Re: Harry's Riverside - Take Away Service
Damn it! I remember the poached thing. Thank you. My "best-mum-in-the-world" mother also told me a tsp of vinegar keeps the albumen together. Is there anything vinegar can't do? Now, where is this restaurant you speak of?

Also bring the water to a boil then taking it off when the bubbles stop, spin the water.Pseudonomdeplume wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 7:02 am Damn it! I remember the poached thing. Thank you.

La Croisette is at street 144 on Riverside. It's been there since 1993.Pseudonomdeplume wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 7:02 am Damn it! I remember the poached thing. Thank you.

Re: Harry's Riverside - Take Away Service
What date in '93? On a Wednesday, wasn't it? Ha. Some things you know, eh? Good, it will divert me away from 3B, or D bakery on 144. Above looks to be a perfectly cooked egg however, the toast beneath brings back a disappointing memory of EB on toast - just not the same. Open these days for TA are they? Expecting you to tell me to google off soon

It looks completely closed. They tried to stay open for takeaways, like many did, but they have nearly all closed now.Pseudonomdeplume wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 8:08 am What date in '93?

Oh, it was 1997, not 1993. I knew it was a long time by PP standards.

Bar. Must start reading more signage. I'm too busy swatting the kids away from my chock-filled, money-brimming pockets. Reminds me of a regionally-appropriate pick up line; "I'm actually not this tall, I'm sitting on my wallet". I didn't rate it either.

Definitely poached. But I prefer duck eggs.Doc67 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 6:46 amThey should be poached, not fried. That requires very fresh good quality eggs and a bit of care and attention, which is a big problem for most kitchens here. The eggs here have incredibly thin shells with pale and lacklustre yolks. They are the worst I have ever come across.Pseudonomdeplume wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 5:47 pmMy favourite breakfast but it's inconsistent and if its not done properly, it is not eggs bene. It's just not! I have had it done perfectly at Intoxica and gone back a week later to be served hard eggs on TOAST. They did nail the sauce tho, which I thought was worth praise. Then they stuffed the sauce on the 3rd attempt with only 1 runny egg. It is not their traditional food, admittedly, but perfect that common favourite and you should increase your market share. I need to learn how to pronounce "soft fried eggs so the yolks runs into the muffins". Google translate aint cuttin' the mustard. One of the partnered members here may be of assistance? My special little "caramel-coated-flower" seems to think it is pronounced "huh?"
I found the Eggs Benedict at La Croisette to be very good, but I haven't been there is a long time.

Agreed, and nearly the same price as a chicken egg. twice the size and better flavourAnchor Moy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 4:58 pmDefinitely poached.

The bright yellow yolks we find in eggs in the west are actually not a natural phenomenon.
They are achieved by feeding a food additive to the laying hens.
