I have to admit that my mind set has been a tad more experimental of late, reason being an upcoming significant birthday. Consequently my desire for new experiences and challenges has been growing every week, and this … would definitely be a challenge.
Fresh from a beachside photo shoot for the Me Time launch (another challenge, more on that later), I returned to said establishment and considered my options.

On arrival I was ushered into ‘The Green Room’ where fake grass lined the floor and continued up the walls. While the recycled tyre stools looked interesting, I’m now wise enough to know that my stomach muscles would soon be protesting my stupidity. The same reasoning has me regularly circumnavigating the section of the gym that houses the fit ball collection.
Perched on a luminous pink chair, I noticed a buckled stop sign at my feet and that the tables were festooned with graffiti. Clearly the owners relished the unconventional.
‘One LSD please’, then pondered what was to come, along with whether I should call my nearest and dearest to convey my eternal love and gratitude one last time.
Just as I was about to cancel my order it arrived … my very first attempt at LSD ...

Bliss … a silky smooth, nutty taste without the sugary sweetness of a hot chocolate, or the bitterness of coffee.

Slowly sipping my LSD, not wanting to rush the experience, especialy as it was my first time, I was oblivious to the fact that a habit was already forming … I’ve already been back three days in a row for a fix.
Gotta run ... I’m off in search of a place that offers Hot Effervescent Red Onion Infused Nachos. By the way, as with most great secrets if you want to know where the outlet is you’ll have to contact me directly, after all I couldn't possbily reveal my source publicly.
Stop Press: So many people have asked me where this is ... it's the Wild Fig Cafe in Scarborough
Haha, great piece. You are a braver woman than me. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, it was really good and I didnt have to go all the way to Byron to try it ... shame. If you see it listed anywhere give it a go.
ReplyDeleteI will now.
ReplyDelete:) oops I feel a new addiction coming on
ReplyDeleteAh well, it's a pretty harmless one ;)
ReplyDeleteLike the sound of this one. Will be on the look out for it. Not sure about the Green Room though! Great post.
ReplyDeleteTa Rae. Will have to meet up for an LSD sometime?!? Have been loving your photos of Sydney etc, must go back and say so :) Keep well.
ReplyDeletewhich establishment is this?
ReplyDeleteAhh a few people have been asking this. I've been meaning to get on and write a larger post about one of my fav cafes ... the Wild Fig in Scarborough (Brighton Beach). Recently I went to the Naked Fig in Swanbourne and they offer it too, so I assume it's all the 'Wild' places (there's one in Freo too). I havent been to the Freo one yet but love the decor at Scarb.
ReplyDeleteIf you go I'd love to hear back what you think about it ... and the LSD
Enjoy!
Opps forgot to put the link, here you go http://www.thefig.com.au/Find/wild
ReplyDeleteThis is the link for all the 'Figs' hope it works www.thefig.com.au
ReplyDeleteIs it legit LSD? or is it just the name they give it? How much is it?
ReplyDeleteHi Anon, I'm not sure if you read through the whole post but in this case when you order an LSD you get a laite soya dandelion drink. Hope that clears up the confusion
ReplyDeleteToday, while downing my LSD the waitress asked if I knew about dandeloin. Evidently it's very good for the liver ... good to hear!
