Review: Brunch at Bravery

Have been wanting to go to Bravery to try their food but I guess I was just too lazy to walk over. It's close enough that I don't have a bus to take me there but it's also too far to walk in Singapore's heat. Besides Jalan Besar is one of those places which you go only for cafe hopping (and watching football?) so there is not much to do after eating. While walking over, I noticed that they are going to open a new burger king outlet near lavender MRT! YIPEEEEE! New lunch/ dinner options are always welcome!

I digress. Back to talking about The Bravery.  I have actually walked past it before I knew what it was. There was no signboard and the door didn't even look like a door. Haha.

Picture from The Bravery. (Sorry, we don't take photos of the places we eat at. We just stare at the menu, stare at each other then eat.)

See right! When I walked past the place for the first time, I couldn't tell which was the door because I thought they were all just multicoloured full length windows.  In any case, the door is the gold one. This is so that others don't foolishly stare at the door like me.

The place had a really nice, chill vibe going on. Also, because we were there at around 10.30 am on a Saturday, the place was not too crowded. There were only like 4 or 5 other customers in the place.

First thing we noticed when we looked at the menu was that their selection was quite little. Normally, when I look at a menu, I can't decide what to have because there's too much to choose from but this was not the case. B decided to have the Brave Bagedeil while I decided to have the raunchy eggs.

Brave Bagedil: Poached eggs with turkey bacon and avocado with corned beef hash.

Our $17 Bagedil. You know how people complain about how overpriced brunch is because the ingredients are super cheap? I see the complaint super vividly in this dish considering how cheap bagedils normally are.

The portion was very small considering the price. The turkey bacon was also over fried. It totally lost the meat like texture and seemed more like a cracker. Some people like that but we were not really fans of that.

It was an interesting dish though. The flavour was really spot on and though the avocado seemed a little out of place when we read the menu, it added a nice texture to the dish.

Raunchy eggs: 2 fried eggs with spicy beans with anchovies, parmesan and shredded cabbage on tortilla.

This cost us $14. Yes, yes. I should have already realised how overpriced it was when reading the menu but still, seeing is realising.

It tasted... meh. It was just fried eggs on tortilla. I also couldn't taste the anchovies in the beans. There was nothing particularly enjoyable in the dish. I was just eating for the sake of eating, you know what I mean?

While the food was mediocre and pricey, both B and I felt that there was a possibility that we might return. We saw this girl sitting alone with her laptop, planning a trip. Perhaps we might return, order a couple of drinks and just drink, talk and even plan trips. It's a nice place to just sit down and chat.
