For Full English Breakfast and Laidback Vibes
Pop in for an intimate brunch sesh in this quaint cafe along Upper Thomson Road. Go full English with their Big Brekkie ($17) that comes with eggs, bacon, chorizo, salad, sauteed mushrooms and avocado with sourdough. For a simple but satisfying meal, we recommend the Gashouse Eggs ($13) that features runny eggs and melted cheese on soft bread with a side of sweet bacon jam on crisp bread crust. Sweet-tooths, opt for the super fluffy Salted Caramel Toast ($15) that converted Burppler Bella Phea’s initially toast-resistant mom into a fan! Pro-tip: Request for the sauce to be served separately to control the sweetness level.

For Solid Coffee and Quality Grub
Perfect for brunch with the girls is this snazzy cafe tucked away in Scotts Square. Share the Angus Beef Burger ($26) with nicely toasted charcoal buns and extra crispy fries or kick the day off on a sweeter note with their Ricotta Pancakes ($18) that pairs well with their sweet and spicy Pepper Agave Latte ($7.50) — think bold coffee sweetened with agave nectar and topped with black pepper for extra kick. Yum.
Chico Loco: 1-for-1 Brekkie (save~$12): Â
For Excellent Avocado Toasts and Spit-Roasted Chicken
The beauty of brunch is that it is an excuse to skip breakfast and go for an earlier, heartier lunch. Come by this buzzy Amoy Street joint and order their flavourful Avocado Toast ($15) that features a whole smashed avocado topped off with sunflower seeds, mint, tahini salsa and feta cheese atop multigrain bread supplied by Burnt Ends Bakery. Burppler Rueann Dass recommends getting the tender Mexican Spit-Roasted Chicken ($9) to share if you’re hereafter 11:30 am. Accompany your chicken with spicy ChicoSlaw ($6) made of cabbage, mango, green papaya and macadamia, Smokey Chipotle BBQ Sauce ($2) and Habanero & Mango Sauce ($2) for maximum pleasure!

Â Get The Works ($20) for a platter of thick juicy grilled bacon with pork sausage, poached eggs, guacamole, sauteed mushrooms and a slice of sourdough to mop it all up. Otherwise, the Salmon Tartine ($17) will do the job, think generous slices of smoked salmon with a cherry tomato salad and sourdough slathered with chive creme fraiche and lemon oil for a zesty punch.
