breakfast in the park

What can be better than having breakfast in the lush greenery on a lazy Sunday. Canopy is set right in the heart of Bishan Park where you can sit back and savour a hearty breakfast or a relaxing brunch. Although Canopy is a stone's throw from my place, I can't afford to have breakfast there every weekend. The Eggs Benedict cost much more than Ya Kun's Soft-Boiled Egg. But then again, it's so much easier to prepare the latter. I've tried cooking poached egg but did not succeed. Then there's the Hollandaise sauce which is not simple to prepare either. Maybe I should get the ready-made Hollandaise Sauce Mix from McCormick. Still, for the sake of my pocket, I'm going to try making Egg Benedict, whether it's from scratch or not.

The first time I tasted Eggs Benedict was in Melbourne–The Fringe Cafe. It was unforgettable. And when I revisited Melbourne, C brought me to yet another fabulous restaurant, Georges, for brunch. The spread was even better. I don't think it was that affordable either but when you're abroad, somehow, price isn't the factor. For now, before I get to fly a thousand miles (early next year, I hope) to visit my precious nieces in Melbourne, here's a good enough substitute just a few steps away.



Eggs Florentine is a healthier version of Eggs Benedict as the bacon is replaced with spinach.



The BLT Sandwich served with fries and loads of greens.



What's breakfast without coffee to perk you up?



The Steak Sandwich which I had with M on a separate occasion was good too(sorry, I can't seem to find the picture).

Great ambience, good food but the service was a letdown. The waitresses and waiters were obviously more attentive towards the expat families.

L promised me a free cuppa at Jones The Grocer. I'm looking forward to that day because I can get to eat my favourite Eggs Benedict at a discount too!
