Hello peeps,
I am back with a new thread along with a new lunch review. Let's get started.
As you know on this thread, a blogger tried to upstage me with his lunch review of Sophie's Orchard. Therefore, I decided to counter with a lunch review of my own of the place. Plus I happen to be walking by the place and was hungry as hell.
Okay, first let's take a look at the chalkboard to see what was being served.
Take note that soup of the day is called "Sopa de Nabos". WTF is Nabos you say? I had no idea either, although when the owner asked me if wanted the soup, her intonation seemed to say "are you sure?" and I immediately thought "why wouldn't I?"
Okay, so here is the soup with a side of popcorn.
Now, the soup had what I thought were chunks of potatoes, but it turns out that Nabos are turnips, so I think the chunks I was eating were actually turnips. I hated turnips as a kid, but that soup was really good. So, the moral of the story is sometimes it is good not to know what the ingredients are before you eat it.
Let us move to the main course.
All of that was tasty. The yellow looking things are made with corn flour and were crispy. Maybe they have a name. Anyone?
Finally let me show you my beverage.
It was frothy strawberry drink and it was really good. Normally Menus of the day include a free beverage of fruit juice, but apparently at Sophies Orchard a beverage is NOT included. The drink cost 50 cents and was better than your normal free drink, so I am not complaining.
Finally, I was served a small Jello dessert that was kind of a piece of artwork the way it was made. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of it. Dammit.
Anyway, the lunch was $4.50 and the frothy drink was 50 cents for a total of 5.00. Besides the food, the thing I like about this place is there is plenty of elbow room due to the spacing of the tables.
One word of warning is the bathrooms are enclosed with bamboo posts which don't provide much sound insulation. In other words, everyone knows what your business is when in the baños!
