Firangi Superstar @ Craig Road - New Modern-Indian Champagne Brunch
Firangi Superstar at Craig Road has launched the Champagne Superstar experience, a new modern-Indian weekend champagne brunch. In the two and half hour long brunch, diners get to enjoy free-flow champagne together with a delicious selection of modern Indian dishes.
Diners can indulge in limitless Moet & Chandon Brut or Rose, or if it tickles your fancy, step up to Veuve Clicquot La Grand Dame.
The Champagne Superstar has three pricing categories:
- Marvelous: $88++ (Food only)
- Magnificent: $158++ (Food and free flow of selected beverages including Moet & Chandon Brut or Rose)
- Massmajestica: $328 (Food and free flow of selected beverages including Veuve Clicquot La Grand Dame)
To kick start the brunch, you need to choose to find either a Vegetarian or Non-Vegetarian Box. We decided to go for the Non-Vegetarian treasure box. Present in a wooden box, opening it unveils a collection of bite-sized morsels with a gentle Indian touch that is designed to excite.
Look forward to a selection of delicious morsels such as caviar puri, truffle puri, Mangalore banana buns, Seekh sausage roll, Semolina cake, Mushroom tart, Masala donut and Pepper fry croissant.
Served alongside the wooden box of bite size morsels are Avocado Kulcha and Kale Kachumber.
If you think that is all, you are wrong! The treasure box of bite-size morsels is just only the starters. Next is the Mains, whereby you are given four options - Akuri, Prata Waffle, Fish & Chips and Baked Eggs.
The Akuri is a hearty breakfast platter of masala scrambled eggs, tomatoes and pav. The Prata Waffle is a modern take on the chicken waffle with Madras Fried Chicken and prata. Lastly, the Fish & Chips comes with Amritsari snapper with gunpowder fries.
Complete your brunch with a sweet ending with an array of desserts. Among the spread are several cake selections such as Carrot Cake, Red Velvet Peanut Cake, Oreo Cheese Cake, Honey Rum Chocolate Cake and Swiss Roll.
For something lighter, you can go for the Cinnamon Ginger Cookie or Masala Chai Eclair.
Overall, I enjoyed the Champagne Superstar experience a lot. It brings a new and unique modern Indian champagne brunch experience which sets it apart from the rest.
Note: This is an invited tasting.

Spice Brasserie @ Parkroyal on Kitchener Road - Lunch 茶 Buffet
Spice Brasserie at Parkroyal on Kitchener Road has recently launched Lunch 茶. In just one seating of four hours long and at one price, you get to indulge in a lunch buffet, followed by an afternoon tea set. The buffet offers a line up of Malaysia and Singapore inspired dishes that warm you up with familiar tastes and flavours.
Braised Black Vinegar Trotter 4/5
I was surprised to find a very homely dish - Braised Black Vinegar Trotter. Bringing flavours from his hometown, Penang, Executive Sous Chef Patrick Ooi uses Gula melaka in his recipe to develop his version of this family classic. The perfectly braised egg is a star of its own too.
Penang Fried Kway Tiao & Carrot Cake 4/5
Other notable dishes from his hometown include Penang Fried Kway Tiao and Carrot Cake, and if you drop by for the weekday lunch buffet, there will be Penang Assam Laksa as well.
DIY Popiah station
One of the highlights of this buffet is the DIY Popiah station - The turnips was very well stewed with dried shrimps and mushrooms, alongside fluffy shredded eggs and crunchy beansprouts.
DIY Rojak
I had a lot of fun at the DIY Rojak station too, that is filled with chopped juicy pineapples, cucumbers, green mangos, turnips, crunchy youtiaos and beancurd skin.
The buffet line also comes with a live Pratas and Naans station, serving robust fish curry and rich butter chicken. Right beside it is the station where you can order a handpulled Teh Tarik to complement your warm and fluffy pratas and naans.
Chee Cheong Fun
Lo Mai Kai
Other delights include local style dim sum such as Chee Cheong Fun, which is one of our favourites among the dishes, as well as Lo Mai Kai.
DIY Muah Chee
There's even a Muah Chee station too, in which you can simply load your plate with heaps of the well roasted crushed peanuts!
This new Lunch 茶 (pronounced as Lunch-‘cha’) buffet serves you an Afternoon 茶 Set after the lunch buffet ends at 230pm, which allows you to continue to chill with your loved ones till 4pm. Each set comes with free flow of tea and coffee. Featuring Asian sweets such as Nonya Kuehs, you will also get interesting creations such as Portuguese Durian Egg Tarts.
The Saturdays and Sundays Lunch 茶 Buffet is priced at $45 nett per person.

