Singapore Cafe - Top 3 brunch that I love!








'
I'm a huge fan of brunch! Name any cafe and I probably will have visited the place! I love eggs and sausages! Acutally i know all these items can be easily prepared at home. Instead of going to those insanely high-priced cafe place. But the atmosphere of having brunch at home and in cafe is really different. People always wonder why Singaporeans' like to take photos of their food. But, I think we all should! After all, there's so many mouth-watering food for you to order and eat and you definitely won't want to forget it! I use those photos I look to send to friends if they ask me where should they go for lunch, dinner etc! Here's some of my favourites!
 
1) Symmetry 
9 Jalan Kubor #01-01
Tel: 6291 9901
Open Tuesdays to Thursdays from 11am to 11pm
Fridays and Saturdays from 11am to 12midnight
Sundays from 11am to 7pm

Symmetry is always my favourite when i think of brunch's location. I super love their calamari with squid ink sauce! Sorry, there's no picture of that cause I was too hungry and I ate it way before the chance of photo taking. The brunch is filling and good. Their serving and display is delicious
 
2) Strangers’ Reunion
37 Kampong Bahru Road
Tel: 6222 4869
Open Mondays, Wednesday to Sundays from 9am to 11pm
Closed on Tuesdays

I walked pass this cafe and decided to go in. My intial plan that day was to go to Highlander Coffee but it was closed! So, we settled at Strangers' Reunion instead! And i really like the atmosphere there. Part of the reason why was because they have sofa seats and perfect egg benedict. Their House Smoked Salmon Benedict ($18.90) is also my favourite. I ordered camomile tea which comes with a pretty glass flask warm constantly. They also displayed some Klarra's collection in the cafe for us to browse and purchase if we are keen. Overall experience is good.

3) Lola's Cafe
5 Simon Rd
Tel: 6284 0349
Open Tuesdays to Thursdays from 10am to 1130pm
Fridays to Saturdays from 10am to 12midnight
Sundays from 10am to 1130pm
Closed on Mondays


 
Didn't get to eat Lola's cafe brunch. But manage to eat their famous finger food. Their Honey Paprika Chicken Wings is a must-try! Love every bit of their wings. This cafe is located near Kovan MRT. I went around 4pm when their brunch ended. So sad didn't get to try their brunch menu. But I must say, just their sides and dessert menu alone makes me want to go back again! I thought their Sticky Honey Apple Cake with Vanilla ice-cream is good too. Not too sweet for my liking.

I think this will change soon as there's so much more cafe to go to! But honestly, cafe business is really good. Most of the time, we paid $40 per pax each time we visit a cafe. Even restaurants aren't earning such good business, are they?

Make it Count

The future is and should be bright, what makes life valuable is that it doesn’t last forever, what makes it precious is that it ends. I know that now more than ever. And I say it today of all days to remind us that time is luck. So don’t waste it living someone else’s life, make yours count for something. Fight for what matters to you, no matter what. Because even if you fall short, what better way is there to live?

In Loving Memory, Mr Lee Kuan Yew




 
Today is day 6 of national mourning.
As the week is ending, this also marks the second last day to bid farewell to our founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. For the past few days, we've been reading news of how he fought for Singapore's independence. An ordinary man who led an extra-ordinary life. There's so much to learn from him. People from all walks of life, regardless of language, race or religion went to the Parliament House to pay their last respect. Leaders from all over the world, tribute to our founding father. Being able to live and witness the changed he did is indescribable. The massive crowd and long wait at the Padang allowed me to see a different side of Singaporeans. A spirit we never knew existed in Singaporeans until now. Touched beyond words by the volunteers and army boys distributing water, food etc. Despite late in the night, they did what they could with a smile. No doubt that the queue was difficult. The wait was crazy, but never once I feel like giving up. I was determined to do what I could do, to pay my last respect. And I am so proud of being a part of it. As we reached the parliament house, our steps were heavy and slow. I've never thought his passing could affect me. While we mourn the passing of one of the greatest leader in the world, we celebrate his life and his incalculable contributions to Singapore and its people.
 
Rest in peace. 
 
 
 Finally.
