#birchertweet: The Roots, North Sydney I'm always astonished at places that serve Bircher who insist on putting more yoghurt on top of something that already has plenty of yoghurt in it. It just ends up doubly yoghurty. That's just part of the problem at The Roots. It's a bit bland, and it's all a bit samey when it comes to the texture too. Just add a bit of crunch people, and we'll all be happy!
#BircherTweet: Bru, North Bondi
Picked up the $10 Bircher and coffee takeaway special on Sunday. No sonoma granola or acai on top like their deluxe version, but their basic option still packs plenty of flavour, and a nice crunch to boot. Good size, good combination of fruit, and good consistency. Comes with a great coffee as well of course.
Today's slightly delayed #birchertweet comes from my much sought after seat at last Saturday's #TEDxSydney conference. I love #FarmerJo's granola (spiced pear & pecan is awesome), and they happened to have a stand at the Eveleigh Farmers Markets near the TEDx venue, Carriageworks. I was very happy to see little bircher pots for sale, and with the addition of some Farmer Jo Burnt Fig granola on top it was a very tasty way to start what was an immensely enjoyable day.
Pre-Naplan #BircherTweet from my regular weekly brekky with MissA & MissE. This time from Annandale fave, Revolver. We mainly went there because MissE has a Paddington Bear-inspired penchant for their marmalade toast and tea, given they serve it on old china with an old-style jam pot. To be honest, I wasn't even aware they had a bircher, and a fairly traditional one it is too, served with poached pear and rhubarb. The consistency of the bircher is just right, but my main complaint is that both it and the rhubarb are quite sweet. Add them together and it's just a bit too much. The texture is all a bit samey as well - needs a bit of crunch to mix things up I think.
A #birchertweet from Glebe's Astor Espresso this morning. I remember when Astor Espresso was three times the size and called Craven ... mmm, brownies ... but that was another life. Anyway, now the old Valhalla is office space and the Craven is, well not. But it's still a nice space, and they serve Campos coffee so all can't be too bad. They serve a Honey spiced bircher with sheep's milk yoghurt and poached pear. The flavour's quite subtle, and with a nice mix of nuts, but it's an interesting consistency - it almost looks like normal muesli. Turns out, they soak it in water rather than juice, then put some honey through it and refrigerate. The water explains the subtle flavour. It's not bad, but the yoghurt and pear are also quite light on flavour, so it could do with a little something to add some punch. And perhaps a dash of crunch.
Letting you in on a little secret for this #birchertweet: the place that got me on the bircher bandwagon in the first place was the breakfast buffet at the Wentworth Hotel. Went back again on the weekend, though it's now a Sofitel. Back then they presented it nicely in a little glass, now it's serve yourself. But they've got everything you want, and while a bit runny, the bircher was pretty good. Certainly worth a visit, especially if you have a friend with an Accor Club Card.
A variation on the theme for this #birchertweet. Glebe's Madame frou frou's does a breakfast couscous soaked in apple & cranberry juice. Topped with seasonal berries, pepitas, dried fruit & mint, it's not wholly successful, but it's not bad. Coffee's pretty good too.
A Good Friday #birchertweet to reveal my secret ingredient. This is another version of my own homemade bircher using Uncle Toby's Rolled Oats, fresh (well, thawed) raspberries, and a new addition of Farmer Jo's Pear, Pecan & Spiced Ginger muesli on top. The muesli's great, but what adds just the right sweetness, in lieu of sugar etc, is a dash of maple syrup. Just don't tell anyone.
I've got a bone to pick this #birchertweet - with the BluBerri Cafe on Wairoa Ave on Bondi. When a menu lists a dish as "granola, bircher, yoghurt and berries" I don't expect the granola/bircher to be either/or. And then when I asked for some granola on top, I was charged as a "two in one". Hmmm, I didn't say anything because they were nice people, and it wasn't that expensive anyway. As for the quality of the bircher - not bad, a bit heavy on the yoghurt, and it definitely needs the granola for a bit of balance. OK, not great though. And that'll be it for pre-Bondi Nippers Bircher for a while. Will have to find a few new options after my Sunday ride.
#BircherTweet - finally got to try Bru's Famous Bircher at the top of the hill at North Bondi on the penultimate week of Nippers, and I have to say, it was worth the wait. Lovely bircher mix in itself, but when you make it a "special," with the addition of yoghurt, fruit salad, sonoma granola and the Amazonian "wonder berry" acai, it really was special. I'll be back...
#BircherTweet - direct from the Pure Boutique Coffee Bar on Jetty St, Glenelg SA. Cheap as - 5 bucks - but nice flavour, consistency and ingredients. Winner!
#birchertweet: I have a convert! MissE's automatic request when we walked into Jed's in Bondi on Sunday - Bircher with berries and yoghurt. The breakfast of Nipper's Champions!
#birchertweet: Leichhardt's relatively new cafe, Well Co, has a few interesting things on the menu - like chocolate lasagne - so I was keen to give their bircher a crack. Berry coulis, greek yoghurt, grated apple - all kinda expected, and the flavour, pretty much dominated by the apple and the coulis. The bircher itself was a bit bland really. Shame. Good coffee though.
This #birchertweet doesn't get off to a good start. By the time I got up to North Bondi's Bru Cafe after Nippers on Sunday, they'd nearly run out of "Bru's Famous Bircher". I got my order in, but by the time they got up to it, someone else had nabbed it. On the upside they then comped me some of their Quinoa & Live Seed Porridge with yoghurt, bluberries, honey and banana. Have to say, it was pretty awesome. Best comment was from MissE who asked if I could make it for her breakfast every day of the week.
#birchertweet: new mix for my homemade bircher - Whisk & Pin's bircher mix with some mixed berries, and Plum's Cranberry Crunch granola on top. Plus a dash of maple syrup to finish off.
#birchertweet: Zac's Cafe at St.Leonards - too big, too much cinnamon (in lieu of any other flavour), and in need of something else; a bit of crunch or some compote or something. Would choose only as a last resort.
Adriano, the scottish/italian guy behind Paper Cup is probably the guy most responsible for my bircher obsession. I first tried his Arabian Bircher at Clipper in Glebe, then Clover in Annandale, and now Paper Cup in Stanmore. Delicious flavours; main problem is they quality of the bircher tends to go downhill when he moves onto his next venture. And he's now in Japan, so things are probably on the slide. But that all said he sure knows his presentation, and the addition of crumbled pistachio is a masterstroke.
