Easily one of my favourite restaurant! Nothing but praises for this absolutely lovely place.

This restaurant is great for people who want to get away from the city buzz (like me). Its something like Dempsey Hill, but definitely less crowded. Located along Tanglin Road (amid the embassies), its a little walk uphill if you are dropping off at the bus stop along the road.  Otherwise, it’d be good to drive, there’s free parking (and ample,at that)! Outdoor sitting allows a greenery view, great for nature lovers. Very pleasant and peaceful.  It kinda makes you forget you’re in busy Singapore.

I was there for brunch and I immediately fell in love with their menu. I settled for an Eggs Benny which was simply irresistible. Its a waffle with corn,syrup and a delicious yellow runny egg. It was a little rich though, so it might be a good idea to share (but I believe guys with a hearty appetite like Donovan might enjoy it alone!). My partner ordered a British Brekkie which seemed pretty normal to me with sausages, toasted bread and a sunny side up. He totally enjoyed it though. The highlight had got to be the Cinnamon Roll. It simply beats any other cinnamon-related pastry I’ve ever tried. It was so crispy yet soft. The sugar wasn’t too much, and the raisins went oh-so-well with it. It’s definitely a must-try! At $5 for a rather big piece, it just can’t get any cheaper. I tried their potato wedges (apparently, it wasn’t on the menu but my partner was just trying his luck) and it was awfully good and not too expensive. I ordered their latte as well and the foam came in a little heart shape. Perfect for girls who love little things like that :) Their coffee was very rich, and I guess it’d be perfect for coffee lovers who need that little boost at the start of their day. I enjoyed their mint lemonade too. It was too sour for my partner, but it worked well for me. Very refreshing for a hot day! Oh, and I understand that their sugar syrup was home-made :)

I am looking forward to more trips there, to try every single thing on their menu. I have never been there for dinner, but I reckon it would be good as well. Just blogging this makes me really hungry now!

Price wise, I would say its reasonable for their quality and quantity.

Reservations are HIGHLY recommended, because I always see a sneaking queue whenever I am there. I understand that they are always fully booked at least a week in advance, so please do book early to avoid disappointment! Singapore needs more restaurants like this! Stay tuned for my dinner update! And in case you can’t wait, here’s the restaurant’s info:
