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.
