Be My GÆST - The Nordic Affair

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH SMOKED SALMON

The usual Scrambled Eggs menu comes with freshly smoked salmon, sourdough bread and eggplant salad. I actually tried the smoked salmon sandwich before, so I requested to take it out from the plate. This was not a common practice for the staff, but they were so kind and just charged me for what I wanted. 

POACHED EGGS WITH EGGPLANT AND GOAT CHEESE

Two portions of poached eggs served on Danish rye bread with eggplant and salad on the side. 

For those who have a low tolerance to goat cheese, you can request to replace it with feta or creme cheese (whichever ingredients are available). Just make sure you inform the staff when you are placing your order. 

*Menu may subject to change depending on the availability of the fresh ingredients.
