Sundays with Les Bouchons’ New Brunch Menu

No Comments on Sundays with Les Bouchons’ New Brunch Menu

Rise and shine, folks. It’s time for some Sunday brunching! Come with your family or friends for the new Bouchons Riviera Brunch, the perfect perk-me-up on a lazy Sunday.

Les Bouchons was established in 2002, with its first opening at Ann Siang Hill. The Robertson Quay outlet boasts a similar French bistro vibe and with the added charm of the French Riviera, comes the name Les Bouchons Rive Gauche. Helmed by French Chef Mickael Cornac, guests can expect a truly authentic dining experience that’s rooted in Parisian culture and flavour. Bubbly and amicable, Chef Mickael spoke with such gusto for every dish, throwing in nibbles of fun facts, for a little behind-the-scenes look at the concoction of the beautiful plates before our eyes.

Launched last April, Bouchons Rivera Brunch is served only at its Robertson Quay outlet. The menu, creatively-inspired by the French Riviera, is the brand’s first-ever attempt at brunch. And dare we say, it was a pretty, darn good brunch!

For starters, give a shot at the Eggs Mimosa and Escargot de Bourgogne. The former is more commonly known as Devil’s Eggs — a creamy mousse of eggs accompanied by garlic-sauteed asparagus for an extra bite. With the clever addition of dashes of mustard and lemon juice, the eggy rendition is flavourful and a rightfully delightful starter.

Another great way to ease yourselves into the mains would be Les Bouchons’ signature escargots. The French delicacy is served with warm, toasted breads from French bakery Paul, great for moping up the deliciously addictive garlic-parsley butter. Psst, Chef Mickael is pretty generous with seconds too!

Moving on to the mains, you’ll be glad you came in groups! The serving is exceptionally generous, great for sharing. From nutritious bowls to hearty roasts, there’s definitely something for everyone!

Starting off with the health-conscious, this one’s for you. The Wellness Bowl is the perfect blend of textures and flavours — crunchy granola, honey yoghurt, tea-soaked goji berries, fresh bananas, chia seeds, and get this, balsamic-infused strawberries! The infusion lends a surprisingly tangy twist to the sweet fruit that refreshes your palate.

For a savoury healthy option, go for the Guele de Bois. Quipped as Bouchons Hangover Cure, this is another great bowl of goodness. Colourful and decadent, the dish boasts the highly raved ‘Impossible’ meatballs, strong scents of truffle oil with creamy scrambled eggs, and sides of juicy roasted cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and asparagus. The meatballs exude a slightly sweet undertone, bringing out the truffled eggs really well in a nice pairing.

*Gueule de Bois (Bouchons Hangover Cure)* $24++

For carnivores, fret not! Meet the meats. Bouchons Sunday Roast will have you drooling at the sight of the glorious meaty delight. For the roast, there is a weekly rotation between meats like quail and slow-cooked short ribs. For our visit, we were treated to the amazing 10-hour slow-cooked short ribs. Unbelievably fragrant, the beef was infused beautifully with rosemary, garlic, and thyme — simply melt-in-your-mouth umaminess. Meltingly-tender, the roast is gastronomically worth every single calorie and penny.

Remember to call in advance to see if your favourite is available for the coming Sunday brunch!

If it’s your first time at Les Bouchons, then you’ve got to try the Grilled Black Angus Rib Eye Steak. A Les Bouchons mainstay, be prepared to fall in love with the succulent yet still delicately-tender cut, complete with free-flow house-made fries! The vigneron (shallot and mustard) butter is slathered all over the meat, giving the 300g steak an added richness. It’s no wonder that the juicy cut remains a best-selling crowd favourite till this day.

*Grilled Black Angus Rib Eye Steak $39.80++*

As brunch winds down, end off your Sunday outing on a sweet note. Chef Mickael has whipped up desserts with just as much passion as the City of Love. Bite into the decadent Chocolate Brownie, served warm and contrasted against the cool vanilla ice-cream atop. Made with 66% dark chocolates, rest assured that the fudgy dessert won’t be cloyingly sweet.

