Seah Street Deli, Raffles Hotel
We were craving American food when we woke up on Sunday and decided to go to Seah Street Deli for brunch. Save for a couple of occupied tables, the retro diner was empty, which meant a fairly private and peaceful brunch. This is definitely more of a dinner place than a brunch place.
The BF wanted meat and got the Beef Pot Roast ($25) in rich brown gravy with mashed potato and root vegetables like parsnips and carrots. The thinly sliced was tender and quite robust, simply seasoned so its natural beefy flavours were the focus. The gravy was the flavouring agent here, with its rich thick and heady flavours.
I got the Original Deli Omelette with Ham ($16) served alongside toasted white bread and baked beans. The omelette was moist and fluffy, just the way I like it. The BF, who's still on his quest to a board-short ready body, gobbled up the protein-rich baked beans, which didn't taste straight out of a can. The tart tomato flavours were more pronounced, with fresh, little tomato chunks mixed into the fray.
I liked that the salty shaved ham balanced the relatively plain omelette.
We also got the Mac and Cheese ($13.50) with extra cheese ($2), and roasted chicken ($4) and pork sausage ($4). The roasted chicken was a lot nicer than the pork sausage, which tasted a little one-dimensional and tasteless.
No visit to Seah Street Deli is complete without an order of their Root Beer Float ($10) a cool concoction of frosty delight.
