| Welcome to Symmetry Street |
A while back during one of food tasting session, I had a chat with a
passionate “Pastry Chef Blogger”, about what is her pick for a
must try cafe in Singapore. Symmetry Cafe was her pick.
 |
| Chai Tea Latte |
Following her recommendation we decided to give this cafe a try on a
Saturday Morning. Without knowing, it was actually nearby where LD's
pick for food reflexology in SG. Symmetry Cafe is a new breed of
cafes in Singapore that are heavily influenced by the Australian
casual dining trends. It is a cafe by day and morph into casual
restaurant bar by night. Definition of bar, is that alcohol is
definitely involve here. A place for people to gather to enjoy a
great meal and drinks. Food sharing are welcome.

We walk in without reservation that morning and was lucky enough to
get a table. The service staff politely inform us that due to prior
reservation, we need to vacate the table at a certain time. No
problemo, so we quickly placed our brunch order.
 |
| The Brunch Menu |
Hickory Corned Beef & Hash ($22) catch my eyes, while LD's pick
Truffle Egg Mushroom ($21) with extra hash brown. My caffeine pick
was Latte and LD's goes for Chai Tea Latte and Calpis Soda drink.

| Hickory Corned Beef & Hash |
My Corned Beef served in a cast iron pan. Food is kind of
interesting, as it looked like it is all mash up together, but all
the ingredients gel well. I poke the egg to allow the yolk to ooze to
the corned beef, and using my bread to scoop it. The corned beef is
flavourful and not salty, while the potatoes and salad give a
different texture to the dish. The bread used here has a similar
texture to the soft colourful traditional coffeeshop bread. It will
be good if there is another slice of bread to polish up the proteins.

LD's Truffle Egg Mushroom comes with scrambled eggs, sautéed
mushrooms, truffle oil, berries butter and toast. Served on a long
plate, the presentation is just gorgeous. The eggs are fluffy and the
mushrooms are nicely executed, however she was a little taken back by
the pungent smell of the truffle oil. It seems the kitchen was a
little too generous with it. The hash browns are crispy and the
berries butter goes down well with the toast.

The latte
is smooth and well balanced. While the Chai Tea Latte is a bit on the
sweet side and lack of cinnamon according to LD. We both enjoy the
calpis soda, although it is slightly flat, missing the carbonated
feel of soda.

Service
was good and polite, however it can be slightly hard to catch their
attention. The ambiance here is very good. Crowded yet relaxing with
lounge music playing in the background. They try to maximise the
space available with counter seats as well. We manage to check out
before the customers that reserved the table arrives.
The Indoor Dining Area
Overall,
Symmetry Cafe / Restaurant Bar are one of the best cafe that we tried
this year. The food is great and the same can be said about the
atmosphere. The best part, you can actually make reservation online,
so you won't get disappointed. Drinks price for brunch is on the high
side, more like bar price instead of cafe. Thanks Fundamentally Flawed for the recommendations. Cheers!!
