Exams are over and the holidays are finally here! Met up with my friends for brunch at Kith Cafe on a Monday morning. Yes, a Monday morning! The luxury of waking up on a weekday for brunch simply spells awesome.Looking at the handwritten menu on their chalkboard wall and deciding what to eat.Toast with poached eggs - $7.50

Despite knowing that their Big Breakfast is highly raved, we decided to just have toast with poached eggs because we have never tried poached eggs (or simply because we wanted to leave room for desserts) before!Took this picture before we added a dash of salt and freshly ground black pepper to our poached eggs. Look at that golden goodness flow and those grill lines on the toasts! And then when you dab the toast with the runny egg yolk, oh goodness gracious me, that morsel just taste so good. Not to mention, the toasts went very well with the cold butter.The cafe was rather empty when we reached at about 11am. We soon found ourselves to be surrounded by Caucasians and their kids when it hit noon. Kith Cafe seems to be a favorite with the expats. Great location to chill out with friends, food are served at affordable prices and without GST and service charge, who wouldn't like the place?

Wednesday afternoon sees me going to Ssikkek Korean Grill BBQ Buffet with a group of friends for lunch. I have patronaged its sister branch 2D1N Soju Bang, but this is my first time at Ssikkek!

We were there for a good half an hour before it opens for business because one of my friends advised that we should be early since the restaurant don't do reservations for lunch buffets.

True enough, a queue started to form behind us slightly after 11am! Hungry people on the loose! Attacking the pork belly and well marinated chicken! (And the rest of the meat which I didn't manage to capture on the camera because I was too busy barbecuing and eating!)The meat was well marinated and with fantastic bbq skills, the meat tasted heavenly. Definitely a 5/5.Other than meat, there were also side dishes to choose from. From sausages to corn salad to stir fried glass noodles to mixed vegetables. To pretend that we are actually health conscious, we wrapped the cooked meat in fresh lettuce with kimchi and Korean chilli paste before tucking it into our mouths.

Despite the fact that the restaurant was full during our visit, our water was refilled so many times without any grumbles and our aluminium foil was changed ever so frequently. The best part was that the buffet spread was also topped up every now and then! I really got to give them a 5/5 for excellent and prompt service.

Overall, Ssikkek is a pretty good choice for group gatherings and definitely value for money!
