The recent uprising of cafes within Jalan Besar seems to bring a different vibe to the area. Firstly we had Chye Seng Huat Hardware which opened at Tyrwhitt Road last year to much hype, and the move of Windowsill Pies shortly after. This year in this month alone, we already seen The Little Prince Cafe opening up at nearby Somme Road. Antoniette at Penhas Road had also been in business there for some time, and now in between of Windowsill Pies and Antoniette we have The Bravery, which just opened
The Bravery are affiliated with the well-loved The Plain at Craig Road. Much like The Plain, The Bravery aims to be a full-day brunch spot that serves coffee as well. The menu has a plenty of brunch favourite choices, ranging from toasts, sandwiches and all-time favourite poached eggs. The industrial decor might not appeal to some, with beer racks forming stools, rough-looking walls that are purposely finished in that way and lots of unprocessed wood for tables and chairs.
I tried to resist myself from having poached eggs but I got myself the Eggs on Toast ($8.00) still. Here, you can choose between having your eggs poached or having a Sunny Side Up (but why not have them poached since they offer it?), and also add a side if you wish. I had the poached ones with an additional side of smoked salmon (additional cost of $5.00). The buttered multigrain toast was crusty and crispy and it had a very unique taste on its own, which was pretty fragrant. There is no hollandaise sauce on this one, but it was pretty tasty as the eggs were seasoned with pepper. Coupled with smoked salmon which gives it a savoury appeal, it was definitely a more than decent approach to a dish often served in brunch cafes that carried a uniqueness on its own.For more photos and the full review, please visit: http://jiaksimipng.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/the-bravery-horne-road/