Another Les Bouchons favourite, the Creme Brulee will steal the hearts of sweet-lovers. Velvety-smooth without the eggy custard taste, the rendition here is invigorated with a slight citrusy hint, courtesy of the creative Chef Mickael. Scoop a spoonful of that smokey, caramelised brown sugar coating and you’ll soon be in French heaven. Other dessert options include the Crepe, with choices of Nutella, fine sugar, banana, or honey — great for the little ones.

If you woke up feeling hungry, head down to Les Bouchons Rive Gauche for a Riviera brunch that won’t disappoint. Sunday brunching starts from 11.30am – 3.30pm in the afternoon.

Weekends are best spent wine-ding down at Winederlust!

No Comments on Weekends are best spent wine-ding down at Winederlust!

We know the woes of a hectic work week: working late, eating disappointing takeout, and just not treating yourself right. This weekend, reward yourself and add some well-deserved quality food to your diet at Winederlust. They’ve also got stunning vegetarian and vegan options so our herbivorous friend can enjoy some wining and dining too.

This friendly establishment is part casual bistro, part wine cellar, and all mouth-watering, taking you on a journey around the world of good food and fine wine. Grab your passports and let’s begin!

Appetisers

Winederlust’s Green Pea Espuma is a unique dish you’re not likely to find anywhere else! The espuma – essentially, food foam – is made from pea tendrils and alfalfa. The dish is whipped into a foam so fluffy that eating it is what we imagine slurping up a cloud is like. A final drizzle of truffle oil adds depth and fragrance resulting in a comforting dish full of mellow and earthy notes.

If you can’t decide between cooked tuna or sashimi, then the Tuna Tataki Chimichanga is a must-try. Cooked to tataki perfection, the tuna is nicely seared outside yet still tender inside. As you bite into it, the tuna goes from savoury and just a little smoky to silky-smooth and sweet, a combo that got us craving more. Don’t scarf down everything too quickly though, because we haven’t gotten around to the other components yet.

Use the tostada as a plate, pile it with tuna, onions, avocado, and tabbouleh, and eat it in one bite. You won’t regret it.

Prefer the tried-and-tested classics? Don’t worry, there’s something for you too. While it does put a distinctive spin on the traditional dish, Winederlust’s Caprese Mozzarella Salad ticks all the boxes and more. The smooth and milky mozzarella adds a delightful element of softness and roundness to the tangy heirloom tomatoes and fresh, minty basil, while the nutty smoked tempeh (bet you weren’t expecting that!) keeps everything nicely grounded, creating a depth of flavour you don’t get in your usual Caprese.

Binge watching Hell’s Kitchen has taught us one thing about cooking: scallops are notoriously difficult to get right. That’s why we were pleased to find that Winederlust does justice to their gorgeous Hokkaido Scallops. Creamy and plump without being overly chewy, each scallop boasts a yummy sear, while the tangy raspberry dressing cuts nicely through the sweet meat.

Mains

This may be a simple dish but it’s pretty much the epitome of elegance in simplicity. The Flank Steak is more than enough to make any meat lover fall in love. Paired with a smooth and earthy mushroom puree, the plate of beefy goodness is an indulgent treat. If the meat’s too rich for you, try it with the tender rutabaga coins – truly a match made in heaven.

All hail the Sous Vide 12 Hours Pork Belly! You won’t be able to resist this one: pork belly that’s been sous vide for 12 hours so that it’s fork-tender, paired with pork jus cooked with herbs and served on a bed of braised lima beans. The melt-in-your-mouth pork and bold flavours of herb-infused jus make this an addictive dish we can’t get enough of. A little grated daikon helps to balance the dish by providing some freshness, contrasting with the richness of the pork.

As its name suggests, The Sea’s all about seafood, with a little taste of the big blue sea in every bite. Featuring red snapper, squid, and tiger prawns, you’ve essentially got the entire ocean swimming on your plate. We would’ve been happy with a big plate of seafood, but it doesn’t stop there. There’s also a smattering of tropical fruits to brighten the dish with the occasional nuance of bright, floral flavours. Finally, scattered peanuts contribute a playful crunch every now and then, so you’ll never know what to expect next.

