hello 2018! here’s hoping that this will be an amazing year.. certainly we will be starting this year strong with multiple food adventures! this post was about a place we visited late 2017, a place called decolata cafe based in summer hill, a sydney suburb with a cute retail and cafe strip.
the cafe itself is really cosy with small tables – perfect for that date. we were quickly invited to take a seat and to order our drinks. c got a diet coke ($3) and i got an iced mocha ($6). i was going to get a milk shake for the first time in my life (and i have friends who swear by the humble milk shake) but changed my mind at the last minute as i wasn’t terribly excited about the idea of drinking soft serve ice cream. as it turned out, the iced mocha came with ice cream so i’m guessing it is close to how a milk shake would have tasted? it was quite good (a bit too sweet for my liking), and if you are planning to order it, make sure you stir the glass well prior to drinking as it does not come mixed!
for mains, i got the prawn and avocado joy ($19). i recently developed a liking for avocado and i can see why there is a hype around it as it is simply delicious! the prawns were deliciously cooked to perfection, even though i hate getting my hands dirty in public i would gladly do it all over again for the prawns. avocado was creamy and an amazing addition to the salad. pesto was meant to be in the salad, however, the taste could’ve been stronger. overall an great dish.
c got the chicken satay exotica ($19). sauce was creamy and peanuty and is all you want in a satay sauce. chicken was really tender and delicious paired with the sauce. as with mine, the salad was ok.
as for desserts, i got the banana split ($14). ice cream was nice and creamy – my pick out of the 3 flavours is vanilla. the ice cream tasted really good with chocolate sauce and i’m a huge fan of waffle pieces. i would pass on the whipped cream, warm whipped cream and ice cream makes a rather strange combination in my opinion but i guess others may like it!
c got the rocky mountain with chocolate and vanilla ($12). marshmallow was slightly hard, and c reckoned that the waffle pieces and caramel sauce was standard. however as a package it was a great way to end the meal.
