Eggspectation - City Walk

Image
Eggspectation is more than just an egg place. They have some good burgers, pastas, flatbreads, salads, and juices too.  I was invited here for a cooking and tasting session with their executive chef Rohan . I had a hot cup of latte as I waited there for our session to start. They have two outlets - JBR, and this one which is in City Walk. The kitchen of this one is smaller as compared to the one in JBR, but is really clean and hygienic.  Chef Rohan started off with the omelette and made it look really easy. Then we moved on to the poached eggs, and he gave us tips about the amount of vinegar you need to add in the water to get a perfectly poached egg. He also showed us how to make a flatbread from scratch. Then we moved on to the savoury crepe and last but not the least - the s'mores french toast (which I will cover later in this post).  Omelettes can have a lot of different variations,  but I haven't seen one that looks as good as the one served ...

It consists of poached eggs and spinach on an English muffin. It also has salmon, which we replaced with mushrooms. The eggs were done right and tasted delicious. It is served along with hollandaise sauce which goes with it very well, and also roasted potatoes.  They've got all-da...

Bread Street Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay

When Gordon Ramsay dictates how the food is made, you can be sure it is great! This was my first time visiting a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, thanks to a close friends of mine who is foodie, a chef and a big fan of Ramsay.  It is located in Atlantis, Palm Jumeirah which is all the more reason for you wanting to go there. As soon as we went there, the hostess greeted us and explained us about the menu. That day they had a buffet which includes a selection of cold and hot starters, drinks, and a choice of main course.  This restaurant is inspired by British pub culture but still maintains the look and feel of a fine dine.  Among the cold starters they had quite a few sea-food items which consisted of salmon, tuna, lobster, et al.  It all looked really tempting and we just couldn't to decide where to start from.  There were the tuna devilled eggs which I found interesting. It is tuna filled inside boiled eggs. Here's how it looks: These were rea...
