Harry's Champion Breakfast ($14++)
Juicy cheese sausage, crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, baked beans and toast, topped with sunny side-ups.

The bacon was super crispy like cracker. Crackling sounds when bitten. Just wish that it's less salty.

Accompanied with a glass of Latte ($6++)

Overall the food was not bad. I also served warm water by the staff too without being asked. I was surprised that there was no other customer besides me. It was cozy and enjoyable meal.

The place has outdoor al fresco dining by the river, as indoor aircon dining area. The indoor dine in area occupied 2 levels. The place was decorated tastefully in a dark and old school way. There was huge comfortable armchairs with small tables around, with bars on both levels.

Harry's 1992 ($16)
A bright vodka-based concoction with notes of the blue curacao, lychee liqueur, grapefruit juice and a splash of grenadine syrup
It was a 2 colour tone drink with blue on top and red below. When mixed, it turned into purple colour. It was quite a light fruity drink.

Harry's Bellini ($16)
Signature blended concoction where fruity notes of peach schnapps and sliced peaches are complemented by the grenadine syrup. Topped with bubbly for a celebration
The drink tasted stronger in alcohol than the first drink and kind of reminded me of papaya fruit juice surprisely.

Eye Candy ($16)
Enjoy fruity notes of vodka and watermelon liqueur shaken with lemon juice to balance the sweetness.
Compared to the other 2 drinks, it was much stronger in alcohol taste. It was quite a sweet fruity drink.

Cute-Cumber ($8)
Cucumber and Mint Mocktail
It was a refreshing ice blended drink.

Peach Cooler ($8)
Peach and Mint Mocktail
A refreshing soda drink with juicy slices of peach in it.

Harry's Signature Wings

Harry's Signature Wings ($13/ 6pcs, $19/ 10pcs)
Harry's signature treat when friends come by : crispy wings dressed with house blend of spices.
The chicken wings were juicy and tasted slightly spicy.

Crisps Royale ($17.90)
An extra punch to your crunch : Enjoy these crisps with breaded calamari and baby horse mackerels.
I like the small fried fish which kind of reminded me of smelt fish without the roes. Best had it with beer.

Soy-Glazed Beef Cubes

Soy-Glazed Beef Cubes ($18.90)
A man with a flavourful plate of crispy beef is a happy man indeed.
The meat was very tender and flavourful. I thought I was having sweet and sour pork at first.

Curried Mayo Pork Bites

Curried Mayo Pork Bites ($17.90)
Bite-size fun that packs a punch: tossed with masala spice mix and drizzled with curried mayonnaise. Perfect for popping with a game on screen.
The dish was mostly soft bones. There was barely any meat.

Mushroom & Truffle Oil Flatbread

Shriracha Seafood Flatbread ($24.90)
Sriracha-based flatbread topped with prawns and squid rings for a delicious treat!
Slightly spicy with juicy prawns.

Mushroom & Truffle Oil Flatbread ($23.90)
Crisp flatbread with aromatic garlic mayonnaise, field mushrooms and truffle oil for a pleasing earthiness
It smelt yummy with the truffle oil smell. Thinly crusted and filled with lots of sliced juicy mushrooms.

Cold Soba Summer Salad

Cold Soba Summer Salad ($16.90)
Chilled soba noodles with breaded mushrooms and a drizzle of truffle oil for a pleasing earthiness.
It was a refreshing dish with the noodles tossed with creamy sesame dressing and juicy sweet corns. The crispy and light breaded mushrooms gave the dish and extra crunch.

Slow-Braised Beef Cheeks ($26.90)
Tender, slow-cooked braised cheeks contrasted with onion rings, served on a bed of creamy mash.
The beef was super tender and tore out easily with just a fork. It tasted very flavourful too.

Fillet o' HARRY ($18.90)
Nachos-breaded Halibut topped with jalapeno cheese sauce and tartar sauce, held together between toasted burger buns. Served with chips and kimchi-slaw.
The breaded fish was crispy outside, while juicy inside. Interesting spicy coleslaw.

