304 claims to be "Australia's No. 1 Restaurant" Brunch restaurant, this title is too heavy, the truth is that the café called 304 does exist in Australia, but it is not well-known, and it is not located in the city of Sydney, but on the beach 85 kilometers away from the city center. Fantastical marketing gimmicks aside, the 304 is still on the barren soil of Hangzhou.
Benedict's eggs are naturally the first threshold to test Brunch. The production of 304 is quite safe, and after gently cutting it, Benny's eggs immediately gush out a thin waterfall of egg liquid; The hollandaise sauce is yellow in color and has just the right viscosity, hanging lazily from the top, but the seasoning is only slightly sour and slightly bland, which cannot better bring out the fresh flavor of the egg mixture. Fortunately, the bottom side dish of the eggs Benny is of excellent quality, avocado and smoked salmon are the best partners, the former is soft and palatable, the texture is smooth, and the thin salmon has a full and fragrant aroma, fat and not greasy; Sandwiched in black cuttlefish juice bread, the black truffle ham is meaty, salty, generously served with black truffle, and has a unique aroma with eggs benny. However, the spinach in the sandwich is too humid, and if it is not eaten as soon as possible, it will thoroughly soak the crunchy rye toast at the bottom until it is soft and sloppy, making it difficult to pick up the bottom of the mouth.
A Benny egg can already be 60% full, and a Tuao breakfast is enough to make you feel sick, and it is also suitable for two people to eat together. There are two options for breakfast in Tuao, one is eggs (poached eggs, scrambled eggs, sun eggs) and the other is side bread (rye walnut bread, homemade Turkish bread, white toast). Eggs and eggs are safer choices, scrambled eggs are mixed with water, cream and milk, slowly fried at low temperature in a pot, the finished product is between solid and semi-fluid, sprinkled with black pepper, smooth and spicy in the mouth, but the scrambled eggs here are less milky, and the taste is not warm and fragrant enough, which is a pity. The side bread has been baked until crispy, the rye walnut bread is the foreshadowing under the benny's egg, the homemade Turkish bread tastes like a baguette, hard to the point of slightly scratching the teeth, and the white toast is lightly buttered, but the texture is thin and quickly becomes slag after biting, so it is not recommended. Other than that, bacon, black pepper sausage, cheese tomatoes, hash browns, baked beans in tomato sauce and asparagus are all normal and will not disappoint but will not be devoid of surprises. This meal is not intended to impress diners with sophistication, but its mission is to fill up in large quantities.
The menu of 304 changes quarterly, and the nail household, which can be seen every season, is a winning dish worth trying. Smoked Chicken Black Truffle Cream Rice is a delight for cream lovers, each grain of the rice is full of juice, full and swollen, intertwined with the cream on top and a large area of black truffle, but not greasy at all, half of the credit goes to the chef's exquisite ratio and selection of ingredients, and the other half is due to the half of the lemon that is freshly squeezed after serving. The lobster cuttlefish sauce pizza is thin but chewy, and the lobster meat is piled on top of the noodles, making it hard not to be impressed. There are not many salad minefields, all of which are composed of a variety of vegetables, high-quality carbohydrates and meat proteomes, or sour or sweet seasonings, so that eating grass is not so monotonous. However, there are also some flaws in the production of 304, the main material of tomato cream shell noodles is full of powder, and the chewing feeling is dry; There are a lot of fruit juices mixed with water and sugar, and drinking them can only quench your thirst; The meat of the steak is loose, the cooking time is not accurate, and it is not uncommon for customers to ask for 7 minutes of rare but fry until fully cooked, which is really not suitable for a popular western restaurant. Fortunately, the Flat White in the store is not bad, made by La Marzocco - GB/5 placed in the center of the store, the coffee and milk are in the right proportion, delicious and smooth, from the entrance to the last toast, the whole process is very coherent, there is no sharp acid, there is no intimidating smoke, the only pity is that it is slightly watery, the taste is slightly lighter.
Compared with the major Internet celebrity cafes, the 304 decoration style does not have too many surprises, it is a bright and fresh style surrounded by greenery. Both branches have a first and second floors, and the coffee bar is on the first floor, so diners sitting nearby and directly above will often hear the roaring sound of the grinder, and the restaurant is crowded with people, so the dining atmosphere is very noisy. It is commendable for the service attitude, although sometimes not professional enough to give a detailed answer when asking for coffee or food, but the attitude is excellent, the hands and feet are diligent, can keenly capture the needs of customers within the scope of energy, and take the initiative to provide parking tickets, Kerry Centre store can be deducted for two hours free when paying for parking in B2. On weekends, there is often a waiting time of 1-2 hours during peak hours, and reservations are not accepted, so it is recommended to go to the staggered peak or go to eat on weekdays.
