I was there to eat off their new breakfast menu. I really wanted to try the Smoked Salmon Rosti Stack, which had two rosti, smoked salmon, poached egg, and a dill and caper sauce. Or rather, I wanted to try the rosti stack part, but I am not a fan of the smoked salmon (they use Sophies). So I asked for it with bacon instead, and got some wilted greens on the side. This was a winning combination, and one I highly recommend!
I also got a PB&J smoothie, which is peanut butter a smoothie. While not as beautifully presented as the last time I had it, it was still just as delicious!
I got a snack and a salad to take with me, planning on having them while I was at work. But that breakfast really filled me up a lot. It wasn't until I was almost at the end of my shift that I was feeling a bit peckish. So I snacked on the Flour of Life Vegemite and Cheese Scroll I have picked up.
And I had my salad for dinner after I got home! It was my favourite Chicken Caesar Salad. I bought one a while ago that just wasn't as good, which was sad, but I a, happy to report that this one was back to their original glory.

While this photo was randomly chosen from the archives, I did want to make sure I had Sahara on the post today. Today, the 17th of February, is the fifth anniversary of Sahara's passing. I cannot believe it has been so long. I want to be with my girls again.
Can you tell me what Sophie's smoked salmon is like? We have it here now but the cost alarms me and it seems like it doesn't have much going for it nutritionally, so I hadn't tried it yet. But I always wonder if I'm missing something I might love.
ReplyDeleteI bought them once here when they were $2 per packet, which is something that they often seem to be. They are made from konjac. I don't actually mind konjac in other forms, but the way these were so thinly sliced the jelly/slimy texture just didn't suit me. The flavour was just OK, but nothing great. I definitely prefer carrot smoked salmon. I wouldn't buy it at full price, if you get it on sale, give it a try.
DeleteThanks for the input! I don't know if I've ever had konjac, but I tend to dislike glass noodles for sliminess so I'm wary--although I love okra and it's slimy so who knows? I'll wait for a sale. There are plenty of things left to try in the world anyway!
DeleteI hope you are getting my comments...it doesn't look like they are 'acting' like normal. Regardless - I hope you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteAlso...how did they do that poached egg?
