Brunch at SPRUCE
I was searching for places to go for a good brunch and came across this and went with my sis on sunday! We were lucky! We didn't make a reservation but they had a free table for an hour til the next reservation! So brunch was kinda fast but the food and ambience was good (though a tad too noisy for my liking as it was weekend)! The portion of Spruce Eggs Benny wasnt as large as I thought it would be though, judging from the photo on the weblink, BUT YES, IT WAS REALLY GOOD! :) I love the poached eggs, the hollandaise sauce (which I originally thought was the broken egg yolk) and the corn bits! I was wiping all of the hollandaise sauce and my broken egg yolks with anything (/nothing) I had on my fork! Sis had the Spruce Big Brekkie with scrambled eggs. The toast with butter that came with it was awesome! Warm, crisp on the outside and soft with the bite. Say YUM. We also loved the roasted tomato that came with it, it was warm and juicy, not soggy and mushy! Roasted mushrooms on the side were great too! The mini hashbrown/grilled potato was abit too dry and hard though, we prefer the usual hashbrowns! Bought a pear and almond muffin for kk as I was meeting him after brunch. We shared it later and oh my, the muffin was heavenly! It tasted better than it looked! Moist, and there were juicy baked pear bits in it! I wished I had bought more, am craving for it now!
Am going back there again soon for ra's birthday celebration and I hope muffin-of-the-day will be pear and almond!! :) Maybe I'll ask if they could make some for us when making my reservation...
