Hatched celebrated their 2nd Anniversary with a special Anniversary menu on their Anniversary weekend. I couldn't not feel excited after looking at the mouthwatering preview pictures of what lays ahead at Hatched on the 17th and 18th of Sep. I made a reservation for Sunday brunch and waited in anticipation for the excruciatingly-slow work week to tick pass.
We were quickly shown to our table, food arrived quickly, and service was good. Both my boyfriend and I ordered poach egg dishes. My dish rocked! As always, the eggs were perfectly runny, and I loved the saltiness on my plate. One poached egg sat atop ham and bacon whilst the other sat atop minced beef, both cradled in soft english muffins. When poked apart, the yolk oozed out to drench whatever sits beneath in its goodness. Boyfriend loved his poached eggs with smoked salmon as well, complimenting its savory saltiness as I did with my dish. However, I didn't quite like the sauteed potatoes which they replaced the usual side of homemade mash with.There were hits and then there were misses. Minimal decorations were placed up for this 'celebration'. All they had that I could see was a silver foil balloon shaped in a numerical 2. The atmosphere was too 'busy' for my liking - for the special occasion, they have placed tables in the lobby area outside the cafe itself to expand seating capacity, which looked kind of disoriented. The couples were all placed at one side, with our tables so close to each other our elbows were knocking with the couple's at the next table.
The egg-shaped pancakes with cream cheese, bacon bits and walnuts which I was looking forward to most were a letdown. The bacon bits looked and tasted more like char siew and the thick slab of cream cheese was concentrated in the middle. They served this dish together with the 2 mains, so perhaps it had been left to cool a little whilst on our table, resulting in a lacklustre dish as pancakes have to be eaten whilst piping hot.
