Bò Né Flaming Beef
I had the BO NE flaming beef which was so nice, truly over my expectation. Also got extra butter mushroom it was worth to give a try, good combo with the baguette.
Ivy lee Hanoi Egg Coffee
The egg coffee was delicious however the absolute stand out was the scrambled egg with chilli crab.
Dan B Sea Salt Cream Coffee
I ordered the Sea Salt Cream Coffee. It’s a little pricey, but it was really delicious. I think they use Vietnamese coffee, which gives it a unique flavor.
Deasy Engelica Chilli Crab Scramble
One of my favourite cafes in southport, with south East Asian twists on an Australian brekkie, I had the best chili crab scramble here!

Unique sides, sweet plates, and specialty iced concoctions
Lotus Chips
The lotus root chips are extremely crispy and the texture is very similar to potato chips. They are lightly seasoned with salt, which makes the flavour just right.
Gu Strawberry Matcha
I also ordered the Strawberry Matcha—the layering was gorgeous, and the balance between earthy matcha and sweet fruity notes was spot on.
Elio Lee French Toast Forever
The other dish we got was French Toast Forever on a croissant which was also great and massive serving.
