Yesterday we had brunch at Roti - an American contemporary restaurant. They had Eggs Benedict on the menu, so of course this completed my decision-making. Sonia had the soup, which turned out to be Mexican Black Bean with Chorizo. A little heavy for first thing in the morning, but nice and spicy.
The Eggs Benedict looked nice as it came out. However it was let down by the yolks, which had been cooked just a little too much and were no longer runny. Other than that, it was good - the English muffin was fresh, the ham was good, and the hollandaise was fine if nothing exceptional. We were sitting outside, as Tokyo was experiencing one of the warmer spring days. Coffee was well done. And so to the scores:
- Eggs - 6/10 - over cooked the yolks.
- Bread - 8/10 - English muffin toasted nicely.
- Hollandaise - 8/10 - could have used a little more, but otherwise good.
- Coffee - 8/10.
- Ambience - 8/10 - nice sitting outside, although it could quickly fill up with too many ankle-biters.
- Total - 38/50.
That's interesting. At the specifically-targeted Japanese Kobe beef steakhouse down the road, the Kobe beef goes for NZ$120. Haven't checked any non-Japanese-targeted places' menus.