Let’s navigate back to land and go right into their Seared Duck Breast with this sublime seared duck breast with mouth-watering notes of a caramelised duck. Full of richness and depth, the succulent meat is complemented by butternut pumpkin and charred asparagus. The veggies are bursting with fresh and sunny flavours that evoke a charming garden – it’s all too easy to imagine you’ve just picked them from your backyard.

Of course, this place wouldn’t be called Winederlust if they didn’t have wines. These dishes are all part of their Weekend Wine Buffet, a special that’s every bit as awesome as it sounds. Each main is going for just $10, and you’ll get unlimited wine hand-picked by the experienced sommeliers too.

It doesn’t matter if you’re an alcohol amateur or a cultured connoisseur; here at Winederlust, everyone can find their perfect wine.

Popeye’s Chicken & Waffle Review + A Guide to Chicken & Waffles in Singapore

Post author By Emerline Su
Post date April 5, 2018
2 Comments on Popeye’s Chicken & Waffle Review + A Guide to Chicken & Waffles in Singapore

A few weeks ago, we told all of you that Popeye’s has released Chicken & Waffles, which will only be on their menus until 28 April. Today, we’re going to give you the low-down on this new contender in the Chicken-Waffle arena. Is it worth the hype?

Cr: popeyes.com.sg

Popeye’s is all about fried chicken, so it’s no surprise that their “chicken” side of this dish would be tasty. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. It was also full of smoky Cajun flavours that Popeye’s is best known for. Slightly spicy and with a satisfying crunch, we haven’t got much to complain about here. However, it could definitely have done without the nacho cheese and chili sauce which were both a tad too artificial-tasting.

A really good waffle should look something like this: thick and golden-brown, crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Sadly, the waffles at Popeye’s aren’t exactly to die for. They definitely had the crispness nailed but sans the soft and fluffy.

Verdict

Overall, Popeye’s Chicken & Waffles are pretty ok, considering the low price point ($6.90 for ala carte, $8.90 for a meal including a drink and side). While it wasn’t terrible, it’s not quite a list-topper either. The dish is a pretty good low-budget option but it would have been nice if it was more satisfying.

Check out this list of restaurants that you can go to for more spots to get your Chicken & Waffle treat!

1. Montana: With a Southern twist

If you’re in love with all the smoky spices of Southern cuisine, then this is the place to get it. Their fried chicken has a golden-brown and crispy batter, which breaks open to release a mouthful of juicy, tender, and flavourful chicken meat. As for the waffles, we’re delighted to say that they’ve achieved that perfect balance between crisp and fluffy, resulting in a light, comforting waffle that’s a worthy complement to the chicken. The dish is served with homemade spicy coleslaw and corn salsa that keeps it from being too heavy.

Find it at 1 Selegie Road, #02-25, PoMo, Singapore 188306.

2. OverEasy: All-American, always satisfying

This cheeky restaurant brings the classic American diner to Singapore, complete with thick milkshakes, juicy burgers, and everyone’s favourite chicken wings. But wait, there’s more: the chicken wings are served on top of waffles. Tender and packed full of flavour, the wings are some of the best we’ve ever eaten, while the waffles don’t let us down either. The entire ensemble comes with whipped honey butter and maple syrup. They come in American-sized portions too, more than enough for two.

3. The Beast: Making the most of your cheat day

Cr: ladyironchef.com

You either go big or go home at The Beast, Singapore’s first ever bourbon bar. Apart from a huge selection of quality bourbon, they’ve also got an amazing kitchen cooking up a chicken and waffles dish that’s a worthy addition to your cheat day menu. You’ll be served a generous piece of juicy fried chicken that’s absolutely irresistible and indulgently sinful, sitting on a bed of airy waffles. Just wait till you get to the bourbon-infused syrup. One does not simply waste alcoholic syrup.

4. Clinton Street Baking Company: Flavour Heaven

What we really love about Clinton Street’s chicken and waffles is the seasoning on the chicken, which is absolutely on point! The buttermilk adds a rich flavour to round out the intense spices, and the chicken breast remains tender while the batter is fried to crispy, golden perfection, while the waffles are soft and fluffy, infused with vanilla and more buttermilk. What really lifts this dish is the maple butter, which tastes as good as it sounds. Put all three parts together and you’ve got paradise in your mouth.

