Celebrate Sundays with loved ones over a new rustic farm-style communal brunch at The Masses, located in Capitol Singapore. Their Franco-Asian experience celebrates seasonal produce through a 10-dish sharing menu, priced at $68.80++ per adult and $38++ per child (6–10 years). Children 5 and below dine free with a complimentary main.
Sunday Communal Brunch 4.2/5
The brunch is available every Sunday, with two seatings at 11am and 4pm, and requires a minimum of two diners with full table participation.
Freshly Shucked Oysters
To elevate your brunch, top up for Freshly Shucked Oysters ($30++ for 6) from their mobile oyster cart, featuring Boutrais La Sentinelle from Ireland and Amelie Super Spéciale from France.
If you’re in the mood for a drink, add on free-flow prosecco at $48++, or opt for prosecco and wines on tap at $58++ per person.
Bread & Dips
The Bread & Dips was simple yet delicious, comprising sourdough, brioche, and baguette paired with strawberry jam, smashed avocado, and a standout umami butter rich with kombu. The butter was so addictive that I was tempted to take home a jar with me (they are available for sale). The smashed avocado, accompanied by a generous drizzle of olive oil, was perfect with the bread as well.
Salade
Next was a refreshing Salade of crunchy haricot vert beans, strawberries, brillat-savarin cheese, and hazelnuts, brightened with a tangy honey mustard dressing.
Cold Cuts
The Cold Cuts Platter featured an assortment of pork and chicken liver pâté, salmon rillettes, Parma ham, and hot-smoked mackerel, served with breadsticks, pickled mushrooms, pearl onions, cornichons, Pommery mustard, and cornichons. If the breadsticks are insufficient for you, you can request more bread to pair.
Caviar
The Caviar arrived next, accompanied by thin homemade potato chips paired with a sour cream dip featuring egg, chives, and caviar. It was lighter than we expected, and we wished there was a touch bit more salt for better balance.
Tartare
For Tartare, we had slices of hay-smoked hamachi crudo paired with zesty grapefruit and orange. The balance of citrus and smokiness worked well.
Seasonal Roasted Mushrooms
We were excited to learn that the restaurant collaborates with local farmers every month to offer a curated selection of seasonal dishes. During our visit, we had Seasonal Roasted Mushrooms - incredibly fresh and lightly dressed, allowing the natural, earthy flavours to come through.
Egg
For the next Egg dish, diners will be presented with Scrambled Eggs topped with thinly shaved winter black truffle. It was a pity that this was a touch dry for us.
Signature Meat
We moved on to the Signature Meat: a Crispy Chicken Leg with tender meat finished with a luscious sauce suprême. This was one of our stars of the brunch.
Chef’s Special
The Chef's Special featured the Barramundi Ala Meuniere sat atop brown butter, with capers, herbs and citrus.
Before moving on to the final sweet, it's worth noting that second helpings of dishes are also available, specifically the Bread & Dips, Caviar, Tartare, and Signature Meat.
Dessert
Dessert paled slightly in comparison to the savouries even though it was served nicely warm, as their Blueberry Tart with Rhubarb Jam came with a softer crust than we’d prefer.
