There’s a very prominent spice flavour that hits you from the dukkah and the curried cauliflower, that I personally really liked, accompanied with the creamy and garlicky hummus spread. I loved the mix of textures, and overall it was pretty tasty and filling.

The 𝐙𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐞 ($𝟐𝟎) doesn’t win any marks on looks, but it’s deceptively flavourful!It’s quite unlike anything I’ve tried before, thin slices of zucchini and tomato, layered with taco ‘meat’ (I have no idea what it was), creamy cashew mayo, macadamia cheese and pesto.
The portion looks small but it’s quite filling as the dish is very creamy! The different sauces had distinctive flavour profiles that melded well together. But I just wish that the tomato sauce was fresher

The 𝐑𝐚𝐦 𝐋𝐞𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐟 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫 ($𝟐𝟏.𝟖𝟎) was their take on the iconic Ramly burger, with the beef patty wrapped in an extremely soft and fluffy egg omelette. The ramly sauce was pretty good, a mix of ‘secret’ chilli sauce and mayo.

For their burgers, you can pick either a side of salad, fries, or a half-&-half of both!

This was the most tender and fatty char siew I’ve had in my life 😩. Pulls apart so easily, the soft and juicy meat coated with a sweet bbq char siew sauce that had a deep flavour. It sat atop a slice of foccacia bread coated with butter and mayo. However, I thought the bread to be a bit too soft, almost soggy, possibly from the amount of butter used. It took away from the dish and didn’t serve to balance the soft meat well.

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
