do see the occasional empty stores and think how hard it is for a business to survive in Sydney. Not to mention how expensive parking is in the area…

Tell me, do you occasionally act as a tourist and admire how beautiful your city is or are you more appreciative and always know your city is beautiful?

Bonditony's Burger Joint, Bondi Beach

Days pass me in a blink of an eye, or I am just lacking time management skills as of late. Or rather, the entire year, this year just cannot end fast enough – can 2016 be here already?

During my uni break I wanted to catch up on backlogged posts but I have no idea where time went. So instead of doing that, I added more eats. This includes venturing to Bondi Beach for Bonditony’s Burger Joint on a sunny winter’s day with the lovely Miss Bianca from For Foods Sake.

Music pumping, burgers zooming past us, children’s colouring hanging from the walls, we were both seated on the bench watching the kitchen. All the more to make our bellies grumble and want everything on the menu, but we knew better….

The tripping zeahorse $13.90

The trippin zeahorse was packed with pretty much everything, so I guess I wasn’t wrong when I said we wanted everything, cause we got it in this burger for sure. The mustard was rather dominant throughout the burger, the cheese melted all over the patty just made my heart flutter, the burger was juicy and that golden bun soft, it was a pure mess to eat.

Humptydumptysmash $10.90 (+$4 patty)

We both eyed the humpty dumpty smash, completely curious to whether this was a burger or a bunless burger? But it’s only available on weekends, so we’re totally getting this. I admit, the hash brown was just screaming at me on the menu, telling me I had to order this. The waitress told us it was a burger and we could add a meat patty for $4, who were we to say no to that!? Hands down, a favourite between the two of us, it hit all the right spots with the crispy bacon, egg and don’t forget that hash brown. The little bits of potato subtly boosting flavour between this monster.

It could be a little loud with music for a real catch up, but perhaps sitting outside on a warm day would be much easier for that. But don’t worry about talking, you’re all too busy eating for that.
