Coffee Club, Raffles City Shopping Centre
I've always thought Singapore was quite the deserted forsaken wasteland whenever Chinese New Year rolls around, all the malls and restaurants are closed, and there's really nothing to do or eat on our little island except visit your relatives or stay at home. If you wanted to do anything over the first couple of days of the Lunar New Year, you could do little other than catching a show at the cinemas. If you wanted to eat out, you're relegated to prata (Indian food), mee rebus (Malay food), Macdonalds (fast food) and the like.
It's changed though. I've noticed a lot more restaurants and shops open, even during the first day of Chinese New Year. On a hunch, we hit Raffles City on the second day of the Chinese New Year, hoping to get some breakfast. We figured that even if the shops weren't open, the hotel's in-house's restaurants would at the very least be open for business. As it turned out, most of the eateries at Raffles City Shopping Centre were open and we enjoyed a slow, leisurely, breakfast in a relatively deserted mall.
The All Star American Breakfast ($10.50) consisted of baguette toasts, crisp bacon, chicken sausages, chicken patty, grilled tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, and sunny side up eggs. Substantial and delicious. The mushrooms and eggs weren't salted, which was really great, seeing as the salt content in the bacon, sausages and patty more than balanced out the mushrooms and eggs.
I had mine with scrambled eggs, fluffy and moist, just the way I like it.
The Mushrooms Bruschetta Bash ($9.50) is an absolute must-try, the mouth-wateringly good chorizo and portobello mushrooms bruschetta was served with perfectly executed scrambled eggs, a thick juicy chicken patty and vinaigrette-dressed mesclun salad.
