It was Sunday morning and I had an appetite that could not be satisfied by the packet of Honey Crunch in the pantry, so I suggested to my partner that we indulge in a big breakfast at Maxxi Moos, not far away in Albert Street, Brunswick.

I was looking forward to leisurely eating a plate of poached eggs, tasty bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes, having heard that the food was among the best you could eat in cafe-crammed Brunswick. Sadly, I was disappointed.

We walked into a clean and spacious cafe, with a pleasant view of the small park opposite, and were greeted by a friendly waitress. So far, so good. Our big breakfast arrived, and our Maxxi Moo experience turned sour. The presentation was not inspiring. The food looked as if it had been salvaged from a bushfire, with the bacon appearing to be suffering from rigor mortis, and the tomatoes and mushrooms indistinguishable, as they were all black. However, being the optimist that I am, I thought, "It's OK, I like my food well done". The problem was, the big breakfast tasted bland. There was no flavour whatsoever in any of the food. Perhaps the overcooking killed the taste that one expects from food that would normally have such strong flavours.

We gamely struggled to eat the charcoaled food which was, at $16, the most expensive meal on the extensive breakfast/lunch menu, but gave up after my partner's bacon flew off the plate when she attempted to cut it in half. Should have brought a chainsaw.

Upon leaving, we both stated that our leisurely Sunday morning will have to wait another day, and that next time we decide to eat a big breakfast, it will be in a cafe where the food is gently cooked over simmering heat, and not thrown on a bonfire.
