My Mistress | 515 Sandgate Road, CLAYFIELD QLD 4011
“Wanna go to My Mistress?” the other travel bunnie said to me with a
cheeky grin while we were still in bed last Sunday. I looked at him
and nodded with excitement. No, I’m not crazy. If anything, it’d be crazy for
me to say no to the proposal. The thing that you need to know is, My Mistress
is a café. Set in a house with rustic décor in the suburb of Clayfield, the
café provides a nice range of breakfast and lunch options with names that would
be sure to make you blush.
We ordered a chai latte ($4) and a peppermint
tea ($4) to warm up our tummies while trying to decide on the
food. Let’s see, there’s the Rendezvous with smashed avocado on
sourdough toast with feta, olive oil, fresh basil and lemon; then comes
the Morning Glory with Smoked bacon, free range egg, rocket, Swiss
cheese, tomato relish, aioli on a toasted bagel… or if you prefer to
have The Hook Up which comes with smoked salmon, cream cheese, red
onion and dill on a toasted bagel. The other travel bunnie and I drooled at
each other as we were spoiled for choices and hence struggled to decide
on our dishes. In the end, we decided to share the Eggs Monica
which comes with corn, zucchini and haloumi fritters with blistered cherry
tomatoes, a haloumi slab, seasoned avocado smash and a free range fried egg ($17)
and the Sweet Thang: French toast with smoked bacon, maple syrup and
seasonal market fruit ($14). We sat in our seats with our backs
bathed in the sun, eagerly waited, watched the smoke rising out of the
semi-open kitchen behind a wall of wooden slats and wondered what was to come. The food
arrived reasonably quickly given how popular My Mistress was on the day.
As soon as I saw the dishes, my mouth started watering. Both dishes
tasted fantastic. I loved the fact that once cut open, golden egg yolk covered
the crispy fritters that were overloaded with sweetness from the corn and
slight saltiness of the haloumi. I loved the sensation of the
sweet juice from those bright red blistered cherry tomatoes bursting in my
mouth. And as for the French toast, I couldn’t get enough of it,
albeit the portion was extremely generous. The dish was done the proper,
traditional way with thickly sliced bread soaked in egg batter,
fried then drenched with sweet, sweet, maple syrup; not to mention that the
smoked bacon created a great contrast.
Yes, by the end of the meal I completely fell head over heels for
My Mistress.
The service was upbeat and very friendly. Even Minibun George enjoyed
his time there as he gulped a frothy babycino on the house.
Let My Mistress’ good cooking seduce you. You know you want to.
Total Bunnie Dollars Spent: $39.
