Let's just say that this Bene is the dish for which ALL others will tragically never live up to. (Solid prediction) Perfect poach, house made hollandaise of the richest & silkiest texture I never thought possible. It just gets better from there, and you don't question how-you just get lost in the plate. Service was outstanding; informal, but it works. Hip, classy-funky, and filled with beautiful locals; Aussie's who are privileged to live in this gorgeous country (and have Tartt available to them as a bonus in this beautiful little NSW city of Forster). Can a dish prepared by a darling yummy Chef make the whole food portion of your Holiday the best ever? Yep. Oh, and try the Brisket Bene...I had a sneak peak after ordering traditional; a beautiful thing.

Now, the coffee here is not great - but honestly the best cup in the area. But you don't really come here for the coffee, but rather the food. It is great! You have to love a place that has 8 different kinds of egg benny. You know a place is good, when you can't make up your mind of what to actual eat. Further, to make this place place even better all the workers here are really nice! Service is a bit slow, but that is only because it is extremely busy.

How can you go past a place called Myalla Magic? What is so magic about this place? Well...I think…read moremaybe the country town Australia charm is the magic this little cafe in Buladelah has. It's really the perfect place to stop off when you're on the road on the Pacific Highway travelling north from Sydney. It's not too far from the highway that it's a massive detour and you feel good helping a local community and your stomach doesn't hate you because you're not eating fast food. We stopped off here for brunch on our way to Port Macquarie and were not disappointed. I love breakfast foods so really anywhere that is going to serve me eggs and bacon is going to be great. You can get eggs any way you like them with a whole range of sides from mushrooms to spinach and they even do gluten free bread for those with dietary requirements. The poached eggs were runny, the sautéed spinach was fresh (actually it was silverbeet which I am a huge fan of) and the hash browns were crispy. Really all you can ask for. The bread that came with the breakfast was from the local bakery and the baked beans did come out of a can but were still delicious. They had run out of mushrooms for the "Buladelah Breakfast" which one of my colleagues ordered so the owner ran out to get some and made sure we got them even though we had all finished our meal. They went above and beyond substituting things when their kitchen ran out, giving extra hash browns to one of my other travel companions in lieu of gluten free bread because they only had one slice. Their coffee is just okay but you couldn't ask for a better place to sit in the sun as a road-trip pit stop!
