On Saturday I met the lovely Lee Tran Lam for breakfast at Baffi & Mo on Redfern St. Lee Tran had recommended it some time ago (for those who don’t know, Lee Tran writes a fabulous food blog called the unbearable lightness of being hungry) and she knew from my blog that I love a decent breakfast and a good, real chai so she was eager for me to try this place out once back in Sydney.
I chose the ricotta hotcakes with fresh figs and honey. It was superb, and as for the chai? It was perfect.
Thank you Lee Tran! It was wonderful finally meeting you, I hope we get to do this again sometime.

Ah, you’re back in beautiful Australia! What a lovely spot for a breakfast of (nectar of the gods, I’m convinced!) figs and honey!

If you’re a chai lover you should check out Cinque on King St in Newtown. It is delish!

Hi Pia,
It was indeed ultra-lovely to have met up for breakfast and to hear all your great stories & to be in such excellent company! And I’m so glad the chai passed the test, as I know are so chai-savvy and a pot has to be quality to make your morning.
Thank you for this lovely post, it was super-kind of you to think me post-worthy. I wrote up a mention, too, here!
