Bellwethers - Brunching in a Bar

Nestled in a corner of Singapore’s oldest red light district, Bellwethers Bistro Bar adds a modern touch to the culturally rich enclave of Little India. Bellwethers Bistro Bar emphasizes simplicity in its design and focuses on allowing customers to bask in the edgy and unpretentious cultural heritage of the locale. 

Located just on the fringe of the city, Desker Road is a quirky and unconventional neighborhood rich in history and full of color. The appeal lies in its raw, edgy feel and the idiosyncratic characters who form the backdrop of this unique environment. 

This avant-garde neighborhood transports us out of the immaculate, pristine, constructed city that Singapore has long been both highly acclaimed and maligned for. Away from the tall skyscrapers and glitzy shopping malls, Desker Road is lined with beautifully restored shop houses that exude a quaint Peranakan charm. Bellwethers’ goal is to create a quirky and offbeat watering hole away from the humdrum of Singapore’s concrete jungle and bring cool to this charming hidden gem. 
 

Bellwethers Bistro Bar
120 Desker Road
Singapore 209639
Tel; 6297 9066

Nearest MRT: Farrer Park MRT(NE8) / Lavender MRT(EW11)
Fish & Chip ($15)

Pancakes ($9) with Bacon ($3)

Eggs Benedict ($15)

Beef Pie ($14)

Foie gras and pickled mushrooms ($14)

Big Breakfast($18)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hits & Miss Here. While I love The Big Breakfast and the Egg Benedict, The Foie Gras was tough and the pancakes lack the aroma to make me want to go for it again. Atmosphere is pretty good, pretty quiet area for a real relaxing brunch.

Bukit Timah Cafe Hop - Assembly

I finally got my butt to the west with my ladies for a Cafe hopping day in Bukit Timah! this round we visited a total of 5 Cafes within 8 Hours +/- and I must say I enjoyed every single second of it! ♥ Our official Hashtag of the say was #bukittimahcafehop so you can look that up on instagram to have a peek at where we visited and what we had. I'm going to blog about them slowly. So first up, it's Assembly!

Assembly
26 Evans Lodge
Singapore 259367
Tuesday - Sunday 8am - 7pm
(closed on Mondays)

I've heard so much about assembly and I did not expect it to be so cosy! But do not belittle this quaint cafe here. It's almost full house at 10am on a Sunday Morning! Who wakes up this early on a Sunday? Definitely not me, But I might convert if assembly is near my house, I love the earthy and cosy feel, almost dreamlike, the coffee smell that rushes into your nose when you step in... Pure Bliss.

Their scrambled eggs are to die for. Such fluffiness and smooth to the palete, paired with the fresh crunchy yet doughy Crossiant and the smoked salmon. A hearty breakfast which I do not mind to wake up to everyday. I wish I could order a side of the scrambled eggs!

All the Coffee related drinks here at Assembly will not disappoint! Smooth and aromatic, definitely nothing near acidic, just the way I love my Coffee. Definitely one of the best coffee I've had in a while. If its not for the distance, I would pop by Assembly as much as I can to get my fix.

Check out #bukittimahcafehop for more yum tum photos! If you are in Bukit Timah area, why not hashtag this too? Lets spread the word around about the yummy food around! :)

[F.T] Capella - The Knolls Easter Brunch Special

Hello.

Is this the most beautiful view you have ever seen for awhile now? I can stare at it the whole day, I have it on my laptop and my iPhone as default Wallpaper. That's how much I love it. You cannot imagine how excited I was when this beautiful view was present before my very eyeballs. O-O Okay sorry I side tracked..


Enjoy the Alfresco dining area, shaded and well ventilated with the natural breeze and enjoy the view of the South China Sea with special appearance by peacocks and their family walking along side. Or opt for the indoor dining option where you get pretty well lit table while surrounded by the buffet spread. There is even a Private dining room that can hold up to 10 pax, perfect for a simple family gathering? :)

The spread at The Knolls, Capella is Stunning. 5 Different types of Oysters such as Gillardeau, Pousse en Clair and Belon opened freshly on the spot, scallops, Sashimi, Sushi, Foie Gras Popsicle and a live station serving freshly made Blini. Yes, you did not read it wrong, Foie Gras Popsicle is Foie Gras coated with Dark chocolate and sprinkled with some nuts. Definitely a MUST TRY as it's such a unique combination, yet so wonderful.

They have a Cheese Trolley, Nacho Cheese Dip with cheese, Lobster Salad, Tuna Salad and Breads and Fruits and LOADS of Desserts that you would want to have a little of everything, Which you should!

Yes, keep scrolling, we are not done yet.. :) Capella is famous for their mediterranean spread of barbeque meat and Fresh seafood but my visit this time round was for their Easter Specials proudly presented to you by Excutive Chef David Nicolas Senia!

Price Tag:
Sunday Brunch with Free Flow of champagne & Wine will be priced at $228++ (No kids will be able to enjoy this, sorry) If you do not need free flow champagne & wine, then it will be $188++ per Adult and $118++ per Child between 7-12 Years Old and $78++ per Child between 4-6 Years Old, you will get to enjoy coffee, tea, soft drinks and mineral water.


Let's take a look at the Easter Brunch Specials!

At $80/kg, This fish does not disappoint! Firm texture but soft on the palette, one of my favourites.

Salt baked Chicken comes in flavours such as Olive and Tomato flavour. Each piece of chicken is tender and juicy, it is not like any other chicken I have tasted. It was fun hacking the domes of salt, I felt like Thor. 


The Knolls specially selected Milk-Fed Baby Lambs from France for their special Easter Menu. The various parts are prepared in different cooking methods, resting on a bed of couscous. You get to enjoy the ribs that fall off the bones tender or the other parts of the lamb which are all presented before your very eyes.

Easter Special Wine Selection, My personal favourite is the Moscato D'Asti.


What's wine without cheese and what is cheese without wine, you get it? The Knolls serves up quite a extensive range of cheese. I am a total cheese idiot, when presented with all these cheese, I had to ask my fellow diners on where do I begin or how do I pair them with. I enjoyed every piece of cheese that went into my mouth, Creamy or Nutty, I like them all!

Yes, I did mention that The Knolls have a rather extensive dessert menu and I am not joking. Every piece of their dessert is so beautifully crafted you would feel obliged to snap a photo or 2 before diving in. I wished I had more stomach space to try every single one of them, but non of those I tried were disappointing.






These Are Not ALL, be there yourself to enjoy it!

It is definitely a wonderful experience at The Knolls, Capella. Thank you Sarah for the invite.
Although the price tag is pretty high, But it is definitely worth the indulgence once in a while, or once a year?
But to enjoy the special Lamb, Fish and Wine/Champagne selection, remember to book yourself a seat this Easter!
