Unless you've been living under a rock, then I'm sure you've heard of the freak-shake phenomena taking over the world. One place in Perth that has been very popular for their freak shakes is Cafe 2 TwentyFour. Their photos of their freak shakes (or mega shakes as they call it) attracted me and Miss. D to visit on a fine Friday morning.
We were glad we planned this lunch on a weekday as we've heard of the excessively long queue Cafe 2 TwentyFour attracts on weekends. On this particular day we had no trouble getting a table. As soon as we were given the menus we went straight to the shakes section to check out their selection. To my dismay, Miss. D did not want to join in my mega shake party and encouraged me to order the "healthiest" shake they had, the strawberries and cream.

| Strawberries and Cream ($9) |
Ok, so other than the two strawberries in this shake, there's probably nothing else healthy in this shake, but it was probably healthier than the chocolatey or peanut buttery or minty based shakes right? Well, healthy or not, Miss. D and I enjoyed sharing this shake on this particularly warm day. Miss. D only had one sip, but I made sure she paid for half!

| Pulled Pork Eggs Benedict ($17.90) |
 |
| Mushroom Trio ($14.90) |
To balance my "healthy" shake, I ordered the pulled pork eggs benedict. Miss. D ordered the mushroom trio with an extra poached egg, however they missed the poached egg order so her dish was poached egg-less. Being the good friend I am, I gave her one of mine, and she gave me some of her mushrooms. I have to say, I loved my pulled pork eggs benedict on its own, but with the mushrooms it was even better! The mushrooms were drizzled with a generous amount of truffle oil and it made the whole dish smell and taste amazing. The hollandaise and pulled pork was amazing even without the mushrooms and I highly recommend it for a hearty meal.
So, although I invited the wrong person to have a freak shake party with, we really enjoyed our meal at Cafe 2 TwentyFour. The menu items there were traditional, but done very well and the flavours were amazing. I'll be back, maybe not with Miss. D though =P.
