Sarnies (Telok Ayer)

Sarnies' always had more misses than hits personally, but shan't talk too much about what I had (Miso Salmon Carbonara and the Pork Collar) as they seem to be removed from the menu. Will drop by again to try the exciting new menu.

this place fills up pretty fast, as with most places within the CBD. expect to come punctually at 12nn or slightly before that to secure that dine-in table!

the connection in-store is also very poor, so best to redeem your Beyond deal before heading inside to show the redemption code and place your order.

i have been (before Beyond) and will continue to come back for the food. portions are good for the price. the tomato relish and soft sunny side ups in the bacon & egg sarnie soaks through the sourdough and makes for an excellent contrast against the crisp bacon.

the only minor gripe being that coffee is not included for Beyond, and is quite expensive as-is. but there is an overload of coffee options within Telok Ayer, and this place doesn’t charge for drinking water which is a plus these days.

The medium rare steak was uneven across the two servings with one being thinner and more cooked through (would have preferred it more rare) but both were adequately tender and juicy, with extra flavoring and creaminess from the herbed butter. Nicely paired with soft and slightly tangy country sourdough (to cut through the oil), creamy folded eggs, crispy tater tots, and refreshing watercress salad. An overall satisfying and hearty brunch.

Eggs Benedict and steaks & egg.
Portions are smaller and price more expensive since the menu revamp.
However, food is still pretty decent. And their coffee is great.
💸: $39.70 (for food)

We were less than pleased with the 𝗙𝗿𝘆-𝘂𝗽 ($25), which reminded me of a clothing brand: SUPER DRY! The combination of fried eggs, rock-hard bacon, fried potatoes and chorizo rendered my throat parched. The sauteed mushrooms alleviated the dryness and the baked beans in salsa (?) were a godsend. Did no one think that adding some greens to this dish would make it more palatable?

I liked the 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 ($5.50), which was smooth and robust. The mains we chose today were hit and miss, so next time we'd stick to the tried and tested Truffle Scrambled Eggs.

Sarnies has been on the scene long enough that it needs no introduction. Aussie style brunch and good coffee keep the crowds coming back. As the interior is small and cramped, the outdoor seats are recommended.

With Burpple Beyond 1-for-1, the first item we had was the 𝗘𝗴𝗴𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗻-𝗷𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻 ($23). Perfectly poached eggs, crunchy baby spinach and crispy bacon on top of fluffy sourdough meant this classic brunch number met all expectations. The smoked ham (+ $3) was excellent too, so we were highly satisfied with this dish.
