Infuse your breakfast routine with a touch of multiculturalism
While many a bagel and maple-syrup slathered serving of French toast may have infiltrated our usual Australian breakfast of sugary cereals and vegemite on toast, we’ve been craving breakfast varietals of a more varied kind lately. So we went scavenging for local breakfast offerings that are out of the eggs-on-toast norm.
The Asian breakfast station is a permanent fixture at the Bazaar marketplace at QT on the Gold Coast. Japanese breakfasts run from 6:30–10:30 am, with the entire marketplace seeing many ‘street stalls’ of gourmet fare mingling under the one roof. Bazaar’s dining concept is a modern take on the buffet, with the quirky drink station worth stopping by too.
Yeshi Buna Ethio African Cafe & Restaurant in Moorooka serves up an Ethiopian breakfast complete with crepe-like injera-wrapped foodstuffs and traditional coffee. Tuck into meaty and vegetarian dishes hands first, with Yeshi Buna happy cater to vegan palates as well.
On the European leg of your cultural breakfast whirlwind, stop by Stockholm Syndrome in Albion for the Breakfast Platter. Pairing rye bread with cheese slices, ham, cream cheese, pickled herring, capsicum and a hard-boiled egg, the Breakfast Platter branches out of our usual French-Euro mindset and into the traditional savoury offerings of Sweden.
If Vietnamese is on your mind, drive out to Inala where a gamut of eateries serves noodle soups and Vietnamese coffee before lunch. Stop by Minh Tan Bakery or Bill’s Takeaway for a morning serving of Banh Mi for minimal pennies.
