Symmetry - One of the great brunch places

It was late in the morning and we have run of places to eat. Back and forth, me and hubs eliminated each of our proposal. 

Exasperated i decide to turned to google. Symmetry came up, we explored the menu and finally something both of us can agreed on. We are fortunate that we got one of the few parking lots available without waiting too long. 

 The decor is Quirky! and reminds me of the movie the corpse bride.


The Flan (berkshire pork cheek, mushroom ragout, soubise sauce, mashed potatoes and prommety mustard) was highly recommended by other bloggers so i decided to give it a try. S$23
The flan dish is right on the spot on so many counts. The mushroom ragout is creamy and light. The pastry is thin and crispy. I suppose the 2 brown pieces refer to the pork cheek but i really can't quite decipher  the taste. Neither could hubs. The eggs is perfectly runny and the whole dish was phenomenal.
Rated:7.5/10

The Egg benedict (S$20)was described as poached eggs, aged cheddar, smoked bacon, cream baby spinach with onion hollandaise .
The Muffin is very well toasted and crunchy. The bacon is a perfect complement with the hollandaise sauce. This dish is savory, yet sweet and light. Its so delicious that Hubs cleaned out the plate in seconds.
Rated: 8/10




Between the 2 dishes, the egg benedict is the more delicious but the flan is the definitely more unique. I haven't seen it anywhere else yet. 

The cappucino (S$6.50) is served with the signature gingerbread man which i thought was cute. Taste wise, the brew is stronger and slightly bitter but still above average.

Kanshoku Ramen Bar -a ramen easy fix


The layout of the restaurant is very open. You can see people doing their shopping while enjoying your ramen.

We ordered the signature Kanshoku ramen (S$13.90). The broth is light and milky but still quite nice.

Rated: 6/10
The ohitashi xiao bai cai (S$4.90) caught my eye for its name. Though light on the palate but it is a cold dish. The xiao bai cai, seem to be glazed with oil and put in the fridge and taken out to serve. 
Rated: 5/10

The nagoya chicken wings (S$6.90) are last to be served but we have been forewarned that this may take a while. The sauce used to coat the chicken is in-between BBQ and chilli. I didn't really like this as its more sweet than spicy and the sauce makes the entire chicken a bit gooey.
