This beautiful, family orientated cafe has only been around for a couple of months and is run by a friend of mine called Patrick. For a little history, his father is a good family friend who actually owned a separate cafe in Wahroonga but recently sold it and now works for his son! We have been going to this cafe ever since it started and I cannot fault it! With its quirky layout that consists of bicycles hanging from walls, kids table in the middle (with drawing paper to keep them busy while you have some coffee)! The atmosphere is very trendy but also relaxed, with a friendly greeting every time you enter. 

Their menu for the adults is a bit mediterranean but quite extensive! From poached eggs to pastas to sandwiches to burgers! The list goes on! At around $14, there is a little bit for everyone! Personally I prefer the french toast...every time I go there! Their children's menu will also keep your kids busy with burgers, nuggets, schnitzel or fish n chips that come to no more than $10! 


With parking at the back, this place is very accessible, and its right behind one of the best butchers in Sydney! The owners love to stop and chat with you when they get the chance to make sure you're enjoying yourself, so I would definitely suggest going down to have a look! I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

restauranting by the reef

The Reef Restaurant is one of Terrigal's more exclusive and classy restaurants, situated right in Terrigal Haven overlooking the spectacular beach and down the coastline. The other day you would not believe what happened to me... Actually don't guess, I am going to tell you anyway because I am so excited and I hope you will be too! One of my friends went to the Reef Restaurant and was so pleased with the food, atmosphere and service that he just could not stop talking about it. Not too long after this, he purchased a $150 gift voucher for my boyfriend and I to go and treat ourselves to a 3 course meal and drinks, simply because he wanted us to enjoy it as much as he did, talk about generosity!

I am so excited to visit that I thought I would do a brief post on the restaurant so we can all be excited together (I'm so keen I have already started looking through the menu and thinking about what I should get!).

Firstly, here is where the restaurant is:

need a little Boost?

Now, there aren't too many food stores that give you such an extensive and vibrant range of juice and smoothie options, so that means there is only one place that I can be talking about... Yes, that's right, Boost Juice!

Yoghurtland- Westfield Tuggerah

image source: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=yogurtland&rlz=1C1KMZB_enAU581AU581&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=uuNrU9DTKNCElAXpu4CYDg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg&biw=1517&bih=741&dpr=0.9#q=yogurtland+logo&tbm=isch&facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=piSR7yJo1iTChM%253A%3BAY1kn7TxCijayM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Flogonoid.com%252Fimages%252Fyogurtland-logo.png%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Flogonoid.com%252Fyogurtland-logo%252F%3B1024%3B293


Finally! For so long I have wanted to go to Yoghurtland, I have followed the store's opening and development on Instagram since they opened a store at Westfield Tuggerah on the Central Coast, even my Mum has come home on a few occasions and told me how much she enjoyed it- and she didn't even take me! So, it was a dark, rainy night and I sat at home feeling pretty miserable, but then I realised that it was Thursday, do you know what that means? That means... LATE NIGHT SHOPPING. So over to Westfield I ventured and the crowds were swarming, through all the bustling people I maneuvered my way to... YOGHURTLAND.

A wave of excitement overwhelmed me as soon as I stepped inside, opposite me a wall sporting a plethora of froyo flavours beckoned. Now I will admit, while trying to put some 'Dutch Chocolate' froyo in my cup the machine spluttered and I wasn't entirely sure what to do with the handle... they could have possibly put some better signage in regard to how to use the machine so that people like me don't look so silly in front of all the customers sitting down enjoying their frozen yoghurt.

image source: http://frecklesprinkle.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/img_3356.jpg


Anyway, continuing down the wall I picked a few more flavours, although I was devastated I didn't try more (I'll definitely have to go back and do that!) I ended up deciding on 'Mango Mixer', 'Dragon Passion Tart' and 'Guava Grapefruit Sorbet'. These flavours turned out to be totally awesome but I was quite taken aback when I realised that many of the flavours I had taken a liking for on their website weren't available in the store.

