Mango Shibuya Toast from Tuk Tuk Cha. The memorable air-fried golden toast (which I had earlier described as having the delectably crumbling crispiness of a century-embalmed Egyptian mummy) was gloriously buttery and elsewhere, the fleshy mango chunks and thick mango ice cream – easily able to pass off as the actual…
Golden Toast with Thai tea kaya, kaya and condensed milk with Milo dips from Tuk Tuk Cha. The air-fried golden toast has the delectably crumbling crispiness of a century-embalmed Egyptian mummy. Elsewhere, the dips ranged from rather vapid (Thai milk tea) to safe (kaya) to gao epic addictiveness with steep…
Baked blinis from FYR Cycene Ond Drinc – blinis (thin pancake made with yeasted butter) with grilled salmon, egg, Avruga caviar and grated Bottarga. The blini tasted like a interesting, savoury cross between soft dough and butter cake, while elsewhere the roe appeared to have undergone cellular fusion and the…
Bacon & Egg Cup from OMB. One (or two) of these satisfying, greasy bacon goblets, which would explode in your mouth like a cherry bomb of egg love, should sufficiently fulfil your week’s brunch needs. 3.5/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of OMB. OMB (Oh My Bacon) 7 Dunlop…
Pancake Soufflé with Peach from Hoshino Coffee Singapore. Whilst the signature pancake souffle was probably made with magical Angora bunny fur, the peaches were unfortunately a tad Del Monte. 3.7/5 P.S. I had a similar item at a Hoshino Coffee outlet in Tokyo and the peach slices used were fresh,…
Sweetcorn fritters from Super Loco – hot smoked salmon, jalapeño, lime creme, jicama chilli salsa. Essentially carrot cake with added corn kernels, served with a generous portion of cooked salmon and loads of other strong smelling and flavoured friends. 3.8/5 Super Loco 60 Robertson Quay #01-13 The QuaySide Singapore 238252
Acai Super Bowl from Super Loco – mango, blueberries, coconut, quinoa, chia, granola and buckwheat. Sixty-six levels of wow. The acai itself was gorgeously gelato-esque in texture, there was just so friggin’ much going on within the massive bowl – from the crispy burnt rice feels of the quinoa to…
Huevos Benedictos from Super Loco – poached eggs, toasted muffin, pork carnitas, chipotle hollandaise, and pickled onion. The pork carnitas was tasty, spicy and refreshingly not diced pork cubes-esque as similar pork products can be, while the chipotle hollandaise was manageably light. The poached eggs, however, had yolks that can…
The Conquistador from Rise & Grind Coffee Co. – chorizo, poached eggs on toast, truffled leek & mushroom ragout, romesco sauce and arugula. Ignore the emotional blackmail from the conqueror and his (unintentional?) sad-face – he is probably just pouting that you will ruin the visually arresting aesthetic once you dig…
