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 soggy toast sagged under the pressure of its French parents’ eggy demands, the absolute smorgasbord of warm egg and salmon chunks atop the toasts (hidden…
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…

Essentially how French toast would be done if your doting, generous aunt made brekkie – the delicious buttery egginess provides a familiar homemade comfort, whilst the cinnamon apple…
