Eggs & Berries

Want to have Eggs & Berries? In case you are wondering, we are talking about literally going to the dining venue- Eggs & Berries to have eggs and berries. LOL! Eggs & Berries have just launched its newly revamped menu that promises healthy eating that expects only natural flavors.

.

Apart from the classic Caesar salad, there is the option of Yuzu crab Salad ($10.90) – garden greens tossed with crab meat, smoked bacon, cherry tomatoes, hardboiled egg and garlic croutons in chef’s home-made yuzu salad dressing. Quite a pretty presentation but it might need a little tweaks. I like the innovative addition of dollops of crab meat but the bacon was a little out of place, more of the crab meat please!

Fisherman Basket ($16.90) Home-made recipe battered white fish, calamari, prawns, fries, served with either of 2 sauces (yuzu, thai chilli, aioli or hickory sauce) I personally prefer the yuzu sauce as it is a little tangy yet sweet, adding a citrusy kick to the fried fish.

True to the restaurant’s moniker, you can choose to have eggs done in any of the four methods: over easy, poached, scrambled or sunny side up.

Basil & Prosciutto di parma Omelette ($13.90)

The ham added the right amount of salt and taste and the omelette was golden on the outside and creamy within, would have been better if more cheese was added!

Eggs Florentine ($13.90)

Beautifully poached eggs complemented by english muffins, smoked salmon, salad greens and drizzled with hollandaise sauce. This is the best dish that I enjoyed as the poached eggs are well done with runny yolk. Oh the eggporn crime scene of the oozing yolk!

We can all see why eggs are the restaurant’s calling card.

Eggs & berries has also expanded its pasta selection with glorious offerings like Aglio Olio King River Prawn ($20.90) – Aglio Olio pasta served with King River Prawn baked with wild mushrooms, onions, bacon and melted cheese or Traditional Squid Ink $17.90)

Now, moving on to the "Berries" (sweet desserts) which Eggs & Berries has to offer. Apart from the crispy fluffy pancakes and waffles, there's the choice of churros, lava cake or souffle.

Passionfruit and banana soufflé (less sugar,  $9.90) – Freshly baked soufflé of egg white infused with passionfruit and bananas served with scorched bananas and vanilla ice cream.

If you are thinking of having brunch for dinner, Eggs & berries will satisfy your cravings with their extensive new menu as it is open till 10pm daily!

Flock Cafe at Ghim Moh - The Place to Get Pork Dishes

Will people start flocking towards Flock 2nd outlet at Flock Ghim Moh? The pork dishes offered there would probably attract the hipsters.

The first outlet of Flock Cafe had been around for more than 2 years, right when the cafe wave started in Singapore. The intention to open a second outlet was to offer a more diversified menu to the changing cafe culture.

The interior was clean with natural lighting that we liked. No more uses of flash, torchlight and hand phon LED light just to get a perfect lighting.

We loved the menu hanging at the front of the cafe. A chalkboard drawn from scratch. Very modern, very hip, and reminded me of my days in school listening to boring lessons. Ahem...


The Cheeky Eggs ($14) was the first item on the board. It was highly recommended by the staff and I did have my reservation initially, afterall it's Eggs Benedict.

It turned out to be a pleasant surprise with a crispy edge toasted brioche that blended well with the handpulled braised pork.
The pork was tender and flavourful and the poached eggs flowed. It's cheeky, looked pretty ordinary but playfully interesting.


We also ordered the Pork Cheek Rigatoni ($14) and my friends did not approve since we had already ordered the Cheeky Eggs.

Still as impressive, I thought. Their pork dishes were well executed, that we didn't regret having 2 pork dishes in one setting.


What caught our attention was this Nyonya Fish Patty Sandwich ($15.90) since we don't mind traditional Nyonya dish in a cafe setting.

The portion was huge, well infused flavours in the fish patty, similar to a fish cake texture that was chewy. The Nyonya taste was pretty acquired, if you like it, you will.


The flat white and latte ($5 each) offered here were made using Liberty Coffee blends, medium body, with low acidic tone.


Cakes were outsourced externally from external bakers and Patisserie G. We loved the Carrot Cake which was moist and not overly sweet.

Flock at Ghim Moh proved to be in touch with the current trends even though they had been around since the start of the cafe bandwagon. The innovative menu that incorporated current food trend is definitely interesting to attract cafehoppers to pay them a visit at their new outlet.

Thank You Flock Ghim Moh for the invitation.

Wildfire Kitchen + Bar

Taking over the previous space left by Hatched is Wildfire Kitchen + Bar where it is more of a casual self-serve restaurant. No More EGGporn but here comes BURGERporn as it offers gourmet burgers, brunch, char-grilled steaks, coffee and even craft beer in bottle and 3 beers on tap (Hitachino, Rogue and Proper Job)

To be honest, what entices me to come on a weekday afternoon is more because of their launch of the brunch menu. Lol it’s ironic I know but the trend these day is all about café, café-hopping and brunches isn’t it?

We decided on ordering a burger and two brunch items (one sweet, one savoury) to share. It did not take too long for our buzzer to sound out as it is slightly after lunch-hour that we arrive at 130pm.

Here's their menu (courtesy from their FB page):

Brunch Menu

Burgers

The Classic Burger ($16) – A 120 Day grain-fed beef patty with butterhead lettuce, sliced tomatoes, beer caramelised onions, cheddar cheese and signature mustard sauce. The size of the burger was decent considering its price and it being the most basic one on offer, I bet the others would look like some towering burgers. The wagyu patty is more on the lean side and thus slightly drier and bland on its own but the melted cheese definitely hits the right spot. The part I like best about the burger is the bun. The buns are soft and spongy on the inside while beautifully crisped on the edges. The burger comes with side of fries which taste good although it has turned cold.

Crunchy Brioche French Toast ($16) – Thick soft brioche rolled in crushed cornflakes and topped with blueberries, strawberries honey roasted walnuts and maple Chantilly cream. I admitted to ordering this as it looks to be the most visually appealing to me. And we were pretty quite blown away when we took the first bite. The fluffy brioche was soft while the crunchy crushed cornflakes/roasted walnuts added alternating textures to each bite. This remains as my favourite dish among the 3 which we ordered.

Breakfast Omelette ($13) – Classic Omelette with mushrooms, ham and feta cheese served with  tater tots (deep fried grated potatoes), salad and toasted sourdough bread. Now I realized that sourdough bread is missing in the plate that they served us. The overall appearance looks pretty unappealing as the ham and mushroom were hiding within the omelette. Turns out to be pretty delectable and ends up being the first plate that we wiped clean. 好吃不好看

Wildfire offers not only burgers, brunch, beer (6-8pm happy hours) but also desserts: ice cream cookies from cookies & co ($6). Wished the patty was more seasoned and flavoured and that would sit it perfectly sandwiched in those SOFT buns. I love big buns and I cannot lie~ especially SOFT ones LOL!

To get to the place, it is rather inaccessible or ‘ulu’ as you have to walk approximately (1 km) from the nearest Botanics MRT under the sweltering hot sun. Good to know that Assembly Coffee is just next doors, their waffles with ice cream has been raved to be among the top in Singapore. So, kill two birds with one stone at a go!

Address: 26 Evans Roads, Singapore 259367

Opening Hours: 830am to 1030pm; brunch served till 4pm daily
