I must admit, the first time I had the banana bread I had a similar experience (it was too soon after a terrible yoghurt-provoked food poisoning experience to be eating labna!) BUT I have had it a number of times since and really enjoyed it. Am also a big fan of the smoked salmon corn fritter and the veg big breakfast.<BR/><BR/>I'm sad to hear that they've sold it - hopefully they won't lose their signature dishes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-83464045042981445512009-03-03T09:46:00.000+11:002009-03-03T09:46:00.000+11:00Glad you liked it!

If you're in the area you should try their sister cafe Liar Liar in Glenferrie Rd Hawthorn, the menu is very very similar.clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271464994614942315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-63818175694600494512009-03-03T09:34:00.000+11:002009-03-03T09:34:00.000+11:00Hi Claire I did have brekky there though ended up ...Hi Claire I did have brekky there though ended up going for the ricotta hotcakes which were yum & HUGE, hubby had the big brekky which looked & smelt pretty good to me too.

Glad I'm not the only blogger occasionally made of fail! :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Ange. It was most uncharacteristic of me to have a sweet tooth that early in the morning - and I paid the price! If the opportunity comes up, I must go back and give APTE another chance.<BR/>Did you end up having breakfast there?clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271464994614942315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-86944765235286887212009-02-27T14:30:00.000+11:002009-02-27T14:30:00.000+11:00Thats funny I was planning on having breakfast the...Thats funny I was planning on having breakfast there tomorrow & plannnig on having the banana bread combo too. I probably still will as I have a huge sweet tooth & also because of said condition will not be hungover, hangovers def need a savoury fix for sure.Angehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11222036974725609403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-298296535690092472009-02-26T23:58:00.000+11:002009-02-26T23:58:00.000+11:00I have driven past this place six times in the las...I have driven past this place six times in the last two weeks and have been thinking that there is a reason why it has been surviving this whole time.<BR/><BR/>As for food blogger fail, I am right there with you. Although, corn fritters...I would have both ordered and been defeated by them. Sweets always have a one up on me.bunchesmcgintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400341178977948773noreply@blogger.com
