Brunch at Riders Cafe

Finally we managed to make a reservation for brunch at the Riders Cafe. I have always wanted to try the brunch after seeing good reviews from blogs. Took a cab down to the place and had a horrible journey. The cab was literally filled with cigarette smoke. I was coughing throughout the journey and having difficulty in breathing. What's worse was that the cigarette smoke lasted the whole journey! It was as though the cab driver have smoked in the cab with the window closed !

Thank god we make it alive to Riders! Finally, some fresh air for us !!

There seems to be changes to the menu. Whatever we read from the various blogs, we could not find it in the menu. Gal was very sad that they no longer serve pancakes, which is recommended by many bloggers. In the end, we randomly picked 2 mains which appeals to us, and we hope it turn out good.

I chose "The Usual". There is mushrooms, bacon, sausage, bread and poached egg. It was quite disappointing. Only the sausage taste good. Perhaps i should have go with scrambled eggs instead of poached eggs. There were no dressing for the eggs and the egg yolk was hard. I was expecting the yolk to ooze out when i cut it across.

Gal chose the Egg Benedicts with Ham and Bacon. When it was served, we were surprised by the presentation of the dish. There were 2 poached eggs on top of a slice of bread, not like the usual Egg Benedict. It was normal as well. Both of us prefer Egg Benedicts from The Spruce and Flutes by the Fort. Kinda of sad.

Err..... Dunno Wat am i doing with the sausage in my hand....

Our desserts, Scone and Awfully Sinful Chocolate cake with ice-cream.

Overall, both of us feels that it is not worth making the trip down to the Riders Cafe for Brunch. The place is only accessible by car or cab. The total damage for transportation was half of the bill of the brunch. I believe there are much better places for brunch. We then took a cab down to town for our routine shopping.

Perhaps it's time for me to find extra sources of income for a second hand weekend car.
