Edge @ Pan Pacific Singapore - More Scrumptuous Sunday Brunch with New Live Stations

Sunday brunch at Edge is now even more scrumptious with new spreads curated by Executive Chef Andy Oh and his Culinary Team. The buffet lineup spans Singaporean, Chinese, Malay, Indian, Japanese, Thai, and Western cuisines, along with a comprehensive Breakfast Station.

Breakfast Station, Egg Benedict 4.5/5

The Breakfast Station delights with a live egg station, offering omelettes, scrambled eggs, and sunny-side-up eggs made to order. I especially loved the addition of Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon, accompanied by Chicken and Pork sausages, Streaky Pork Bacon, Grilled Tomatoes, and Sautéed Mushrooms.

12-hour Slow-roasted Gigantic Veal Leg 4/5

Signature Carvings Station 4.5/5

A must-visit is the Signature Carvings Station, featuring an impressive 12-hour slow-roasted gigantic veal leg with Yorkshire pudding alongside Roasted Five-spice Whole Golden Pig with Hai Xian sauce, roasted Virginia Ham Hock, and Herb-roasted Whole Lamb with lamb jus and yoghurt mint sauce.

Master Butcher Handcrafted Cold Cut 4.5/5

If you enjoy charcuterie, the Master Butcher Handcrafted Cold Cut selection pairs perfectly with a glass of wine or champagne — and if you opt for the Bottomless Package, you'll enjoy Taittinger Brut Champagne. The spread includes gorgeous Jamón Ibérico, Pan Pacific home-cured beef salami, chicken ham, pastrami, mortadella, paprika Lyoner, and meatloaf.

Asian Delights 4.8/5

Salt-baked Chinese Herbs Free-range Chicken 4.5/5

The Asian Delights section is another highlight, featuring Chef Andy’s signature "wok hei" Penang Char Kway Teow and Edge’s signature black vinegar pork trotters. I also enjoyed the Chinese "Shao Xing" Wine White Clam lala and the Salt-baked Chinese herbs Free-range Chicken, complemented by Wok-fried USA asparagus with scallops in XO sauce.

Fresh Pacific Seafood on Ice 4/5

Steamed Whole Mud Crab with Chinese Herbs in Lotus Leaf 4/5

One of the mainstays is the Fresh Pacific Seafood on Ice, a luxurious spread of Boston lobster, snow crab legs, tiger prawns, Pacific clams, half-shell scallops, crawfish, sea conch, black mussels, and live oysters. Elevating the seafood experience further is the Seafood Live Station, which serves Steamed Whole Mud Crab with Chinese Herbs in Lotus Leaf.

Apple Strudel 4/5

Assortment of Tarts and French Pastries 4.5/5

Desserts are aplenty, including a new live station serving Crêpes Suzette with Grand Marnier sauce and sliced oranges, a Chocolate fountain with an array of condiments, and an assortment of tarts and French pastries. But my favourite was the Apple Strudel, featuring a deliciously thin, flaky crust encasing tender apple chunks.

HighHouse @ One Raffles Place - Third Edition of Its Monthly Brunch Series, "Brunch Out! Arcade Appetites: Vroom Vroom."

HighHouse at One Raffles Place hosts a monthly brunch series on the last Saturday of each month from 11.30 am to 3.30 pm. On August 29th, they held their third edition, themed around the annual F1 races: "Brunch Out! Arcade Appetites: Vroom Vroom." The brunch featured a diverse array of food stations, offering a distinctive range of dishes to suit various tastes.

Yellowfin Tuna and Spanish Octopus Ceviche 3.8/5

The Ceviche Bar provided a light start, featuring Yellowfin Tuna and Spanish Octopus Ceviche brightened by zesty Philippine Pineapple Salsa. The combination of both seafood elements offered a satisfying textural bite, while the guacamole added creaminess and enhanced the overall mouthfeel.

BBQ Glazed & White Pepper Sakura Pork Belly 5/5, Australian Wagyu Beef Brisket 3.8/5

The Live Carving Station was undoubtedly the most popular, offering two standout items: Oven Baked BBQ Glazed & White Pepper Sakura Pork Belly and Mexican Style Josper Grilled Australian Wagyu Beef Brisket. The pork belly shone with its ultra-tender meat and glaze that perfectly complemented its richness. The brisket, while flavorful, leaned towards the drier side. The deeply caramelised Honey Soy Brussel sprouts and grilled pineapples were pure deliciousness!

48-month-aged Jamon Iberico De Bellota 3/5

For cheese lovers, the Cheese Counter offers a selection of fine cheese and a 48-month-aged Jamon Iberico De Bellota, an ideal pairing with the free-flowing Telmont champagne, selected wines, and cocktails included with the ticket.

Other stations included a Steam Fish Station serving Greenland Halibut prepared en papillote, a Salad Bar, and a Dessert Counter, ensuring a wide range of palates were catered to.

The ticket was priced at $138++ with complimentary free-flow Telmont champagne, selected wines and cocktails. Each ticket has three coupons to exchange for three dishes from the various food stations. It's a weird concept, but it probably works for those who drink a lot over the food.