Croissant Croque Monsieur

Adult Cheesecake Sundae ($16)
A cheeky twist on everyone's favourite dessert with cheesecake and half a shot of Baileys on the side. Hic.
It tasted like vanilla ice cream with brownies in it, but one can feel the heat of the liquor flowing down the throat.

Overall the food was delicious and servings were huge that we could not finish the dishes. Maybe because the crowd was huge. Our orders of drinks took quite awhile to arrive and there was some mix up on certain orders too. There was free wifi available, so remember to ask the staffs for the password.

If you're in search of a place on the outskirts on town or at the CBD zone, Harry's Breakfast is an option not to be missed! At an alfresco along the Singapore River is Harry's, serving their recently launched breakfast from 8am till 10.30am daily.

Personally, it was nostalgic to be at Boat Quay and peaceful in the mornings (especially on that Saturday we were there).

And so, there we were! More than ready to dig into their 6 out of 8 dishes from their Modern European Comfort food for Breakfast - and boy, were we in for a treat on a Saturday morning!

First came the Croissant Croque Monsieur! A buttery and soft alternative with the croissant - (apparently) was a new twist deviating from its traditional ways by Harry's. Filled with Ham and Cheese plus topped with béchamel sauce for a subtle sweetness, this dish was definately a favourite for me. It was chewy and almost melted in my mouth can?!

There's also a Smoked Salmon and Scrambled Eggs Croissant for those who'd prefer something aside to ham.

Then came Assorted Muffins, 4 flavours were presented to us: Banana and Peanut Butter, Raisins and Walnuts, Granny Smith (Green Apple), and Raspberry with Cheese. Seems like they have them baked fresh daily and there're special flavours of the day which you can check with the staff. But I was happy with the selection presented to us! At $2.90 + Freshly Baked + Yummy Flavours = SOLD

I learnt something new about how the cut of this bread slices is called Soliders when the Soft Boiled Eggs & Marmite Soldiers was brought to us. Served with soft boiled eggs in a separately ceramic bowl with cover - this is best eaten once served and definatley is scrumptious alternative for our regular half-boiled eggs! Also the Soliders were cheesy... I like

Ham, Bacon and Mushroom Fry Up

Dig into the Chicken Pot Pie immediately once it's infront of you! The Chicken Pot Pie with its crisp exterior and creamy chicken interior is definately a one-plate wonder. The creamy chicken was surprisingly comforting on a fine Saturday morning. There's also Mushroom and Potatoes Velouté with Vegetables (option for Vegetarians).

Lastly, the Fries up were served - Ham, Bacon and Mushroom Fry Up and the Vegetable Fry Up (option for Vegetarians). 2 sunny side ups with an assortment of ingredients and 2 slices of toasted sourdough bread (which we made into a heart-shape because it's what you do. Perhaps it was all the meat from previous dishes or perhaps one just needs their vegetable intake for the day, I seemed to prefer the Vegetable Fry Up with fine beans, mushrooms, peas and cherry (to-make-you-merry) tomatoes. Broke the egg yolks on the bread for a softer experience

Harry's also has Harry's Champion Breakfast which has all-the-works with sausages, bacon, mushrooms, baked beans, eggs and toast - which we didn't get to try out. But look at all those that we did, there was definately no space left in the tummy zone!

Another thing to note is... you can always add on "a little something for a heartier breakfast", ranging from meat options, Smoked Salmon, different types of toast or beans and mushrooms.

Kudos to Harry's for launching Brunch - a very delicious one and tapping on their calming alfresco atmosphere. It's nice to have an uninterupted view at Boat Quay in the daytime (considering it's always been a place to hangout at night) with the lovely company of OpenRice members who enjoyed food and fun/funny conversations with

So, yes. Yes, go and have your brunch there one of these days before it gets filled in, daily.

