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.






Un café au lait...
The classic short-stack (the pancake not the band)
Mexican Chicken Crêpes
Spinach and feta crêpe
Potato Fritter with salad.
A "Lovely" serviette 
Tuna Salad 
They now have new decor at the Doncaster Pancake Parlour 

An Ericsson Telephone
Got 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: Cuckoo Restaurant - Photo Blog

On, Sunday I went to the Cuckoo for Christmas in July (sadly for us antipodeans we don't get a white Christmas). The Cuckoo is a smorgasbord buffet restaurant in Mt Dandedong which can become cold and it has snowed there in the past. It gives the impression that you are in a mountain forest in Germany.





































What to chose, what to chose?


Serving 1

Serving 2


Serving 3

Serving 4 (starting to feel like
 'the very hungry caterpillar')

Liam, the Pancake maker



Impressive...

Sarah, who sang some songs from
'the sound of music', Christmas carols
and played the cow bells.



This is the world's biggest Cuckoo
clock (that works)



The building is a lot higher from the ground than
the photo makes it look.



The Cuckoo also has flags from around the world to welcome international guests.


Australia!

France

UK




































Denmark and Poland

USA

Greece, India, Japan, Croatia and USA (again)

Vietnam, Hong Kong, Finland and Malaysia

Ireland, China, Estonia, Mauritius and Indonesia

Chile, China (again) and South Korea


























































































































































































































































































Overall, I recommend going to the Cuckoo (on an empty stomach and feeling a bit cuckoo). :)