Summer Hill @ Claymore Connect - Provençal Pique-Nique Brunch Trolley Inspired by The French Tradition of Elegant Picnics

Summer Hill first made a name for itself in the quaint neighbourhood of Sunset Way, Clementi. Since then, the restaurant has relocated to a more central spot at Claymore Connect on Orchard Road, where it continues to charm diners with its rustic French fare. I recently visited Summer Hill on a Saturday to experience their new Provençal Pique-Nique Brunch Trolley, which showcases an array of southern French summer delicacies.

The concept behind the Provençal Pique-Nique Brunch Trolley is simple and delightful. The staff serve one round of everything on the menu, and if you find something you particularly love, you can request more. It's a leisurely, indulgent experience that makes you feel like you're dining in the French countryside.

The Provençal Pique-Nique Brunch Trolley
Available from 15 June 2024 onwards
Every Saturday & Sunday; 11am & 1.30pm (2-seatings)
$69++ per person (half price for kids under 12 @ $34.50++)
$55++ for free flow prosecco & wines

Artichoke, Roasted Red Pepper and Whipped Goats Cheese, Herbs & Olives Dips 4.2/5

Provencale Pate de Campagne 4.2/5

We began our brunch with warm Baguette served alongside a trio of dips: Artichoke, Roasted Red Pepper, and Whipped Goat's Cheese, Herbs & Olives. The baguette was perfectly crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, making it the ideal vehicle for the rich, flavorful dips. I also enjoyed pairing the warm baguette with the Provençale Pate de Campagne, which had a lovely depth of flavour.

Sauce Gribiche with Grilled Zucchini 4/5

Grilled Swordfish Nicoise Salad 4/5

Next, we moved on to some lighter appetisers, including Sauce Gribiche with Grilled Zucchini and Grilled Swordfish Niçoise Salad. The zucchini was perfectly grilled, with a slight char complementing the tangy sauce gribiche. The swordfish Niçoise salad was fresh and well-balanced, with tender grilled fish paired with the classic Niçoise components like olives, eggs, and tomatoes.

Mac & Cheese 3.8/5

Lamb Shoulder Parmentier 4.2/5

After the appetisers, the first trolley arrived with Mac & Cheese and Lamb Shoulder Parmentier. The dishes were served tableside, adding a touch of elegance to the experience. The mac & cheese was creamy and comforting, while the lamb shoulder parmentier was hearty and rich, with tender lamb layered over buttery mashed potatoes.

Provencale Fried Chicken 4.8/5

The standout dish for me was the Provençale Fried Chicken. Summer Hill's signature French Fried Chicken gets a Provençale twist with a fragrant herbs de Provence-infused butter drench. The result is a crispy, aromatic exterior that gives way to juicy, flavourful chicken. It was so good that I couldn't resist asking for a second helping.

Beef Steak 4/5

The brunch menu also featured a beautifully grilled Beef Steak. The beef had a gorgeous exterior char with a perfectly pink centre, offering a robust and satisfying flavour. It was an excellent complement to the other dishes on the menu.

Clams Marinere 4.8/5

The seafood trolley brought a pot brimming with Clams Marinière. The clams were fresh, plump, and juicy, cooked in a white wine broth that was both light and flavourful.

Snow Cone Bar 4/5

Midway through the meal, the Snow Cone Bar opened, allowing diners to create their own shaved ice desserts. It was a fun, interactive element that added a touch of nostalgia to the brunch. Diners could drizzle different syrups and pair them with a selection of toppings, making for a refreshing palate cleanser.

Provencale Roasted Pork Belly 4.5/5

Summer Bean Stew with Green Chilli Persillade 4.8/5

The highlight of the brunch for me was the Provençale Roasted Pork Belly. The pork belly had an incredibly crispy crackling skin and succulent flesh, which paired beautifully with a bowl of Summer Bean Stew with Green Chili Persillade. The stew was hearty and flavourful, with a hint of spice from the green chilli that complemented the richness of the pork.

Cherry Tart 3.5/5

Chocolate Stout Cake 4/5

The dessert trolley featured both a Cherry Tart and a Chocolate Stout Cake. While these desserts were sure to satisfy those with a sweet tooth, I found them a bit too sweet for my liking.

Lavender Milk Cake 4.2/5

Instead, I adored the Lavender Milk Cake. It was well-balanced and not overly sweet, with a lovely lavender fragrance that made for a perfect ending to the meal.

Summer Hill’s Provençal Pique-Nique Brunch Trolley is a delightful experience that transports you to the south of France. The variety of dishes ensures there’s something for everyone, and the free-flow option for prosecco and wines makes it even more enjoyable. Whether you're a fan of French cuisine or simply looking for a unique brunch experience in Singapore, this is definitely worth checking out.

