Ish that all there is?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Cafe Ish is a new cafe in Regent Street next door to the Actors Workshop. They felt like a new challenge having been in Surry Hills and from what I have seen they won't have a challenge bringing in customers. On Saturday at lunch people were being turned away because of lack of seating.
I went with my RHBB as I had noticed they had crisp chicken wings, which I just lurve. We ordered the wings with soy & vinegar sauce but they mistakenly gave us the hot sauce. Instead of taking them back, they said to keep them and the correct order would be just a few minutes - no argument from us!
Of the two options we actually preferred the hot sauce option - not the best photo, but they really are lovely and crispy.

Our second choice was the mini crab omelette - if that's what they call mini, can't imagine how big the normal is. Anyway, it was actually soft shell crab which I used to love but having seen them in the raw just cannot eat them now. Sometimes it is best not to see things before they hit the plate. Blood sausage is one....tripe...bull's testicles... the list could go on.

Anyway, moving right along, we were chatting with the couple who shared our table and they each had burgers which looked pretty good. A nice crisp topped bun and not too gross a size so it would fit into most people's mouths, if you know what I mean. They also had the milkshakes which apparently Cafe Ish are well-known for and gave them top marks.

Now, the couple who shared out table were very nice but as they live in Redfern..EAST I had to remember that they are a station above me as I live in plain Redfern. And now of course there is Redfern Heights to consider. Maybe I am really living in a valley.
