Sixteen Ounces

Sixteen Ounces is my newly-discovered brunch spot at Victoria Park. Being a foodie, and having friends who loves food just as much as I do, is a big plus as we are always keen to try out new places.

This quaint little cafe just on Albany Highway gives a very welcoming vibe. With the quirky decos and (very) friendly staffs, no wonder sixteen ounces has quickly become a new favourite coffee spot in the area.

The place is quite tiny as you can see, but it is perfectly cosy for a catchup with friends or a quick coffee.

 

The menu.

The menu was fairly small, but as we got there a bit before 11.30am, the lady said we could order everything from the breakfast & lunch menu. Echo was delighted as she has been eyeing for the French Toast, which on the menu says it is only available till 11.30am!

We ordered three dishes to share among ourselves;

Baked Chorizo Hash - spicy chorizos with baked potatoes and tomatoes, topped with a sunny side up & served with toasts on the side. I am not a big fan of chorizos but my friends absolutely loved the dish! The dish was a bit under seasoned for me (it needs that extra little bit of punch!) but everything worked well together.

Baked Chorizo Hash ($16.50)

Sweet and Salty - brioche french toasts served with bacons and bananas (there are sandwiched in the middle of the toasts, if you are looking for them) topped with salted caramel drizzle and nuts. The toasts were a bit soggy, but what I like about this dish is that it is not overpoweringly sweet despite the generous amount of salted caramel drizzles.

Beer Braised Stew - short ribs with brown butter mash (Don't worry, it won't get you drunk!). The beef ribs were cooked perfectly but the winner of the dish would be that wonderful buttery potato mash. Butter makes everything nicer, I am sure.

Beer Braised Stew ($21)

I drink coffee quite often (more specifically, lattes and chais) but I cannot differentiate a to-die-for coffee to a good-but-can-be-better coffee. It is either good coffee or yucky coffee to me, one way or the other haha. All I can tell you is that the place serves good coffee and good food (though lacked a bit of seasoning in general), but the best part of Sixteen Ounces would be the wonderful staffs and relaxed atmosphere. I would see myself coming back again the next time us girls need to catch up on coffee (and gossips). Hopefully by then they would have a bigger menu!
