Ashton & Old - Carindale

The pancakes were quite good and my partners eggs with everything else was also pretty yummy, decent serving sizes. Friendly staff. My only issue is that it's a bit pricey.

Service is friendly and the staff really make an effort to have a quick chat which is nice! The food were served in generous portions and the coffee was delicious!!

Came here with a couple of girlfriends for brunch. The food was yummy but nothing to rave about. I can't actually remember what I ordered which is saying something, for me! However, I love love love that you can purchase the plants and the terrariums that decorate the cafe! I took myself home a gorgeous terrarium in an old water jug and I love it dearly!

Do not expect the set-up is so spacious in this café. Walked in last Saturday and particularly ordered the Char Sui Fried Rice for my brekkie, of course, I would not forget to have the flat white. Well, coffee was above average; strength, aroma and smoothness were all good. However, the Fried Rice was slightly let down. First of all, the rice was too hard and it was a bit weird to add plum sauce with the rice. On the other hand, the pork and the herb were good. May I suggest if the chef can pre-cook the rice to perfection and left them overnight prior to prepare the fried rice then the effect will be better. Since the fried rice needs to be dry, adding the plum sauce would only make it too sweet and wet. Other alternative sauce will be more appropriate, which has to leave to the chef to think about....In addition, I would suggest the name to be Pulled Pork Fried Rice instead because Char Chiu is a name for a particular BBQ pork, where the pork that I had looked like the pulled pork style. All in all, overall experience is good.
