Chester Street Bakery and Bar, Fortitude Valley
Going out to a
restaurant and café especially on a public holiday is a risky one. I guess it
all depends on which café we choose though. On the Anzac public holiday, MXM
and myself decided to go to Chester Street Bakery for brunch. We had to wait
long, really long for seats and for our food to arrive. I was so tempted to
order one of its colourful cake on display just to satisfy my hungry stomach.
As it was quite a warm
day, I ordered one of its pressed juices while MXM had his usual long black;
both reasonably good.

| Pineapple, orange, carrot and passionfruit juice - $8.50 |
As for our meals, I had the 'falafel with poached eggs, spinach and tahini yoghurt'. I was not impressed at
all looking at my meal.

| Falafel with 'poached eggs', spinach and tahini yoghurt -$18.90 |
At a glance, I knew my poached eggs have been
overcooked, and it is like eating hard boiled eggs. Without the oozing egg
yolk, the dish was extremely dry, more so with the minimal amount of sauce, fresh spinach and dry falafel. I could not make myself to finishing my meal. I was
disappointed.

| Fish Tacos: snapper, red cabbage, coriander and pineapple salsa -$17.90 |

As for MXM’s fish
taco, it looked more appetizing than mine. He commented that it was all right,
cooked well, but the flavour was just balanced.
I think one experience
itself cannot and should not be used to judge Chester Street Bakery. It may
just because it was a public holiday and they had a busier load of
clientele. But I would not be returning for now.
