food for thought @ SBG

Local breakfast sets at $5 a pop.
And just for the early risers having breakfast before 10am,
have an add-on for a local coffee or tea at $1

Mee rebus


The noodles had a good bite.
The gravy was substantial and the ingredients evident.
The fibres of galangal, fragrance of peanut and thick taste of mashed sweet and regular potatoes.
I would've liked it more savoury than sweet though.
And you wouldn't like this if you were a carnivore.
No meat in sight!


Ooh.
Rich.
Curried.


Chicken laksa.
Slippery fat laksa noodles in a thick coconut spicy gravy.
Too heavy for breakfast!


Garlic mushrooms.
A substantial side portion at just $3.



A side option to be added on to my Basic works at $7.
That's a $10 breakfast plate.
That's pretty good value for the Tanglin area if you're asking me. :)
I would've liked my bacon crisped.
These were barely browned at the edges.
Hmm.
Aside from that,
the thick toast with butter was redolent with the fragrance of butter, soft and chewy all at the same time.
They have small dollops of kaya and peanut butter at the counter tops if you wanted some bread spread. :)
The scrambled eggs were done just right.

Although that was a 45 minute queue plus wait on a busy Hari Raya Haji Friday morning,
I'm pleased with my introduction of a new dining option to my parents.
But I'd think twice about morning exercise.
It started with THIS!
I'm too full to walk anywhere already. :p

Food for Thought @ Botanical Gardens


Life. Made simple.









What's on your table?
Everything looks like a treat. :)


But there was just us three.
Two orders of mee rebus.
No meat?
The sauce was good though.
Not overwhelmingly starchy.
Ample.
Savoury sweet.


Almond pesto chicken burger with fries.
The fries were fat and crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside.
Best for sharing and maybe insufficient for that.
The chicken was generous, with a fillet and a half but mine were overfried.
I would've liked more pesto sauce.
A bit more crunchy greens and another juicy tomato slice maybe?
And then I could already be asking for an extra salad. :p

A happy place for brunch.
Love the high ceilings.
The huge tables.
Come on, share a table.
Or take a short wait for a private one.

The spacious walkways.
I'm hardly claustrophobic here.
Have a conversation.
No one's that close to hear you. :)

Everyone's in the same mood.
Relaxed. Laidback.
You're here because you are learning to
Rule 1. Savour every moment
That's an important life lesson hey.
