Olmecs Pancakes with Blueberries
So, I went to Olmecs on Bridge Rd in Richmond and ordered the blueberry pancakes. This dish was recommended to me by a friend who said that the pancakes were massive. "Bigger than Red Tongue's?" I asked.
"How big are Red Tongue's?" he replied.
"This fucking big," I said. They had really big pancakes.
"Well, maybe not that big," my friend said. "But they're really good."
Well, when the blueberry pancakes arrived, I was mildly disappointed that they weren't bigger than the wheels on a car (like Red Tongue's). But the generous helping of blueberries within the pancakes and on top of the pancakes was encouraging.
The top pancake was great, slathered in maple syrup, fluffy and crunchy on the outside. Brilliant!
Then the other two pancakes were kinda dry. The maple syrup hadn't soaked through. And there was no whipped butter. No ice-cream. Things were looking grim for the third and final pancake.
Finally, I asked for more maple syrup and mopped up what I could. There were still a few non-blueberry bits of pancake on the plate but I had had enough.
All in all, it was a decent dish for $9.50. But it wasn't fantastic.
I give Olmecs Blueberry Pancakes 6 out of 10.

Perth, Swan, Love [crop]
Perth viewed through the Swan River, with Kings Park to the left, and East Perth in the background, foreshadowed by the Narrows Bridge, leading to the unseen South Perth.

A Greener Descent: faded by request
A friend enquired whether b/w would suit the picture better, but it seemed to make it a lot duller. I played around with a few options and feel fading the colours make the light a little more real. What do you think?
