I don't hate Tai Ping Shan, but I do hate being there. It's not my scene. I don't want to be a trendy person spending hours at a trendy cafe being seen by all the trendy people who are there, likewise, to be trendy and be seen being trendy. I'm too grunge for that. Being a loser is the only type of cool I recognize. Still, I can be talked into going to TPS, when there's food involved. I thought I'd post my picture of coffee after I noticed half a dozen other pictures just like this one on this s
I thought I'd post my picture of coffee after I noticed half a dozen other pictures just like this one on this site. So I can fit in. Anyway, I had grapefruit juice and it was both good and in a decent sized portion.
After perusing the menu I decided to go with the open-faced shiitake melt. I can't find it on their online menu, so while I want to say the bread is sourdough, I can't say for sure. Anyway, this was a slice of bread, covered in a layer of avocado, which in turn was covered in a mountain of sauteed shiitakes, and then topped with a crispy layer of parmesan. It was a huge amount of food and the mushrooms were really fantastic. (Excellent)
I love breakfast potatoes. Home fries, hash browns, the things they call "has browns" at McDonald's-- it's my favorite part of breakfast. Since my sandwich didn't come with any, I ordered them on the side. They took a little while to come, but they were the perfect combination of soft and crispy, piping hot, and with a nice peppery kick. (Excellent)
I only eat my eggs three ways: hard boiled, over hard, and scrambled. I know, I'm the world's biggest egg-Philistine. Anyway, my wife got the poached eggs w/ tomatoes, bacon, and salad. She said that nothing detracted from the meal, but it didn't really stand out either. She says "B+" but remember she's an American professor, so she gives everything a B+ or an A. For a "concept" by a trendsetting Swedish millionaire couple, the food's pretty good. I daresay it's better than the food in Sweden. (Zing! But really, that's true.) I probably won't come back though. It is hard to get a seat. People really do sit there just to sit there. Everyone near us when we were seated was still there when we left. The initial seat I tried to sit in was being "saved" for someone's friend, who never showed up. Or maybe he/ she did after I left. Who knows how long they waited?
