Sorry to say but the sweet chorizo with burnt onions on a bed of arugula did not suit my taste. Topped with fried egg in a squid ink (really black!) bun smeared with pepperoncini cream cheese, I failed to appreciate the novelty of the plated gourmet sandwich.
Many raved about it. But I guess chorizo sandwich is NOT the chorizo burger I've been dreaming about. Epic fail. I expected way too much. And assumed wrongly.
I must say they do their eggs really well. Fried or scrambled, t'was done well. Our other order of Pork & Beans was er...... ordinary, and way too sweet. Another. Fail.
The parmesan fries are not bad. But I was disappointed Your Local doesn't serve coffee. I didn't know there's a secret passage to the adjoining coffee shop. The wait staff didn't say. We found that out when we did step out, found the coffee place and seated ourselves right by the secret door!
Wish we ended our disappointing lunch with a lemon square and a cup of good brew in Yardstick beside Your Local. But today is NOT our lucky day. Lemon square was dry; coffee served not too hot that by the time the sugar and steamed milk were served, the black liquid has turned lukewarm.
I know. It's NOT fair to pass judgement with one visit. I need to head back. Perhaps order stuff other than the pricey (was it the truffled ketchup?) chorizo sandwich. But hey, maybe it's just me :-( Besides, I hear the beef rendang sliders are really good.
