Brunch at home

There's no better thing than waking up late in a weekend and having some huge, huge breakfast (it's your lunch too!). Finding those places for brunch in Singapore might be an easy job to do, but paying them will not be easy for my pocket. Sometimes you just want to enjoy your brunch serenely as well, away from the crowds and loud chattering. I was then came up with this idea to cook my own brekkie at home. They costed less and tasted more, as they were all home-made. The best part was that I could do them in any way I want. How fun was that! So what I did was some simple sauté and grilling, put some garlic spread on the rosemary ciabatta before toasting them. The key was on the sausages though; make sure you'll get those yummy flavoured sausages instead of the plain ones. There was only one down side that you'll find: washing all the dishes. Bon appetit!

Breakfast at Cedele

For me, breakfast is the most important and the best meal of the day. I can't start my day without it, anything sweet or savoury but not too heavy will do. Though it was already the lunch time, I demanded some breakfast cus I haven't had any. Sadly, most places here offers their breakfast only up till 11 in the morning. But I found an amazing place who serves their breakfast all day, weekdays and weekends.

Cedele by bakery Depot has been known for their healthy organic meal. Their menu consist of a lot of things: breakfast, pasta, sandwich, glutten free dishes, soups, and desserts. Some of them are less in sugar and fat, but still taste heavenly. My orange french toast aren't in exception. The soft breads are rich is orange scent, best when dipped in the yummy maple syrup.

If you choose the big breakfast, you'll get toasts, grilled mushrooms, sausages, bacons, and some eggs. Despite the normal look, the sausages and mushrooms are very delectable! A total comfort foods, I would say.

I will go to Cedele again for their healthy and pleasing meal, or even when I need to fix my cravings for sweets. I heard that they have 14 branches island wide, makes it pretty easy to find them.

This Week's Brunch

It's Sunday, and it also means time for another brunch! We picked PS. Cafe in Palais Reinessance for today. It has the second best ambience after their other branch in Dempsey. We arrived there around noon and saw that the place has already packed with eaters which are mainly foreigners.

We chose to dine outdoor for the fresh air and a better view. It's good when the weather isn't too hot or raining hard. During the weekend, brunch is provided up to 5 p.m. (last food orders at 3 pm), allowing us to stretch out a little bit and enjoy another tea or coffee after the meal.

I was in the mood for some eggs and therefore I decided to go for the breakfast stack ($22), which taste as good as it looks. It's a homemade zucchini and parmesan bread topped with poached egg in tomato, grilled portobello mushroom and hollandaise sauce with some grilled asparagus and rocket salad on the side.

A had the PS. lasagna ($23) despite his usual attempt to get the brunch burger. The homemade pasta is filled with gingered lamb mince, eggplant, mozzarella and bechamel with some greens on top. The taste of ginger is pretty strong, make it tasted rather weird for those who dislike ginger.

Old ginger root tea ($7) that came with a cute pot

They also has various fabulous looking desserts, both on their menu and also on the cake stands along the counter near the entrance. The only drawback is that they're all in a very huge size, so I could only have one to share.

The carrot cake ($10) wasn't satisfy me at all. Though it was loaded with big chunks of walnuts, the cake structure was too dry for my liking, and the cream cheese taste very bland instead of sour.

Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this place for brunch, lunch, dinner and tea. They have excellent foods as well as good venue. Do make a reservation for precaution, they'll get really packed during meal times.

Relish by Wildrocket

It's not a secret that I love brunch and a sunny lazy Sunday is a perfect day to go for it. I've heard so much (and also read, from other blogs of course) about Relish, lots of people reviewed that they have really nice burgers.

A ordered the bacon and cheese burger ($19). Every burger here comes with the fries. The beef patty is very thick, tender and has juicy flavour. I warn you, by the time you try this you'll stop going to Carl's Junior, Burger King, or other fast food joints which serves burger in Singapore. Though it might be more expensive, it's absolutely worth more to go for. For dinner, they have an option for the beef patty on the burger. If you feel hungrier, you can opt for the 180 grams of patty instead of the usual 150 grams.

I had the smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and cream cheese bagel ($18). It was a true indulgence, I've never eat salmon bagel this good. Toasted just perfect, the bagel has a crisp outer but still soft inside. The rocket leaves give a balance flavour to the creamy eggs and cream cheese. And I love the crispy diced potatoes, they're amazing! I would certainly prefer this compared to the usual fries. This item is only available for weekend brunch, so I need to wait for a week for another bite. (;p)

I saw that they have several sweet items for brunch and some desserts too. We were quite full and decided to go for some ice cream from Island Creamery next door instead. I will certainly come back to try their burger and of course, the dessert next time.
