Machine Laundry Cafe @ Salamanca Place, Hobart

Here's my review on the great breakfast served in Machine Laundry Cafe. We dropped by this cafe to have breakfast before starting our shopping spree at the well-known Salamanca Market, only happens on Saturdays, so be sure to drop by if you're around town. Really a good place to buy lotsa stuff and see so many special handicrafts. - see the photos I've posted here.

The concept of this cafe is unique - the cafe shares place with a laundromat, so you get to see your laundry spinning in the washing machine while having your breakfast. :)

We were there early, at about 8.30am, so we do not need to wait for a table. I have seen reviews saying that the place is really crowded later in the morning.

I had the free range scrambled eggs - the eggs were perfectly done. Machine laundry cafe uses the famous Jackman & McRoss's bread, so the wholegrain toast was good as well and the mushrooms are really big and juicy. Last but not least, the special baked beans by their cafe. The baked beans definitely tasted different from the normal tomato sauce-based beans as these have tastier spices and herbs in it and they have a rough texture.

The hot chocolate is thick and chocolaty - just the way I liked it. Perfect for a cold morning :)

The other dish we ordered, the roti bread is filled with herb scrambled eggs and chilli jam. The chilli jam's not spicy, slightly on the sweet side. It is like wrapping fragrant herb scrambled eggs in our very own Malaysia-roti canai. Tasted good- I've been so tempted to try out with the roti canai here in Malaysia - which means I need to make my own scrambled eggs so let's see if I'm hardworking enough. :P

I am really amazed with the cafes here in Hobart as each has their own identity and serves really good breakfast. It's so hard to find one which serves breakfast as good here in KL. *sigh*
