OLLA AMIGOS, long time no blog ... Its because i havent been home on my laptop/Mac and i dont know the password too my blog and its automatically signed on my comps. I have been baby sitting a house a dog for over a week so i havent been blogging ! BUT i have been going out too eat a lot, and ticked a shit load of more places on my bucket list !
So i think it was last Saturday i went too Brewtown Newtown with Mylinh and Leviang. Just another cafe in Newtown, typical looking cafe - aka Hipster 2014 trend cafe.
We arrived around 2:50 because we went BlackStar pastry first (quick review - had it 1-2 years ago, The watermelon cake is overrated). It was around a 20 min wait for us and by the time we went in the kitchen was gonna close in 30 mins ... so luckily we got seated in time and quickly ordered our food, the workers are nice and friendly with great service. Upon arrival we got seated on a small table since there was none available for 3 so it was a bit squishy, but cant complain as at least we got a seat. We got served sparkling water straight away, i hate sparkling water ... soooooooooo i didnt like it. I ordered a lemonade first, it was really nice and refreshing and but better then the lemonade at the GROUNDS. You could actually taste the lemonade and that it was freshly made. For my meal i ordered a Squid Ink Linguine with garlic prawns (18.50$). It didnt take long for our meal to arrived i think from memory we waited 15 mins or a bit more, not sure, but it was standard waiting time.
We got our meals, as Leviang ordered a Poached chicken Baguette which was only 10$ and it was massive and Mylinh ordered Crispy Fried Blue eye cod with Spinach and chips which was 17$ also i think.
My linguine was really nice ! I am not a saucy pasta person so i loved how this was just plain and had just the right amount of flavor and not too much. The Squid ink Linguine was cooked well and was not rubbery and over cooked as well as the prawns were nice and fresh. Everything on the plate was cooked perfectly well and i had no problems with it. It was also my first time trying squid ink pasta so i was very pleased with my first experience.
Leviang said she really enjoyed her baguette for 10$ and mylinh liked her fish but i tried her chips and they were not nice at all, im not a chunky chips person so i obviously didnt like the texture and the way it was cooked, so probably only negative critique. I then went too order some take away cronuts ( which i didnt end up eating because the dogs ate it at home -.-). I got a glazed cronut and cinnamon, i had a bite of the cronut in the car, and it just tasted average not much was put into the cronut as it looked like they just rushed making it, nothing beats Adriano !

Overall i really liked this small cafe in Newtown though i don't think i would come back unless i am in the area as it isnt worth the travel up too newtown, though i do wanna come back to actually try the cronuts, as a lot of people love it and there are other flavors such as chocolate !!
Everyone should try Brewtown, make sure you go early if you go on a weekend as you could be waiting a while for a seat depending on how many people you are going with.
