Review: 5th Quarter’s Free Flow Cava Brunch
PUBLISHED March 7th, 2016 07:01 am | UPDATED May 23rd, 2017 06:41 pm
We’ve already experienced the goodness that comes out of Chef Drew Nocente’s kitchen at 5th Quarter; so when we heard that the restaurant was launching an all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch, we couldn’t be happier to head back to try his rendition of comfort brunch food.
With 13 savoury dishes and three desserts on the menu, the best – and easiest – way to get started is to order everything on the menu! Just note that the dishes labeled premium – the Oyster, Brandade & Caviar, the Clams, Garlic, Toast, and the Grilled Prawns, Garlic & Chili – are limited in quantity, so you can pretty much only order them once. While the delicious prawns were huge (almost the size of my hand) and grilled perfectly, but my top pick of the three would be the clams, soaking in their savoury, flavourful broth.
This still leaves you with 10 other plates that you can have unlimited helpings of. While we enjoyed the Housemade Sausage & Mash, Portobello Eggs, and Chef’s house-cured Charcuterie Platter, dishes worthy of a second order include the Fried Chicken & Pancakes, Smoked Maple Bacon & Apple, Pork Hash with poached eggs, and the Chorizo Eggs.
Although that savoury food overload might leave you in a food coma, be sure to save some space for dessert because all three of them – Chocolate Lollipops, Banana & Sesame Cones, and Pineapple, Coconut & Brittle – are winners too.
Just a tip; if you’re not planning to get overly boozy with the free-flow cava, it’s available at $15++ per glass or $85++ per bottle.
5th Quarter is located at Hotel Vagabond, 39 Syed Alwi Road, Singapore 207630. Sunday Brunch is available in two seatings from 11.30am to 4pm. Priced at $60++ per adult; free flow Noche y Dia Cava Brut is available at $45++ per person.
