Went out for brunch at Bar Baba with a couple of friends. Weird sounding name, at least to me. Sounds a lot like "barber bar" or the ramblings of a some crazed (and perhaps hungry) madman.
Anyhow, food there wasn't too bad. Coffee was good enough to have without sugar. Not at all bitter. I tend to be a sugar coffee person for the most part, so that's saying something. It was, however, a tad on the weak side but the foam made up for it.
Brunch was Eggs Benedict on English muffins with smoked salmon, along with freshly "squeezed" orange juice. Well not so much as squeezed as pulverised. For me, there's always a moment of hesitation when I'm faced with a cup of frothy juice. Just seems so unnatural.
Getting back to the food, overall it was quite nice and reasonably priced. Some people might find it under seasoned i.e. without enough salt. I'm perfectly fine with it. Actually, I was pleasantly surprised that the salmon wasn't a salt bed, like most smoke salmon that I've had tends to be (even at the swanky places).
Nice, friendly service capped off the morning. All in all pretty nice but not something worth writing about.
Well okay, may at least worthy of a mention. I'll save the marching band and parade of pigmy elephants for something real special.
Worked in a few episodes of Coupling on DVD. Pretty funny show, especially the giggle loop (how many times have I been caught in one of those!)
