Dempsey Hill
Undoubtedly, today was one of the best breakfast I had so far. The Jones English Breakfast was so good, it had sourdough bread (amazingly not sour, toasted nicely) with butter sauteed mushrooms, bacon, sausage, roasted tomatoes and 2 poached eggs with a pot of prince of wales (tastes like chinese tea) Mmm absolutely lovely, though I felt the sausage was tat bit tasteless. Had to use sea salt.

In case you are wondering, Jones the Grocer is at Dempsey hill, its an Aussie franchised store. SO the food really reminded me of breakfast at Victoria's market and Apollo Bay.
3/4 through breakfast a couple sat down next to us. Apparently it was their first time here, so they asked us if we had to get the attention of the waiters. Mind you, it was quite hard to get their attention. Found out later tt the husband's from US and wife's from South America. They were having a little lunch catch up with their Aussie fren.

They were speaking quite loudly and next to me so technically, I didn't eavesdrop. Seems like the Aussie bloke has been at Jones frequently. Breakfast menu was over, so there was no more banana pancakes left. However, the husband really wanted to have it. The Aussie apparently "convinced" the peeps there to prepare the pancake for them. I won't disclose how.
So breakfast carried on with the occasional vulgarities describing their food and experiences.

Breakfast ended of with me 50 bucks poorer. I didn't pick up the tab, my bro did. Apparently I went 'grocery' shopping. White choc, milk choc, rock candy and a cordial. Wanted the blue Hawaii tea, so fruity, but that meant being another 25 bucks poorer. Such a pity.

Walked to Ben & Jerry's next. had a merlionster. Super filling but satisfying. The girls there look pretty hehe. Back to the ice cream, phish food, strawberry cheesecake and some berry yogurt totally rocked.

On the way back, saw an accident scene. Seems like the motorcyclist (no longer at the scene) was in quite bad shape. The motor cycle was burnt and totally destroyed. The left side of the helmet was totally smashed. He/she must have suffered so much trauma. No blood so maybe internal hemorrhaging through shock forced trauma?
