ANZAC Day breakfast at The Daily Planet, Mt Lawley

'Twas the night before ANZAC Day, when all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse..

Then everything went NUTS!!

I had borrowed my sisters car to take to the house I was house sitting for the night.. (my car is now completely undrivable, but that's another blog post...) Went about my usual night routine and was in bed by about 10 pm.. (the house I was house sitting was about 40 minutes drive away from my sisters place)..

I awoke with a start at about 4:15am to THIRTEEN MISSED CALLS! My phone was on silent and I hadn't heard a thing. I called my sister straight away, her baby wasn't well and they had gotten a taxi (oh the guilt....) to emergency.. I zoomed straight in there on my borrowed wheels.

After what seemed a lifetime we were seen by the doctor in the emergency ward and Naz was given some medicine.. After that kicked in we all wearily walked out to the car and I dropped them at my sisters place in Mount Lawley so they could get some proper shut eye.

I went to get petrol and supplies for the sickies from the chemist and the supermarket. On my way back to the car I walked past Daily Planet, after such a long night the smell of good coffee enticed me in. Daily Planet is right next door to Planet Video and Planet Books and is filled to the brim with hipsters.




I was seated straight away, the staff didn't have a uniform and dressed however they liked. I usually find that a little unnerving as I'm never sure who to ask where my Eggs Benedict is.. But they pull it off well here and the staff are very atentative.

I ordered a double- shot latte as soon ask sat down. After such a long night I needed coffee. Plus "I'll have a double shot latte" is my new favorite thing to say... Makes me feel important.

Look at it... So pretty

 

I ordered the pikelets to eat. I forget the actual name on the menu and I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it.. But here it is..

 

Perfect fluffy pikelets with honey and powdered sugar and in that little glass is a berry compote. It was divine! And what a way to properly start the day..! The waitress informed me that there was "free wifi with no password" which is great and I don't understand why more cafes don't do this.

I devoured my delicious meal and went back to my duties looking after Simone and Naz.. An eventful Anzac day to say the least!

Lunch with Simone sans Baby Naz

After a massive morning spent organizing my sister Simone's kitchen we went to The Burger Bistro for lunch. A celebratory beer was in order and we knew the Burger Bistro does some of the best burgers in Perth.. Plus they're always adding new burgers to their menu so there is always something new to try.

 

We sat outside but moved undercover when it started to rain. Who else is loving the cooler weather in Perth? I'm looking forward to having an excuse to make soups and hot chocolates for the first time in ages! I don't feel like a 40° heat wave lends itself to making those kind hearty comforting things..

We told the waitress we would be sharing our burger, she thoughtfully bought us two plates and cut it in half

We also had a beer each. It was the perfect size for lunch, neither of us felt too full. Bring on the cooler months and all the have to offer.
