Brunchy-Munchy

Very nice and relaxing environment to have a chill brunch with your friends. I believe the Avocado & Dukkah is one of the hot selling toasts but I had Scrambled Egg with Smoked Tomatoes! The toast had a chewy texture that went well with the warmly served scrambled eggs. I should have paired it along with a cuppa hot coffee though!

Finally tried The Glasshouse after hearing lots about their artisanal toasts and coffee, and we're glad to say that we were not disappointed at all. In fact, we loved the toasts combinations!😻 The 'Classic Salmon'🐟 was well balanced in terms of flavour, with the radish and pickled shallots adding a nice crunch to the dish. The 'Banana Pecan Miso Butter'🍌 was a great sweet treat as well, with the coconut mousse adding so much creaminess and flavour to the dish.🥥 We couldn't pick a fav between the two as they were both too good so we definitely recommend to get both!😬 The coffee was smooth and good too, especially with its beautiful latte art! The menu at The Glasshouse may seem limited at first glance, but they did it so well that we'll definitely be heading back again👍

Rolled in freshly-made soft crepes, I was smitten by how warm, sweet & comforting the fig jam was🥰 I did find the camembert quite meager but nevermind that, I’d totally re-order for the jam!! Couldn’t get enough of it.

The ricotta tart on the other hand was unfortunately dry & crumbly. Come for the crepe!

Reached to find a queue system infront of the cafe - just leave your name, pax no. and number. Took a couple of photos for my friend and we were seated already. Pretty quick 🙂 Noticed that the queue was endless - we were there from 12pm-1:45pm and there was always a crowd.

1. Shishito chili chicken - south asian spice with yogurt dip; mild heat on delightfully marinated chicken drumsticks. Bread has a nice crust with strong garlic flavor.

2. Lemon curd pancakes (brunch dish) - it’s an alright breakfast, nothing special. Blueberries were sweet though!

3. Chorizo and octopus risotto - my FAV dish! It brings you to the sea, then takes you right back to land... 😂 a pity that the octopus legs were overcooked but the rice was overflowing with flavors. Looooved the rich seafood stock. Egg sitting on the dish was perfect too 🙂

We ordered 3 iced coffees. Total bill for 3 pax was $26 each!

This was a bit pricey for basically avocado toast but very very good. The roasted cherry tomatoes are so tasty and smashed avo is well seasoned. Portion is generous as well.

Bagels accompanied by Meat Platter that comprises of Pastrami, Corned Beef and Roast Beef; and Fish/ Dips Platter of Smoked Trout Dip, Smoked Salmon Dip and Smoked Salmon.

Recommended this cafe to his friends for the 2D/3D latte art. (Top): Terry's Roasted Pork Roulade & eggs (S$16). Tasted pretty normal, baby gave a 6/10 rating. (Left): Baby had Ultimate Swiss Rosti (S$18). Love the rosti with mushrooms and walnut sauce, but it's kinda small. Chicken cheese sausages was not too bad, but the scrambled eggs' a little over-cooked. (Bottom): I had omelette with cheese, ham and mushrooms (S$12). The omelette is over-cooked, I would have preferred a more runny texture. They could also have been more generous with the ingredients.

My picks are the Trio of Pork Ragout Pasta, Mozzarella-Stuffed Potato Rosti, and Full Melba Breakfast. A tad pity that we were too full to share one of their wood-fired pizzas, though.

What would warrant a second trip back was the restaurant's spacious and relaxed atmosphere with an industrial edge – great for couples and a big group to catch up over brunch, dinner or after-work drinks. The kid-friendly environment also makes it fuss-free for families to dine out together during the weekend.

Quite pleased with what I ordered, although I wish the prices weren't this steep for a casual eatery. I also wish this weren't on the other side of Singapore - but oh well.

Service what mediocre & some might even call it appalling - who serves your dish without even looking at you but in fact, with his back turned to you (ie looking away from you, not even at his own hands)? But I let that slide.

Unfortunately sat at a table where the air-conditioning was blowing fiercely at - so the food became cold quickly. Nonetheless, they were still delicious.

Wagyu Beef & Mushroom Pizza 🍕 ($23++) was decadent with the beef being tender & mushrooms juicy. I especially liked the white sauce on it, as I usually do.

Spicy Tom Yum Spaghetti 🍝 ($25++) was actually not spicy at all. But it did deliver on the creamy promise (in the menu's description). The prawns were fresh but the clams could've been better. I didn't see the point of the arugula.

3 munchies: It was a pity that the beautiful slab of Atlantic salmon was slightly over-torched, resulting in some parts of the fish rubbery and fully-cooked. While the large eggs were nicely poached, the savoury doubanjiang (豆瓣酱; fermented bean paste) hollandaise and ebiko roe on the salmon and croissant were a tad heavy and salty for my liking.

This was a hosted meal by The Tuckshop.