Croissant Croque Monsieur
Soft, buttery croissant with thick laters of hams and melty cheese. Topped with bechamel that adds a tinge of sweetness to this combination. I love croissant in general and brought a simple croissant to another level.

Pot Pie
Pot Pie that warms the heart. Crusty puff pastry stayed flaky even after a period of photoshoot. Delcious, creamy and rich filling made this dish one of the best on Harry’s Bar’s brunch menu.

Soft Boiled Eggs & Marmite Soldiers
A unique dish where you are suppose to dip the marmite soldiers into the soft boiled eggs. Marmite can be a little salty on their own, but when eaten together with the toast and runny eggs, it felt like a good finger food, suitable for snacking any time!
Hearty and eggy, the brunch at Harry’s Bar is sure to give you a taste of modern European breakfast. Great ambience, having to sit just at the edge of the Singapore River while enjoying some lovely eggs and sipping on some coffee and fresh fruit juices.
Thank you @harrysbarsg & @openrice for the wonderful brunch experience!

Today limbeh is introducing a new place for brunch in the CBD. Harry's bar, better known for its bar grubs and alcohol, has recently launched their breakfast and brunch menu (available from 8am to 10.30am daily). This is definitely good news for office workers who might want a switch from their usual kaya toasts and soft-boiled eggs at nearby kopitiams. If that is not a good reason to attract you, how about its location at boat quay with a 5-star view of the Singapore river matched with some riv

Okay, their Croissant Croque-Monsieur (S$12) is new to my dictionary. Isn't croque monsieur usually consist of sandwich? Screw that shit. At Harry's Bar, a heavenly combination of ham and grilled cheese are encrusted within a nice, crispy croissant, that is topped up with another layer of cheese. Needless to say, this French beauty is baked to perfection. Oh, damyyyum.

Fry-Up consists of two sunny-side up, fried together with either veggies and mushrooms (S$12, below) or ham, bacon and mushrooms (S$13), and topped with cherry tomatoes. The eggs were nicely done with firm whites and a slightly runny yolk, which is a great complement to the toasted sour-dough. However, the steep price might be a huge turnoff for many.

79 views

Luscious Soft-boiled eggs paired with Marmite soldiers (S$7) are your atas version of the typical kopitiam breakfast - just that there is no pepper or dark soy sauce. These are soldiers that definitely pack a salty punch, but apparently, one of the food bloggers, praised it to the high heavens. For me, I felt like I needed a dialysis. I got to confess that I am not a fan of marmite though. An acquired taste, I supposed.

87 views

Assorted Muffins (S$2.90) which comes in a variety of flavours, such as Oatmeal Apple, Raisin Walnut, Raspberry, and Banana Peanut Butter. They are baked freshly at Harry's Bar itself to ensure a tiptop quality of freshness - crumbly exterior coupled with a moist and fluffy texture within. Banana PB was my favourite amongst the four. Everything goes well with PB (and Nutella), no?

Would you just look at these beautiful muffins? For that price, I would say their muffins are good for value, plus they are available for takeaway as well. Perhaps, you can tabao a couple for the beautiful office ladies you fancy? (insert cheeky smile here)

All in all, Harry's Bar is definitely a great place to hang around and chill out with friends whilst enjoy the breeze and picturesque landscape. Their breakfast menu is pretty decent for a start, but improvements can definitely be implemented. Last but not least, I want to thank Reka from Openrice, as well as, Harry's Bar for organising this food tasting event, it's always a pleasure to meet like-minded individuals.

Ham bacon and mushroom fry up is the next on the list of the menu. It was delicious and i love the organic soft boil eggs. we all love this combo. Unique.

Chicken pot pie is everyone's favorite with the invitees, all finished eating up this delicious chicken pot pie. I asked for more from other s and they said no more no more. Haha..

These are vegetables fry up and good for vegetarian or on a lighter breakkie for he morning. The toast was too dry and hard though.

