Brunch today was Shakshouka (baked eggs with roasted peppers and shanklish, $16). Alone, the roasted peppers would have been quite salty but when eaten with the eggs the balance was perfect.

The entrance to Mamasita is a very discreet door next to a 7-Eleven, with the actual restaurant located on the floor above it.

Fried shallots added a bit of a crunch and the cheese and basturma gave the burger a nice...
I was planning to go somewhere for lunch today but due to a last minute timetable change instated yesterday, I finished uni at 9am. I decided to switch my lunch and brunch appointments around and initially had Manchester Press lined up. After reading up on more reviews for Manchester Press, I noted that the bagel item I wanted to try (the 12-hour pulled pork bagel) was generally accepted as being sweet, so with some sadness I crossed it off the list. Instead, I visited Silo by Joost, which...
This time I arrived at around 10:20am and there was a bit of a queue. Fortunately, because I was brunching solo I only had to wait about 10 minutes for a seat at a round communal table. While waiting I discovered that Silo was directly opposite Hardware Societe, and there was no queue. [caption id="attachment_5587" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Baked Eggs w.
