Citrus (227 King St, Newtown) 15th Oct 2011

Hello blogworld, long time no talk. Apologies for that. One of us has been off USAing while the other two have been most busy with their work and PHDs respectively.

What fun we had today! Although not all of us liked the cafe itself while some of us really fell for itfound it pleasant. Citrus cafe is on the northern end of King st before the Dendy and is one of those lovely King st cafes which open out onto the street. And you know you are on King st when one of the juices is called 'lush boy'. Overall, opinions of the food varied and the service was good to begin with but waned when we didn't order our food automatically. Then in terms of atmosphere one blogger deemed it 'plain' while another liked its open street feel.

This morning it was just back to the three of us again after a big last two weeks with numerous esteemed guests and even a country expedition to north-west New South Wales when the brunch club went on tour. Conversation topics canvassed (I sound like Malcolm Turnbull) films (please everyone go see 'Take Shelter'), Qantas union strikes and USA vs Aus pronunciation with a conclusion that Americans tend to phonemically follow the spelling eg. 'endure, opportunity' but then have weird spelling for 'pajamas. We definitely had consensus on the fact that dihorrea must have had a weird origin because the spelling is wildly different to the phonemics of it so we proposed a new spelling 'dia-rear'


ANDREW SAYS: 3.5 eggs. "Enjoyed my food and love the street feel. But maybe I'm cheap and will just praise anything"
SAL SAYS: 2 golden eggs. "They need to reupholster their cushions. Food was nothing special."
BRAD SAYS 2.5 golden eggs. "Too noisy"
