My friend and I have a club going... It is the 'Let's go for a good lunch when we feel disillusioned about work' club. We meet up at least once a week, which probably tells you a little about my work...
Anyway, recently we tried a new place. We went to South Society on my suggestion. I had read about it in the papers, which introduced it as a hip, modern joint in the suburbs. It certainly did look hip. Minimalist furnishing, hard cement floor which did nothing for the noise levels, and a nice coffee machine humming right at the front of the cafe which gives an indication on the type of customers they would like to attract.
The cafe serves an all day breakfast menu, but we picked two items from the lunch menu being soft shell crab burger and chicken with bacon burger.
This is my soft shell crab burger, served with chips ($22). The soft shell crab was fresh, it didn't have the frozen kind of taste that I have tasted elsewhere, and it was crispy perfection.
My friend's chicken burger ($20), similar to BLT. Kudos to the cafe for serving a moist, juicy chicken breast, but the bacon did not have enough taste. The sweet potato chips were delicious. They had done a good job with the chips as sweet potatoes could easily have been over caramelized but these ones were crispy and tasted delicious.
The burger buns are home made as are the chips. The ingredients novel (my soft shell crab certainly was) but awere they worth the price tag? I'm not quite sure... but still, South Society is a good choice to have in the suburbs.
