Eggs Benedict



This tasted a bit different from the other Eggs Ben I have tried at Coffee Bean and also in Australia. The eggs are poached, so vinegar may be added to the water in order to prevent the egg white from dispersing. But I also read that if the egg is fresh enough, the egg white will stay clinging to the egg yolk.

So Canopy also added vinegar when poaching the eggs for this dish. But I think they added too much; the taste was a bit overpowering. The hollandaise sauce was also not thick enough, but the bacon was good. Overall, not really my kind of Eggs Ben. The price was a bit steep too. $12

V's verdict: 5.5/10

Update: This dish will taste better if you ask the chef not to use so much vinegar when poaching the egg! Will update the score the next time I visit.


Eggs with bacon and sausages



The bacon and sausages came as a side order, just like last time. Along with the sunny-side eggs and toast, this dish was fantastic. It's quite easy to make though, as the most important thing is to get good quality bacon and sausages. Sunny-side up eggs are easy to prepare, assuming your eggs are fresh enough. A bit on the expensive side though. $7 + $3 + $3

Note: Don't order your eggs to be fried on both sides unless the chef Desmond is around! I ordered it before and it came out as a disaster.

V's verdict: 7.5/10
