In case you are wondering, halloumi is actually an unripened brined cheese made form a mixture of goat and sheep's milk. Every element in this kaleidoscopic brunch platter was a satisfaction to my palate (apart from the tomatoes of course 😅). The grilled halloumi had a slightly crisp chargrilled exterior with a firm, rubbery interior and a piquant flavour that's rather similar to a thick feta cheese. Moving on, the scrambled eggs were done to perfection- creamy and smooth, silky texture with a milky, eggy fragrance! 💖 The fried kale chips were crisp and seaweed-like, adding a tinge of saltiness to the platter and was surprisingly additive and great 👍🏻 The mini crossaint was toasted to a crisp, flaky exterior coupled with a pillowy interior that withheld a lingering buttery fragrance. In addition, the roasted mini portobellos were well sautéed with a distinctive earthy note coupled with a chewy, juicy texture. Lastly, the pomme noisettes (deep fried potatoes) were crisp with a soft, creamy mash interior that was also an addiction - wish there was more of it! 😋 A fulfilling and satisfying brunch that was worth every $ spent and every calorie intake, coupled with a welcoming, friendly service from the crews here that made my trip worthwhile☺️ .

Truffle Fries were good, though a tad overpriced at $12 - came pipping hot, crispy & had enough truffle oil on them, particularly liked the bits of melted cheese. The Vongole however, was not great - tasted mainly of olive oil.

Because of ardent foodies, @angelineongsuming and @happygreedyfoodie, I not only got introduced to the big bad beautiful world of burgers by PTT's Group Executive Chef Adam, but also had a sneak taste of his brand new "Watermelon Man".
Originally created for a magazine collab for Three Buns in Jakarta, this burger (which is named after a Herbie Hancock song) is a cannonball of strong yet remarkably balanced flavours .
Looking like it could pass off as a slice of beetroot, the watermelon had survived an intensive process to get to this point. Cured in sugar syrup and a bunch of other tasty things, and compressed to achieve a tight, smooth texture, it more than held its own against all 150gms of the UK Hereford Angus beef patty. Not to mention, it had to contend with the potent quadar de carva cheese, pickled onions, ketchup and housemade thousand island dressing as well. Like a championship match between great rivals, this battle of flavours demanded a worthy venue. The space between the light cushion halves of toasted brioche was it.
From around mid May, the "Watermelon Man" will be on the menu at Three Buns in Singapore.

Another toast item, but the sourdough toast comes topped with spicy salami and pastrami with pepper spread and fried egg instead. While the Grilled Octopus on Hummus is more of the lighter item, the Pastourmas was an item that is heavier in terms of flavour. Savoury slices of salami flavours the toast, while the tangy pepper spread (where pepper meant bell peppers) gives the cured meats a flavour contrast that is more uplifting. Something I would probably call "breakfast on a single dish", though the flavours of the fermentation of the sourdough is less prominent here as a result from the heavier tasting toppings in retrospect.

From Six by Sera at 89 Rangoon Road; beside Oriental Ice Cafe and opposite Enchanted Cafe/Old Hen Coffee — they seemed to serve a rather small menu of mains such as Smoked Salmon & Avocado, Baked Eggs with weekend specials such as a Chili Crab Sauce Croissant; also on the menu includes interesting sweet treats such as Cheesecake Croissant and Milk Dinosaur Croissant.

Stored in their display chiller along with tarts, pastries and cakes is their series of savoury donuts — there are 3 available; Beef Habanero, Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese and the Bacon Cheese Donut. While the donut is pretty light and fluffy being naturally lightly sweet on its own, the overall combination was rather pedestrian; almost akin to buying a bun from a neighbourhood bakery with similar components, not to mention the extremely dry bacon and the donut being a little bit on the greasy side.

A favourite among westies and office workers in the one-north vicinity, Revolution Coffee won us over with their dedication to both their coffee and food. The java here is brewed using beans from their sister company The Caffeine Dispensary, while their kitchen is helmed by respected chef Shen Tan, known for her modern Singaporean cooking. The communal tables are great for big group gatherings, so don't head here during meal hours if you're looking for a spot of quiet. Order the well-balanced Cappuccino ($5.50) to go with the locally-inspired treats. A must-order, especially if it's your first time, is chef Tan's Nasi Lemak with tender, rempah-laced Beef Rendang ($9.90); there are other protein options like fried chicken and crispy pork. Other fusion plates to try include the Buah Keluak Pasta and Bak Chor Mee Pasta ($19.90 each). Just be sure to save space for the imaginative desserts like Pulot Hitam Pudding ($10), a tasty marriage between pulot hitam and sticky date pudding, and Shendol Delights ($10), the chef's take on chendol. Pro tip: On weekdays from 8am to 8pm, hop on the free shuttle bus that takes you to-and-fro One North MRT Station and Infinite Studios, where the cafe is.

Setting high standards with their specialty coffees, VXX Cooperative uses beans from all over the world — Cloud Catchers (Malaysia), Koppi Roasters (Sweden), Tim Wendelboe (Norway) and Nylon (Singapore). Keep it simple with a Cold Black ($5) on hot days, or go for the unique Espresso Set ($8) that sees a white coffee paired with a shot of espresso on the side. Alternatively, ask the friendly and knowledgeable baristas about their Selection Coffee which changes every few of days. Their recently revamped menu features comforting dishes like the Chilli Crab & Cheese Omelette on Sourdough ($14), where a sweet and spicy omelette gets a generous stuffing of crabmeat and cheese and sits atop a slice of sourdough from The Bakery by Woodlands Sourdough. For a dessert to share, have the Banana French Toast with Mascarpone ($12) that comes with freeze-dried raspberries and a nice earthy touch of thyme. Be sure to add on a scoop of their Signature Flavour ($4), an espresso-based ice cream birthed from a collaboration between Apiary and VXX Cooperative.

Good and cozy ambience and highly recommended for small group gathering.
Our first dish - Hummus. Mushed chickpea then seasoned with tahini, sumac and paprika. Break the warm pita and take a small scoop of the chickpea. It's nutty and earthy flavors created comfort in the mouth. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

There used to be an item on the brunch menu that featured this thick slab of divine maple-glazed bacon chop with eggs and some greens. While that dish is no longer available from the current selection, you can still get this as an add-on for $10 and you really, REALLY should. It's like a well-smoked bacon and Christmas ham's love child and remains undefeated as my favourite here (tied on first place with the feta burrata, of course). ❤️

🌶🦀🍝 MANTOU SLIDERS! & a fancy schmancy Ondeh Ondeh French Toast that was a good balance of flavours (not overly sweet / also you can't go wrong with brioche EVER mmm) (📷: @beaverwoo)
