FAMILY-FRIENDLY DINING
189
June15
When it comes to brunching and lunching – favourite pastimes here in Singapore –
there are lots of decisions to be made, from the type of cuisine you’re in the mood for
to how far you’re willing to travel – and most importantly, whether or not to bring your
little ones along; after all, you’ve got to consider opening hours and entertainment
facilities, and whether or not the menu will keep the entire brood happy. But, with so
many child-friendly spots to choose from these days, why not make it a family affair?
Here are some tried-and-tested daytime dining destinations around the island, many
of which offer much more than just high chairs and kids’ meals.
When:
Brunch is served from 8am on weekends and 9am
on weekdays; all-day breakfast is available too, and lunch
items are offered from 11.30am.
With kids outnumbering adults, it’s obvious this place is an
excellent weekend catch-up spot for families. Here, the best
place to enjoy the water views and up-beat atmosphere is
in the alfresco area and, rest assured, there are plenty of
umbrellas for shade.
The children’s menu is solid value with two brunch options
($12 each): pancake stacks or the “Breakfast of Champions”,
followed by a choice of dessert and a milkshake or fresh
juice. Bigger kids, over the age of 10, will probably prefer to
choose from the à la carte menu; our two polished off a stack
of
home-style pancakes
($13) with banana and strawberries,
and a
Plain Jane Wagyu Burger
($21), available after
11.30am. Hangover or not, the
Ultimate Brekkie
($20) will fill
a hungry belly, and it’s hard to beat the
eggs Benedict
($16)
with smoked leg ham. Do save room for something sweet –
there’s a stunning collection of cakes, and we reckon the
red
velvet
($6) was among the best we’ve tasted; the
sticky date
pudding
($12) is another favourite.
