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…
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…
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
Big Plate – two scrambled eggs, brioche toast, bacon, mushrooms and bratwurst. The toast was fluffy but rather burnt, the eggs nicely buttery and the mushrooms happily moist. I was undecided about the bacon – it may not have been my preferred crispy type, but it was ultimately competently fatty,…
Salmon Scramble – smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, salmon roe, toasted multigrain bread. Who knew dry multigrain bread could taste so good when toasted to a crisp? The eggs were nicely fluffy and the salmon elements enjoyably salty, but the serving size could probably feed one quarter of a boy undergoing…
Toasted brioche with chopped liver. Essentially murdered chicken meets whipped cream (with egg, in manner of salt rub to wound). You wonder how many poor cluckers were required to produce this much liver goodness. 3.75/5 [Tasting courtesy of Sacha & Sons.] Sacha & Sons 333A Orchard Road #03-02 Mandarin Gallery…
Otak Egg – Muar Otak and egg sunny side up on thick toast. The Otak and bread have intertwined body and soul, but the egg seems to be the third party playing mistress. Otak was delightfully spicy! 3.75/5 Le Halo 4 Jalan Bukit Ho Swee #01-162 Singapore 162004
