The Good
It was a fantastic start to our meal with the Eggs Benedict. With two perfectly poached eggs sitting on top, we dug into an absolutely divine pulled ham hock. The porky flavours were just sensational, and made even better by the tender and juicy goodness of the pork itself. Underneath sat a beautifully crunchy potato hash, it’s crisp outer fell away and reveals a soft and almost fluffy inner. Combined with a creamy hollandaise as well as a burst of sweetness thanks to the pomegranate seeds, this was one mean eggs Benny.
We also enjoyed the Poké Bowl. Opting for the diced, cured salmon proved to be an excellent choice. The delicate and tender cubes were spot on, so fresh and well accompanied by a spicy Sirarcha Mayo. Alongside sat plenty of edamame beans, seaweed salad, as well as sliced avocado. All served on a bed of warm brown rice and finished with kewpie, this flavourful yet healthy bowl did not disappoint one bit.
We rounded off our meal on a sweet note with the Superfood Chia Pudding. Gorgeously presented, the chia pudding was beautifully decorated with a toasted almonds and seeds topped with berries, grapes and fig. The pudding itself was light yet creamy, well behaved in sweetness and created a refreshing sensation when combined with a swirl of agave.
The Mediocre
Nothing.
The Bad
Nothing.
