Jak+Hill | 40 Astor Terrace, SPRING HILL QLD 4000
Going
out for a scrumptious breakfast every weekend is a must for the other
travel bunnie and I. I'd like to think of it as perhaps the most
leisurely and relaxing time of the week, and a delicious breakfast on
a Saturday morning always makes for a joyful start to the weekend.
Given
the fact that we almost always eat out for breakfast, our weekend
lunches tend to be less exciting. It is usually a light and causal
affair somewhere in the city. So this past weekend, we decided to
have a decent Saturday lunch instead.
Feeling
rather adventurous, we opted for somewhere that we had never been
before, Jak+Hill in Spring Hill.
The
funky cafe was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday with only three open
tables. We had a quick look at the menu and decided to have twice
cooked lamb w' cous cous, roasted vegetable salad and yoghurt
($26) and Atlantic salmon fillet w' charred corn salsa,
lime mayo and rocket salad ($27).
The food didn't take long to come out at all. The twice cooked lamb
was slightly disappointing. I expected tender, juicy and flavoursome
lamb but instead it was quite chewy and rather bland. Having said
that, the cous cous was cooked with a mixture of pistachio and almond
flakes, and I really liked the texture. The salmon, my favourite
fish, was undercooked in the middle so I had to switch the plate with
the other travel bunnie halfway through the meal. On a positive, the
charred corn salsa was really tasty and complimented the flavour of
the fish well.
Although
it wasn't exactly what I would call a fantastic lunch, it was
something different and not to mention that the strawberry milkshake
($6) was perfectly frothy and yummy.
