Best New Brunches in Singapore
Brunch is both a great hangover cure and the perfect cover for daytime drinking. The only problem is that it’s often unimaginative and boring. Who really needs another from-concentrate mimosa or 30-buck eggs and toast? Thankfully, brunch has started to take off at non-traditional hangouts: Spanish tapas joints, Peranakan restaurants and Latin hotspots. Alex Chew, one of the directors of hip eatery Bacchanalia, which hosts raucous once-a-month brunch parties, says “People like having an alternative to the traditional night time party scene. After a boozy brunch, we draw the curtains and transform the restaurant into a club-like environment. Though you feel as if you've been out for the evening, there's still time to have dinner and get a good night's sleep.” With the slew of new brunch experiences on offer, it can be hard to figure out what’s worth your time. Here are ten of our favorites.
