One of the new openings that had been mentioned quite a fair bit around social media would be that of Park Side — these folks are located around the Visitor Services Centre at Nassim Gate within the Singapore Botanic Gardens; Park Side is a concept by the folks behind PS Cafe which is a fairly familiar name in the local F&B scene that is known for also operating other concepts such as that as Jypsy and Chopsuey Cafe. Park Side is surrounded around the greenery of Singapore Botanic Gardens; there a mix of indoor and outdoor seating spaces with the latter making up most of the seating within Park Side — the outdoor seating space also being pet-friendly as well. The menu at Park Side comprises of sections dedicated to Brunch, Big Plates, Nibbles, Salads & Pizza, For The Little Ones, Soft Serve Sundaes and Pudding & Cakes.

The Kaya, Bacon & Eggs is an item that is being listed under the Brunch section of the menu — the menu describes the Kaya, Bacon & Eggs to come with elements such as Kaya French toast, fried egg, crispy bacon, Okinawa black sugar caramel. Digging into the French Toast, the toast itself was on the soft side; despite being rather generously portioned, the toast itself was pretty light and fluffy — easy to finish. Kaya is being spread in between the toast that gives it a bit of a sweet touch — the choice of Nonya Kaya does add a hint of Pandan fragrance to the sweetness of the coconut jam. In an attempt to recreate an earthy note of sweetness similar to that of Gula Melaka for a more local touch, the folks at Park Side went with the use of Okinawa black sugar caramel that replicates just that an provided another dimension of sweetness to the dish. To create that sweet-savoury note that makes it work well as a brunch dish, the introduction of crispy bacon adds just the right touch of savouriness to balance against the sweet elements, while clusters of nuts can also be found that gives the dish a little bit of a crunch.
