HATCHED!

Haha, Nooooo, not referring to Grayden the little hatchling!
But the relatively new cosy establishment at Evan's Lodge.

Tucked away in the small corner of Evan's Lodge, it's certainly easy to drive by, ambivalent to this cute little hang-out place for weekend brunches along the way to either Cluny court for Da Paolo's or Relish or Botanic Gardens for Au Jardin.


As it's name implies, the main staple on every item in the menu, you guessed it, is eggs!
Hard boiled, poached, scrambled, fried, they were in any form imaginable on the extensive menu.

Sis L and I shared the Le Rossini - classic scrambled eggs jazzed up a notch with truffle oil and foie gras and the Burly Benedict - poached egg with corned wagyu beef decked on a traditional English muffin.

The truffle scrambled eggs was the yummiest. Simple, so easy to make and yet we never thought to put truffle oil in eggs! I am so going to try this out for my next breakfast. Never really a fan for poached eggs, the Benedict left much to be desired. The wagyu beef was a little too salty and the combination just didn't cut it for me.

The others tried the Cowboy and the Croque Madame. The cowboy - a simple fried egg on top of a juicy steak and the Croque Madame - Kurobuta ham and Emmental cheese served with a fried egg on Ciabatta bread.

By the time we had sampled all the orders, I was starting to get the feeling that this little nook was merely giving cute fancy names to traditional classic ham and cheese sandwiches and simple eggs on bread dishes. The sad thing was, we were paying over $14 to $20 for brunches that we could probably recreate in our own kitchen, and I would hardly hail myself as a chef.

The eggs were well executed, but as the Hubby always says, it's hard to go wrong with eggs for breakfast. In fact when we travel, the safest things to eat during breakfasts were eggs! Cos they almost taste the same on every continent.

So Hatched was a slight disappointment. Though I had expected the food to be like so after all most times we have brunch, it's almost always eggs with meat on toast, and seriously, how much variety can there be?
At least we had a nice outing for Graydie with his Uncle B and Queen B. :p
