Blackbird Café has been around for a couple of years already but for some reason, we kept missing the golden timing for brunch! After my appointment with my gynae at Mount Elizabeth, we were kinda racking our brains thinking about what to eat. Too many choices when you are in town! And then I finally remembered about Blackbird Café which is located along Handy Road, in between Plaza Singapura and The Cathay! 🙂
The hubs called to find out when’s the last order for brunch before we made our way there. After placing our orders, we were told that we had to wait for about 20 minutes for our food because there was a private event going on. Okaaay~
At least they made an effort to serve us our drinks first. Go Bananas ($9) for him and Mango Delight ($9) for me. Yummilicious and healthy fruit smoothies that weren’t overly sweet.
The many faces of misterchewy. I had commented that he badly needed a haircut. LOL.
I realized that misterchewy likes to order his food in big portions because he’s almost always ordering “Big Breakfast” if there’s one on the brunch menu. Sadly, the portion of the Big Breakie ($19) seemed miserable. He had chosen scrambled eggs, which came with bacon, a sausage, hash cake, tomato and sourdough bread on top of baked beans. The hubs wasn’t used to the hash cake as its texture was too soft and mushy for his liking. I suppose the rest of the items were ok for him but he didn’t look very satisfied.
I know I shouldn’t be eating anything that’s not fully cooked at this moment but I wasn’t able to resist the idea of having Eggs Benny (14.80) for brunch. Besides, my gynae advised me to eat eggs everyday 😛 Likewise for me, I was a little taken aback by its meagre size. I chose Portobello mushrooms over smoked salmon and bacon. Taste wise, it was mediocre as well. Nothing to shout about. Guess we won’t be back anytime soon!
