The cheapest don on the menu yet one of the most satisfying? Visited on a Monday so the sashimi wasn't the freshest (but still good!!). Definitely the most value for money chirashi dons around town. Just be prepared to wait 30-45mins for a seat.
In case you are wondering, halloumi is actually an unripened brined cheese made form a mixture of goat and sheep's milk. Every element in this kaleidoscopic brunch platter was a satisfaction to my palate (apart from the tomatoes of course 😅). The grilled halloumi had a slightly crisp chargrilled exterior with a firm, rubbery interior and a piquant flavour that's rather similar to a thick feta cheese. Moving on, the scrambled eggs were done to perfection- creamy and smooth, silky texture with a milky, eggy fragrance! 💖 The fried kale chips were crisp and seaweed-like, adding a tinge of saltiness to the platter and was surprisingly additive and great 👍🏻 The mini crossaint was toasted to a crisp, flaky exterior coupled with a pillowy interior that withheld a lingering buttery fragrance. In addition, the roasted mini portobellos were well sautéed with a distinctive earthy note coupled with a chewy, juicy texture. Lastly, the pomme noisettes (deep fried potatoes) were crisp with a soft, creamy mash interior that was also an addiction - wish there was more of it! 😋 A fulfilling and satisfying brunch that was worth every $ spent and every calorie intake, coupled with a welcoming, friendly service from the crews here that made my trip worthwhile☺️ .

Half boiled eggs made just the way it should be. Runny on the inside but cooked enough that it wouldn't break when I opened it. The owner puts the right amount of butter and kaya spread giving the toast the perfect harmony of sweetness and butter cream. Must try.

The clever lads of Stranger's Reunion have made their best-selling buttermilk waffles the main act at Waffle Slayer just next door. Serving up flavour combinations of all kinds, get adventurous with the squid ink or matcha waffles. If you'd rather stick to the plain buttermilk, go for the chicken shnitzel with kaffir lime mayo. While they are pretty pricey, the combinations are worth a try! Photo by Charlene Tan
