We had brunch last week at House, and on cool-ish mornings like that, we've noticed that it's really nice to sit outside on the patio with a cup of coffee and just listen to the crickets. It's nothing like the crazy busy city that we've gotten so accustomed to and such a refreshing change to have some peace and quiet.
While the ambience is indeed awesome (sitting outside makes you feel like you're on holiday without actually being on holiday), the food was a mixed bag of hits and misses. Service, whilst chirpy and smiley, wasn't super organised either.
We had:
1) Barracks Freeform Eggs ($21): a medley of scrambled eggs, chipolata sausages, mushroom ragout and cheesed up rose tomatoes . The sausages were the star attraction here, they were textured, juicy, spicy and totally delicious. We loved it. Practically fought over the last chunk. The eggs were fairly well done, light and fluffy. We liked the use of shimeiji mushrooms in the ragout but it could do with a smidge more salt.
2) Roast Chicken ($26), spice-rubbed, was unimpressive. It would have been tonnes better if marinated longer. Apart from the sinfully tasty chicken skin, the flesh was disappointingly lacking in flavour. The potato mash was good, whipped smooth and creamy but the fondant carrots could have also stayed longer on the grill. I could have chipped a tooth on them hard babies.