The assorted muffins are moist and tasty and not too sweet, has the European taste. I would go for these with a cup of coffee or tea. Yummy..I really enjoy the brunch at Harry's bar at Boat Quay. Glad that they served breakfast and brunch. There is an aircon place if you afraid of being too warm outside.

I believe a hearty breakfast is always a great start to confronting the day's challenges ahead — and Harry's new menu offerings certainly provide a great way to kickstart the day!
Having a caffe latte while dining alfresco may not be very advisable in the midday heat, but it works just fine in the morning! I absolutely loved the deep, bitter essence and the frothy foam on top. It was also a visual treat to observe the gradual blending of the layers of foam and coffee!

Caffe Latte

You can't go wrong with ham and cheese. A combination of these in your croissant is food heaven — the flaky and melt-in-your-mouth tender crust made me wonder if this had come right out of a Paris kitchen. There was a strong milky, buttery fragrance as well. If Harry's Bar were located near my office, I think I'd eat this for breakfast every day...

Crumbly, moist, fresh and savoury. These muffins are presented in a stylish baking cup — they make for a very presentable snack for your colleagues! Oh yes, they are baked fresh DAILY! I know many places have their muffins delivered from a central kitchen, and keep them on sale for days! None of these stale muffins at Harry's!

One of the greatest challenges with pot pies is keeping them from turning soggy. We spent about 15 minutes snapping away with our cameras, and yet the pies remained crusty and flaky. Whether you go for the Creamy Chicken and Vegetables or Mushroom and Potatoes Veloute with Vegetables, you are assured of a smooth, flaky and rich-tasting experience!

Ham, Bacon and Mushroom Fry Up

Pot Pie

My heart sank when I first saw this — the sourdough sticks looked like a heart broken into two. At first sight, the eggs looked pretty unflattering, along with unevenly distributed ingredients. Surprisingly though, the consistency of the eggs was pretty brilliant! With a firm yet jelly-like texture, this is perhaps one of the best sunny side-ups I've had — the yolks in particular were gooey yet held their shape well when my knife went through them.

Ham, Bacon and Mushroom Fry Up

I would skip the Soft boiled eggs & Marmite soldiers though — the chunks of bread were a tad too salty, and the eggs seemed overly-adapted to the Singapore style of half-boiled eggs in a pot. But if you'd like to try a variation of Ya-Kun's famed breakfast eggs and toast, you might perhaps wish to give this a try!

We rounded off the session with refreshing pineapple juice. I had a bit of time to look across the river and ponder the transformation of Singapore— especially since Harry's Bar is located directly across from where our founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew (aka Harry) recently lay in state inside Parliament House. Thank you to both Harrys for adding such vibrancy to Singapore!

However, now it's time for a new face-lift as Harry's Bar introduces the new breakfast menu.

Thanks to OpenRice Sg, we had the opportunity to try out their latest breakfast menu.

Croissant Croque Monsieur ($12)

What better way to start your day than to indulge with some buttery soft bread to fill up on your carbo? Flaky, light and fluffy croissant sandwiched with ham and melted cheese. Topped with

béchamel sauce for subtle hits of sweetness. There were not much béchamel sauce which perhaps has seeped into the croissant. Despite this, this serving was one of my favorites.

Comes with a balsamic simple salad.

Say Morning to warm fluffy muffins! ($2.90) each.

The important essence of muffins, for me, are to have them hot while they are still crusty on the top. That was just how Harry's muffins were.

Another love of mine, these muffins were not overly sweet and just nice.

Raspberry and Cheese.

Raspberry bits burst with melting cheese.

Banana and Peanut Butter Muffin.

This was our favorite mixed with the creamy soft peanut butter and banana.

Raisins and Walnuts.

These were slightly drier and didn't make much impression.

19 views

Granny Smith.

Apple crumble with apple bits hidden within, making a good choice as well!

23 views

Chicken Pot Pie ($12)

Need some creamy soup to warm your stomach?

Break into the flaky top crust and dig into a soup of your choice.

