Poporo

Poporo is one of the new places that has opened up where Mama's Kitchen used to be in Market City. The food is "Japanese modern cafe", the decor funky and the staff friendly.

Along the front of the restaurant are row of touch screen computers where you put in your order - great novelty value!

The service was quick, our seaweed salad arriving minutes after our order was put in. This had an eclectic mix of purple, green and white seaweed on top of a garden salad, dressed with an olive oil and soy dressing.

The squid ink spaghetti had a rich tomato flavour, despite the inky looking sauce.

The huge Poporo burger stack consisted of a crumbed and fried beef patty with bolognaise and white sauce, bacon, Italian leaves, tomato and parmesan cheese.

A bit of an Asian take on your average cafe food - some interesting combo's I wouldn't mind trying include the teriyaki tofu and vegetable burger and the crabmeat and eggplant doria (oven baked white mornay sauce and melty cheese in tomato rice) - there's always next time!
