The Newsroom Cafe, Toowong

Tuesday of last week I found myself hungry and in Toowong.  I decided to get some eggs Benedict from the Newsroom Cafe.  I had only had eggs Benedict once before and it was from the Newsroom Cafe, which I enjoyed very much.  As a result of this I held high hopes.  I ordered my eggs Benedict, and, as previously stated was quite hungry so I wanted something else:  something sweet.  Unfortunately, the Newsroom Cafe did not have any cakes, which is something I would have wanted.  I don't know if they never offer cakes or if they just did not happen to have any at the time I was there.  However, I settled for a melting moment (more on that later).  My only concern about the eggs Benedict was that the menu said they were served with spinach.  I don't recall spinach being present the first time I sampled eggs Benedict and I was conjouring up images of soggy spinach souring my meal.  However, my fears came to nothing when the meal arrived as the spinach took the form of some fresh baby spinach leaves.  They were used sparingly and were really little more than a garnish.  As for the crux of the dish, it was all great.  Poached eggs on toast with bacon would be a satisfying meal on its own.  However, the presence of Hollandaise sauce truly made the meal.  There's really not much I can say other than there was great synergy in the dish.  All the elements complimented each other really well and it was a delight to eat.  The only thing I noticed that could be considered a deficiency is that it is my understanding that one of the key ingredients in Hollandaise sauce.  This Hollandaise sauce almost certainly did contain lemon juice, but for some reason I have the notion that Hollandaise sauce should be tangier, but this wasn't really relevant to my enjoyment of the meal  So while this was a very pleasant experience, I am somewhat curious.  Are the cooks at the Newsroom Cafe masters of eggs Benedict?  Or is eggs Benedict an inherently good meal, that any half-decent cafe can whip up?  I guess I'm going to have to sample eggs Benedict from at least a couple more cafes to find out.  Onto the melting moment.  The positives:  It was free from lemon juice, or worse yet, passion fruit, both of which can detract from the joy that should be a melting moment.  The negatives:  Although it contained the proper ingredients, it was merely an adequate melting moment.  I've certainly had better at various cafes around Brisbane.  However, even an adequate melting moment is a fine way to finish off a gratifying meal.
