It Just Has To Be Delicious

Wisteria’s Edge, Edgewater

This unassuming little cafe sits in amongst the little shopping mall on Wisteria Parade in Edgewater. There’s always a friendly face to greet you and a nice selection of tables both inside and outside.

Their small brekkie is one of my favourite lunch options, it’s like a half serve of bread, sausage, bacon and egg with either beans or tomatoes, perfect for just a light lunch. Drinks are good too – the coffee is good quality and there’s a selection of nice juices.

On this visit I chose a bruschetta with a serve of mushrooms. Really good and appetising, with a nice proportion of onion to tomatoes, a drizzle of balsamic and a dusting of parmesan.

My partner chose the club sandwich, bacon, chicken, lettuce and tomato with a side of awesome chips.

This is one of our go to places, we go back again and again.

The menu has the usual breakfast options including avocado smash, eggs benny, granola bowl, omelette and French toast. For lunch there are breakfast options plus salads, fish and chips, nachos, bruschetta and sandwiches. On top of this there is a selection of savoury and sweet dishes in the cold cabinets – frittata, cheesecakes etc. so it’s a place that easily suits a breakfast, a lunch or a coffee and cake date. Consistently good and worth a try if you haven’t been before.

Heng’s, Edgewater

We visited Heng’s on a recommendation from a work colleague. It’s a no frills Chinese restaurant in Edgewater, nestled in amongst the shops on Edgewater Drive.

It was quite empty when we arrived, but soon filled up with local diners, and the phone rang non-stop for takeaway orders. We were given some very tasty prawn crackers to start.

Our starters were prawn toasts and chicken satay. Both very flavoursome, and the prawn crackers arrived with the traditional red gloopy sweet and sour sauce.

The satays were nicely marinated with a good curry peanut sauce.

For mains we chose prawns with ginger and spring onion:

Chicken with black bean and capsicum:

Special fried rice:

The rice had that lovely charred wok flavour, portions were generous, and the other dishes were pleasant to eat – standard Chinese restaurant fare.
I wouldn’t say the food was amazing, but if you want good, cheap Chinese food, this a reasonable local option.