5. Arteastiq: A healthier option

Cr: onlywilliam.blogspot.sg

Now, we understand that there are two types of people: those who pig out on their cheat day, and those who still try to maintain some semblance of health consciousness. If you belong to the latter, then the chicken & waffles here are perfect for you. Instead of deep-fried chicken, the buttermilk chicken is pan-fried then placed on a bed of red onions, veggies, cashew nuts, and Thai mayonnaise. Underneath, the waffles are whole-wheat. Who says healthy foods can’t be yummy?

Find it at 333A Orchard Road, Mandarin Gallery, #04-14/15, Singapore 238867.

6. Revelry: Comforting and classic

Cr: adelinesays.blogspot.sg

Dedicated wholly to waffles, this bright and cheery cafe in Bukit Timah is already one of our favourites. Among many other waffle-based concoctions, their version of chicken and waffles is a flawless rendition of a timeless classic. It’s the ultimate comfort food: simple, straightforward, and absolutely delicious. A large, tender piece of chicken thigh with a crunchy batter sits invitingly on a golden-brown waffle that’s thick and fluffy, but still crispy. Nestled on the side of the plate is a generous serving of maple syrup you can drown the chicken in. Yum!

Find it at 21 Lor Kilat, Singapore 598123.
Click here for more information on Revelry.

7. Monniker: The ultimate level-up

Cr: angieisagirl.wordpress.com

The good people at Monniker looked at chicken and waffles and said “you know what this needs? Cheese and an egg.” And boy, were they right. Get the ultimate brunch meal with their immensely indulgent dish. You’ve got a slab of juicy chicken covered in melted cheddar, and sandwiched between two pieces of waffle. As if that wasn’t enough, the stack is topped with a sunny-side up smiling up at you. Are you salivating yet? We definitely are.

Find it at 387 Balestier Road, Singapore 329795.

The 8 Best Brunches in Singapore

Post author By Rachel Ho
Post date March 26, 2018
No Comments on The 8 Best Brunches in Singapore

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but we can’t all wake up at 8am on weekends, which is exactly the reason why brunches were created. Sadly, they’ve also been labelled the basic b*tch equivalent of meals, associated with overpriced eggs, funky-smelling hollandaise sauce, and annoying micro-influencers trying to get that flat-lay for their Instagram.

We shortlist our favourite brunch places that capture a range of budgets, and most importantly, the way to your stomach.

The Populus Coffee & Food Co.

This cafe makes hauling yourself to the Central Business District on a weekend worth it, with its top-notch breakfast servings and super tasty drinks. (We are partial to the Avocado Superfood Green Platter, their seasonal donburis and their made-on-the-spot smoothies.) Despite being around since late 2015, the queues still persist but the food is worth the wait. Thankfully, you can make a reservation here.

Find it at 146 Neil Rd, Singapore 088875

Atlas Coffeehouse

This middle-child cafe – its older and younger sisters are the now-defunct Assembly Coffee and Lunar Coffee Brewers in Shenton Way – located in Bukit Timah consistently serves great food and fantastic coffee. It’s the perfect pitstop, whether it’s after a walk through the Botanic Gardens or you need a place to wait for your kids/spouse/friend. In claustrophobic Singapore, the high ceilings provide a much-needed breather, and the staff never stop smiling despite the crowds.

A must-try: the Summer Chicken Stew, which is especially delicious on rainy days.

Find it at 6 Duke’s Rd, Singapore 268886

The Bakery by Woodlands Sourdough

Cr: yp.sg

We are reluctant to trumpet this place any more than necessary: seats are few and far between, and weekend crowds start to build up at 8.30am on the dot when it opens. But it is, arguably, the best place in Singapore to go for your sourdough fix.

We love their Sunday spin on Bialys, a Polish pastry they present with chopped onions, cheddar, and cracked eggs. Another favourite is the Rye Strawberry Balsamic Brownie, a sinful conclusion to a great breakfast. No meats served here, but that’s because these guys know that bread is their forte. Go early.

Find it at 10 Jalan Serene, #01-05 Serene Centre, Singapore 258748

Yan Ting

This place isn’t cheap – prices range from $65++ to $188++, depending on whether they are set menus and you get alcohol – but the quality is assured. After all, haven’t we all braced the queue for a dim sum place that just didn’t live up to the hype?