Kwee Zeen @ Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa - Christmas Mega Safe Brunch
Paying homage to the Christmas traditions of old, Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa presents a full-fledged Christmas Town in this season of merry-making. Over at Kwee Zeen, guests can look forward to spectacular holiday buffet spreads. Besides the traditional holiday classic, guests can also look forward to an eclectic lineup of fresh seafood, international cuisines and a full dessert counter with quintessential panettone, chocolate fondue, log cake, stollen and much more.
The highlight of the Christmas Mega Safe Brunch at Kween Zeen has to be the Seafood of Ice and oyster counter. The Oyster counter has four different varieties, while the seafood of ice has a massive selection of crustaceans and shellfish. You can eat to your fill.
In every festive celebration, the festive roasts such as Turkey, Beef Ribs, Tomahawk, Sausages and Ham are not to be missed. Best to have them together with sides like roasted potatoes and vegetables.
The huge paella pan brimming with seafood and the various ham on the buffet spread caught my eyes. It brings back memories of my Spanish trips.
Diners can also look forward to other Asian and Local cuisines, such as the popular Japanese section for sashimi and sushi. My personal favourite is the noodle station where I can have the local laksa. I even asked the staff to add a few pieces of roasted duck from the Chinese's section. There is even an Indian section where you can indulgent in an array of aromatic dishes, curry and naan.
What is Christmas without the sweet treats? So do save your stomach to a full dessert counter with quintessential panettone, chocolate fondue, log cakes, stollen and much more.

SIRI HOUSE @ Dempsey - Launches New Weekend Brunch And Brunch Cocktails
SIRI HOUSE at Dempsey is known for its modern Asian cuisine. Making full use of its tranquil setting, with lush greenery right outside its doorstep, SIRI HOUSE invites you to spend a relaxing weekend with them. It has launched the new SIRI HOUSE Weekend Brunch, available on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The casual and communal brunch menu offers a la carte small and large brunch plates to share, coupled with a range of classic brunch cocktails concocted with a modern Asian twist.
Brunch Cocktails
The brunch cocktails at $12 per tipple are very affordable. It incorporates handcrafted infusions, freshly squeezed juices, housemade syrups and spice blends. I kick start the brunch with the Mary Nagano, which showcases an Asian twist to the popular Bloody Mary. You can taste the familiar heat from wasabi and other Asian ingredients - Worcestershire, chilli padi and Japanese vinegar. For a refreshing note, go for the more citrus-forward mix of Aperol, Summertime Madness for an easy start to your day.
Lobster Scramble 3/5
We had Lobster Scramble ($21) and Aranici ($21) from the small plates menu. I suggest going for its regular Easy Scramble ($7) instead, as the lobster scramble being a more luxurious egg dish was rather underwhelming. A good and straightforward scrambled eggs dish would have brought more joy.
Arancini 3.8/5
On the other hand, the Arancini surprised us with its takoyaki-alike flavours, giving the classic risotto balls an Asian facelift. Instead of using Italian rice, this is made using dashi infused Japanese rice, chunks of octopus and chorizo and encased within is oozy mozzarella. Atop the crisp balls are Jaew (Thai chilli) mayo, bonito flakes and furikake.
Champion Roll 3.8/5
We had the Champion Roll ($26) - a sourdough bread loaded with a baked egg, mushrooms, bacon, asparagus, gouda, and an arrabbiata cream sauce from the Large Plate menu. If you like pizza, this will be your thing.
Cheeseburger 4/5
Also on the menu is SIRI HOUSE’s Signature Cheeseburger ($29). The fluffy toasted milk bun is a plus point. The housemade beef patty was flavourful, with a good spread of harissa mayo to bring all the ingredients together.
Bomboloni 3.8/5
Cherry Sundae 4/5
For dessert, we had the adorable, bite-size Bomboloni ($16). It's an assortment of fluffy Italian style doughnuts with cashew chocolate ganache and mixed berry compote fillings. The Cherry Sundae ($18) with tart cherry compote and a milky sweet yoghurt ice cream is delicious too.
The SIRI HOUSE Brunch menu is available on Saturdays from 11.30am to 2.30pm (last order 2pm) and on Sundays from 11.30 am to 9.00pm (last order 8pm.
