It's been a while since I visited this space and shared my thoughts and experience with you all. As humans, we are regularly visited by life events; the good and the not-so-good ones. In recent time, a small wonderful part of my life just disappeared like dust blown away without traces. So I was going through a bit of an internal process. Hence why I have been keeping my latest experiences to myself to focus on clearing my heart and my thoughts.
Anyway, lets start with something relax yet comforting... On a relax Saturday evening, I was taken by a friend to Coffee Warehouse Cafe & Deli which is located on busy parramatta road in Homebush among the old shops and second hand car dealerships. It doesn't sound like the most glamorous spot, is it?! I've noticed this place ever since it was open. I always assumed that it is a deli that specialises in gourmet coffees and serves lunch or takeaways. I never would've thought of going there for dinner. When my friend suggested it, I was reluctant. However, since it's coming from a long term friend of mine, I trusted her judgement.
They have a good menu of traditional Italian dishes. We decided to get the Risotto ai Funghi and Spaghetti Aglio e Olio. The risotto is basically mushroom and truffle risotto with grated parmesan. Sounds very simple, doesn't it? Yet, impressive flavours. The mushroom was cooked so well it's tender while still maintaining its slightly chewy texture. The truffle flavour is clear yet subtle. The spaghetti was satisfying. I tasted freshness and clean flavour with each ingredients from the olive oil, sutble yet wonderful garlic flavour, to the extra chicken I requested that is tender and supple. The clean taste of each ingredient shines through beautifully and blend together wonderfully in every dish.
Of course, we had to have the coffee after dinner. I went for slightly unconventional option of Coconut Coffee. My friend went for a more traditional choice. Needless to say, the coffee is smooth and flavoursome. The coconut flavour in my coffee beverage is clear yet suttle. The evening turns from reluctance to a happy satisfied feeling that I'd love to repeat in the near future when I feel like a relax evening with beautiful dinner in a convenient suburban diner.
