Farm to Table

We were on our way to Flor to get a strawberry cake for YJ birthday. Our initial intention of eating lunch at a small Japanese restaurant in that area was thwarted, when we found that we were out for so late a lunch the restaurant had already closed for the lunch session. So we were roaming around aimlessly looking for an alternative lunch place and the words "ALL-DAY BREAKFAST" caught our eye. So in to Farm to Table we went.

Because it was so late (about 2 plus pm maybe), we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. The menu isn't huge, but enough selections to spoil us for choices already. After much deliberation, we settled for these: Truffle fries, Gourmet croissant, Breakfast plate, Chicken pie.

The truffle fries were amazing. Super fragrant from the truffle, nicely crisp. Even had some herbs tossed in. We love. So much more effort put in to these fries than those superficial ones that just dump on some truffle salt and leave it at that.

J had the gourmet croissant. Scrambled eggs and a gourmet sausage sandwiched within a croissant. J liked it very much. The eggs were done nicely, the sausage beautifully criss-crossed and charred.

FQ, as usual went for the breakfast plate, with his eggs scrambled. The creamy scrambled eggs and the crisp bacon were so ooooooh inducing. Plus the bacon wasn't too salty, a huge plus!

I went for the chicken pie, and I totally didn't regret it. It was soooooo yummy! The crust was browned beautifully. And the filling. Hmmm... Generous portions of chicken, and the seasoning was perfect. Warm, crusty pastry with the warm, oozy, yummy chicken filling. It was comfort food at its best. I think this is one of the best chicken pies I've eaten in Singapore. I love love love it. I can imagine how comforting it will be on a rainy day.

Look at all the chicken spilling out of my pie!

J and FQ loved the pie too, after I gave them a mouthful each to sample. FQ was having a bad cough, so no chicken for him. But I gave him a piece with the gravy alone, and that was enough to make him love it. I now remember this joint as the place with the very nice chicken pie. Maybe I'm biased. I do love pies, but I don't eat a whole lot of them to make myself a world expert on pies. But really, this one really hits the spot for me.
