Fish dekku toast from Brew Maison. Essentially a nostalgia-laden throwback to primary school tuckshop simplicity. Might induce cravings for Hiro chocolate cake, Jack ‘n Jill rollercoaster rings etc. 3.4/5 Brew Maison 383 Bukit Timah Road #01-9B Alocassia Apartments Singapore 259727
Chicken Waffle Tower from Brew Maison. The chunky and surprisingly satisfying chicken patty wouldn’t feel out of place in a Mos burger fratboy house party, but the waffle was moist and had the limp lifelessness of a hollow branch floating down a haunted brook. 3.4/5 Brew Maison 383 Bukit Timah…
Milo french toast from Collective Brewers – thick brioche, dipped in Milo egg wash, served with strawberries and butterscotch syrup. Essentially a fair-skinned bland maiden masquerading as an exotic olive-skinned intercontinental beauty, and your eyes and nose hairs would love this more than your tongue. The coating of milo is…

Crown Breakfast from Crown Bakery & Cafe – Crown Puff Pastry centrepiece with sunny-side up egg, with red wine-braised oxtail, chicken sausage, Canadian back bacon, sautéed mushrooms, baked tomato and a side of mesclun with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette.

Crab Cake Benedict from Roosevelt’s Diner & Bar – crab cake, English muffin, poached egg and garlic mayo. Despite the English muffin being a stubborn little runt and the poached egg being rather devoid of personality in spite of best efforts from the egg yolk and sweet garlic mayo, it…
