Brekkie @ Little Oink

If you're a vegetarian (or have religious objections to eating pork) please avert your eyes now. This cafe is not for you. The name might be a bit of a clue ...

Little Oink is in the shopping centre at Cook, in Belconnen, Canberra. Somebody recommended it recently on the Canberra blog The RiotACT so we decided to give it a go! Someone there has a sense of humour – and a taste for word play – as there are some great dish names on the menu, for example 'Don't go bacon my heart', 'Chorizo your own adventure', and 'Salmon to watch over me'. Cute.

He had:

'Parlez-vous francais ... toast': brioche French toast

with bacon and maple syrup, plus a long black

while she had:

'Get in my pork belly': sticky pork belly, poached

eggs and potato rosti, plus a flat white

We enjoyed our meals and will have to go back again as there were a bunch of other things that sounded good too. The shop was delightfully rustic, with giant murals and décor that might have escaped from a different decade. Nice ...
