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…
The Word. Brekkie from WORD – sausage, choice of eggs, toast, grilled vegetables, bacon. Brunchly satisfying despite being disarmingly earnest, although you can positively hear the clang of spaluta against Mom’s favourite frying pan ringing from a distance. 3.4/5 WORD Cafe 906 Upper Thomson Road Singapore 787110
The Ultimate (Buttermilk Pancake) from La Ristrettos – salted caramel sauce, bananas, pancetta. Essentially the happy McDonald’s hotcakes you had as a kid but now all grown up, with luscious chestnut locks and donning a sleek café apron. The salted caramel sauce would probably make you reminisce for plastic-boxed butter…
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…
Buttermilk waffle with mixed berries compote and vanilla ice cream from Atlas Coffeehouse. Whilst the mixed berries compote scythes at you with the seductively tarty vengeance of a most coquettish minx, the usually reliable waffle, though internally still proficient, had the wizened, sun-weathered skin of a Punggol-living septuagenarian. 3.5/5 Atlas…
Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Sriracha from Humpback’s Sunday Brunch. The chicken’s performance felt slightly phoned in, but this was inconsequential since the combination of spunky paprika and uncompromisingly unrelenting sriracha dialled up the heat to Fifty Shades of Grey levels. 3.7/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Humpback. Humpback…
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
