Brunch @ Hatched - Pancakes Medium Rare


Needed a good breakkie the day before my race. Hatched was chosen considering the location and the interesting name that ties to eggs (im a egg lover fyi!). A Coffee lover as well... Darn! Had a near missed for that nespresso machine during my D&D lucky draw. =(


Eggs Benedict is the default choice for many when it comes to breakfast. Sad to say, I had my first Eggs Benedict in Aussieland, and ever since then, it's not that I want to compare, but but but... humans just love to compare, don't we? We compare houses, cars, husbands, wives, gfs, bfs, bffs, jobs... maybe this is a sweeping statement... oh... so ever since then... i have not found one that is comparable... or come close. The poached eggs are too close tooooo runny, it is supposed to be runny, but not the state of runniness and rawness... wheres the hollandaise sauce?! I like my eggs benedict salty... this is not.



Pancakes was a sobz. I ate a few mouthful and i go "wow!"! They actually have whipped cream inside the pancakes??? I was too naive... haha. only did i later realised that it was not half-cooked. So i asked the staff if this is supposed to be that way ( in a very tactful and friendly manner of course, hehe), but she was very apologetical, and immediately got me a new one... The new plate of hot pipping pancakes arrived! it was cooked, safe for humans to eat... no "whipped cream". I like it thick and fluffy...this should be how pancakes are to be like... not some "hotcakes" that claim to be pancakes. But something is missing, the taste. I missed the pancakes i had in Pancake Parlour... a strong hint of vanilla and milk taste!

anyway, they gave me a 50% off the pancakes out of goodwill... Some people were telling me that they should give the whole meal free, or even the pancakes free, for I have eaten quite a bit of the "whipped cream"

This is the one... The legendary Country Pancakes from Pancake Parlour from somewhere down south... you are deeply missed.

Spaghetti @ Bukit Timah Hawker Centre

Mien
Specialise in Pasta, and price range from $3.50 to $4.00.

Chicken Pesto

The Pesto is pretty good, rich in herbs and garlic taste, but a tat too oily. Although its Chicken Pesto, theres not much chicken slices in it....

Seafood Pasta in Tomato Sauce

This is better... less oily... or maybe no oil at all! But its a bit too wet. And just like chicken pesto with few chicken, this has few seafood...

As the stall of the name is "Mien", i guess the nice thing about it is just really the "mien" or pasta... not so much about the meat that is in it.

Paper-wrapped chicken

Since i am a protein lover, how can i just have carbs without any protein? So i ordered Paper-wrapped chicken, from some stall, and apparently, this stall's paper-wrapped chicken is famous! 5 pieces cost $4... The Chili Sauce is very nice... but... as i tear the paper off... a massive amount of oil oozes out... but its really yummy...

Island Creamery

Island Creamery

After hearing so many people around me saying how good how great how fantastic the ice cream over here is... i decided to "sin". Hopefully its worth the trip down and worth the sugar.

Apple Crumble and Teh-Tarik Ice Cream

The above is my orders, and 2 scoops of the above cost $4, single scoop will be $2.50. The Apple Crumple really have apples and crumbles in it, not just the taste. The Teh Tarik taste like real Teh - Tarik, just imagine frozen Teh-Tarik Ice Cream melts in your mouth into Teh - Tarik... splendid!

There are still many flavors, on top of the usual flavors like choco etc, they have other creations like Longan, Tiger Beer Sherbet, Pineapple Tart etc... Too many flavors to list down.. I wish i could eat all... but... too much sugar also not good... so peeps... keep ur sugar in check! eat once in a while only k!? :)


Wall of Pictures

They have many many picures of customers on their wall... see all the happy faces... tts what Island Creamery can do to you...! can u spot me?




























nah... im not there...
