Lantana's Baked Eggs

After so many times, I'm finally hungry enough to order the much raved about baked eggs at Lantana Cafe. If you love eggs and like 'em kinda runny, these are like, the best homestyle baked eggs ever.

Lantana Cafe won Time Out's 'Best New Cafe 2009'. Since then, many have dissed its service and waiting time for food and drinks. The cafe's probably under-eqipped to handle the sudden influx of new customers I suppose. However, all the time when I was there, service was really really prompt. I had no problems with my food or drinks.

But yes, if you're in a rush, don't order the baked eggs. Mine took 25 minutes to arrive. But I expected the wait and I wasn't in a hurry. The second time I ordered baked eggs, it was near the end of breakfast at about 11.28am or so- the baked eggs arrived on my table in 15 minutes. So I've absolutely no issue with waiting time. The baked eggs were done in a tomato-y chipotle sauce. There're little squares of chorizo, little bits of spinach and mushrooms in there. Scooping hot baked eggs away from the cold is the nicest thing ever.

The one thing that I forgot is that superduper light and tasty crème fraîche. Yes, I know what goes into making it. The point is, I finished ALL of it, both times. :(