Manhattan

Brunching at one of the top 10 bars in the world means throwing out your arvo avo and eggs benedict cliches out of the window. Here we’re talking fresh oysters, ceviches, pastrami and cheese, foie gras. And we haven’t even started on the best part yet: free-flow cocktails, craft beers, and wine. It will certainly be several hours of indulgence. Bring your A-game!

Pacamara

Cr: Pinky Piggu

This corner-occupying joint along Upper Thomson is perfect for those looking for something a little more substantial, like a juicy duck confit hash or a richly marinated pulled pork sandwich. Seats here are spread across long tables, canteen-style, so you don’t have to wait too long to dine here. We also love their extensive drinks menu, which features over 30 craft beers, in-house roasted coffee, and enough tea flavours to find something you like.

Find it at 185 Upper Thomson Road, Singapore 574333
Click here for more info.

Fresh Fruits Lab

Cr: Eatbook.sg

Brunch here is more affordable than most, with dishes ranging from $13 to $17. It’s also got the charming, laidback vibe that permeates the East Coast, which makes you feel you can relax and savour each bite. Our favourite part about the lab, though, are their delicious, cold-pressed juices.

Find it at 351 Changi Road, Lorong Marzuki, Singapore 419818
Click here for more info.

Symmetry

We’ve been here for brunch, lunch, and dinner a few times and the guys running this place always manage to keep things fresh. Here there are starters (if you’re gunning for something new, why not try the Crab, Sweet Corn and Scallion Fritters), mains, AND desserts (we applaud the half-portion size they have for their berry-ful waffles). If that isn’t an all-rounded meal, we don’t know what is.

Top 10 Pocket-friendly Restaurants in Bali

Post author By Chope
Post date September 13, 2017
No Comments on Top 10 Pocket-friendly Restaurants in Bali

Bali’s well-known for its stunning beaches and exotic cuisine, Indo dishes, and believe it or not, there are countless places to splurge on a hearty feast without shelling out a small fortune. We’ve taken the liberty of compiling a quick guide to 10 restaurants, so you can eat your way across this beach paradise on a budget. It includes a variety of cuisines, from authentic Indonesian to Western fusion—whatever your pick, we guarantee both your appetite and your wallet will leave satisfied.

Spice by Chris Salans

If you’re looking for solid, unpretentious Indonesian food in a hip setting, Spice is the place to go. This gastro-bar, helmed by acclaimed chef Chris Salans, has three classy but comfortable locations spread across three destinations: Ubud, Sanur, and Seminyak. The menu is divvied up into sections like “Seafood”, “Raw”, and “Sliders”, and standouts include the indulgent Crispy Pork Belly given an update with turmeric dressing and dukkah spice or Tuna Tataki with sambal kecicang and tempe crackers. The cuisine here is infused with Western influences, so it’s no surprise that the affordable sliders (with ingredients like papaya, sambal hijau, and wakame bread) are absolutely scrumptious. Wash it all down with a milkshake or signature cocktail—Salans’ tipples only use fresh fruits and local spices. Pro-tip: give the Jackfruit Bourbon Cocktail a spin!

Find it at Jalan Raya Ubud No. 23, Ubud, Bali 80571; Jalan Danau Tamblingan No. 140, Sanur, Bali 80228; or Jalan Batu Belig No.7, Kerobokan, Seminyak, Bali 80361

Grain

Grain’s affordable menu belies the effort put into it: from locally-sourced produce, pies baked in-house, to a unique blend of 100% Arabica beans. You can find classic Indo dishes here too, but the All Day Breakfast and Western dishes are where it’s at. Go for a Bali Benedict or the luxurious Breakfast Board, which offers an assortment of components like marinated feta and sourdough rosti for a steal. For something heartier, you can’t go wrong with a Pulled Pork Burger showcasing slow-roasted pork with homemade apple sauce. Pair it with a cup of coffee and while away a lazy afternoon in Seminyak. The art-adorned walls, matching cushions, and industrial vibe make for a beautifully Instagrammable interior, too.

