Date visited: 2013.07
Total bill: RMB¥420 for three people
Will return: Yes
What to get:
– Poached Eggs
– Scotch Duck Eggs

I like my local Chinese food but when I need my American brunch fix, I go to Madison (also see previous post).

Orange Carrot Juice (RMB¥40)
Refreshing

Mango Smoothie (RMB¥45)
A certain lactose intolerant someone got this and there turned out to be a lot of yogurt in this. This tasted similar to Beijing yogurt, which I really like so I took this and gave my orange carrot juice away.

Housemade Pork Sausage (RMB¥36) with wholegrain mustard
Recommend: yes
The sausages were very fatty and delicious.

Country Fried Wagyu Steak (RMB¥98) with chorizo gravy
Recommend: no
We were disappointed by this. I think the fried part really overpowered the taste of the wagyu steak. The wagyu flavor never really came through so I think any steak would have been fine to use for this. The meat was a bit hard to chew as well.

Scotch Duck Eggs (RMB¥44) with arugula and wholegrain mustard
Recommend: yes
A very good staple brunch item here. My usual complaint is that I would have liked the egg to be slightly runny (and it’s never the case) but otherwise I really like this. The layer of meat outside of the egg was so good.

Poached Eggs (RMB¥54) with pig trotter croquette and XO hollandaise on english muffin
Recommend: yes
My favorite for brunch–I love love love this. The pig trotter croquette was the highlight, which was crispy and savory. The hollandaise sauce had a rich and fatty taste and wrapped up the whole thing well. Get everything in one bite.

Banana Stuffed French Toast (RMB¥58)
Recommend: yes
This is a great choice if you are in the mood for something sweet although if I could only choose one thing (rather than pigging out like this every time), I would go with one of the egg entrees.
