Stumpers Cafe is a curious mix of Hotel and Bar and Cafe, and sits in a prime location in Hokitika. By all accounts it is popular with the locals so we decided to give it a whirl. That being said - the other attraction was the garlic loaf on the menu. A loaf it was, as you can see. Sadly - probably for health and safety reasons, it was already on its side when it arrived.
The added little side dish as a nice touch, although I am never sure if the chef wants to give the client the choice of how much garlic butter he wants to spread - or does the chef not trust his own creation / flavoring?!? Either way - some of our dining companions added liberally to the bread - others used what had already pre-melted into the loaf. The bread itself was typical loaf - slightly crusty on the outside and soft and fleshy on the inside. Sadly by the time we got it, the bulk of the heat had already left the loaf a little bit, so the 'extra' garlic butter applied did not melt and soak into the fleshy bread part as one might have hoped. The slices were very uneven cut - giving one a very thick slice that would have been enough for two slices. All in all a pretty average presentation - not helped by arriving on a wooden platter and over a paper napkin. Regular readers know that for this blogger the minimum standard is a porcelain type plate or at least Non-wooden. A wooden platter - you can never be totally sure how clean it is . . . .
