Cafe Rouge / Steamed egg with minced pork

Had lunch at another franchise restaurant, Cafe Rouge, a French restaurant. You can see it in most cities in the UK. L, you are probably sniffing or snorting, being the food snob you are but yes, in a way, you are right this time. I have had meals at this restaurant many many times, in Nottingham, London, Strathford upon avon but tt wasn't that good this time perhaps because of our selections. I had French onion soup, it was strangely thick, I don't recall onion soup being thick. It tasted alright at the beginning but as I drank more of it, I realised that it was too salty. I should cook onion soup. M's potato, leek and spinach soup was fine though. Note to one self, try using spinach, the next time you make potato and leek soup. My main was thankfully alright. Salmon fish cakes and chips. Nothing spectacular. M's bacon, onion and mushroom tart looked absolutely disgusting. It was brown and black. I don't think its actually burnt but it just doesn't look that appetising. It tasted alright though. However, when food doesn't look that good, M doesn't eat it. Its as simple as that.

"My hair is drinking the soup!"

So its porridge day. I realised I have never taken a photo of my porridge despite us eating it on a regular basis so you can see it today. Oh, M is finally sick of it so we are having noodles every week from now on, with the chicken stock. Woohoo! I definitely prefer noodles to porridge. Had steamed egg with minced pork with it. Its a dish that I have eaten all my life with porridge as well. My mom has been cooking this ever since I was born.
