last weekend was our aniversary so we have decided to rent a car and go off somewhere nice and quiet.
and those who know me well breakfast is my favourite meal.
so i had to find somewhere nice and new to try
went online and found great reviews about MART 130
which the name came from 'tram' reading backwards and '130' is the tram stop
most reviews rave on about the corn fritters and the poached eggs.
so yes off we went to look for it.
little did we know that the cafe is actually literally right in front of the tram stop
it is a old station master's building- thus having that old classy feel to it.
and in the reviews also mentioned sitting outside for the beautiful view of Albert park
sure enough on a really windy day the place was jam pack with people both inside and outside
and we managed to grab a sit on the bench
i ordered the corn fritters bacon stack
xiu ordered poached eggs with smoked salmon
5 minutes later i got my latte and xiu got his tea in this beautiful vintage tea pot
looking around each and every table would have a beautiful corm fritters stack and im starving
we waited for half an hour for our breakie to arrive- a little too long. the lady beside us had her fritters when we paid and left!
but the fritters is worth the wait
I never did like corn fritters- they are always chalky and by the time you finish one fritters, the next is always swallowed down by my latte
however with this one, you can taste each and every sweet corn and with the crunchy slighty burnt bacon is fantastic.
Xiu's poached salmon was jus as good.
avocado spread with tangy salsa on the top to balance the smoky salmon
I would give a 8/10 for breakie
my latte was a-ok. i like mine a little bitter and thicker- 7/10
wait i think was a little long. perhaps with the crowd however i have been to places with a jam pack place and fast service with great food.
would i go again- yes when i crave for corn fritters.
price? both was 16.50 each- which was really expensive
all in, corn fritters stack, smoked salmon with poached eggs, eng breakfast tea and a latte: 40.30
