Homeground Coffee Roasters

From now till 30 April, Bird Bird is having a limited-time only pop-up at Homeground offering both a lunch and dinner menu. We went for lunch and were wowed by the Crispy Chicken Sandwich which comes with a humongous battered chicken thigh sandwiched between seeded buns and green papaya slaw with a slather of coriander mayo. The Khao Soi did bring us back to our Chiang Mai holiday but wished the curry broth was slightly spicier. It came with a huge duck leg that was cooked perfectly as there was minimal gaminess and the meat was fork tender.

Stupid choice on my end because the coffee taste is so diluted from the milk.

It's alright

Honestly to a noob like me it's just acidic water but the friend was raving so I guess if you're a connoisseur you'll love it

Coffee is nice and aromatic

For the Grilled Double Cheese ($22), the toast-to-filling ratio was a little off for me as the sourdough was sliced a tad too thick for my liking. However, the hearty sandwich combo was satisfying as the crusty sourdough was grilled to perfection. I enjoyed the fact that there was a substantial amount of mushrooms studded in the melted smoked cheddar, emmental and bechamel. Not too rich or cloying, the cheesy toastie was wonderfully balanced with the spiced tomato relish - moreish, tangy with a slightly herbaceous quality.

I think I found my new favourite cafe as brunch was a blast at Homeground Coffee Roasters~ A hearty meal through and through, the Steak and Asian Fried Eggs ($30), though pricey, was great for sharing. The medium rare seared steak was complemented with fries and a crispy sunny side-up egg dressed with an aromatic mix of chili olive oil, chives and parsley. The beef was pretty succulent and well-seasoned too!