We had the Creamy Chicken and vegetables version. Yummy soup to go with the pie.

Another version would be the Mushroom and Potatoes with Vegetables.

26 views

Soft Boiled Eggs & Marmite Soldiers ($7)

Everyone's favourite soft boiled egg goes absolutely well with the crispy savory cheese toast, spread with Marmite. We love this simple goodness. Marmite attack!

Loving your eggs for breakfast?

You can't miss the Fry Ups.

Left: Vegetables Fry up. Right: Ham, Bacon and Mushroom Fry Up ($13)

21 views

Start your day with a nutritious fill up with sunny-sides up mixed in with beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and peas, served with sourdough.

This version was much nicer.

The Ham, Bacon and Mushroom Fry Up on the other hand was much saltier and we would much prefered if the seasoning be reduced as the cured meat were already salty on their own.

19 views

The way to had them is to break the egg yolk and soak them on the sourdough so as to soften the toast and makes it easier to have them all mixed up together.

17 views

Cranberry Juice ($6).

Not pure juices, but simply a cooling thirst quencher to accompaniment the yummy hearty breakfast at Harry's Bar.

Coffees, Lattes, Espresso are available as well.

Harry's Bar full Breakfast Menu and it’s available from 8 – 10.30am, available for Dine-In and Takeaway.

Have a tummy-filling day ahead!

Harry’s recently launched their breakfast menu. More known for their bar grub and drinks , the good folks at Harrys are expanding their repertoire to focus more on their food menu and their breakfast menu is one of their new offerings . Taking into account their strategic location near the Central Business District (CBD) , the breakfast menu is aimed at the discerning office executive that wants more than his or her usual kaya toast , soft boil eggs and kopi o at their local kopitiam. Available from 8am to 10.30am daily at the Boat Quay outlet, it is suited for hungry executives working in the nearby Raffles Place area. They have dine in options as well as takeaway options for those in a rush. The al fresco area outside the restaurant overlooking the picturesque Singapore river is perfect for to relax while having a power breakfast to fuel the body. If you are not working in the area , fret not , Harry’s is open on weekends too . For those who like to cafe hop , why not avoid the usual crowded cafes and give Harry’s a go . Quiet and relaxing , perfect place for breakfast followed by some reading.

Boat Quay in the morning is really a far cry from the hip and happening watering hole it is during the night-time. Thanks to the good folks at OpenRice , I had the chance to taste Harry’s Breakfast menu on an idyllic Saturday morning. Offering modern European fare , Harry’s breakfast menu consist of the usual breakfast favourites such as eggs , croissants and coffee. What is interesting is that they offer unique interpretations of the usual breakfast fare , some of the interesting offered here include fry ups , marmite soldiers and croissant croque-monsieur. Salivating yet ? Lets move on to their food options .

Soft-Boiled Eggs and Marmite Soldiers

Soft Boiled Eggs & Marmite Soldiers ($7)

90 views

Croissant Croque-Monsieur

It comes with 2 perfectly soft-boiled eggs in a little pot and 4 pieces of Marmite toast . The main star of the dish was the marmite fingerling, slices of toast lathered with copious amounts of marmite and topped with savoury cheese . The marmite slices had the very distinct marmite flavour which fans would swoon over . It has a strong umami goodness that went very well with the runny soft-boiled eggs . I found it a little too strong flavoured to my liking but I never like marmite anyways . The friend who loves marmite , absolutely adored this dish . Needless to say , the toast fingers packs a punch , no wonder they are called soldiers . A must order item for all those marmite fans out there.

Fry Up ($12/13)

2 versions of the fry ups are offered here , Ham, Bacon and Mushroom Fry Up ( $13 ) and Vegetables Fry Up ( $12 ) . Their fry up is like a cross between an omelette and a sunny side up . A plate of protein packed eggy goodness with bits and pieces of various ingredients scattered around . Two runny sunny side eggs yolks in the middle surrounded by a chockfull of various veges and meats. Instagrammers would totally dig the colours on this dish. Both versions come with 2 pieces of toast to go with the delicious eggs. I felt the vegetable version was the better one of the two dishes . The crunch of the vegetables added extra depth to the dish . The Ham Bacon version was a little too salty for my liking .

