Singapore is one of my absolute favourite countries, not only because it is so organised, clean, safe and easy to get around, but because of the endless cafes, restaurants and bars on offer. When Rodney and I used to visit here for sanity weekends away from KL, we would have this long standing agreement that so long as there was something new to come back for, we would.
We’ve recently relocated to Singapore after 7 years in KL and I have promised my friends and family that I will restart my food blog to track our culinary experiences, so they know where to go when they visit. Admittedly we’ve been here a month already and this is the first blog to add to my Singapore collection but hopefully it will be first of many.
Over the weekend we decided to check out the new Super Loco Weekend Brunch after being tantalised by their Instagram posts and wanting a change from the usual visits to their sister restaurant and one of our most favourite local bars/taquerias Lucha Loco. Well I think we’ve found our second favourite brunch spot in Singapore! (my favourite being Common Man Coffee Roasters also in Robertson Quay)
We started off with a healthy Super Smoothie which comes standard with ‘Freshly Blended with Banana, Almond Milk, COCOLOCO Coconut Water, Flax Seeds, Agave Nectar’ and your choice of base flavour Mango (which was my choice), Salted Caramel (Rodney’s choice), Banana or Wild Berry.
After much deliberation we chose our brunch dish. I opted for something a little unusual than the traditional eggs for a change with the Acai Super Bowl consisting of mango, blueberries, coconut, quinoa, chia and granola. Not only was it beautifully presented in a coconut bowl but I was also pleasantly surprised to find the blueberries turned into a frozen yogurt consistency and a wonderful balance of creamy quinoa and chia on the bottom with the crunchy granola, fresh mango and shredded coconut on top. Perfect for hot days!
Rodney went for the El Mexicano Grande which was apparently the ultimate breakfast for my Mexican food lover with sunny-side eggs, sourdough toast, pulled pork, esquites (Mexican Street Corn Salad), baked black beans, smashed avocado and roasted tomato salsa.
The only reason Super Loco did not make my top brunch spot accolade was the disappointing coffee which followed. Despite being made from our favourite New Zealand coffee beans Allpress, and despite asking for our flat white to come in a tulip cup (yes one of us is quite particular about their coffee), we received a weak latte in a short glass. If they can sort out their barista skills then Super Loco pretty much ticks all the brunch boxes. However if you don’t drink coffee or you don’t mind going somewhere else afterwards for your coffee, then I highly recommend you visit Super Loco for brunch next weekend.
Happy eating!
