Brunch Sundays

Sundays ☀️

Croque Madame; the perfect Sunday sandwich with free-flow of mimosa. ($15/2 hours)

Tell me who doesn’t like orange bubbly, to fight off a sweltering Sunday!

Buttery croissant filled with delish scrambled eggs and salmon. Can’t go wrong with it, in taste just gotta eat it fast, or else the croissant will be soggy from the heat of the scrambled eggs. Decently plated, and generous fillings. But for $17.20. I am not quite sure.

But you got to love the laidback, industrial and exposed lighting interiors. Really perfect for those Sundays where dogs barks and humans chatter.

Duck confit, crispy and juicy, on top of a velvety smooth pomme purée (aka mash potatoes). The delightful crisp skin, crackles at every bite, while the duck meat isn't dried out.

Let's talk about their eggs.
Slowed cooked eggs, with aerated truffle, pancetta and toasted brioche toast. This warm, mousse-like mush is not exactly my family's favourite. A mimic of Singapore's soft boiled egg, mildly savoury from the pancetta and heighten by the truffle. But dipping those toast (wished I had more), makes the dish pleasant and delicious to eat. The toast soaked up the brioche toast, giving the soggy-crunchy texture.

Croque Madame. Tiny square of toasted Gruyere cheese, Iberico ham, and fried quail egg, is adorable to eat, and pleasantly yummy to have. Can't fault these little squares, but yet isn't something worthy to shout about.

Salt baked red beets. (Part of the set brunch menu).
Either you love them or don't. The cold beets went well with the ricotta cheese and the sweet raspberry vinaigrette. It does mask slightly the original taste of the beets (for those who know what I am talking about). Definitely very refreshing, and perfect for a sunny Sunday brunch.

Home smoked salmon.
Topped with pickled cucumber, horseradish, buttermilk and Apple gel, this starter place, served first is delightfully refreshing, spiked from the pickled cucumber and Apple gel. It opens up the palate for more food to come, and while every soft, and "mushy", the horseradish, as pretty as it is, gave a good crunch to the bite, and balance in taste, to tone down the otherwise sour notes.

Nothing beat a comforting plate of sandwich of Prosciutto and Brie. The melted cheese and saltiness of the ham is simply beautiful. Great for a hangover, I reckon, although many may think that it's not intense enough. The lightly, peppered tomatoes, and the fresh basil is enough to keep you going.

Breakfast on a Sunday; hearty baked eggs on a skillet of tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes and zucchini. Well-seasoned and guilt-free to start your day right. Great for sharing, as order another plate of country bread to mess and scoop everything up, with the egg yolk running like the lava of a volcano.

Cider never taste this refreshing, and it's rare to find ciders in this flavour (usually it's the boring Apple cider or pear ciders). Brunch with a good bottle of apple, black currants and cranberry cider, makes anyone a happy person.

This sou vide egg benedict is absolutely divine, the yolk run so freely, it's like releasing the whale in "Free Willy". And that hollandaise sauce, simply perfect, and slightly charred on top is genius. It hard to find great hollandaise sauce, which will leave you wanting more, most in Singapore just gave me a oily after taste.

Waffles so crisp, that it is like over toasted bread. The fluffy inside is lacking. And the it does not have that buttery smell, that I yearn for. The bacon is substandard, very amateur cooking. The egg is runny not fluffy, but at least it's well season with salt. Thank goodness for friendly staff and cute simple interior. Especially good natural lighting from the ceiling glass. Charming for a nice conversation, but not enough to come back for seconds.
