The Iced Cappuccino is disappointing. The coffee was bland as the taste of the coffee was not strong, even the milk taste wasn’t apparent.The Flat White's blend came from Toby’s Estate, so you know what to expect. Great coffee!The Roasted New Potatoes with Rosemary and Romesco Sauce was well sauteed and roasted to perfection, its enough to be eaten on its own. Have it, however, with the Romesco sauce for a mild spicy and tangy taste.The Spatchcock Chicken is a chicken that had their backbone removed so that it can be flattened before roasting it with lemon & thyme, garlic & shallots, verjus & Creme Fraiche sauce. This resulted in a crispy skin and each piece of chicken tasting juicy and flavourful. It is one that must be ordered here!The Red Velvet Cake had disappointed a bit. The cake did not crumble easily, the taste of the cake were alright, but the taste of butter/cheese was in near absence in the cream used. Nonetheless, the quantity was enough to delight both of us.

The Freshly Baked Waffle with Hazelnut Haven & Salted Mr Brown ($9.70) is a nice combination. The waffle is slightly savoury and complements well with the chocolate sauce. The Hazelnut Haven had strong tasting of hazelnut and chocolate while the Salted Mr Brown had a distinct taste of sea salt and a tinge of chocolate. One of the richest tastes of ice cream I have found here!

The Nasi Lemak is one of the signature dishes. The coconut rice was very aromatic, the chicken curry, ikan bilis and acar were full in taste. The quantity was somewhat lacking though.The Nasi Bojari also one of the signature dishes, was what I preferred over the Nasi Lemak. The rice tasted great, the chicken was tender, the assam prawns were spicy enough and the beef rendang was great. The quantity was enough as well.The Cold Lemon Tea tasted refreshing. Contrary to other places, this place separates the sugar syrup so that you can decide how sweet you want your drink to be.The Black & White, which is basically soya bean drink with grass jelly. The sugar syrup is given for this too.The Banana Fritters with Ice Cream is a refreshing dessert to end off with. The banana fritters were not crispy, but sweet and soft to chew on when accompanied with the vanilla ice cream.

For full review and more photos, please visit http://makanarts.com/2013/09/21/brawn-brains-100-guillemard-road/I had the Iced Caffe Latte, which is the more popular drink here. They had 2 type of coffee beans: organic fair trade and Sumatra Lintong (blend), which I had the former. This had a double shot of ristretto. One taste and I really enjoyed it. It doesn't have a strong bitter taste while retaining the strong coffee taste. Possibly one of the nicest coffee I have taken to date.

The Mango Sago with Pomelo is definitely a must order here. It is flavourful and the serving is big. They are not stingy with the amount as well as loads of bits of mango filled the bottom of the bowl. Recommended to have it with the sour pomelo!The Original Fresh Milk Steamed Egg is an another must try. It is smooth and full of taste. As compared to other dessert places, the distinctive taste of egg in this is very apparent.
