Brekkie in Melbourne 墨爾本的早餐

My daughter @snooway, who came back last Saturday from Canberra for the weekend, took my wife and me to dine at a neighborhood cafe this morning. This cosy, small cafe on Canterbury Road, Blackburn, serves very decent coffee and typically Australian style breakfast.

We ordered three different dishes. My wife ordered Veggie Breakfast--scrambled eggs, with button mushrooms, roasted tomato, hash brown, house-baked beans and baby spinach.

Whereas my daughter chose "Three Amigos"--smashed avocado on toasted sourdough with poached eggs, haloumi, sweet corn salsa and chipotle dressing.

I selected the shop's signature dish: Charlotte's brekkie--bacon, scrambled eggs, avocado, topped with corn salsa and hollandaise on thick rye bread.

This brunch is certainly a treat to me. Tasty as it is, I as a sojourner in a foreign place start to miss what I normally have for my breakfast in rural Taiwan, such as mantou (steamed bun), baozi (stuffed steam bun), scallion crepe, pan-fried buns, congee (rice porridge), Taiwanese style noodle soup, lurou fan (rice with braised minced pork or soy-stewed ground pork with rice), shaobing (baked flatbread), youtiao (deep-fried dough stick).

今天上午,從坎培拉回來渡週末假期的小女@snooway 請兩老到附近的咖啡小館吃早餐。

我們仨各自挑選想吃的餐點。內人選了蔬果早餐,我點了店𥚃的招牌早餐,女兒則挑了名為「三好友」早餐。我們也各點一杯拿鉄咖啡。

這家館子空間不大,卻很溫馨,生意不錯。老闆是亞裔澳人,不諳華語,待客非常親切。

如此豪美的早餐與我和老伴平常在家手作的早餐差別很大。在館子𥚃吃著吃著,客居異郷的我不禁懷念在南投小鎮常吃的樸素、多樣、可口的早點:饅頭、包子、蔥油餅、水煎包、意麵、稀飯、滷肉飯、燒餅、油條等。

蔬果早餐看起來超讚的!

謝謝,很健康。Good choice for her!

Baby spinach, good for starting a fresh day.

Indeed. I regretted I did not order that.

哇!那個Three Amigos 的料看起來完全沒有在客氣的,好想吃喔

謝謝。@snooway超會點的。她有分一點譲我嚐一下。

好豐盛啊!!

女兒買單,所以放心點了。

我們現在也都是請父母放心的點,不過做父母的總擔心我們負擔大。

說的也是。有時候,她請客,我們付帳。

哈哈!這就是父母的捨不得啊~ :)

Today's Taiwan news: NCTU student cafeteria translates "控肉飯" into "Control Meat Rice". LOL.

Learn a new vocabulary today: brekkie. :)

Is the rice for students who are on a diet? LOL. 如何適切英譯中式料理名稱的確是門學問。
澳式英文有其特色。I appreciate your feedback.

Hahaha! 這個太好笑了
