House Breakfast from Bridge Restaurant & Bar – bratwurst, black forest ham, sauteed mushrooms, cherry vine tomatoes, fork mashed ratte potatoes, toasted brioche, mesclun with truffle honey vinaigrette, and scrambled eggs with added sauteed spinach. Despite what its black-lipsticked, European moodiness may suggest, this was actually a straightforward exercise in…
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…
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…
Avo-ka-dukkah from Rise & Grind Coffee Co. – guacamole, grilled haloumi cheese, dukkah, roasted cherry tomato, baby spinach, greek yogurt and poached eggs on toast, with added bacon. The playfully sour guacamole had a texture so smooth that one could mistake it for a very nutritious face-cream, while the dukkah…
Red velvet pancake from Tolido’s Espresso Nook. Fairly competent, although methinks the pancakes should have used sunblock with a higher SPF and in-built moisturising properties. However, the portion of the yogurt-esque mascarpone cheese is generous enough such that every mouthful of pancake can be suitably slathered with cream, and the fruits…
