I N V I T E D T A S T I N G
Of all that we were served at today, this wittily-named dish emerged top of my list.
Resting on smashed avocado and bread (sourced from Bread and Hearth), and accessorised with fresh baby spinach and grilled baby tomatoes were a pair of beautifully poached eggs. As though that's not wonderful enough, aromatic dukkah was sprinkled all over. (I'll save you the trouble of googling - "dukkah" is Egyptian of origin and comprises of coarsely-ground hard nuts with cumin and coriander). The slightly chewy triangles of haloumi cheese were a spot-on complement as they added a dash of saltiness to the rest of the milder tasting elements.
Karen, the co-owner of Rise & Grind Coffee Co., shared that this dish is a really popular choice among their regulars, especially the health-conscious ones. Having tried it, I perfectly understand why.
Many thanks @riseandgrindco for your generous hospitality.

P.S. This was my maiden visit to "Rise & Grind Coffee Co.", so I only realised today it is situated in a cosy, standalone "house" detached from the main building of Bukit Timah Plaza. If you plan to visit, do take note. It is next to DBS but from the outside.
