黑 Rice (squid ink rice, garlic, mentaiko mayo, sous vide egg and PH fried chicken) from Paddy Hills. The earnest chicken couldn’t help but be completely overshadowed by the greasy, comforting and scrumptious rice, which possessed the delectable smokiness of a Simon Road kopitiam wok. 3.9/5 ⠀ This was a…
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…
Truffle soba from Two Bakers. The soba was made appealingly salty and fragrant by the sauce and seasoning with the truffle being as light as a mynah’s roadside abandoned feather with its touch, never being too heavy-handed with its usually militant agenda. Elsewhere, the succulent portobello mushroom squirted its juices…
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…
Spicy Chasiu Ramen from The Horse’s Mouth – chasiu with spicy marinade, chilli oil, leek, spring onion, egg. The ramen felt like the love child of Mee Kia and Myojo, while elsewhere the charsiew had notably slurpworthy skin and the broth possessing suitably gentle flames to excite a weary mouth.…
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…
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…
Norwegian Royale from The Reading Room – smoked salmon, French-style scrambled eggs (no milk added), French butter and arugula on two French toasts. 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…
