Hidden at a corner of Jalan Kubor, we took ages to find this place for we parked at the opposite side of the road, not knowing that Jalan Kubor is divided into 2 different parts. We were walking around in circles before calling BFF and realising our mistake, lol!
Even though it was a cold & wet morning, I was greeted with a lovely smile upon entering the cafe. The small cafe was packed with people despite the heavy downpour. Symmetry cafe is a cafe by day & restaurant bar by night. Taking inspiration from both Australian casual dining culture and French cuisine, Symmetry presents an unique dining experience with an emphasis on sharing.
Corn Fritata ($17) served with potato, crab, avocado, spring onion, tomato, cheese, corn, egg and mesclun. The first few mouthfuls were good but after that, it tasted ordinary. Egg was unevenly distributed, with a full egg on one piece while the other had none. Not sure if this was intentional though.
Latte ($5.50) that came along with a gingerboy cookie :) I sneaked it off the saucer & ate it before Leecher could realise anything.
BFF went for Nectar Smoothie ($10) which was banana milkshake with honey. I'm not a fan of banana so I didn't try this. Banana to me is akin to jackfruit to Leecher. I had a bottle of Mandarino ($7), served with crushed ice. Instead of a usual plastic straw, the straw that came along was made of metal. I wasn't used to drinking from the metal straw, so I drank from the cup instead.
With BFF + Jonah! Less than 3 months to their big day & honestly, I can't wait! Haha, can't wait to marry BFF off, lol!
We ordered 3 items from their starters for trying. First up, we had prawn popcorn ($17) served with wasabi seaweed remoulade. Recommended by BFF, this was highly addictive!
Symmetry Caesar Salad($18) served with romaine lettuce, caesar dressing, pancetta, quial egg, toast and smoked salmon. Besides smoked salmon, you can choose either bacon or chicken.
Our brunch spread :) I'm kinda hungry now looking at these food pics.
Leecher ordered Flan ($23), which consisted of pork cheek, saute wild mushroom, onion, poached eggs, cream, parmesan and pommery mustard. This can be an overkill for the small eaters but Leecher managed it well, lol! I had a small bite of pork cheek and it was so tender that it melted in my mouth.
Jonah's Big breakfast ($24) set, served with 2 eggs of your choice, maple glazed bacon, chicken cheese sausage, hash potato, mushroom, tomato, mesclun, jam & toast. With so many items on the set, this is one hearty meal for the big eater :)
BFF ordered their pork collar croissant ($19), which came with watercress, pork collar, caramelized onion and hickory sauce. I tried a bite of the croissant and was slightly disappointed with it. The croissant lacked both flavour (doesn't smell buttery) nor the bite (not chewy).
Lastly, I knew I had to order this as soon as I spotted this item on the menu - truffle eggs mushroom ($21), a combination of 2 of my fave food :) Truffle scrambled eggs, served with saute wild mushroom, tomato, hash potato, mesclun, jam & toast. Instead of the usual butter, we had raspberry butter on our toast! Unfortunately for me, this dish wasn't up to my expectation :( Both the truffle eggs + saute mushrooms were too salty for me. What a pity!
with the hubby ❤❤❤
The rain had stopped by the time we stepped out of the cafe, so we took pics outside. We brought along the same Cath Kidson bag that I lugged home from London :)
Even though I was filled to the brim (I didn't even finish my main course!), we went ahead with dessert :) They offered a range of items for desserts, ranging from cakes to waffles to french toast. We ordered their waffles ($16) & boy, I love it!! The waffles were crispy& drizzled with maple syrup, so yummy! I had mine loaded with hazelnut chocolate + peanut butter :) 2 toppings that you can't go wrong with.
