Thus, we chose a 'restaurant' which accepts only a limited number of reservations - ie. Pancakes on the Rocks @ Northmead.
I guess the only difference between the one at Northmead and the one at the Rocks is the vicinity (closer to home) and the fact that it's not 24 hours. The quality of the food? the same - but, what can we expect?
On this particular night, everyone was starving, so I was unfortunately unable to take photos of what everyone ordered. I only managed my own dish, and those lovely people who were siting next to and in front of me.
So, first up, we have a crisp looking Chicken and Bacon Pizza ($17.95). Comprised of chicken and bacon pieces with tomatoes (both fresh and sundried), mushrooms, tomato salsa, cheese, and sour cream and guacamole were plonked on. As my friend often managed to eat the topping without the accompanying base, my guess is that middle tomato/guacamole sauce base didn't do a very good job and sticking them together. Nonetheless, my friend seemed to enjoy the feed.
Then there was the tandoori chicken pizza ($17.95) which my friend (who LOVES Indian food) very much appreciated. It has marinated chicken bits, with spanish onions, cashew nuts, mozzarella cheese, and topped off with mango chutney, minted yoghurt, and more more (slightly invisible) cashew nuts!
Then my dish - chicken and mushroom crepe ($15.95). That funny golden part is crusted parmesan cheese, very very concentrated parmesan... which makes it slightly too flavoursome to eat alone (despite being a cheese lover), but complements the slightly tasteless creamy chicken and mushroom crepe quite adequately.
The Monte Cristo crepe ($14.95). Inside is chicken and smoked ham and cheese. No comments were made about this dish. So... let's just go by the look. Average again.
Devils Delight - $13.95
Caesar Salad - $12.55
In all, pancakes (and the other foods they serve here) definitely taste better when your super hungry at some late hour of the night. But for dinner, it's a good last resort.