After choosing my frozen yoghurt flavours I ventured over to the toppings, and oh boy, there was such a range to choose from but at this stage I was starting to become conscious of my froyo's weight (price is calculated on weight) so I went to the counter and got the lady to check what I was up to- just under $7, no worries, with all the froyo I had collected I was definitely getting my monies worth. Back to the toppings. Wow, never before have I see so many! Just to name a few, there was; watermelon, kiwi fruit, passion fruit, mixed berries, mango bites, lychee bursts, strawberry bursts, mango bursts, pomegranate bursts, cookie dough, brownie, fudge, smarties, m&ms, choc chips, yoghurt drops, flake, a range of chocolate bars, coconut, biscotti and many many more! I chose the bursts, cookie dough, flake, m&ms and mango bites but I could easily have chosen more!

It's weigh in time... $7.36.. what! The toppings were so cheap! I definitely suggest being very strategic in what toppings you put on your froyo because the lighter ones will cost you less AND you will be able to have more!

image source: http://www.yogurt-land.com/flavors/nutritional-facts/


I was so excited to taste my froyo and the first spoonful into my mouth was a very strategic one as I tried to fit as many little goodies on it as i could.. and gosh, not only was it strategic, it was delectable!! I cannot wait to go back to Yoghurtland and I definitely suggest that you check it out if you haven't because not only will you get a yummy treat but you will have a fun time getting those DIY juices flowing as you construct it for yourself!

P.s. I did intend to take a photo to post on here to show you guys, but unfortunately my belly was a bit excited and before I remembered to get out my camera I had already eaten half my yoghurt- oops! At least you know its irresistible!

The Entrance Lake House

The Entrance is home to some of the Central Coast's most beautiful scenery and most family friendly activities to enjoy. The magnificent waters of Tuggerah Lake that skirt the town parallel a multi-purpose walking and bike track so that the locals and tourists can immerse themselves in the scenery before the lake eventually channels out to the Pacific Ocean at the pristine Entrance Beach and Sea Bars. 




(Image source: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=the+entrance&rlz=1C1KMZB_enAU581AU581&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=Gz1pU4y_KMeA8gXUw4GgAw&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg&biw=1517&bih=741&dpr=0.9#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=PHJ4XVajWZ9KEM%253A%3BvznLUifzz12dxM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.bluebaytouristpark.com.au%252Fimg%252Fpano.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.bluebaytouristpark.com.au%252Forana.html%3B900%3B300)


Throughout the year the Entrance boasts numerous tourists, from afar and locally as they come to get away from the busyness of life. The area welcomes family holidays with a range of activities such as free music festivals, markets, mardi gras, vintage car shows, pelican feeding, boat hire, fishing and play equipment and areas for children.

Amidst all this my family ventured into one of the towns oldest facilities, The Entrance Lake House. This 100+ year old building, with the help of architects, was restored back to its original state as it replicates that of a 1900's luxury guest house. The renovations are outstanding and for my family who have lived in the area for 50+ years it conjured memories of the Entrance as they enjoyed it when they were young. The history of the Entrance is actually quite fascinating and I'd definitely recommend reading up on it if you're thinking of visiting.




(image source: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=the+entrance+lake+house&rlz=1C1KMZB_enAU581AU581&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=sj1pU4P0K8Kl8AWhhoLYAg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg&biw=1517&bih=693&dpr=0.9#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=aZ05fLg-M_naJM%253A%3BgB95Uzw8Eo7W_M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252F1.bp.blogspot.com%252F-0lMjhHkNuy0%252FUHkMshXzKQI%252FAAAAAAAAAMY%252FdJte9UCT87Q%252Fs760%252FTELH%25252Blogo.png%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Ftheentrancelakehouse.blogspot.com%252F%3B528%3B527)



Anyway, in we walked the The Entrance Lake House and as soon as we finished gawking over the setting sun over the lake, our eyes were set upon the menu and our bellies were having a terrible time trying to decide what to order! The meals looked scrumptious! We finally decided on a Mexican Chicken Parmigiana (parmi, by the way is always a good go to when you are feeling a bit undecided when looking at a menu) with sides of salad and chips. We sat down and began soaking up the relaxed atmosphere of the Hotel. I will admit, although the music was suitable to the 90's culture they were sporting, it was just a smidge too loud which made conversation with my parents a bit tough (although it could be that they're, you know, getting on a bit if you know what I mean...).

