Brunch at The Coastal Settlement

Finally got to meet *Sharona again, this time we go to The Coastal Settlement as agreed. This cosy, pretty little cafe is located at 200 Netheravon Road, Singapore 508529 and the number to dial is 6475 0200.

As promised, The Coastal Settlement offers a village homely environment filled with haylcon of the nature outdoors and a peek of the sea not far off. Wacky furniture are strewn above and around hte restaurant / cafe  The comfortable setting in this spacious compound brings one away from the hectic-ness of citylife, into a world where one could totally relax and curl up on their seats to enjoy good food and, uh, hard-to-get service (only efficient when clearing plates).

We settled down and I started with a pretty cup of Cappuccino in this charming little respite. Their foam art is very clear, concise and intricate, and the coffee tastes great. It was the perfect warmth-giver in the air-conditioned setting and caffeine boost to kickstart a light but sinful brunch.

We shared the 12 Hours Coastal Wings and Drumlets - half a dozen of crisp-skinned delicacies with succulent flesh and slight tinge of spiciness. They practically crumbled and melted in the mouth like molasses, and the chilli dip goes well with the chicken.

Next, we actually wanted the Truffle Fries but were informed that they were running out of shoestring fries, so we had settled for the Portobello Fries they recommended. This was an interesting item and the first time we tried it - large pieces of portobello mushrooms fried till crispy on the outsisde and a lovely golden-brown shade. The inside is soft and respledant of the strong flavor of the dark mushrooms.

Finally, I decided to have their dessert - Blackforest in a Jar - a very tasty and sweet mess of cream, soft vanille ice-cream, dried dark cherries, brownie cubes and almond flakes in a large glass jar. It was smooth to the touch and definitely contained the perfect after-meal burst of sweet-sour flavors. 

We spent SGD$29.00 each on our brunch, totally satisfied with the ambience, food and catching up session.
