For those not familiar with the location, this eatery is not exactly easy to find. But if you made it a point to find out where the Association of Automobile, Singapore (AA) is, the eatery is just across AA, nestled amongst the row of heritage shophouses there. And it's exactly the location, I find, that gives this place an out-of-Singapore feel.

It was noon, but we were there for breakfast on a lazy Sunday. Yes, they serve all-day breakfast. The menu is extensive for breakfast items but not country-specific like Wild Honey. Traditional (but modernised by them?) English platter, pancakes (savoury or sweet), waffles, toast and both Croques make decision-making a while longer.

It's an occasional splurge, but on breakfast, that should be well worth it. Afterall, there's a saying: "Breakfast is golden."