Scratch

When an entire section of a restaurant’s menu is dedicated to comfort food, you know they’re serious about it. This casual eatery, with its homely interior and downright good food, is hidden away near Oberoi and Kerobokan streets. Scratch is devoted to serving up rustic pasta and meaty mains that are easy on the wallet—most dishes are priced below IDR 120,000! Each plate is an explosion of flavours, and we love the Scratchatouille, a roasted crispy skin chicken on a ratatouille comprising ten vegetables and five herbs, garnished with gorgonzola and toasted almond olive oil. Other favourites are the Philly Cheese Steak Poutine and slow-cooked Baby Back Pork Ribs in two styles, whether you’re craving eastern or western flavours. Salivating yet?

Rev up this Singapore Race Weekend with a Stellar brunch!

Post date September 6, 2017
No Comments on Rev up this Singapore Race Weekend with a Stellar brunch!

The roar of engines, the exhilarating excitement as race cars zip past, and the buzz of the crowds – there’s nothing quite like an experience at the race tracks!

While the anticipation for the Grand Prix weekend is building among the Chope team, that isn’t the only thing that we’re excited about: Stellar at 1-Altitude, known for their progressive Australian cuisine and even more breathtaking views of Singapore, is partaking in the race weekend festivities with the world’s highest Wagyu BBQ Brunch that offers a bird’s eye view of the circuit!

We can’t think of a better way to enjoy the race weekend that over a luxurious brunch session at one of the best dining spots in town. A top-notch Wagyu barbecue spread and a dizzying array of fresh seafood, charcuterie, and other live stations? It’s almost impossible to resist.

The view at Stellar is not the only thing that will take your breath away. Just wait till you see the star of the Wagyu BBQ Brunch: the Mayura “Steam Ship” comes as a whole quarter of the flavoursome Mayura Wagyu, roasted slowly over coals. Perfectly charred on the outside while staying tender and juicy within, this bad boy’s the ultimate indulgence. For variety, there are also other succulent grill items such as Tajima sausages and mini burgers, Tajima satay, prawn skewers, miso salmon, and more offered on the menu.

The decadence doesn’t end there: load up on fresh bounties of the sea like Fine de Claire oysters, sashimi, and sea bass confit that’ll have you raving for days. It wouldn’t be a brunch if we didn’t mention the selection of brunch favourites – the French toast with strawberry and lavender honey is undeniably irresistible, and let’s not forget the ever-popular smoked egg Florentine with vadouvan spices. The very thought is sending us in a midday frenzy!

Other worthy mentions include the pan-fried goose liver, smoked French chicken breast, Iberico ham, duck rillettes, and chorizo. Need something to cleanse your palate? The fresh salads and pasta are at your disposal. Have a sweet tooth, you say? Be prepared to gorge on irresistible treats like the torched kumquat Alaska, pineapple panna cotta shooters, and other sweet delights such as cakes, truffles, tartlets, macaroons and eclairs. Need we say more?

For a spread this luxurious, $140++ per person ($180++ for unlimited pourings of Prosecco) is a steal! Looking to indulge in the seafood selections only? They’ve got you covered too with a seafood buffet that’s only going for $108++ with a free flow Prosecco option for an additional $40.

Free-Flow Brunch at Only $58++? Get Yours at Salted & Hung!

Post author By Michelle Tan
Post date August 18, 2017
No Comments on Free-Flow Brunch at Only $58++? Get Yours at Salted & Hung!

Mention the word ‘brunch’ and it’s likely you’re already thinking about the aroma of coffee, fulfilling breakfast platters, and the ambience of a cafe on a Sunday afternoon. But we’ll let you in on a little secret: what if brunch can be so much more than that?

Taking the usual brunch experience up a notch is Salted & Hung‘s Weekend Brunch Hangout, where diners get to tuck into free-flow (yes, we said FREE-FLOW) brunch items on Saturdays and Sundays. With a menu that boasts over 12 showstopping dishes, as well as a charcuterie and antipasti bar, this has to be one of the best kept secrets in town! Let us give you the rundown of some of our favourite dishes on the menu (click here for the full menu).

Simple in name but not in flavour, Salted & Hung’s Portobello & Egg on Toast is something of a revelation. The robust sourdough bread carries a deep and slightly tangy taste which perfectly complements the meaty portobello and caramelised onions that it comes topped with. That torched cheese? YUM.

