Brunch

Living in sin is the new thing as it is beyond a shadow of a doubt in this glorious three-way dish that fuses elements of crème brûlée, grilled cheese sandwich and french toast. Indulge in this ménage-à-trois dipped in egg, coated in sugar and caramelized with a blowtorch, with molten cheese oozing out from within. As your teeth sinks down into the sandwich, it will first meet a thin layer of hard caramel that shatters upon impact, followed by the soft, fluffy, eggy goodness of the bread and in the core is a little taste of heaven itself – thick, rich and creamy molten cheese that inundates your tastebuds with waves of pleasure. The sandwich is served with a side of fresh cream to amp up the sweet and creamy decadence, and a kaleidoscopic lineup of fresh seasonal fruits and edible flowers.

You can choose to order Plentyfull’s signature mashed avocado on grilled sourdough with the option of adding on heritage tomatoes and halloumi (+$6), house smoked salmon (+$5), house smoked bacon (+$4), or two sous vide organic eggs (+$3). We had our avocado toast with the addition of heritage tomatoes and halloumi. The mashed avocado strangely tastes a little like tuna salad, perhaps due to the seasoning mixed within. We prefer our avocado on toast to taste more like a zesty, ever-green and creamy guacamole instead. The chunks of halloumi cheese are dense, salty and with a springy texture, which is a nice welcoming accent in the toast. However, the tomatoes had a bizarre taste of sour plums and just do not sit well with this dish.

Plentyfull’s signature griddled flatbread is baked and grilled in house and has a soft, light and pliable texture. Its subtle and neutral taste makes it the perfect receptable to thoroughly enjoy the umami seaweed butter and floral elderflower balsamic vinegar, both hand-made from scratch in Plentyfull’s kitchen.

Finally had the much raved about Hokkaido Cheese Toast from Say Chiizu at Artbox Singapore 2018. It really does live up to its hype, with the buttery and crumbly toast sandwiched between a molten layer of rich and milky cheese that stretches on forever.
