Is the hype at Drom worth it? Motion, set, debate! Yup, I have been getting into the idea of debates lately thanks to Fred and Hannah's enthusiasm or perhaps forced participation in them.. not sure if any teenager would willingly participate in more extra curricular activities.
Debating is about raising arguments for and against a motion (a topic) regardless of your own conviction. I think you can have a nonsense bs argument but as long as it's presented convincingly and delivered with enough flair you might just win.
Back to Drom.. we ordered a supermoon - a variation on the shape of the traditional croissant. A crescent moon and a play on their name which means dream in a Nordic language.
The hazelnut chocolate crescent is filled with chunky hazelnut and sweet chocolate. It is crispy on the outside, expected with the slabs of butter that has gone into making the dough but still quite light overall. At $12 I understand why the baker was putting these away in the glass case like his grandma's bone china tea set.
I ordered the breakfast bagel ($15) which has maple honey bacon, egg and cheese.
It was very tasty but very greasy with liberal applications of cheese and aioli and butter. My unexplained chest twangs got worse. The bagel was soft like a dense cut of bread which is nice because I need all my teeth for old age. And they don't skimp on the bacon and eggs, there were at least two eggs used in the making of the scrambled eggs and two slices of bacon.
The conclusion: the food is expensive, but you get all the fat and sugar you pay for plus you get to support the employment of dozens of bakers in Bayswater. It is a yes for me.