Ya Ge (雅阁) @ Orchid Hotel - A Refined Weekend Dim Sum Brunch with 47 Items to Choose From

Ya Ge (雅阁) at Orchid Hotel Singapore has launched a refined new Weekend Dim Sum Brunch, offering an array of exquisite dim sum dishes, flavourful soups, hearty mains, and decadent desserts. Diners can select up to 15 dishes from the extensive menu, making it a perfect choice for those looking to indulge in a lavish and leisurely meal.

Abalone Siew Mai 4.2/5

We started our brunch with a selection of new dim sum creations that truly elevated the dining experience. The Abalone Siew Mai is a luxurious take on the classic pork siew mai, topped with a whole abalone that adds a touch of elegance and richness to the dish.

Steamed Mala Flavoured Pork Siew Mai topped with Baby Octopus 4/5

Another standout was the Steamed Mala Flavoured Pork Siew Mai topped with Baby Octopus. This dish combines the familiar flavours of siew mai with the bold, spicy kick of mala, topped with tender baby octopus. It's perfect for those who enjoy a bit of heat in their dim sum.

Deep-fried Red Garoupa Fillet and Mango Roll 4/5

The Deep-fried Red Garoupa Fillet and Mango Roll was a delightful surprise, featuring a crispy exterior that encased tender garoupa fillet and sweet mango, complemented by a tangy mango sauce.

Pan-fried Tom Yum Mee Suan Kueh with Fresh Prawn 2.8/5

One of the most inventive dishes we tried was the Pan-fried Tom Yum Mee Sua Kueh with Fresh Prawn. The dish features a tom yum-flavoured prawn atop a crisp mee sua toast. However, it lacked the softer, more comforting texture of traditional fried mee sua kueh. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you're a fan of the Swee Choon's version.

Double-boiled Chicken Soup with Matsuke Mushroom, Dendrobium Steam and Conpoy 4/5

Braised Lobster Broth with Fresh Crab Meat and Crab Roe 4.2/5

For the soup options, we sampled the Double-boiled Chicken Soup with Matsuke Mushroom, Dendrobium Stem and Conpoy, as well as the Braised Lobster Broth with Fresh Crab Meat and Crab Roe. Both soups were rich and deeply flavorful, with the lobster broth standing out for its luxurious and briny taste.

Traditional Xiao Long Bao 3.5/5

Barbeque Pork Rice Roll 3.5/5

Pan-fried Chinese Sausage Carrot Cake 2.8/5

We also indulged in some of Ya Ge's more classic dim sum offerings, including the Traditional Xiao Long Bao, Barbeque Pork Rice Roll, and Pan-fried Chinese Sausage Carrot Cake. These classic dishes were executed to perfection, each bite bursting with familiar and comforting flavours.

Salted Egg Yolk Custard Lava Bun 4.5/5

Crispy Mini Pumpkin Pastry with Minced Chicken, Mushroom and Thyme 4.5/5

Crispy Ugly Duckling with Chicken, Yam and Mushroom 4.2/5

A few dishes stood out as personal favourites among the dim sum selections. The Salted Egg Yolk Custard Lava Bun is a must-try, with its soft, fluffy dough infused with pandan flavour and filled with rich, oozing salted egg yolk custard. Another delightful bite was the Crispy Mini Pumpkin Pastry with Minced Chicken, Mushroom, and Thyme. The pastry had a chewy texture that became more enjoyable with each bite. Lastly, the Crispy Ugly Duckling with Chicken, Yam, and Mushroom was packed with flavour and texture, making it an irresistible choice.

Peking Duck 4.2/5

Ya Ge's Weekend Dim Sum Brunch also features a live station that rotates weekly, offering dishes such as Peking Duck, Sliced Spotted Garoupa Pao Fan, Xiao Long Bao with Crab Roe Filling, Herbal Crispy Duck Roll, and more. During our visit, we were treated to the Peking Duck, a classic dish that was expertly prepared and a pleasure to eat.

Claypot French 'An Xin' Chicken in Traditional Kam Heong Style 4.5/5

If you think dim sum is the only highlight, think again. The brunch also includes several main courses that are worth trying. The Claypot French 'An Xin' Chicken in Traditional Kam Heong Style was a standout, with tender chicken pieces cooked in a fragrant lemongrass and kam heong sauce that was so delicious, it had me craving for a bowl of rice to go with it.

Braised Dong Po Iberico Pork 4.2/5

Another memorable dish was the Braised Dong Po Iberico Pork, which was cooked to perfection, melting in the mouth with every bite.

Braised Mee Pok with Eggplant and Kurobuta Minced Pork 4.2/5

We opted for the Braised Mee Pok with Eggplant and Kurobuta Minced Pork for our carbo fix. The sauce was rich and savoury, complementing the perfectly cooked noodles that had just the right amount of bite.

Chilled Lemongrass Jully, Chilled Mango Pomelo Sago 4/5

We indulged in desserts like the Chilled Lemongrass Jelly and Chilled Mango Pomelo Sago to wrap up our sumptuous brunch. Both desserts were light, sweet, and refreshing, providing a perfect end to our meal.

First Seating: 11.30am - 1.30pm (Last Order at 1pm)
Second Seating: 12.30pm - 2.30pm (Last Order at 2pm)
