As part of the celebration of Rebranding Traders Hotel Singapore to
Hotel Jen Singapore (Click here for the news), Little Devil and I got
invited for Super Brunch by Hotel Jen Singapore.
Cafebiz @ Hotel Jen Singapore |
Cafebiz is the main dining area at the lobby that cater for the
gastronomic satisfaction for the guests in Hotel Jen. Cafebiz served
ala-carte menu and buffet ranges from exotic Asian, International and
local cuisines.
The Bar |
Refreshing Fruit Infused Tea with Fruit Syrups (Mix & Match) |
As today is a special occasions for the Hotel Jen, the spread was
just superb and it is impossible to cover everything. However, we did
try our best and the following are our recommendations.
Healthy Fruit Infused Water |
Appetizer (Smoked Salmon, Prosciutto with Rock Melon, Foie Gras &
Apple Terrine and Sun Dried Tomatoes).
These dishes basically our wake up call and kick start our appetite
that was still in sleeping mode. Smoked salmon is good and fresh. The
thinly sliced prosciutto perfectly matched with rock melon. While the
apple provide the sweet touch to balance the smooth and velvety
terrine foie grass. LD enjoys the sundried tomatoes so much, she went
back for second round.

Roast Selection (Roast Beef and French Lamb Rack). Weekend
Roast always have a special place in my heart and my tummy. The roast
beef were between medium rare to medium and thinly sliced upon
serving. Mine was still pinkish and slightly bloody in the middle.
Just like the way I like it. The meat is just tender and succulent,
and goes well with the yorkshire pudding (kudos from LD on the
yorkshire pudding as it is baked to perfection) and the gravy. The
same apply to the lamb rack, tender and pink in the middle not over
roasted. The potato gratin can be better with more cheese in between
the potatoes. Yum Yum.
Roast Selection (Roast Beef and French Lamb Rack) |
Cantonese Roast Selection – Suckling Pig Only.
Where there are many options like roast pork, roast duck, char siew
and suckling pig, our recommendation that you just stick with the
suckling pig and forget about the rest. Paying ode to the little
piggy, it has minimum fat, crispy skin and tender and succulent meat.
Together with the sweet sauce, it is just a foodgasm.

Crispy Roast Pork, Roast Duck, Char Siew and The BEST CHOICE - Sucking Pig |
Desserts (Lemon Meringue Pie & Custard Puff). The
taste of the lemon curd and meringue has a nice balance between the
sweetness of the sugar and tanginess of the lemon curd. The curd is
light and smooth, sitting nicely on golden brown crust. The custard
puff is just light, smooth and not overly sweet. The apple strudel
and pear tart tartin are quite ordinary.

Finale (Wild Mushroom Risotto)
cooked by the GM of Hotel Jen, Mr. Clifford Weiner. Well you can
consider this as the start of the attraction. It was supposed to be
ready by 12.45 pm, however due to his other commitments, the risotto
was only ready by 1.15pm. Although we were slightly in food comma and
minimum stomach space available; The wait was indeed worth it. The
risotto cooked to al-dente, infused with flavourful broth. The wild
mushrooms were sautéed separately and only added upon servings. LD
just wished that it has more cheese in it but she still loves it as
it is her favourite Italian dish :)

While
they are quite a few a selections for sushi, sashimi and cold seafood
on offer, we find that it does not really give us the WOW feeling. I
have to say our tummy prefer something warm and hearty for brunch,
cold seafood dish are at odds with us that day. In case your
curiosity got the better of you, scroll down to after the restaurant
details to continue your gastronomic escapade. (Warning, don't look
at it when you are Hungry and near your bed time!!!)
Sushi, Sashimi and Cold Seafood Selection |
Notable
mention, for cheese lovers, they have this special Cheese Counter,
supplied by The Cheese Ark and according to LD, the cheese spread is
superb.
Overall,
it is indeed a Super Brunch. The buffet spread was extensive with a
few items that we mentioned are so much better compare to the rest.
We consider this one of the heaviest brunch we ever had.
Salad & Fruits Station |
