British Breakfast Platter (choice of eggs with chorizo, roasted tomato, streaky bacon, tater tots, sautéed cremini, toast) from The Clueless Goat in Novena. Whilst the toast had the dour stoniness of a condominium showcase pamphlet distributor, the other breakfast elements showcased a Mavis Tutorial Centre-esque earnest industriousness. 3.6/5 The Clueless…
Brussel Sprouts from Fu Lin Bar & Kitchen – bacon, extra virgin oil, chives. Whilst the brussels sprouts played it like crunchy and very Chinese-seasoned kailan, the bacon fell short of feeling like such, coming across more like salted pork that lacked confidence and a sense of humour. 3.7/5 Fu…
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…
White snapper milanese with salmon roe gribiche, brussels sprouts with tamarind and bacon from Kilo. The breaded fish and egg mayo seemed content to be fluffy cushions for the smoky brussels sprouts and the bacon, so scene-stealingly soft, salty and pork-juicy that it probably committed an offence under Section 378…
Full English breakfast with “foot-long” sausage from Claude’s – scrambled eggs, stewed beans, hashbrown, bacon, roasted tomatoes, chunky salsa, warm bread and fresh salad with parsley crumble and truffle butter. Not your typical brunch experience, flavour-wise. The girth of the masculinely spicy, Chinese-esque and well-endowed sausage was ideal for easy…
Sriracha maple bacon, avocado and sourdough toast from Plonk. The bacon was like the wavy-haired nymph at the bar you knew was trouble when you walked in – chewy and an alluring BBQ powder-esque spicy at first, but eventually revealing itself to be insistently sticky and possessive. Elsewhere, the avocado…
Orange Cinnamon French Toast from 20F Specialty Coffeehouse – orange cinnamon, french toast, bacon, mixed berries, maple mascarpone. Wisps of aromatic orange peels lurked within the happily eggy toast, whilst elsewhere the bacon gets a silver star sticker for doing good in crackling crispiness class. 3.8/5 20F Specialty Coffeehouse 20…
Drunken Babe from Non Entrée Desserts – walnut brownie, whisky-infused milk chocolate whip, smoky bacon crisps on chocolate paper, caramel popcorn and raspberry sorbet. The proceedings felt a tad everything and the kitchen sink-esque, and the flavours at play were heavy-handed. The very spank-deserving whip wore its whisky breath with…
