Avocado Toast and Pork Belly

The Mouse finally got to try Egghead Cafe. Used to be located where parking was an issue. Moved near the warehouse. Made a Costco run yesterday (the warehouse is currently located really close to Costco). The Mouse picked up late “brunch” after.

Avocado Toast

Avo corn toast: avocado corn spread, basil aioli, paprika, added soft scrambled egg.

Dish was good, The Mouse would have preferred a more aggressive seasoning, maybe some chili flake? The corn did not excite The Mouse.

Porky Bowl

Rice, braised pork belly, fried egg (crispy), and pickled vegetables. The Mouse liked this one. A little dash of ponzu at home, and yum.

A good try try.

Stay safe and well.

Soup

The last of the pork “brisket” bones. Not bad, $3.00 for the bag, three pots of soup.

Pork Soup

The Mouse added miso (instead of salt) and frozen vegetables at the end to finish. The Cat slurped. 🙂

Stay well and safe.

The Rest of the Gnocchi

The Mouse had to use the rest of the package.

The Cat’s bento today.

The Mouse’s Play

Pan tossed gnocchi with twice-cooked pork belly. Used the simmered pork belly, fried to warm and render some of the oil, tossed cooked gnocchi to coat, finished with dried parsley. Too bad no fresh mushroom. That would have been epic. Hee hee.

The Cat’s Bento

Added roasted sweet potato and asparagus to complete The Cat’s bento.

Stay safe and well.

Steamed Pork Belly Bowl

So, apparently, the company/warehouse I work at is exempt from the lockdown. Work as usual.

Dinner.

Thinly sliced pork belly over mixed grains.

Steam Bowl

The oil from the pork helped flavor the rice. Nom!

For extra oomph The Mouse added an egg.

The Mouse’s Dinner

Shoyu and chipotle sauce. If this was on any dim sum steam cart, The Mouse would definitely take.

Be well.