Chicken Pot Pie ($12)

The pot pie is a comfort food that would appeal to most people . The pot pie served here is top with a crumbly flaky crust and a hearty filling of plump chicken and rich creamy gravy with mushrooms . The creamy gravy was soothing and full of umami goodness . An absolute delight to the tastebuds.

Croissant Croque-Monsieur ($12)

Croque-Monsieur is traditionally a grilled ham and cheese sandwich topped with béchamel. Here at Harry’s , instead of a sandwich , a croissant is used . I like croissants and I like grilled ham and cheese sandwiches , what can I say , I totally loved the dish . The crunchy flaky croissant stuffed with savoury ham and cheese was delicious . The added bonus was that the béchamel sauce gave the croissant a subtle sweetness that balanced the savoury buttery croissant underneath elevating the dish from a simple pastry to an epicurean delight . This is the dish to try if you ever popped by Harry’s for breakfast.

A variety of muffins was served to us that day . The flavours include Banana Peanut Butter , Raisin Walnut , Raspberry and Oatmeal Apple . Surprisingly, the muffins were better than I expected . They were soft , moist and not too sweet , just how I like my muffins to be. Imagine them to be like those sold at Kenny Roger’s , only much better . The muffins here are freshly baked each day , no wonder they are so moist . Of the bunch , I loved their banana peanut butter muffin. Savoury PB went very well with the sweetness of the banana and the muffin. Truth be told , I like my peanut butter , in fact I could have peanut butter with anything.
Overall, my experience at Harry’s Bar was an enjoyable one . The breakfast menu was pretty decent , albeit a little salty. The portions were huge, good for sharing . In addition , the menu items were relatively cheap considering the location. If you are around the area and starving for a good breakfast , do drop by Harry’s Bar to try out their breakfast menu.

Harry's has just introduced their Breakfast Club, hence their current Breakfast menu are limited to 10 selections.

The Assorted Muffins ($2.90 each) was fresh from oven, bakery styled muffins, crisp on the top and moist, fluffy inside. The nuts and fruits gave the muffin a nice nutty and fruity aroma.

The Croissant Croque Monsieur ($12) was a ham and cheese on a croissant. Though looked simple, the taste was heavenly. Baked, crisp cheesy top layer with savoury ham on a fluffy croissant.

The Ham, Bacon and Mushroom Fry Up ($13) looked like an omelette before beating in a bowl. A simple pan fried sunny side up with savoury meat and fresh mushroom. Flowing yolk with cooked white. I still preferred an omelette style for this dish.

The Soft Boiled Eggs & Marmite Soldiers ($7) has a small pot, initially I thought the pot was Chawamushi. The Marmite Soldiers was too salty and the soft boiled eggs were under done, slightly watery.

Overall, I enjoyed having Harry's Breakfast Club, though the prices for some are slightly high for a breakfast meal in the business district.

Before we begin, please remember that it is extremely excruciating for me to contain my extraordinary exuberance, especially in face of the expansive extent of excellent egg puns available whenever brunch is served. Therefore, do not be shell-shocked at the lack of pre-embryonic yolks (oops, I really meant jokes) as this review progresses.

Thanks to the lovely folks at OpenRice who invited me to this food-tasting session, I got a glimpse of what the CBD looks like on a sleepy scorching Saturday morning. Just to clarify, it’s not as though I’m persona non grata in the CBD (I always get invited to partays, okay), but it’s just that I never had a compelling reason to travel down on weekends. In fact, I’m probably not alone in thinking that nothing much is open around the Raffles Place area on weekend mornings. Weekend nights are a different story though, what with the number of bars lining Boat Quay, you’d be hard-pressed to find a reason to leave.

