Full Breakfast $30 - chose eggs scrambled and sourdough over wholemeal.
They have a full breakfast version for vegetarians as well.
Quite pricey compared to other cafes, not worth the price. A bit dry overall and had to request for additional sauces. Unique rectangular hashbrown that had many crispy edges because it was shredded and fried into a thick block.
All ingredients came in nice chunky portions, tomatoes and mushrooms smooth and juicy.
poached organic egg, oyster & maitake mushrooms, red onions pickle & togarashi
Instead of the usual smoked salmon, the Eggs Benedict version here is heavier as it comprised of braised ox cheeks served on a crusty sourdough bread and topped with two organic poached eggs that were drenched in hollandaise sauce. The braised ox cheeks were fork tender as the meat pulls off without much effort and very well-seasoned that it was packed full of flavour and wasn't gamey.
Not your standard chai latte - the spices were strong in this one, would recommend for those who find the typical western chai lattes too milky or spices muted, because this cuppa was a kick of spices and aromas. I enjoyed it, it was a perfect wake-me-up (but without caffeine) to a slow morning for me.
Visited on a Saturday morning and the place was quite busy and bustling, fortunately we managed to get a seat for two. Service was standard and they served our drinks pretty quickly which was much appreciated!
tender braised ox cheeks, two poached organic eggs & chive hollandaise with artisanal sourdough
This was the dish I fell in love with back in the old days when CMCR was new. It’s now sadly a far cry from what it used to be. The kale and broccolini were limp and the portion has reduced. Certainly not worth the price.
tender braised ox cheeks with two poached eggs on top a sourdough!! eggs were not that runny. ox cheeks were tender tho didn’t have much of a taste. the hollandaise sauce was good.

The Nitro Honey Oat Latte was very smooth and fragrant, great for those with a sweet tooth. Yet its sweetness was not overbearing. Although I would say the price is pretty steep for the drink, it is definitely worth a try if you’re a fan of sweeter and milky types of cold brews.
Best to come a little bit earlier as the cafe is pretty popular, we visited on a Sunday morning and it was quite busy!
A simple croissant sandwich done right - provolone cheese, ham, mustard & bechamel sauce was a wonderful combination with the crispy, buttery croissant. A safe and solid pick. However, it may not be very filling if you’re a slightly bigger eater than the average person.

I thought the phyllo-wrapped soft-boiled organic egg was really delicious and quite unique. Its sweetness paired pleasantly with the saltiness from the accompanying crispy feta. The hummus and pita bread was not bad as well. Worth a try if you’re looking for something a little different than the standard cafe breakfast.

A full breakfast meaning you should expecting a full portion. Coming with two free-range organic eggs that you could choose the cooking style, bacon, pork sausage, herbed roma tomato, vegetable rosti, portobello mushroom, house-made chorizo baked beans and your choice of bread; which I gotten the gluten-free toast.
I was really full after the meal but do enjoyed them.
A masala chai with mixture of aromatic herbs and spices, a perfect cup for the day especially to those who don’t want coffee.
Berries compote, creme fraiche, maple syrup & vanilla ice cream.
French toast itself was slightly dry in some parts and too salty in others as the butter was unevenly spread. I prefer my french toast to be more eggy. Berries compote and vanilla ice cream went well with the french toast. Didn’t care much for the creme fraiche - it was slightly heavy and didn’t add much (except calories) taste wise.
Expensive french toast that was just okay.
