From Early Bird Cafe; the cafe that took over the spot of now-defunct Artistry that is also brought by the same folks behind Revelry — the new spot serves up brunch fare, sweets and pasta alongside milkshakes, specialty coffee (roasted by Allpress Espresso) and tea.

This may be an item that scores a little low on aesthetics with its brown-on-brown nature — a twist on the Southern classic of Chicken and Waffles. Coming with housemade Buttermilk Pancakes, the crepe-thin Buttermilk Pancakes were delightfully crisp and buttery; the only qualm was the slight alkalinity that it carried seemingly from baking soda. That could be easily overcome when one dabs the pancake on the Chili Maple sauce; the maple sauce adding sweetness to provide that classic combination that never fails, while the light hint of spiciness seem to stem from chili flakes which could be distributed albeit more evenly rather than clustered together at a corner of the plate . The chunky fried chicken came with a crispy golden-brown batter; reasonably tender and succulent whilst also served in chunky portions and pretty generous — works great as a item to be shared between two.