Notwithstanding my contact lenses mishap early in the day, this morning spent at Harry’s Boat Quay really opened my eyes in more ways than one. It’s genius really, when you think about it. Bars are great, Brunches are great, so why not both? It should always be BARunch I say, any time of the day! Ever walked into a brunch place and lamented their measly offerings of weak bubbly and watered-down mimosas, wishing instead for a pint of the good stuff?

At Harry’s Boat Quay, the good stuff is always there, but now you get brunch to wash it down, too. That’s the type of washing that even feminists can enjoy.

Moreover, you don’t get your SBO (Standard Battle Order) line-up of Brunch favourites over at Harry’s. Instead, they are going for the whole European comfort food vibe, but with a twist. And before anyone’s knickers get in a similar state, let’s take a look at some of their main offerings.

1. Soft Boiled Eggs & Marmite Soldiers ($7)

This con-COCOTTE-tion, of soft boiled eggs with fingerling toasties smeared with a generous amount of marmite and topped with cheese, is absolute heaven. Hell, I’d march into war with them Marmite Soldiers any day, YUMS. Needless to say, this Brit-Aussie take on brunch really packs a punch, at least for me.

2. Croissant Croque Monsieur ($12)

18 views

Ah, mon ami. Let’s French it up a notch, and replace our bread with the quintessential Croissant. While it retains only a slight crunch (possibly to the point of being blasphemous to its namesake), the result is a juicier, more scrumptious version of good old Mister Crunch. Actually, I’d probably nickname this my Mister Munch instead, or Le Croix Monsieur perhaps? :/ While I enjoyed this very much, the béchamel sauce probably seeped into the porous croissant, which is really sad. Béchamel over Chanel, baby. I’m crazy over the side salad by the way – it’s dressed in a simple balsamic reduction, which the lovely Nataline at Harry’s describes as a light accompaniment to an otherwise heavy meal. Oui, oui!

3. Chicken Pot Pie ($12)

What would Sweeny Todd do, when faced with pastry draped over stew? This is in reference to a May 2014 petition originating from London, appropriately urging folks to “Make wrongly describing a casserole with a pastry lid as a pie a criminal offence”. I kid you not. Alas, it’s but a rose by any other name, my friends. I’d still lap up this deliciously creamy Chicken Pot Pie and be content. The best part of this dish is the satisfying bite – even the mushrooms are quartered and not sliced!

4. Fry Up Galore – Ham, Bacon and Mushroom Fry Up ($13); Vegetables Fry Up ($12)

21 views

To be honest, while I loved the way the eggs and ingredients are presented, I was pretty underwhelmed by both Fry Ups, to be honest. The Vegetables Fry Up was marginally better, with its slightly sweet overall taste and the crunchy fresh beans. However, I felt the Ham, Bacon and Mushroom Fry Up could go easier on the seasoning – plus, I couldn’t taste the Bacon too. Everyone knows Bacon can make or break a dish, unless it’s Kevin Bacon (haha, sorry I had to say it).

The Fry Ups I know and love are usually Irish, and served with their nation’s best spud hash. Luck of the leprechauns, indeed.

5. Assorted Muffins ($2.90 each, takeaway encouraged)

The staggering array of muffins was presented to us early in the meal, and I’d have to admit I’m not a big fan of muffins. I usually found the texture too dry and mealy, but this rendition is surprising good, especially the Banana and Peanut Butter Muffin! Another one I really liked is the Granny Smith Muffin, for the juicy tartness that binds the muffin and cuts through the gelat-ness. The Raspberry and Cheese didn’t stand out in my opinion, and I didn’t touch the Raisins and Walnuts, seeing as I’m averse to raisins. If I were to judge solely on the base, dough (haha geddit?), I’d say these muffins are definitely batter than expected!

A word for the purists – I had the Cranberry Juice ($6), and like most bars, it’s not freshly squeezed or anything. My bad though, who does juices in a bar, amirite? Kronenbourg Blanc FTW.
