It was a spur of the moment thing to have brunch at Marmalade Pantry. Saw Livia online and asked her if she would like to go to Marmalade. She had nothing much to do and me neither. Also asked Regina, Celest and Tanny but they couldn't make it.
So it was just the two of us, having a lazy Sunday brunch, feeling tai-tai-ish. Haha.
After much indecison of vacillating between ordering the crab linguine or the banana pancakes or the eggs, I finally decided on Eggs Benedict, with a side of sausages. Now this may sound shocking, but that was the first time I had Eggs Benedict. It never really appealed to me much. Poached eggs. The impression I had of Eggs Benedict was poached eggs on tomatoes.
I didn't expect it to be served on nicely toasted English muffin, with a slice of ham, poached egg and hollandaise sauce. The sauce was wickedly good (and sinful)! It really added flavor to the dish. The ham was not too salty either and was of a good size, not too thin. The side of sausages was good, not too gamey tasting. Of course, adding ketchup added to the taste factor :p
Livia had the ultimate beef burger. It looked so huge and juicy, though she said it was not as juicy as the foie gras burger. The thick fries looked good too.
And of course I had to have my cupcake. The chocolate deluxe cupcake, which is the ultimate chocolate cupcake. They overheated it, so it was a bit too tough. Nevertheless, it was still so wonderfully fulfilling. Livia had the chocolate tartlet which was quite a disappointment - very bitter chocolate and had a "taste" to it. The cappuccino rounded off the meal nicely.