In not too long our meals arrived, served by an absolutely lovely waiter who was very genuine and took an interest in us and made us feel like valued customers. The food was also delicious! Now, you might find it hard to believe... but I don't really like hot chips... but oh boy these chips were a different story, I just couldn't get enough! The Parmigiana was also a brilliant size that left me very satisfied and the Mexican flavour is definitely a good option as the salsa, guac, sour cream and cheese kept the chicken schnitzel moist. 


Our delicious Mexican Chicken Parmigiana.


Overall the experience was brilliant and the service alone would make me go back there, not to mention the food! My parents, actually, HAVE already returned and enjoyed another meal there with friends!

The Cow Shed



(image source: https://www.facebook.com/thecowshedcafeterrigal/photos/pb.476629625767327.-2207520000.1399275916./476653402431616/?type=3&theater)


This morning I set out with a friend, in the icy wind, to venture for some breakfast. Luckily, we came across this little cafe that was protected from the wind and had the morning sun filtering into the dining area. We immediately knew that this was where we were going to find refuge from the Autumn chill and a soul-warming meal.

(image source:https://www.facebook.com/thecowshedcafeterrigal/photos/pb.476629625767327.-2207520000.1399275916./476633125766977/?type=3&theater)


As soon as we sat down the waitress greeted us with cups and a large jug of water as we scanned the menu. Oh boy! and did we scan that menu! The meals on offer for breakfast were absolutely so delish that it was difficult to commit to just one decision!
My friend finally decided on a Smoked Salmon and Chives omelette and I chose, although very tempted by the bircher muesli, a 'Breakfast Bruschetta with mushrooms, grilled haloumi and pesto'. We relaxed after ordering and starting chatting but in no time at all our meals were served, well, let me tell you, we didn't do much talking after that! Just a lot of  'mmm's'. For $9.90 the omelette was easily worth more than we paid, it was probably the thickest, largest omelette with an abundance of salmon and other wonderful flavours inside. The bruschetta was even more worth the money, probably being enough to feed 2 people! It consisted of two toasted bruschetta pieces, a generous spread of pesto with even more to garnish, countless mushrooms and probably 5-6 pieces of haloumi! I didn't want to stop eating, the flavours were divine!

The omelette my friend ordered and my breakfast bruschetta.


I can safely say we left a lot warmer, with a new found love for haloumi, satisfied bellies and smiles on our faces.

Oh, and before we left we couldn't help but check the lunch menu... I think we'll be heading back soon to taste some of their scrumptious looking pastas, salads and burgers!

are you Craving some sushi?

Crave Sushi, situated along the Central Coast's Terrigal beach 100% lives up to its name. Crave is exactly what you do. Once you have dined here there is no turning back. This unique and authentic Japanese restaurant has become synonymous with sushi for those who have been customers there.

(image source: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=595011937250656&set=pb.100002255651032.-2207520000.1399160922.&type=3&theater)


The waiters and waitresses are all very efficient, friendly and embody the relaxed ideals of chilling out with friends at the beach and grabbing a social bite to eat. The speed at which they make your order and serve it to your table is impeccable. The sushi rolls are made quite large and you don't need to order too much, although you will probably want to! These freshly crafted servings can be enjoyed in a range of flavours and styles including sushi, sashimi or nigiri filled and topped with chicken, chicken schnitzel, prawn, tuna, salmon as well as a range of fresh vegetables and authentic sauces.You can enjoy your Japanese meal either inside the restaurant or outside, alfresco dining style, which I might add, has water views.

Other items on the menu that Crave are becoming renowned for include their plated dishes such as their delicious specialty, teriyaki chicken or Japanese wagyu beef curry with rice. They also encourage the social atmosphere and group gatherings through their selection of tapas style entrees easy for sharing such as octopus served with shaved bonito, crab flavoured rissole and scrumptious gyoza dumplings.

The only criticisms I have of the restaurant are the lack of easy access, although their is a multi storey carpark only a short distance away the quick walk feels like forever when you are craving some of this modern Japanese cuisine. The meals can also be quite pricey but for the quality and size of the meals on offer most find this easy to look past.
