Prive: Brunch by the Bay!



Another Sunday, another lazy-wake-up day. Sleeping is such a luxury these days that I would give almost anything just to catch more wink. Well almost. Brunch is so not in the list! Rise and shine to Prive!




The taxi uncle shot me irritated stares when I told him to go Keppel Bay. Yes I know its only a short distance away from Vivocity, but really, thats the logical thing to do with 3 other companions right? Long heard about its comfortable atmosphere, the al fresco area of Prive Bakery certainly didn't disappoint. We managed to get a sheltered spot with a full view of the yacht harbour and occasional sea breeze. Feels very un-Singapore!


Latte ($4.80)

I'm drinking more coffee these days not because I liked it, but because it kept me awake for morning 8.30 lessons. Latte had always been my preference with its balance of coffee aroma and milky taste. Now that perked me up happily!


Ultimate Breakfast ($17.00)

The grandest that they could offer! Toast, baked beans, tomatoes, greens, bacon strips, beef sausage and your choice of egges. Fresh stuffs that will surely satisfy the greedy you!



Eggs Benedict(Bacon), Eggs Royale(Salmon) ($13.50 for both)

A favourite for many, I guess people really loved poached eggs and their runny yorks! The hollaindaise sauce was a little dry, but still good when eaten with warm muffins and balanced the saltiness of bacon and salmon. Not much faults here!


Fluffy Pancakes ($13.50)

My friends always knew me as a savoury over sweets person. But somehow this morning, the hidden side of me craved for pancakes! Sliced banana and strawberries, smoothered with a little whip cream and drizzled in maple syrup. Now thats a sweet start for the week!



Total bill for 4 was $73.30 after taxes. Admittedly, the food wasn't exactly mind-blowing, but with its chill-laxing ambience and excellent view, it was relatively affordable compared to other brunch places. Now don't bother the taxi uncle anymore and take a nice stroll back across the bridge!

Actually it was abit more drama than that. He looked at me for abt 1 sec then hissed: "keppel bay, the one just beside?", and i nodded.

For a moment I thought he's gonna throw us out of his cab.
