Travel Review: Degani Bakery Café - Photo Blog

Last Friday night, I ate at Degani Bakery Café at Plenty Valley. I visited there to taste for myself the mix grill that many have bragged about.





A normal plate, a normal fork, a steak knife




Chicken, two types of steak and salad
Calamari, prawns, salad and potato




My Degani Bakery Café experience was excellent but other reviews won't agree, I guess I struck a good night out.

Pancake Parlour - Photo Blog

The Pancake Parlour is an Alice-In-Wonderland inspired, late 1800s stylised, chain restaurant which mainly serves pancakes, hence the name.  Unlike other chain retaurants, the Pancake Parlour is more classy and has an interesting je ne sais quoi about it.

"Lovely" photo, isn't it?



The Pancake Parlour is a great restaurant if want to go somewhere different and special. It is open 24 hours a day, so you can have a pancake at 3am :).

Travel Review: IKEA Richmond

IKEA is one of the most famous furniture and home ware stores and it has also made it’s founder Ingvar Kampred one of the richest people in the world. Besides being an excellent store, IKEA also has a restaurant.
The restaurant is a modern, Swedish restaurant where you just want to eat and eat. The food there is very flavourful. Ordering your food is canteen-like where you take a tray and choose what you want to eat. And I did just that.

The Swedish and Australian flag
side by side.

Just having a 'light' meal.
*not a very nice thing
to say to your costumers. :)





















When I ate the chocolate mousse I used George’s trick of adding salt to it and it actually tasted better. 





































Interesting fact: Like the name ABBA, IKEA is also an abbreviation. Ingvar Kampred founded it, he was born at Elmtaryd a family farm which was near Agunnaryd.
