I got to
know about Sunday Market from Rubbish Eat Rubbish Grow review when I
was looking for a brunch place. Since our first visit, Little Devil
and I went back there three times in the past two months and we just
can't get enough of the place and it is so near our place.

Located
at Lim Tua Tow Road, this area can be consider one of the foodie
cluster, especially those shop houses facing Upper Serangoon Road.
Luckily Sunday Market is located in the next block, where it is
easier to get car park and there is valet available during certain
nights.

First
impression, from the outside, it is quite funky. The signboard is a
combination of red and white is more like a Chinese restaurant in Western countries instead of cafe. Once you are in, the décor is unique, minimalistic
but making you feel like you are dining outdoor. The crowd just make
it feels lively. Not sure why, but it seems to be in trend that lots
of cafe like to hang oldies stuff such as bicycle, chair, TV, etc.
from their ceiling.

So what
are the must try items here:
Crispy
Duck Leg Confit ($17.90). Move over French Bistro, most newbies
cafe in Singapore has mastered this dish. The same can be said here,
nicely executed. The skin is crispy, the meat is tender, flavourful
and not too salty. While duck confit supposed to be soak in duck fat
during the marinating process, you don't feel the oiliness here. The
potato is crisp, goes well with the brown sauce and salad.

Pulled
Duck Sandwich ($13.90). Another well executed duck dish here,
the use brioche bread packs more flavour to the dish. It was pan
fried at first, so it is crispy, and you can feel the crunchiness of
the duck in the sandwich as well. The creamy slaw and brown sauce
bind the whole sandwich together. Good for light bite.

French
Toast with BBQ Chicken ($12.90). This is a modern fusion dish
with Thai twist. The grilled chicken is sweet, tender and succulent.
Using the same brioche bread for French toast is the right choice.
The fried egg is good and the sriracha sauce give a unique twist to
the dish.

Bangkok
Toast ($10.90). One of the best desserts here with awesome
presentations. The brioche is flavoured with cinnamon (very light)
and icing sugar. Green tea custard and Thai Milk tea ice cream are
have a subtle hint of sweetness and very good to accompany the toast.
Once the ice cream melts, it become a creamy milk shake.

Waffle
with Ice Cream ($9.50 – double scoop). The waffle is thick and
crispy. We tried Belgium Chocolate and Thai Milk Tea ice cream. Both
are creamy and delicious, best of all it is not overly sweet. Yum Yum

For
drinks, the caffeine is very average. Don't expect those artisan
coffee, as it is not their focus here. (Hint to management, Can we
get better coffee??). I personally like their Lemmy Lemonade ($5.90).
This lemonade is just refreshingly tangy. Imported from New Zealand,
this drink is organic (not that I really care) and it just tasted
awesome. Thai Milk tea is also a favourite but it can be a bit sweet
if you don’t have a sweet tooth.

Service
is fast and friendly. After they took your order, they will provide
you with the cutlery and the anticipation of getting your grub soon.
From the way it looks, the utensils and cutleries are from Thailand.
The Average Coffee |
Overall,
Sunday Market is going to be our cafe of choice in 2014. The food is
excellent and value for money. We really enjoy the comfortable
atmosphere here and best of all you don't need to wait for long to
get a seat. Well, you definitely see us more often here. Cheers!!
