fat prince, peck seah street.

i've been eyeing fat prince's brunch for the longest time, but because their last order timing is pretty early at 2.30 p.m., it's been hard.

we finally managed to make our way over one rainy saturday afternoon. liked the vibe of the place- it was laidback and chill; the perfect place for a rainy saturday brunch.

i had my eye on the lamb kofte menemen ($26) from the start. never had menemen before and had no idea what it was, but the menu description of scrambled egg, roasted eggplant, crispy potato (!) and zaatar yogurt sounded really good. i was also briefly tempted by the falafel scotch egg ($22), because it's a combination of everything i like, but i wanted something more substantial. J decided on the roasted mushroom menemen ($23).



our food came after a brief wait, and in short, it was good. portions were, happily enough, on the generous side, especially the scrambled eggs. they'd added some sort of middle eastern spice to the scrambled eggs, so they tasted a bit different from the usual. i liked how they'd also included a small side salad of cucumber, cherry tomatoes and olives, as the other items were pretty heavy on the palate. what i didn't get, though, was the bread- it was crispy, sure, but i felt i needed something to dip it into, and the scrambled eggs weren't quite runny enough.



the food was good, but it leant towards the expensive side, and it's not somewhere i can go back regularly to. i was also slightly miffed that they'd added $1 per person to our bill for water, listing it as a donation (?!) for sustainable water. i don't mind donating, but i wish they'd at least informed us beforehand before just charging us. still, i'm glad to have checked it off my to-try list, and the food was good enough that we left satisfied.
