Botanist

Came back and... still ordered my Corn Fritters ($18) - just can’t seem to run away from the attraction of 🌽! Just sad there isn’t Dark Matter with Bon Soy anymore 😭

Corn Fritters-crunchy, eggs were overcooked, tahini and sauce was good. (Eggs were separated) 3.75/5

The guacamole and hummus were fresh & yummy. However I felt like there were too many flavours going on at once what with the sweet tomato salsa and yuzu vinaigrette sides that didn't really go well with the other components

Visited on an extremely hot day - we really felt like we were in a sauna under the canopy. If the temperature was five degrees cooler everything would have been perfect. These corn fritters were fresh and yummy, though I expected them to be thinner and crispier). I usually love hummus and I didn't like this one at all - it tasted more like mashed beans, and was missing some salt and acidity. That egg was perfectly poached though! I think the dish would have been better balanced with two poached eggs and two corn fritters (instead of three fritters).

Egg Florentine, portobello mushroom, wilted spinach, avocado, poached egg, tomatoes, chive hollandaise, toast.

Corn Fritters, pan fried corn Fritters, sweet tomato salsa, hummus, guacamole, poached egg, baby spinach tossed in yuzu vinaigrette.

The golden crispy corn fritters is sweet and juicy, pairing with the salsa with hint of acidic to balance out the flavor.

I recommend the Corn Fritters from @botanist.sg! This dish includes my favourite avocado, hummus, poached egg with hollandaise sauce, all in one!

Never would I expect myself to love vegetarian dishes, but these corn fritters totally changed my perspective. •
The corn fritters were pan-fried to golden crispy brown, but it was light. The corn still retains its juiciness and bursts sweetness in your mouth. When coated with the oozing poached egg, it changes the complex of the food into something savoury. •
The part where I was skeptical was the hummus. This was my first time trying and I did not quite like it.

Overall, botanist may be on the pricey side due to the quality of food. It is still one of my favourite brunch places to go to.

This is exactly what $60 affords you at The Botanist. This quaint set-up delivers what I would describe as one of the more exceptional brunches in Singapore. The fried brioche in the French Toast dish is on fleek, being superbly crisp. The ice cream and berries just makes the whole dish ideal for the gram. As if that isn't enough to win you over, the slow coked beef cheek with truffle mash was perfectly cooked with the beef being adequately tender for the lazy morning chewed. On top of that, the folks at The Botanist definitely meant it when they said truffle mash. My friends and I cleaned up every dollop of that truffle goodness and no, I'm not exaggerating. Having saved the best for last, the corn-fritters are definitely my favorite. In fact, it's been the only constant that I've had in all my past 5 visits here. It's almost on par with the corn fritters I've had in Melbourne and mind you, that says a lot. All in all, my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this relatively new establishment. Ps- these 3 dishes are enough to fill up 4 average eaters.

Corn fritters, salsa, guac and a too sweet hummus. I think I'm done with the cafés. #foodporn #burpple #botanistsg
