Caffe Brixton

Caffe Brixton Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato Whoa, Caffe Brixton is vegetarian! This pub-like place isn't in-your-face advertised as vegetarian, but if you look closely at the menu, it is.

We dropped in tonight when it wasn't super-busy, but they also didn't have a lot of staff on the floor either, so getting water topped up only when we asked might have been a short-staffing issue more than an oversight. Still, for a place that is "seat yourself", I think staff need to be more alert.

TIP: The very-discreetly-tucked-away washrooms are definitely worth a look. If you go into the bigger (handicap stall) one, look closely at the Star Wars wallpaper and you'll notice a misspelling of "Leia".

The music is played pretty loud here!

Tandoori Tofu Naan ($10) caramelized onions, goat's cheese, tandoori tofu, mango chutney, arugula
  • Totally not what I was expecting as they tofu-topped and toasted the naan into a crunchy-at-the-edges flatbread pizza. There's no point calling this a naan anymore.
  • Very light dressing on the arugula. Just enough for you to notice something, without covering up the taste of the arugula itself.
  • Large chunks of mango in the "chutney" means even distribution is sort of tricky. This combined with tofu that tasted bland despite the clear amount of red spicing means many bites of this pizza turned out to be bland bites of tofu.
    • If you like tofu to start with, that probably won't bug you at all. I need helpers for my tofu intake, and I had been hoping the tandoori part and the mango chutney part were going to really help. But nope.

White Sangria ($4.50) sake, white wine, stone's green ginger wine, coconut juice, lychee, mandarin, aloe, lemongrass
  • I'm not a drinker, so I didn't sample this. But price for portion is really hard to beat! No skimping by giving tons of ice, either!

Porcini Bianco ($13) porcini mushroom cream, thinly sliced potato, parmesan, mozzarella, truffle oil, cracked pepper
  • Truffle oil very uneven. Most of it was around the middle right slices. The left side had only unexpected whiffs of that whenever I detected any. In any case, not too strongly truffled, so you don't have to worry about a too-rich aroma if you're not so much into truffles.
  • I didn't read the menu too clearly initially so most of the time I was disappointed by the distinct lack of mushrooms. But the menu does read "porcini mushroom CREAM".
  • Most of the flavour comes from the white cream and cheese, and it is actually tasty.
  • If you can get over the fact that this isn't exactly a loaded pizza (the potato does give it a bit of "meat" / substance) price for portion is on par with something like a Neapolitan from Famoso, for example.

Eggplant Parmigiana ($13) breaded eggplant baked with mushrooms, on top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese
  • Menu says nothing about garlic bread, but you do get two slices of garlic bread with some sort of garlicky paste. I also liked the toasted-till-burnt-but-not-everything-charred garlic on the toast, rather than a more typical buttery garlic toast style. But that's personal preference.
  • The tomato sauce on the spaghetti is not watery or thin, but it tasted that way for some reason.
  • Crusty-crunchy breading on the eggplant stayed crunch for a long time. Just that itself has a comfort-food tasty charm; just don't expect to taste the eggplant so much.
  • Price for portion is pretty good!

Meet Melissa Gaines and her blurry sexy pics

Oh boy! I had no sooner finished posting about the lovely Taylor Burch responding to my personals ad on Craigslist when Melissa Gaines (e-mailing from erikmcclure858@yahoo.com) mailed me a couple more pictures of her lithe body and selling her profile on the same looks-like-a-phishing-scam site (http://craigslistsafe.net/profiles/melx3/). One of them was an NSFW naked-breasts pic which I haven't posted here (sorry -- but honestly, nothing to write home about, especially with the serious bikini tan lines). Here's the e-mail exchange: Melissa e-mail #1 Here is my picture as attached. Please e-mail me details what you are looking for along with your pictures. Thanks and waiting to hear from you soon.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
