A lazy Sunday morning spent lazing around on the couch,
watching Shrek and wondering what to eat for lunch. And before we knew it, we
were on our way to Brooklyn Shuffle. You know, a change from the routine, a
change of place, change of food, ambiance, mood, everything. Brooklyn's got
such a happy feel to it, then why not? J
We reached a little late for lunch (2:45pm) and were
surprised to see the place buzzing with people.The staff here is
super friendly, and within a minute we had found a perfect corner for the three
of us, with cozy blue chairs and a sun-lit table. You know, the perfect Sunday setting.
We decided to order 3 dishes for the 3 of us, which turned
out to be a lot since the place is a little too generous (it’s a GOOD thing)
with it’s portions. This is what we ordered-
1 Fried Chicken Burger
1 Chiken Banh Mi Sub
1 Chicken Mac and Cheese
Along with this, we ordered-
1 Cappuccino
1 Fresh Pineapple juice
1 Coke
Here’s the verdict-
Fried Chicken Burger
10/10 for the presentation. The fries in the bucket, the
onion rings on the side, coleslaw, and the humongous burger on a wooden plate.
All for you to eat. I was afraid to touch it cos it looked so BEAUTIFUL. The
fried chicken patty looked juicy and tempting, the size of the burger was a bit
overwhelming, and the quantity of the entire dish, along with its
accompaniments, was a lot more than what I had expected.
One bite into the burger, and I was a little disappointed.
People love the fried chicken burger here, is what we were told. But maybe I
was expecting spices, a little flavor..a little something that seemed to be
missing. The coleslaw in the burger ended up making it a little too bland I
guess. I had to eat the burger with ketchup to get a strong flavor. I also had
to remove the pickles and the coleslaw from the burger to get a strong taste,
but it didn’t really work for me. I would suggest they added a little flavor, a
little spice, so that it doesn’t taste bland.
Chiken Banh Mi Sub
Once again, 10/10 for the presentation. But again, the
taste was a little disappointing. The bread was hard since it was toasted, and
it made eating the whole sub a difficult process. The sub had a little tangy flavor
cos of the pickles, and the chicken was well cooked, but I could have done with
some spice.
Chicken Mac and Cheese
Goes without saying, 10/10 for the presentation. This came
accompanied with 2 pieces of bread, and was the best dish on the table. Oh, the
cheese and the white sauce- PERFECT. It tasted as good as it looked . Yes,
this was bland, but it’s SUPPOSED to be so. It tends to get a little too heavy
for the stomach since there’s so much of pasta and cheese to be eaten, but sit
around for a couple of hours, and you can finish it off easily. And it’s worth
it.
The Cappuccino was brilliant. Light, not too milky, a
perfect froth..*sigh* (Psst- I live for
coffee)
The fresh Pineapple juice- MUST TRY IT. Perfect sugar rush,
fresh, and TASTY.
Also, you must know that when I say I am a foodie, I mean
it. So if you thought I was leaving before having dessert, you were wrong. Yes,
after all that, my mother and sister were looking at me as if I had gone nuts,
but hey, life’s too short to miss out on dessert!
So I ordered the Apple Crumble Pie. I have eaten this
earlier, and have written about it. It was good back in December, and now it
seems to have become even better. Yeah, can you BELIEVE that? It’s warm, the crust tastes like
Shrewsbury biscuits (much tastier than the biscuits actually) and the apple
inside is warm,sweet, and mixed perfectly well with cinnamon. It is served with one
scoop of vanilla ice cream. My sister and mother, who claimed to be too full to
eat more, had half of the pie together. (OMG, this is SO yum, how do I stop?
:/) Well yeah, the dessert made up for the disappointment with the burger and
the sub earlier.
I’ll be coming back. This time for coffee, the pie, and some
writing (the place has a quiet space outside where you can sit at a table
quietly and read/write, lost in your own world)
Happy Eating!
