Brunch / Cafes 🍳🥞🍝☕️

I’ve been here a couple of times and I’m glad to say that this place never disappoints. I wouldn’t say that their stuff is mind-blowingly good, but they’re all fail-safe brunch staples. Definitely my go-to place for a satisfying brunch in Serangoon. 🥳

🍄🐖🍝 Their Mushroom Bacon Carbonara ($20.9) is reeeeally creamy & comforting. And as usual, I love how they don’t skimp on their ingredients. 👍🏼

🦐🍝 Cereal Prawn Pasta ($21.4): Spicy Aglio Olio with a local twist to it— featuring their “Hawker-style Cereal Butter Prawn”.

This plate of pasta had the perfect flavour mashup, nailing the sweet and savoury balance. They’re pretty generous with their ingredients as well & everything was well-coated with the aromatic blend of garlic, chilli, butter and cereal — truly an explosion of flavours.💥

🍝 Their Truffle Bacon Mushroom Farfelle ($17) was hearty and comforting. I loved the texture of the Farfelle and they’re really generous with their ingredients! 👍🏼
🍖 The Honey BBQ Babyback Ribs ($22) was great too! Fall-off-the-bone: CHECK✔️ Fork-tender: CHECK✔️ Well-seasoned: CHECK✔️
Thanks to Burpple Beyond, we paid 22 NETT in total for two mains. 🤩 So. Worth. It.
I’ll definitely come back to try the other mains! 🤗

🥗 It looks unassuming, but for its price point, I would say that it was a fairly satisfying bowl.
I had a Half Fusilli Pasta, Half Salad base with Smoked Salmon, Baby Spinach, Wakame, Egg Mayonnaise, Avocado, Tobiko and Spicy Mayonnaise — all for $12.

$27 for The Breakfast Works. Not worth it if you do not have Burpple Beyond (1-for-1).
❤️ Loved the buttery toasted Brioche and the creamy texture of the scrambled eggs.
💔 Bacon was overcooked and a tad too salty (and dry) for my liking.
🤣 There was only ONE slice of “smoked” salmon (inverted commas cos TBH it just tasted like stale sashimi). For $27, I would definitely expect more, but since I was using Burpple Beyond, I have no complains!
☕️ Coffee was amazing! We had a hot Mocha ($5.50) and a hot Vanilla Latte ($5.50). Full-bodied. Smooth. Loved it. 💯
I would definitely come back here for a satisfying cuppa, but for the food... I guess there’s still some room for improvement!

🐷🍐I did not foresee myself enjoying the Pork & Pear Tartine ($20.9). I mean... bacon & pear?? Sounds like a hella odd combination 😧 BUT I was pleasantly surprised by how well each of the ingredients complemented one another. (Though I must add that towards the end, the dish got a little too sweet for my palate)
🐷🍄 I loved the chewy texture of the Farro grains in the Miso Bacon Risotto ($23.50). Paired with fried enoki and bits of Miso Bacon, this dish was hearty and full of character (+ it definitely wasn’t as cloying as most risottos).
💔 Thought their Iced Mocha ($7.5) was rather disappointing. Tasted like an Iced Long Black with a dash of cocoa powder. 😂 Would probably appreciate it if it was less diluted (more milk, less water).
