Weekday/Weekend Brunch

Pretty sizeable portions and affordable too with Burpple’s one for one discount. Expect a pretty long wait for your food during the weekends though.

Relaxed vibes in an alfresco setting, loved the hummus with minced lamb, pretty interesting options with a Mediterranean twist as compared to the usual brunch fare offered in most cafes

After two not-so-successful attempts at visiting this popular brunch spot along Guillemard Road, I finally got down to trying the mains. Thus I couldn’t avoid the customary order of Brawn & Brains Oven Baked Molten Eggs with a side of Smoked Salmon, Avocado and Melted Cheese ($16.80).

Certainly an eggcellent start to the day! Comforting and a foolproof brunch item, you just can’t go wrong with a generous soft cheesy blanket over runny oozy eggs and smoked salmon added in the mix. What’s more having a good balance of greens with spinach and millennials’ favourite - avocado. Meant to be shared, portion is also substantial and made hearty.

You'd have to wake up early to head to this bakeshop in Serene Centre if you want to try their legendary sourdoughs — they sell out as early as noon on weekdays, and sometimes even earlier on weekends. A once familiar sight at farmer's markets, the husband-wife duo now has a cosy brick-and-mortar space where they churn out whole loaves of sourdough, toasts, sandwiches and excellent coffee — perfect for slow mornings. Our Burpple community loves the house made Nut Butter, Honey and Sea Salt ($3.50) as well as the Sage Cream Cheese and Berry Compote ($4) from the toast menu. Hot pressed sandwiches like the simple but satisfying Kimchee + Cheddar ($7) are only sold on weekdays, while open-faced savoury toasts like the Egg Salad + Dukkah ($5) are available daily. Wash it down with an excellent Hand Brew ($5) or Flat White ($5.50) with beans from Cata Coffee, a small local roaster. Before leaving, select a loaf of excellent sourdough to bring home! Note that flavours differ daily (check their Facebook page).

Definitely one of my favourite cafes! Just look at the generous portion, one of the best lobster rolls I've had at this price point! :)

Probably one of my new favourite brunch spots! :) Pretty creative items on the menu like this spring onion pancake topped with fried chicken. Classics like the scrambled eggs were well executed.

Head over heels in love with Pacamara's new Sticky Date Pancake! The fluffy stacks were spiced and fragrant, salted caramel ice cream was addictive, and ohmyholymama the generous topping of sliced nanas <3 I don't know where the cookie dough went or if there're any dates in this at all; but this worked for me cause that delish more-toffee-than-salted-caramel sauce made everything sticky-date-pudding like.

They call their Salted Caramel Brioche French Toast ($10) 'some of life’s best things on a single platter'. With impeccably fluffy brioche dusted with icing sugar, served with caramelised bananas, strokes of French cream and lashing of rich salted caramel, we couldn't have said it any better. As Tastemaker Shawn Loh puts it, 'it's as if the meal wants to smother me with pleasure'. Their savoury Gashouse Egg with Bacon Jam ($10) is simple, honest, and hearty, but it truly kicks ass. With a runny egg sitting in the middle of a thick slice of brioche toast, it is blanketed in melted cheese and comes with a side of scrumptious bacon jam. Be sure to bring a friend, just so you can try both.

My Top 3 favs. from today's Tastemakers Eatup feast:
3⃣ Torched Salmon (S$20): semi-cooked Atlantic salmon, poached eggs, ebiko roe, asparagus, doubanjiang, croissant ❤️

Loved the crab cake Benedict with the buttery squid ink toast!Great service and pretty exquisite desserts as well

Must say I loved everything I tried! Especially the Aburi broccoli and homemade salted egg sauce atop the sweet potato fries!!
