On a sunny weekend, we went to Faraday's Cage for brunch. Here's what we had:
House smoked salmon and sweet potato corn and quinoa fritters with poached egg ($21.50). The salmon was smoked with green tea and apple wood chips. To be honest, I don't know what apple wood smells like so I can't comment much on that. The smoked salmon is served cold, and is quite refreshing. It's not too salty or smoky, quite refreshing. The appearance of the fritters were not pleasing, it looked burnt, but it is not. Taste wise, it was quite bland but was alright when eaten with the spicy sauce on the side, or mixed with the rich yolk of the poached egg. Also, we added some hot sauce which we enjoyed immensely.
Big breakfast ($22.50) came with baked beans, bacon, chorizo sausage, 2 poached eggs, grilled tomato, toast and relish. Compared to the smoked salmon, this dish is probably better value for money. Bacon, eggs and beans on toast, just fancier. The baked beans are house made and tastes clean, not like the sugar laden canned ones.
The dishes were presented beautifully. I think the eyes eat first, then the stomach and it's certainly pleasing on the eyes. Though the wallet complains a little because of the price!