[NSFW] EGG PORN WARNING: Cut through the gleaming egg and let the golden yolk add another dimension of flavour to this already tasty snack!

Another firm Chope team favourite is their Smoked Halibut and Caviar Crostini. The crostini bears the signature char from the Salted & Hung team’s skillful grilling. With each bite, the moreish mix of smoked halibut and savoury caviar create nuances of textures and flavours.

Small plates aside, don’t forget to give some of their meatier options a try. With tantalising items such as Fremantle Octopus chargrilled to perfection, juicy Chicken Thigh, and satisfying Wagyu Ragu, resistance is futile.

While Salted & Hung likes to keep things simple, the flavours of the dishes that fly out the kitchen are never compromised. A fine example comes in the form of their Steak, Eggs, & Tomatoes: a delicate slab of Angus beef short rib is sous vide at a low temperature for 48 hours, and then lightly smoked with applewood and mesquite before hitting the grill. With so much care put into preparing the short rib, it doesn’t come as a surprise that each bite packs a complex punch. Served on the side are dainty, charred, pickled green tomatoes which were a welcoming cleanser in between mouthfuls of steak.

With irresistible selections such as the Peanut Butter Cornetto and French Toast Doughnuts, we won’t hold it against you if you decide to go nuts on the desserts front. Their Hibiscus, Berries & Px took us by surprise with its fresh, tart, yet sweet combination.

For an afternoon of free-flow delights to knock your socks off, the whole shebang costs only $58++ per person. Plus, top up an additional $30++ for unlimited beer, prosecco, and house pour wines for two hours! The best part? Each Sunday from now until 3rd September 2017, score a brunch seat at only $50++ per person when you book a table through either the Chope app or website with the promo code 50SALTED!

Find it at 12 Purvis St, Singapore 188591
For reservations on other days, book a table at Salted & Hung and earn 2X Chope-Dollars with the code TASTYBLOG. Please note that only one promo code can be used at any one time.

You can have breakfast for lunch (or even dinner, really) as they have an all-day breakfast menu offering scrumptious varieties of French Toast, Eggs Benedict, Granola Bowls, and more!

Grocer & Grind

A haunt for tourists and expats alike craving for a good cuppa joe, Grocer & Grind grows, imports, and procures the best ingredients in order to create dishes inspired by cuisines all over the world.

For breakfast, tuck into perfectly plated Palm Sugar Pancakes with Organic Palm Nectar, Caramelized Bananas, and Candied Walnuts. Craving something savoury?

The decor is immaculately done, with low-hanging chandeliers, wooden furnishings, antiques, and artifacts sourced from around the Indonesian archipelago adorning the interior.

Betelnut Cafe

Healthy food never tasted so good. Located in a two-storey treehouse overlooking vast rice paddies at Batu Bolong, Canggu, a meal at Betelnut cafe is a treat for both the eyes and taste buds! There’s a whole range of healthy yet scrumptious food choices to choose from, such as towering burgers served with a side of fat chips, to HUGE (I’m not kidding here) bowls of fresh salads. We recommend opting for the Big Betelnut Salad, a bad**s that boasts a combination of four of their special salads – the best of both worlds, amirite?

Corner House

Located in a cozy, two-storey bungalow at the end of Jalan Kayu Aya in Seminyak, Corner House has the perfect environment to while away a lazy afternoon with delicious grub and quality brews. The menu at this all-day diner is quite comprehensive, featuring breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour menus (plus a wide range of apéritifs).

Pssst, though the Corn Fritter Stack might not sound that appealing, it is to-die-for and it’s one dish we can’t stop raving about. Similar to vegetable fritters, these tasty delights are fried to perfection – crisp on the outside yet moist on the inside. The fritters are then layered with halloumi and stewed tomatoes before being topped with a perfectly poached egg. UH-may-zinggg.

Be sure to order an Acai Berry Bowl and their Polenta Fries with Truffle Aioli and Parmesan. The Polenta Fries have subtle truffle notes and are fried to golden-brown perfection; the grated parmesan adds a salty aftertaste, sealing the deal. They’re insanely delicious we would queue 30 minutes just for them.
