Symmetry Cafe Revisited @ Jalan Kubor

Symmetry has become my official brunch place this year, clocking in 4 visits in a span of half a year and well more, with the way that I'm spreading the word for them. With the 3rd and 4th visit concluded in this entry, I would have tried nearly every item on their menu - perhaps time to include new items or for me to upgrade to dinner!

Taking an artistic swipe at the holy.

counter

One day I'll sit by the counter to dine!

bike

Still loving their corners!

soup

Portobello Mushroom Soup ($16)

Deconstructed mushroom soup with a piping hot earthy soup to go with truffled mushrooms, poached egg and toast - loved how the elements came together and soup is not just cream of mushroom soup.

Sold.

caesar salad

Symmetry Caesar Salad ($18)
Romaine lettuce, caesar dressing, pancetta, quail egg, toast, smoked salmon

Caesar salad hardly goes wrong and likewise for this, it was safe with an adventurous streak with quail eggs used to up the cholesterol levels by a few notches.

prawn popcorns

Prawn Popcorn ($14)
Wasabi seaweed remoulade

Same old kind of delicious, hence the repeats.

prawn popcorn

Delicious in morsels. 

corn fritata

Corn Fritata ($17)
Potato, crab, avocado, spring onion, tomato, cheese, corn, egg, mesclun

A new contender on the dining plate with crab and corn in one pancake. Flavour was on the flat side for this so not a fan, unfortunately.

Bacon and Cheese Rissoles ($16)
Apple cider, onion dip

Bacon yes, cheese no. These rissoles are potato balls with a delicious dip. 

big breakfast

Big Breakfast ($24)
2 eggs, maple glazed bacon, chicken cheese sausage, hash potato, mushroom, tomato, mesclun, jam, toast

I consider this Farmer's breakfast with everything from the barn on the plate - weep for the pigs really, poor hogs ending up as bacon and chickens in a sausage. Decently portioned for two small eaters, a sunny way to start the day methinks.

truffle eggs

Truffle Eggs Mushroom ($21)
Truffle, scrambled eggs, saute wild mushrooms, tomato, hash potato, mesclun, jam, toast

Nothing to fault with well done scrambled eggs and toast. Best of all, truffle was empowering in a pleasant way.

croissant


Pork Collar Croissant ($19)
Watercress, pork collar, caramelised onion, hickory sauce


pork collar

I hold my croissants in high regard, and expect a great deal out of them. Perhaps Delifrance has to be blamed for the wrong education that a good sandwich needs to have ingredients spilling over, this pork collar croissant failed for bland sliced pork collar and an equally weak croissant to match.

Pesto ($22)
Linguine pasta, hazelnut basil pesto, grana padano, poached egg, chicken, courgette

In all the complexity, this was pesto pasta with chicken. As ordinary as it sounds - even the runny poached egg could not save it.

Flan ($23)
Pork cheek, saute wild mushrooms, onion, poached egg, cream, parmesan, pommery mustard

I can never get enough of this stunning number - just beware of the overload it can cause. 

waffles

Waffle ($21)

I am a fan of their waffles - presentation seemed to have improved. Full marks then!

Almost the full menu attempted, I marvel at myself and companions for being so game.

I can never quite get over ordering tea - well how bad can tea from a satchet taste?

banana milkshake

Nectar ($10)

A banana milkshake with a dash of honey - I suppose banana milkshakes could pass off as a breakfast item on its own.

Strawberry Lemonade ($12) 

Mascerated strawberries made this zingy drink easy to love - a delicate balance of sweet and sour!

drinks

If all else fails, straight off from a glass bottle should not!

americano

Loving these gingerbread men!

latte

Latte for the pal whose wife promptly chomped off the gingerbread man. Biscuit over coffee for the ladies!

calpis soda

Calpis Soda ($6)

Because I ran out of drinks to attempt - perhaps milkshakes next.

cake bx

An easy to miss cake cabinet.

Somehow I always get lost in their cafe dreaming of the next big holiday or perhaps to San Fran for a first hand experience of these indie cafes.

murals

Sitting outside brought a completely new experience too - a tip, avoid post rainy meals or risk having delays showers of blessings from the trees above.
