Bearded Bella (Tanjong Pagar)

It was a truly indulgent breakfast with umami from the beef and egg and sweetness from the maple syrup.

The name of this dish says it all - It’s Epic! The maple bacon goes so well with the confit portobello and sweet potato rosti. Choose between sunny side up, poached or scrambled for the egg.

seared canadian scallops, capellini pasta & chuka wakame marinated with truffle oil & yuzu ponzu

This is made using 70% dark chocolate ganache.
.
With a soft yet dense feel that's so satisfying, and coated with a shiny chocolate glaze, the moist cake holds deep chocolatey bitter sweet flavour.
.
Rich and comforting, I crave more of this.

This was delicious, largely thanks to the base which featured a generous portion of twirled capellini pasta noodles (or angel hair pasta noodles), served chilled.
.
Dressed with crunchy black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds, which lends a mild nutty aroma.
.
The pasta picks up the truffle oil with yuzu ponzu sauce, resonating with deep earthy sweet savoury salty flavour, contrasted by the crisp red radish and wispy chuka wakame / sesame marinated seaweed, with vegetal earthy nutty sweet flavour.
.
Was unfortunate that the generous garnish of wispy alfalfa sprouts held sharp vegetal bitter herbal flavour, and the thin sliced bouncy seared Canadian scallops were overly seasoned and salty. The pasta though, was fantastic.

Reminds me of the healthy brunch dishes I had in Melbourne.
.
This vegetarian dish is a large salad, with a base of tender mushrooms (beech, straw, king oyster), topped with a crisp potato rosti.
.
Garnished with a generous portion of crisp rocket leaves / arugula, and a soft poached free range egg (whose yolk was unfortunately semi-cooked) seasoned with paprika.
.
With bright vegetal earthy bitter herbal starchy eggy sweet savoury spice flavour, this was so wholesome yet tasty.
.
1st meal of 2022, starting right.
