Tiong Bahru gets a sexy new gluten-free brunch

Tiong Bahru’s Open Door Policy has been a firm presence in our annual Top Tables guide for years. We were nervous this year, when it announced a complete menu and concept overhaul, with chef Ryan Clift unveiling an entire gluten- and dairy-free menu. We were surprised and relieved to discover that the food was still delicious, wheatless pastas, nut-based cream causes and and all. Which is why we’re pretty excited that they’ve extended the treatment to their famous Sunday brunch. (Don’t worry, there’s still eggs and bacon.)

Some of the highlights are the (healthier) version of English breakfast: smoked bacon, sausage, tomato, beans, a well-cooked sunny side up with house-made gluten-free focaccia ($28) and spicy chorizo poached egg (S$26). For something more lunch-y then brunch-, try the spiced avocado king prawn with gluten-free pita bread and a sunny sideup egg ($30).

Save your stomach for French toast paired with agave-poached berries and whipped soy milk ice cream ($24). You can complete the meal by ordering a drink from the selection which includes a variety of cocktails ($20), mocktails ($10) and juices ($12).

There’s a set meal option, too, with two courses and a glass of wine or cocktail) at a decent $35 per person.
