8th May 2011 Worst Mother's Day breakfast ever!!! So My Mum and I went to cafe Essence, Ngongotaha. We both ordered Eggs benedict. When it came out I had one mouthful and the Hollandaise sauce was vinegar with a bit of cream-GROSS! So we sent it back and ordered something else as it was un-edible. While we were waiting, this huge guy comes storming out over to us and starts rudely telling us "That's how they do Eggs Benedict there!" Mum disagreed, as she had the same dish there last week. He was like "No, it is supposed to be like that and maybe you should read the board carefully and order more wisely next time!!" I was like "hold on, you're being very rude: and he sneered back "Yes I am!!" and walked away WHO WAS THIS MAN??? you ask? The owner of the cafe. So to cut a long story short, I wanted to walk out, but mum made us stay and so my hormones and frustration kicked in and I sat there and cried and didn't eat my new meal. What a TOTAL waste of $51.00 as well as being spoken to that way in a cafe full of customers!!!! DON'T GO THERE GUYS... I have never, in my life been treated so badly!!!

16th March 2011 Today I visited with our garden circle. We were disappointed. Although we booked it appeared they were not prepared for us. They seamed flustered when we asked for water and glasses. We were given plastic glasses. We agreed prior to be offered 3 meal options, only two were offered on the day. My chicken salad was pathetically small.
