There's too many variants of waffles we had seen everywhere; ice-cream waffles, fried chicken waffles and even chocolate waffles, but 23Jumpin does a variant that is refreshing in the scene. Combining waffles and pizza, the Pizza Waffles comes in two flavours currently; Mushroom & Cheese and a Hawaiian. Sitting atop a crisp and moist waffle that's full of buttery aroma, you could actually taste the batter even though it comes with a generous portion of cheese for both flavours. Mushroom & Cheese was creamy and earthy; pretty rich and should appeal to those who love their mushrooms. My personal favourite was the Hawaiian which comes with tomato sauce spread, topped with ham and pineapples. The juicy cubes of pineapple does the trick with its zestiness which gives the Pizza Waffle a refreshing flavour boost. Fancy both flavours? You can order a Yuan Yang where you get to have both just like how I did. Thanks to owner Gary who invited me down to try out their newest creation served on their menu.

With their flagship stall located in the depths of Pasarbella at Turf City, Dutch Colony has kindly opened up in the East for all east-siders to enjoy. Besides serving consistent, great coffee, this Frankel Ave branch also has an exciting menu of Coffee Lab workshops. These include classes focused on barista appreciation, latte art, coffee degustation and food pairings. You'll want to head down to this absolutely stunning spot for a cuppa and some breakfst, east-siders rejoice!

comparable to the real deal In taiwan! my favourites are the mee sua, dou jiang and crispy bread | ★★★★★

Best breakfast I've ever had! The brioche bread is fluffy and lightly toasted/eggs are thick and delicious/ bacon & sausage both pack lots of flavor/potatoes are soft, hot, and slightly, pleasantly salty/baked beans are also soft, and very tangy. 5 star brekkie! Highly recommended!

This is vegetarian dialed up to the max! On the serving board is larger-than-life flavours of fried eggplant and cauliflower, homemade hummus, labneh (yogurt cheese), truffled tahini and torn-up pita bread, all tossed together with an Israeli salad and spiced up with a dash of zhoug (a green chilli pepper relish). Adding a finishing touch is the gooey-centred smoked egg. Order this to share if you want to leave room for side dishes (I always get the yummy haloumi cheese) or desserts.

If you haven't tried the Darling's Eggs here, please do yourself a favour and hop on down when you have time. Named after the couple whose cafe in Melbourne the owner of The Plain (and also Ronin) use to work at, the Darling's Eggs is simply very well executed poached eggs on sourdough toast. The sliced sweet tomatoes, melted cheese and ham give this open-faced sandwich wonderful flavours. Pictured above is the half portion which, unless I am starving, is usually enough for me.
Since I am a sucker for avocado, once in a while I'll also cough up $3 more to add some on.

How many times have you ordered a big breakfast at a cafe and ended up not liking every single item on the plate? Exactly. We've all been there, haven't we?
To allow for complete customisation and therefore, higher customer satisfaction, the smart folks at The Lokal designed a section in their menu entitled "Pimp My Breakfast" that lets you choose from 14 different items (eggs done in assorted styles, smoked salmon, smoked mackerel, dry-cured bacon, sausages, homemade ricotta, avocado, chunky fries etc), as well as 3 types of bread and 4 types of spreads.
On my first visit, I pimped my breakfast with fried eggs, sautéed mushroom, wilted spinach and sourdough toast. All this came to slightly less than sixteen bucks. I found the toast to be a bit hard but otherwise, I was more than satisfied with the quality and taste of the food.
If you're in a group, it's kind of cool to order numerous items to share since they offer such a large variety.

At first, I had thought this was a Carrot Cake after misreading the description on the display card. However, the cafe's baker who happened to be standing close by, politely corrected me, and said the magic words, "No, it's a Banana Cake". In an instant, I was all over that display stand like a rabid monkey. Ordered one and without hesitation, burrowed into its dense, moist, banana-rich cakeness. Keeping it extra interesting were small pineapple chunks, a dash of cinnamon and loads of voluptuous cream cheese frosting. I truly enjoyed this, especially since I know for a fact that it is baked in-house.

Back here (yes, again) for their fail-safe creamy and silky smooth scrambled eggs. I am glad to hear that this is staying on the menu even as the chef introduces new items this August. Whew!

PS. Look out for the "Kaya French Toast with Coconut Ice-cream" launching this Saturday (2nd August). It seems that there's a special "Chendol" drink made with "gula melaka" and RUM to go with it. I don't know about you but I'm getting excited already! 😄

A portobello burger to die for. Never had such a good brioche bun in a burger before, and this combination of portobello, cheese, egg and bacon is brilliant. Only available on weekends!

There's new brunch items on the menu and that's one of the many reasons I'm back here.
Egg-in-the-hole is a must have and I wanna try the hazelnut waffle next time. Happy Sunday Folks!
