Cafe Adventures @ Hash Specialty Coffee & Roasters

A newcomer in the brunch scene, Hash Specialty Coffee & Roasters have proven to be one of the new underdogs in the hardware lane district.. Serving their specialty drink, the 'Hash Hot Chocolate' and their refined breakfast and lunch menu. 

Hash Hot Chocolate ($6)

Melted Mork Chocolate (Dark) w/ Fairy Floss

First up is the one and only 'Hash Hot Chocolate', Melted chocolate poured on top of fairy floss? sounds like heaven to me. It turned out to be quite average, the chocolate had an alcoholic taste to it, but that was due to the dark chocolate. An interesting mix.

(3/5)

Slow Roasted Pork Belly ($20.5)

Slow roasted pork belly, goat's cheese, pickled mustard seeds, hazelnut, & textures of apple

The pork belly was amazing!, succulent and tender, it was definitely the highlight of the dish. though the accompaniments were lacking in flavour it pulled down the overall score from at 4 to at low 3. 

(3.2/5)

Ocean Trout Rilettes ($19.5)

Smoked Trout Rilettes, toasted s'dough w/ poached eggs & bearnaise sauce

An average dish in my opinion, it was good, but there wasn't a 'wow' factor when i first took a bite. The bearnaise sauce was beautiful but it had overpowered the dish.

(2.8/5)

Leek & Cheddar Croquettes ($19.5)

Leek & cheddar croquettes, cauliflower puree, ham hock, cavolo nero, and a tumeric poached egg

Before you all judge me, i did come here a second time to try out the dishes so don't think i ordered so much in one sitting :)

The 'Leek & Cheddar Croquettes' was definitely my favourite dish from my overall experience dining here. The croquettes were crispy and flavourful, combined with the cauliflower puree, poached egg, and well, everything else on the plate, it was marvelous. Though i felt the ham hock could've been replaced with something that would've paired with the flavour of the dish as it stood out too much.

(4/5)

Chorizo, Scallops & Eggs ($20.5)

Chorizo, seared scallop on toasted sour dough w/ fried egg, chilli and a white bean spread

My friend had ordered this dish, she said that the dish was overall quite disappointing as there wasn't enough flavour. I had a sample of the dish and i can tell that each individual ingredient was delicious but combined together, it didn't provide a 'wow' factor therefore resulting in an average mix.
