Pourhouse

Pourhouse Restaurant Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato I heard Pourhouse has a really decent burger, so I dragged a friend along to give it a go.
I'm sure it's a nice looking place, but it's dim inside. Lights are dimmed at 7pm, and again later (8pm?). For a tight space, there's actually quite a bit of privacy with how the seating is arranged, plus there are lots of booths. If you want any chance of a booth, best to mention that during your reservation.

Pot of Tea ($4.50)
  • Hmm... No tea bag. So you basically have to finish your tea quite quickly, otherwise it becomes unappetizing cold tea, and there's no point adding hot water because there's no teabag!
  • Not sure about the spoon since I didn't get sugar or honey anyway.

Scotch Egg ($8)
  • Basically a boiled egg deep fried with sausage meat on the outside.
  • Pretty thick layer of sausage meat, which was quite tasty with spices but also a bit salty ('cause it's sausage!)
  • Overall, pretty pricey for $8 and OK tasting.
  • If you insist on spending your money on hard boiled eggs, try Tuc Craft Kitchen's Crispy Bacon and Egg for $4. It's strangely good and half the price (but obviously less meat).

Devils on Horseback ($7)
  • Go easy on the BBQ sauce, which could ruin it for you with the sourness.
  • Dates with a cube of cheese in the middle, and wrapped in bacon.
  • NOT oysters! Those are Angels on Horseback.
  • Overall I didn't find these particularly tasty. Interesting small bites, but basically $1 each.

Rabbit Terrine ($15) beer mustard, bread and butter pickles
  • The terrine itself is sweet and tasty. The rest is... the rest. Pricey for $15.

The Pourhouse Burger ($18)
  • Menu doesn't mention it, but comes with fries and a half pickle, making it a decent meal.
  • You're probably paying for the quality of the meat in the patty, because there's basically nothing else.
  • Patty is smaller than the bun! But thick, and cooked "medium", evidenced by the pink.
  • Overall, not really tasty unless you can appreciate the meat in the patty -- which I admit I can't. Not enough to justify it being $18, anyway.

Beets ($15) labneh, pears, wheat berries, dukkah spice
  • Winner! Get this.
  • Price for portion on the high side but it's tasty and interesting with a middle eastern flavour.
  • Beets not particularly sweet, unfortunately.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 9

More assorted couples on my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. An American couple who joked about being from "the land of the giants" -- and with good reason, because both of them were really tall! A cute Jewish mother-daughter pair who ducked out part-way to divert to Israel. I vaguely remember the issue of the daughter being an orthodox Jew was highlighted in France when, to make things easy, she just declared herself vegetarian for the wait staff. I also remember there was some logistics error in France because our party size was way underestimated or simply relayed incorrectly, and there was a shortage of food at dinner. Dessert came as an unopened can of yogurt. It did not seem like they tried to make it up to us later, either. Plus there was smoking every which way in France, and I had a helluva time with that. We were also in a hotel that seemed tucked away in the burbs, and not walking distance from anythin
