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…
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…
Roast pepper and chilli frittatas from Birdcage Bistro. Essentially the spicy omelette equivalent of receiving full marks for the MCQ section of a Primary Four science paper. 3.8/5 Birdcage Bistro 312 Old Birdcage Walk #01-12 Singapore 798485
Chicken waffle stack from Monniker – crispy fried chicken with cheddar, nestled between two waffles drizzled with maple syrup, topped with fried egg and served with mesclun and mushroom sauce. The waffle was a sweet, soft and submissively mellow canvas for the juicy chicken, but ultimately the stack was, in…
Club Nasi Lemak from The Tiong Bahru Club Singapura – fragrant coconut rice served with chilli sambal accompanied with 2 pieces of Truck Stop Fried Chicken, seafood otah, sunny-side-up egg with fried anchovies and peanuts on the side. Unlike the travesty that was the Hainanese Chicken Rice Balls, this nasi…
“Ang Moh” Breakfast from Collective Brewers – salad, grilled mushrooms, tomatoes, chicken sausage, bacon, brioche and scrambled eggs. The juicy grilled mushrooms seem to have been partially cross-bred with enoki mushrooms, whilst elsewhere the bacon had a stern crunch, the scrambled eggs had a soft and buttery middle and the…
Espárragos y Gambas a la Plancha from My Little Spanish Place – grilled asparagus and prawns, fried egg and “salsa verde”. Essentially what you get if a European matronly chef decides to marry Chinese tze char and the Western concept of brunch. So simple and basic, yet so satisfying. 3.9/5…
