Breakfast Bites

“Feeling hungry? Have a bigger cup of organic Acai blend with granola and Greek yogurt topped with seasonal fruits, chia seeds, coconut flakes and nuts”

First off, great presentation. You’ll see each ingredient carefully layered and placed within the cup.

I was definitely surprised to see it served in a Bodum-esque glass. I guess that’s one way to measure 350ml to a T. Plus, read the description again and it does actually say cup.

As a fan of açaí bowls, I wouldn’t exactly call this your typical açaí bowl. At $12.90 I was mostly expecting to see more than 10% açaí; it is after all an açaí bowl.

I would re-describe this, in my own words, perhaps something along the lines of “Breakfast cup - granola, peanuts and Greek yoghurt, topped with organic açaí, seasonal fruits, chia seeds and coconut flakes”. That, at least would be more accurate.

I did however find that açaí and Greek yoghurt go really well together. A bit of sweet and sour (or in this case a lot of sour), it’s a great pick-me-up for any time of the day.

Breakfast food is the greatest when eaten not in the morning. Roosevelt's serves all-day breakfast up till 6pm, so hooray to that!

Their Eggs Benedict - a classic breakfast serves the perfect poached egg. Once broken, the yolk gently oozes over the ham and toast, it's so satisfying to watch. The hollandaise sauce was a little on the mild side, but creamy with a hint of lemon. I do wish the ham were prosciutto, but the regular smoked ham did give some texture and a taste of saltiness that blended in well. The English muffin was uniformly toasted and its crispness lasted throughout the meal.

Some mixed greens tossed in a simple light vinaigrette on the side, and you have one yummy breakfast for dunch.
