I ordered delivery from a local service in Hoi An after my wife saw that they had Eggs Benedict, My wife LOVES Eggs Benedict and takes delight in comparing everyone's hollandaise sauce to mine.
Full disclosure, I studied under a master chef for two years with a focus on French cuisine and my hollandaise is considered by many to be the best, I use proper technique and I make it with duck eggs.
When we opened the packages from 9 grains (I had cooked my own meal so what they sent was just for my wife) we thought there had been an error in the order as there was more than enough food for two people, the portion was large enough that I re-checked the order to make sure we had not somehow doubled it, but they had not.
The Bacon was perfectly crisp and salty, taken to that perfect mahogany shade just before burning when the saltiness and crunch are perfect with no bitter tones and the fat has rendered almost completely.
The eggs were poached for the perfect amount of time, they were hot in the center but runny and unctuous, and the foil on which the eggs and bacon were perched was an amazingly well made whole grain bread, toasted to the point of being resistant to the sauce so it would not get soggy, but not over done.
The most Shocking thing about the dish was the Hollandaise... In most cases, people rush the sauce and it breaks, or they make it too far in advance of plating and it coagulates, or they over heat it and make a terrible mess of scrambled eggs or they skimp on the egg yolks and it is too runny.. there are a million ways to make a Hollandaise wrong but this bakery... I am amazed to say made the most rich, velvety, smooth, creamy, beautiful Hollandaise that I have ever seen outside of my own kitchen.
This was so well prepared, that i took the breakfast I had made for myself, put it in the fridge and tucked in to...
