Cali Cafe- One Rochester (Brunch!)

Had a $20 for $40 groupon for Cali Cafe, and rly wanted to spend time with the brother & Jac so we met up for brunch before cell on sat :-) 

It's situated at One Rochester, a 5 min walk away from Buona Vista MRT station, making it really convenient to get to. Picked an outdoor seat because the weather was rly nice (so was the view!) although I didnt really catch any snapshots of that :) 

Really missed those two, reminded me of the importance of carving time out because people matter. :) 

Gid had the All Day Breakfast- 19.90 set! When it arrived he said that the plating had changed! (did not know he's been here twice before!) Thought the scrambled eggs resembled omelette abit more, so if you prefer your eggs runner it'd probably be good to let them know! I enjoyed the walnut bread as well :-) 

Jac had the In Coming Burger With Cheese- 18.90. Am not a fan of beef in general, but tried some anyway! Her medium rare order was done really well, and the buns were well toasted :) We also really like the fries which were thick, chunky and crispy! (Like the Mos Burger ones but better :-)) 

Had the Smokin' Turkey & Mango Wrap- 16 myself :) it comes either in wrap form or sandwich form (on focaccia bread) so you can pick whichever you prefer! I loved the wrap! they were really generous with the turkey, and the salsa inside really complemented it. :) Came with nachos and guacamole which is always great :) It was reallyyyy filling! 

Some pictures of the menu cos I couldnt find it online at all! Heard rave reviews of their All-day-breakfast pizza so we'll be back for that hopefully :)

They also serve a wide range of smoothies/ juices although they are on the pricy side! 

Semi-shared a scoop of Ben & Jerry's (which is just next door!) after :) and headed off! 

Total bill came up to 54 so I guess the 30 for 60 groupon might have been a better option :-) 

But I had a lovely morning with them. Honest conversations are always :-)

Da Paolo Bistro Bar Brunch- One Rochester

Sunday family brunch at da paolo one rochester! also bc it is near school (but the last of near-school brunches bc ifg is over!) although I really really enjoyed it :-) 

didnt take pics of the place but it was quite pretty esp if you get an outdoor seat! 

service was kinda slow that day so we were all starving possibly cos they were really full/ my dad thought maybe they forgot our orders! 

sister was freezing and got a cafe latte which was ~ 

This was reaaally really yummy! Grilled Wagyu Beef Burger- 34 in homemade Focaccia with Parma Ham, Caramelized Onions, Porcini Mushrooms & Fries which my brother ordered and I stole some of cos I was still hungry after finishing my food. Beef was really juicy and the onions were really good :>  

although my brother did remark that it wasn't as good as the burger at &Made! 

Dad's Bistro Breakfast- 28 Bacon, mushrooms, beans, tomato, mixed salad & choice of organic eggs (poached)! 

Really liked my Sauteed Crab & Watercress- 24 with Poached Organic Egg, Zucchini Quinoa and Hollandaise. First time having quinoa but i rly liked it the crabcake was amazing & well-seasoned!! 

Sister's Smoked Salmon & Avocado- 24 with Baby Asparagus, Poached Organic Egg, Homemade Focaccia, Cherry Tomatoes & Cream cheese sauce (which was really nice too- to our surprise). Sister asked for a side of hollandaise in case the cream cheese was strange but it wasnt! Gladly added some onto my quinoa :-)  

This is probably the dessert that surprised us all (& I would def order again if I came back!) 

Homemade Baileys Gelato sandwiched between Chocolate Cake served with Mint- 15. I was apprehensive about the icecream at first but it was really so good with the chocolate cake & mint sauce!! 

Banana Fritters with Caramel Sauce & Homemade Burnt Milk Gelato - 15 

This was alright the gelato was more icy than creamy- we concurred that it tasted more burnt than burnt milk!

Two Fifteen Kitchen- Sunday Brunch Set

Visited 2Fifteen Kitchen at One Rochester for Brunch on Sunday with the fam :)

Decided we all had to get the Brunch Sets- at $30/pax since it was really worth it- came with a drink, bread basket, appetiser, egg dish, main & dessert! 

A pic of the place :) it was pretty nice and kinda swanky looking :) 

this was my glass of apple juice! 

Bread basket! With baguette & mini croissants.  

the croissant was really really good, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside :) 

Medley of Garden Mesclun- we were all raving about the presentation! The seasoning of the salad was done so well, the salad even had caramelised apples below that complemented it! 

Warm Salad of Foie Gras with Grape Petite Salad! The sear on the foie gras was really good :) 

Dad had the soup pot! Wasn't spectacular/fantastic would recommend the other appetisers :) 

The Breakfast Egg! 62DegCelsius Egg with Salmon Roe and Roasted Tomato. This was so so good! Esp with the toast :) Reminded us abit of soft boiled eggs and toast! 

Onto the mains! 

This was the Grilled Lamb T-Bone. Although I'm not much of a lamb fan I really enjoyed this! The lamb was tender/cooked very well :) 

I had the Crabmeat & Pumpkin Macaroni & Cheese! Was slightly disappointed that there weren't pieces of pumpkin like I expected, but instead just pumpkin infused/flavoured sauce. There were crab bits here and there (not v much!) but I still enjoyed the dish on the whole :) Wasn't gelat like most other cream-based dishes!  

This was the Pan-Seared Pork Collar with Caramelised Apple & Pasta! 

I think this was our least favourite dish on the whole. Pork was slightly tough, and tasted porky, and the pasta wasn't outstanding either. 

Desserts on the other hand were all really good :) 

This was the Crepe Suzette with Grand Marnier Orange Sauce. 

Creme Brûlée! The plates were all sooo pretty! 

Had two huge scoops of yam & coconut ice-cream which I loved :) They even had toasted coconut/love-letter like biscuits sprinkled all over! 

Seasonal dessert was a cheesecake with coconut icecream :) 

On the whole it was a lovely brunch! Super worth the price, with great ambience :)
Will be back (hopefully!)
