Academïcs Pancake Tower from The Coffee Academïcs Singapore – layered pancakes topped with mixed berries and blueberry coulis, served with berry sorbet and whipped cream. The enormously-filling and portentously looming structure had the heat-trapping cottony fluffiness of an ungroomed Pomeranian, whilst elsewhere the jammy berry sorbet had a Joo Chiat-esque…
Cinnamon French Toast from Flutes Restaurant – peanut butter, honey, cookies and cream ice cream. The easy-to-cut toast had the warm, comforting fluffiness of a loyal ungroomed Chow Chow, whilst elsewhere little flourishes such as salt on the banana slices provided tasteful surprises and the bewitchingly addictive peanut butter and…
Full English Breakfast from Flutes Restaurant – fried hen’s egg, smoked bacon, housemade baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, toasted sourdough. The glistening meat rod played it like a really socialite and Greenwood Avenue-resident Sausage McMuffin patty whilst elsewhere the beans kept things Zumba tight and the salty bacon provided a crisp…
Savoury waffles from 20F Specialty Coffeehouse – buttermilk waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, rocket, maple syrup. Whilst the soft eggs were bountiful in supply and the bacon strips as crisp as an SG50 limited edition dollar bill, the waffles had the dour disposition of a disillusioned and resigned roadside cobbler. 3.1/5…
Salmon soba noodles from Atlas Coffeehouse – glazed salmon, soba noodles, marinated shimeji, fried egg. Whilst the sour, vinegary noodles played it nice and cool, the salty glazed salmon possessed a Hermione Granger class participation-esque enthusiasm to gain favour with flavour. 3.6/5 Atlas Coffeehouse 6 Duke’s Road Singapore 268886
Brussels sprouts with chipotle, egg and raisin from Humpback’s spanking new Sunday Brunch menu. Essentially a valentine to everybody’s favourite fartogenic vegetable, with the oil-plump brussels sprouts having a most exemplary bitter crunchiness and some blessed pieces possessing bits of delightfully charred, crisp and paper-thin skin that go crack upon…
Sea-ly eggs from Gastrosmiths – smoked salmon, pickled nori, chilli oil. Essentially soft slices of smoked salmon soaking lazily in kopitiam-esque soft boiled egg. Elsewhere, the chilli oil would cheekily engage you in a game of Where’s Wally. 3.7/5 Gastrosmiths 103 Beach Road Tan Quee Lan Street Singapore 189704
Violet’s Big Breakfast from Violet Oon Singapore – otak otak, turmeric chicken wing, sambal egg, nasi kuning, and a side of tangy ikan bilis and peanut sambal. Whilst the otak was nicely meaty, the scrambled egg was gloriously fluffy and soft within its seemingly omelette-esque skin and the different sambals…
Otak Toast from Violet Oon Singapore. While the stubborn baguette-esque toast had the moisture of a Thirsty Hippo-guarded closet, the opulent and corpulent otak slab – none of that minced nonsense, you can clearly see fish when you observe the otak’s cross-section – had a remarkably chicken-like tenderness. 3.8/5 Violet…
