little white truths

Mex and I discovered Hobba late last year and it was a happy, local discovery. It's one of the newer kids on the local scene and already it seems to be booming. Part of the attraction - at least for us - is the building itself. The warehouse-style layout is modern, fresh and appealing: a great place to sit back and relax.


These were the breakfast pancakes that Dad ordered when he came along with us one time. He'd had his eye on something else but the table next to us ordered these and, when he saw them come out, he changed his mind and ordered them too.

He said they were great - filling and well done. The pancakes were nicely fluffy and the dish was simple without being boring.


This was what I ordered on the first time we went. It was on the lunch menu: a roast vegetable salad with goats cheese. From memory it cost about $18.

It was sensational - the veggies were cooked to perfection (not too soft) and the pine nuts and goats cheese added interest. My only gripe with it was the amount of oil used for dressing: it really didn't need that much. If it appears on the menu again I would definitely order it, but I'd ask for them to go easy on the oil.


Mex ordered this one: beans with chorizo, feta and a scotch egg. He loved it and was pretty upset when it wasn't on the menu the next time we went hehe. He likes his food rich and hearty and this definitely achieved that. He's also pretty hard to please when it comes to breakfast, but this dish hit the mark.
