Brunch at Symmetry

2nd Jun 20193rd Jun 2019 / sundaybrunch / 1 Comment

Theme: Australian Cafe

Ambience:

A laid back Aussie cafe nestled in Bugis area, with a rustic theme and funky pop art accents. It has more of a bar feel than a cafe.

The place is small, which makes it more crowded. It is quite popular and busy. Be sure to book early if you don’t like waiting. It will take you about 15 minutes to be seated.

Food:

(what we have)

Lamb Shakshouka S$27

Lamb neck confit, baked eggs, spiced minced lamb & roasted peppers stew, feta cheese and croissant

Taste authentic, well seasoned and just the right portion.

Mushroom, Bacon & Egg Toastie S$22

Scrambled eggs, mushrooms, maple-glazed bacon, cheddar and sour dough

A bit overpriced for simple toast. The bacon is nice though. Took a while to serve.

Episode 5

Theme: Gourmet Grocery

Ambience:

Sunday brunch at Jones the Grocer felt like we were in a middle of a farmer’s market. We were surrounded by shelves of organic pasta, bread, chocolates, wine and cheese. You can smell the aroma of coffee and freshly baked bread.

This cafe is busy but it didn’t take us long to be seated. The place is simple, open concept and very lively. It is family and pet friendly.

Wildseed Cafe, A Newly Open Cafe in Singapore! (2019)

21st Apr 20192nd Jun 2019 / sundaybrunch / 1 Comment

Sunday Brunch @ Wildseed Cafe, Alkaff Mansion

Episode 4

Theme: Floral Cafe

Ambience:

Today (April 21, 2019) is the opening of the second branch of Wildseed cafe, we are intrigued and excited in our visit!

Wildseed cafe is situated in a 100 year old Alkaff Mansion in outskirts of Singapore. This colonial house is formerly owned by a Middle-Eastern family back in the 1900s as a weekend house. During world war II the house was abandoned and the Japanese took over. In 1970-1980 it became Buddhist Society Headquarter. In 2004 the Singapore government took the property. It is presently run by a private company operating chains of bars and cafes around Singapore.

They preserve the shelter of the mansion and only renovated the interior part. It is elegantly designed with sophisticated furniture and decors. The place is comfortable, spacious and airy.
