C1 Review

After training on Sunday, I met Lisa and Dalin at some undie show at Addington Raceway. It was cheap but mostly rubbish so we left pretty fast. We eventually decided to go into town for lunch, and after exploring a couple of options we ended up at C1 Espresso at 150 High Street.

I ordered one of their famous iced chocolates. They are more like a dessert than a drink and are very decadent. My iced chocolate arrived in a tall glass with 2 (or maybe 3) scoops of chocolate ice cream, chocolate fudge syrup, chocolate milk and a couple of lollies on top. It was yummy and was all gone before my food arrived. To eat, I chose the bagel with grilled haloumi, sundried tomato cream cheese and side salad. This gave me a chance to try haloumi for the first time. I concluded that I’m not going to add it to my list of favourite cheeses but it is alright. The standout performer was definitely the sundried tomato cream cheese. It was absolutely amazing and I wish I could have taken some home for further consumption. The salad added some colour to the plate and helped me convince myself that my lunch was at least partially healthy. Lisa and Dalin seemed to enjoy their meal too. The total cost was about $16 which was great considering the size and quality of the food and drink. C1 rocks!

After lunch, we headed to Peaches and Cream for some Hen’s party research. Me and Lisa are convinced that Dalin spent the whole walk trying to work out how to avoid going in the store… she eventually came up with a weak excuse and missed out on the fun.
