Today was the thirtieth birthday celebration for a very dear friend of mine and he decided to celebrate with a brunch at
Braai--South African cuisine in Hell's Kitchen. Even though I'd previously browsed their menu online, I still couldn't come to a conclusion when our server came around to take orders. (I'd had a
Stella D'oro breakfast treat that morning, plus a cup of coffee and wasn't all that hungry) I decided to go with
dippy eggs, two
soft boiled eggs with toast fingers.

I'd never eaten a soft boiled egg before, but I at least had a clue as to how to eat them... The bottom of each egg cup was filled with salt and pepper--each one in the other--and appropriately, my toast was cut into the perfect shapes for dipping. The "dippy eggs" were just enough and still left room for
unlimited pomegranate mimosas! (
$12)

Later that night, I was feeling hungry again (even though I'd already had a
four cheese pizza and some
sparkling at
Therapy) and decided to go to
Mercer Kitchen for a late night snack. I was having a meat craving and thought about ordering their
tarte flambée, but unfortunately, it was taken off the menu. I instead ordered the
tuna spring roll, with
soybean purée.

The tuna spring roll was
okay and the presentation was shoddy; but the dressing was actually quite good. To conclude my
late night snack, I had a glass of
cold apple cider, from the dessert menu.

It was the best apple cider I'd ever tasted... thick, juicy and cinnamon-y! I also liked the fact that they offer a
juice on the
dessert menu; sometimes I want something sweet, but not necessarily a dessert.
After I finished reading
Food & Wine, I decided it was time to call it a night and head home. It was a
good Sunday...
