Continuing our yoga adventures in the city we ate breakfast last week at Pei Modern after hearing it won New Restaurant of the Year in 2012 - how the judges would pick the winner in a town like Melbourne boggles the mind.
We totally bought into the hype and kind of got let down.

| Poached eggs with sardines on marinaded capsicum. |
The sardines were kind of sad and limp and the bread, although toasted, wasn't warm. The whole dish could fit into my palm, really.

| Poached egg with smoked salmon and potato rosti. |
1405's egg wasn't very impressively poached, and again wasn't warm enough. Maybe it was just an off morning. To be fair, breakfast definitely wasn't its focus (I think we saw a total of 3.5 other patrons from 7.15am to 8.30am). The location is very convenient and means we can attend in a suit after work and not feel like tools. Based on the glowing reviews from our friends, we may be back to try dinner.
