Jam Face Cafe Adelaide
Jam Face cafe in Adelaide Central Market is the brain child of the fantastically talented Poh Ling Yeow of Master Chef fame. Eat My Street was invited along for a breakfast feast at this adorable little cafe in the heart of the market, as part of the Tasting Australia Words to Go Festival. I was in for a never ending brunch spread in the style of Alice in Wonderland but minus the Matt Hatter.
We all gathered around the cute little timber tables hand-built Poh and Johnno (her husband) and tried the delicious house made granola and yoghurt which had a very pleasing blend of tartness, sweetness, and crunch. This was followed by a skinny flat white that I had been dreaming about all morning and once that was finished my tummy was feeling very happy. Little did I know that there were another 5 courses to follow.
Next we were served Poh’s silken, salty, scrambled eggs. I am calling “best over” on these memorable scrambled eggs. They were so delicious that I frequently have cravings for them and I am still busily experimenting in my own kitchen trying to replicate the dish. (Is it worth taking a flight to eat eggs? Adelaide is a long way away…..)
Next up was the oh so stylish bacon and egg sandwich. This came with an excellent toasted parmesan and thyme crust that served to elevate the dish to next level goodness. 
Baked beans in their gorgeous little orange pots came fresh from the oven, followed by buttermilk pancakes and then a lavish plate of pastries. Cooking with pastry is Poh’s first love and it certainly showed in the intricate detail of her pastry creations. 
This was all accompanied by Poh’s own range of cold pressed juices, with interesting combinations such as watermelon strawberry and mint juice and beetroot, lemon and chocolate mint juice.
I really loved my breakfast at Poh’s Jam Face cafe. The classic brunch/ breakfast dishes all had their own unique “plot twists” that made them memorable and excellent. The cafe fit out was cosy and comfortable and imbibed with Poh’s creative flair.
If you already thought Poh was talented (and I am pretty sure that we all do) then wait until you check out her new little cafe. You will delight in its tasty, colourful creations, just like Alice down the rabbit hole.
Happy Eating.

Eat My Street is a Melbourne website dedicated to good food for the good life in Melbourne and beyond. We post recipes, reviews, interviews, events and more. Follow along on Facebook or sign up for the Eat My Street Cooking Club to join in the fun.
We are so blessed to live in this city of Melbourne and be surrounded by people of all different cultures, races, colours and cuisines. My own mother spent some of her formative years in Malaysia and developed a love for delicious, spicy cuisine and regularly ventured outside the “meat and three veg” in her own cooking. I love visiting the homes of my friends from other cultures, whether that be Malay, Indian, Polish, Ethiopian or Mexican, and feasting on homemade stir fries, curries and other Asian delicacies.
Amy’s love of food is only matched by her love of fitness and her fear of choosing the wrong dish on the menu. She loves to explore new places and old stalwarts, constantly torn between ticking a cafe off her “to try” list and revisiting the favourites. She owns way too many cookbooks but the pleasure she gets from experimenting with new flavours and serving them to her family and friends far outweighs any debt incurred.
