I’ve never been the type to pick the seafood option but this ‘𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐚’ 𝐌𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐰𝐥 ($𝟐𝟑) has me reconsidering everything 😳. With roasted cod loin, shredded crab meat, and incredibly plump and tender Japanese scallops, this bowl screamed fresh, clean and delicious. The amount of pickled vegetables initially seemed excessive, since the fish wasn’t very oily, but the sour-savory tang somehow did wonders to balance out and brighten the dish. The rice itself was also soaked in flavour, the harder grains lending a bite to contrast the soft seafood. If I were to be picky, the cod was a tad bit overcooked, but it really didn’t take much away from the overall delectable dish.

The 𝐏𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐲 & 𝐄𝐠𝐠𝐬 ($𝟐𝟎) showed us how scrambled eggs should be done, with perfectly silky folds encasing a rich and creamy egg flavour. The eggs are paired with slow cooked pulled pork that had a deep flavour and a tinge of sweetness, along with a sausage that held an intense spice flavour. Surprisingly, the toast remained crispy even while sitting under the eggs, and was in itself really delicious with a nutty sweet edge.

Overall, I really enjoyed the food, and I think that Populus is worthy option for good cafe brunches in sg, and it’s definitely worth the trip
