Operation poached egg task number 2 - Miss S on 178 Whatley Crescent, Mt Lawley.

It is a buzzing place. We got there around noon on a Sunday and there were people queuing outside. Lucky we got a table quickly. If you are not that lucky, they do come out to take your order first so you get to eat by the time you sit down.

Eventhough I do want to just focus on the eggs but I gotta say, the lively quirky atmosphere did make quite an impression on me. Right from-the-word-go, with the menus being pegged onto old children's books made me smile. The tables were rather squashed together and we were chair against chair between tables. It added to the friendly atmosphere though.

But to the eggs! The plate was pretty. One of the eggs was medium size and the other looked pretty small. The two pieces of gluten free toast were pre buttered and had specks of spring onion on them. There was a small dish of relish.

I also had a glass of water melon juice which appeared literally as soon as I ordered it! It was fresh too!

There wasn't much egg white to speak of as the eggs were kinda small. I also had to be very gentle in dissecting it off the yolk because I could see the yolks were runny. The egg white had a nice gentle taste of vinegar in it. I didn't need to add any salt or pepper. The yolk was easily broken and oozed out soaking the toast. It was lovely. I normally like to eat one with the yolk spread on toast saving the other for gulping the entire intact yolk in my mouth, cos I love the way the yolk bursts in my mouth...mmm...but the first egg was so small that it wasn't really enough for the entire piece of toast to be covered. So I decided to sacrifice the other egg as well. It was equally oozy and runny. The relish nicely combined with the eggs and toast although I suspect if you actually wanted to spread the relish onto both pieces of toast, you would find the amount a bit stingy.

So overall, on the Olivia egg scale ... 4 eggs out of 5 :) Mainly because the portion size wasn't quite right...but it was pretty good :)
