Waking up late on a Sunday, I decided to have a lazy day and started it out with brunch. I came across Moonshien & The Po Boys, I decided to give it a try. It's focus was southern comfort food. And on a lazy Sunday, this was exactly what I wanted.Located in the Star Street area, it's a bit tucked away. Layout has a huge bar on one side and wood communal tables and chairs. I was presented with the brunch menu as that is all they offered on Sunday afternoons. Menu is in English only.Bacon on Maple
Located in the Star Street area, it's a bit tucked away. Layout has a huge bar on one side and wood communal tables and chairs. I was presented with the brunch menu as that is all they offered on Sunday afternoons. Menu is in English only.
Bacon on Maple French Toast with Corn Beef Hash and Egg ($100). Simple yet perfect is what I thought when it was presented to me. The bacon was crispy. It was sandwiched between a fried egg, sunny side up where the yolk was still runny. The toast was thick and sweet with a thin layer of peanut butter between it. It was sprinkled with powdered sugar and crunchy toasted almonds. Maple syrup was provided and not pancake syrup. There was a tiny bowl of fresh fruit and another bowl of cheesey corn beef hash that was screamed of gluttony. And that is what southern comfort is. Something that will warm you tummy and make your soul feel like it's come home.
Pink Lemonade ($98 unlimited refills). They offer pink lemonade for unlimited refills. Now that I think about it, it cost as much as the meal so pricewise, this was a bit ridiculous. But the lemonade was good. Tart with a hint of bitterness from the grapefruit. And when they say unlimited? It really is. They refill your glass without asking. Once they see your glass is half full, they walk by and fill 'er up! Without asking. I felt like I was back home in North America, where bottomless drinks were always refilled without asking.
Service was friendly. Very American. Something I clearly missed a lot while living in Hong Kong. Service that checked in on you to make sure everything was gong ok. I will be back!
