Enjoy dining without burning a hole in your pocket, no membership required
Suggested by Van (@mrs_vanity), we met at @jackswifefreda for brunch and what a cool place it turned out to be.
The menu is eclectic, fun and attractively priced which is where the main allure lies and explains the constant queue outside. Shown here is the “Maya’s Breakfast Bowl” ($18), a favourite of Van’s which I understood why once I tried it. Besides the hearty portion, it has a really tasty combination of ingredients. I loved the spicy green sauce served with it (who knows what sorcery gets it to taste so good) as well as the freshness of everything that went into the bowl: red quinoa, kale, spagetti squash, grilled tomato, radish and avocado. They let you have a choice on how you prefer your eggs too: poached or scrambled.
Although the restaurant is small, they manage to pack in quite a crowd thanks to communal seating and closely-arranged tables. In other words, if you are planning to divulge secrets/gossip, you might want to rethink having a meal here. Other than that, all good.
