Breakfast at Bird Cow Fish

Yesterday was one of those Saturdays that made me realised how grateful I am to be living in Sydney. I started the day by having an unusual yet deliciously unforgettable breakfast at Bird Cow Fish. It is located at Surry Hills, a vibrant suburb that offers unlimited dining experience.

Bird Cow Fish has been awarded One Hat Chef since 2007, it serves modern Australian cuisine and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A cozy restaurant with wooden floorboards and wooden tables & chairs.

Average service, with the two(2) wait staff mostly chatting to each other or joking around with the barista. They barely say anything to the customers, giving me the impression that they are only there to take orders and serve the food.

Brioche & crumb coated soft boiled egg with spanish onion, rocket, potato, bacon & chorizo $16.50

Service aside, I love the brioche & crumb coated soft boiled egg. The soft boiled egg was cut in half, with the egg yolk still slightly runny and the egg white soft & tender. The crunchy and light brioche crumb added a contrasting texture to the egg. The fresh spanish onion and spicy chorizo brought out the flavour of the whole dish without overpowering the egg.

Croque Madame; double smoked ham, Dijon mustard, Heidi Gruyere & a fried egg $10.50

 Croque Madame, similar to Croque Monsieur but with a fried egg inside or on top. After his lovely encounter with Croque Monsieur at Brasserie Bread beginning of this year, my husband has been on the hunt for it ever since. The Croque Madame didn't have enough gruyere to give it a melting chewy cheese texture and I can only taste a hint of the Dijon mustard. However it was toasted long enough for the bread to be very crunchy and without getting the ham & egg overcooked.

If you happen to visit Eveleigh Farmer's Market, you can get a good selection of Bird Cow Fish's breakfast which includes the Croque Madame. A must buy item is their Bircher Muesli(500gms) for $10.50 if you are a muesli lover like me.
