| - Loved the udon carbonara I had for dinner here with my gf, so I was really excited to try out their brunch (my favourite meal of the day obviouslyyyyyy)!! I ordered the Eggs Bennies which had two soft poached eggs, spiced pulled pork belly with a chilli tamarind hollandaise sauce on a garlic buttered toast. The eggs were perfectly cooked, but I found the hollandaise sauce to be a tad too sour. I love sour foods, and I love tamarind in my Vietnamese sour soup, but the amount of tamarind flavour was actually too much for the delicate dish. The pork belly underneath was also really hard and sorta over cooked. I was really disappointed in this dish...
The FHubs will always order waffles for brunch if it's on the menu. So obviously he would go for the waffles
Death by Waffles & Co has aged cheddar cooked inside the waffles, pulled pork, braised beef, berry compote and a fried sunny side egg on top.
He felt like they should have stuck with just the pulled pork instead of having both beef AND pork. There were a lot of layers of flavours going on but they weren't blending together very well. The aged cheddar on the waffle was a bit much and felt more like a filler than a compliment to the dish, also the cheese was cold and made the waffle a little bit too chewy. Overall the dish was ok, surprisingly the berry compote really pulled the dish together but unfortunately there was very little of it. He wished there was more of the compote on the dish.
I feel like the restaurant food quality has gone down since the first time I've been there...I hope they don't change anything else, because I loved their dinner me
