Back in 2012, Delicious at MidValley was having this breakfast set from 8am to 11am for MYR9.90++ (service charge: 10%, gov. tax: 6%). Croque Madame - Poached egg stacked on grilled bread and turkey ham with cheese sauce (Cheddar, Gruyere, Parmesan and Mozzarella) served with a drink.
I do not eat poached egg due to the runny yolk but just for this time, I did by mixing the runny yolk with the strong tasting cheese sauce. Ended up very satiated but it tasted fine. I then skipped lunch and only ate a light dinner - that was how satiated I was by this meal.
Taken from wikipedia.org: A croque-monsieur is a hot ham and cheese (typically Emmental or Gruyère) grilled sandwich. It originated in France as a fast-food snack served in cafés and bars. A croque-monsieur served with a fried egg or poached egg on top is known as a croque-madame.

Looks so so good.. I like poached eggs becoz of the runny yolk.. Haha.. Usually I will slurppp all the yolk and then eat the whites after that..
ReplyDeleteCan you eat strong tasting cheese?
DeleteHmm. With egg it is a madame. No egg it is a monsieur. Interesting. Thanks for the sharing. I learn something today.
ReplyDeleteBtw I love poached egg because of the runny yolk.
I also learn this from wiki.
DeleteOoooo...I would love that...very very much! And me too, the yolk must be runny... You're outnumbered. Hehehehehehe!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYa, looks like many people loves runny yolk! :D
Deleteyeah, I read about RealGunner's lazy man croque-monsieur and it actually looks nice!! so you had this croque-madame with you to pair up huh?? interesting, that you remembered you had that two years ago and able to dig out the photos!! for such a long time ago, either I did not take photo or I have already deleted them, haha!! looks good with an egg on top of this French style toastie, and sure a great thing for dinner as this is something wholesome, delicious and satisfying!!! can I tambah a sausage?? and croque-"what??" it will be called?? :p
ReplyDeleteYou mean you don't keep your photos? Hahaha, have to ask the French what they will call your creation. :p
DeleteLOL! Nice! But, the cheese is on top of the egg instead of in between the bread? Then this is not too authentic. The cheese is supposed to be the glue sticking both slices of bread together.
ReplyDeleteBut then, the taste should be the same lah :D
Guess they try to put in their own touches to the madame. :D
DeleteGooey egg.....yes :) Gooey cheese sauce....no thanks :(
ReplyDeleteAh you wouldn't order this then.

DeleteHavent tried this before.... I think I can finish half... :)
ReplyDeleteI was full halfway too but don't want to waste food so stuffed my face in the end.
DeleteI LOVE runny egg yolks and I LOVE strong cheese too! :)
ReplyDeleteI ate a Limburger in Germany that my better half would not touch. I thought it was nice and I wanted her to try it but she only managed a nibble coz she doesn't like all the strong tasting and smelling cheese that I love.|
Oh ya, how come you don't eat runny yolks?
I find them very geli, if you know what I mean. I love hard boiled eggs and fried eggs and scrambled eggs, just not runny yolks.
DeleteWow!! This food photo makes me drool right now and I appreciate such nice food presentations that looked artistic!!
ReplyDeleteYou like food art?
DeleteVery presentable indeed.
ReplyDeleteThey did put in some effort to arrange it.
