Enjoyable coffee. Looks like they use Common Man Coffee Roasters beans.

I'm a big fan of Tiong Bahru and I'd been recommended Forty Hands by a brunch loving friend. I went for their Eggs Benedict with organic bacon and really enjoyed the addition of baby spinach leaves on their thin toasted muffin base. The eggs were of good quality but perhaps slightly under poached and a little too runny for my liking. I really liked the addition of diced roasted potatoes to mop up the egg yoke and hollandaise sauce but would have preferred them not to be as spicy.

Not one of the best laid out Eggs Florentine I've been presented. I didn't enjoy the sachet of butter being thrown in with the dish. That aside, the potato and spinach base hidden beneath the poached eggs aided the overall flavours and I enjoyed the creamy hollandaise sauce. The generous serving of smoked salmon drizzled in lemon juice proved a tasty addition and the eggs were runny but of relatively low quality.

A couple of friends had recommended the Privé Eggs Benedict and so I was keen to see how it rated. The ham and streaky bacon on top of the toasted English muffin base were delicious. Both eggs were well poached to the point where the yoke remained a little runny and the flavours combined well with the rocket salad. The glazed hollandaise sauce was lacking a little in flavour which was really the only downside to what was otherwise very good dish.

I'd been meaning to drop by Common Man Coffee Roasters for a while and was told to arrive in good time on Saturday morning to avoid a queue. Their Organic Eggs Benedict was beautifully presented. I really enjoyed the well poached organic eggs on the sourdough base. The addition of ox cheek is to be applauded for its originality but was a little too rich in taste for my liking at that time of the morning. The chive hollandaise sauce was good and I enjoyed the accompanying arugula salad.

I like the indie/hippy vibe of this cafe and the eclectic mix of food and drinks on offer. I was keen to try their Eggs Benedict but decided on their Eggs Royale in the end as I'm not a big fan of turkey ham. I enjoyed the toasted focaccia base alongside the smoked salmon which was of decent quality. Unfortunately the poached eggs were of low quality and the hollandaise sauce was a little bland and frugally applied. I enjoyed the green salad but will not be rushing back for this particular dish.

I've been to their Haji Lane branch a couple of times for a quick lunch time burger. They have a wide selection of gourmet burgers and I've tried both their Berg with Cheese, and their Miss Piggy. While both burgers satisfied my craving each time, I was not hugely impressed with the quality of their meat although I enjoyed their Berg's Sauce. I like the concept but have seen it done much better elsewhere.

I really like the atmosphere of this restaurant which is buzzing at lunch times during the week. Their set menu is a favourite of mine for working lunches and I tend to go for the Black Swan Burger when visiting towards the end of a busy week. They don't try to over complicate the burger and the ingredients they use are fresh and delicious, particularly the beef itself. Well worth visiting for this dish alone.

I recommend reserving a table on the deck outside overlooking Marina Bay. When it came to their choice of burgers, I went for the "To Die For" and asked for it to be cooked medium rare. The meat was juicy and cooked as requested. I enjoyed their special burger sauce in combination with the melted cheddar cheese. The chips were crispy and I really enjoyed the addition of rosemary and parmesan to enhance their flavour. A simple and satisfactory burger that comes with a great view.

One of my favourite cafes in Singapore. I love their Smoked Salmon Benedict. Really original combination of ingredients which is beautifully presented and tastes delicious. Traditionalists might frown at the replacement of hollandaise with their hazelnut bernaise but I'm all for creativity around a traditional theme particularly when it tastes this good. The fresh smoked salmon, lightly toasted sultana bread, walnut and feta crumble provide a fantastic compliment to the poached eggs.

I'd visited previously for their coffee and had recently been persuaded by a friend to try their eggs benedict. I went for their Signature Eggs Benedict and they had a special promotion on so my accompanying coffee was free. I enjoyed the presentation of the dish and the combination of flavours and ingredients certainly didn't let it down. The slightly glazed hollandaise sauce had a little spice to it which blended well with the toasted brioche, prosciutto ham, and beautifully poached eggs.

I really like this cafe but was disappointed with their Avocado Eggs Benedict. Their hollandaise sauce was thick but had very little flavour. The eggs were runny but the yolk was a relatively pale yellow indicating poor quality in my eyes. The avocado was puréed and very thinly spread on the pork ham which was of low quality. The highlight of this dish was the fresh lettuce, cherry tomato and delicious balsamic dressing but that sadly wasn't the reason I'd visited.

Favourite burger in my local neighbourhood. Really juicy beef that goes well with the toasted bun. I tend to go in the evening for the Suprette Burger and enjoy the green salad and free-flow fries that comes with it for a slightly more expensive $25++.

One of the best sports watching bars in Singapore and always a good atmosphere for the big rugby matches. They do a good bangers and mash or burger. Worth booking in advance if going as a group and wanting a table with a well positioned view of the big screens.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere in this venue the two times I've visited. Great menu for food sharing - love the tacos. Good margaritas and mojitos too.

One of the first gourmet burgers that I laid my hands on in Singapore. It makes for one heck of a feast so best to have an empty stomach before approaching it. Really juicy beef which is well complemented by the melted cheese. The deep-fried onions didn't do much for me (would have preferred them caramelised) and I was not able to make my way through the extremely healthy portion of chips. An enjoyable burger although I;m now keen to try their Chargrilled Portobello option.

I really enjoyed the citrus hint to the hollandaise sauce. Both eggs were poached to the point where they just maintained the runnyness of their lovely golden orange yoke. The toasted english muffin base was well complimented by the crispy bacon rashers. A healthy fresh salad accompanied by cherry tomatoes and a balsamic dressing rounded off a very enjoyable experience.

My favourite brunch venue in South West London. Has a really nostalgic feel which never seems to change and serves a hearty brunch.

Love the atmosphere and laid back nature of this place. Attracts a regular crowd who provide a good sense of traditional London life.
