This summer, I discovered this stylish cafe that blended into the downtown area where I used to live 13 years ago, and decided to drop in. It has a nice design and a comfortable space. I wondered if there was a cafe like this in a place like this once, and when I looked it up, I found out that this is a new cafe and the main store is in Melbourne, Australia. For food, I had Mom's scrambled eggs with homemade natural yeast bread. For drink, I had a long black, which is typical coffee style of Australia. Mom's scrambled eggs are fluffy and creamy, with a unique flavor of soy sauce and sesame in the sauce, but it's fragrant and very delicious.

Ordered breakfast and coffee, latte....etc. when the food being delivered, there was no butter, nor jam, we asked for a butter and found the store charged ¥160 / butter.
We have been travelling round the word since the mid-80, this is our very first encounter on it.

CIBI, here you go:...
