Ronin @ Hongkong Street
Hong Kong Street is almost asleep on weekends during the day and I was almost surprised to find that there was a brunch place that came to live, Ronin is its name. The girlfriends have praised this place for their kickass coffee and sarnies and it took me a weekend to troop down. 8am opening hours sounds like a great place for early birds and even at 12noon, it was only starting to fill up - how I love lazy brunches. Their eat and drink menus are limiting which makes unavailable dishes more glaring - the much awaited curry rice and roast beef sandwich were out that day. Minimalist chic. Dining in groups more than 2 becomes a challenge as most big tables are meant for sharing or face coffee tables and aching backs. The pot of tea that was great for 2 cups. Iced Wicked ($7.50) Throw me to wicked looks on this, they say it is better hot than iced. I say, listen to the weather. Americano ($4.20) Dirty Ronin ($13) Chorizo, Gryuere, Soft Egg, Miso Mayo, Lettuce Great for 2, these 4 halves ...
