341. Riders Cafe

100CANON-1

I finally got my laptop back and thus uploaded my pictures. Brunch at Riders Cafe a week ago was a casual food blogger's affair. Met up with Harris, Elaine and Angeline&Sis. Brunch on a beautiful Sunday is nothing more you could ask for especially after 2 hectic weeks with all the year-end public holidays buried in a pile of work.
Riders Cafe is located at Bukit Timah Saddle Club, a rather inaccessible place but thanks to our Harris for the ride.

Morning Pancakes @$10
I love Pancakes! A slab of butter, a spoonful of berry compete and the very important maple syrup and maybe just a bit of the sinful whipped cream, they comes in a set with the pancakes, aren't they? The very much flattered pancakes rose to "stardom", tagged as the hot favourite at Riders Cafe. And it was not at all overrated. Fluffy and light. The way the pancakes were stacked looked like stacked-up Michelin tyres.

Frankly speaking, it made me wonder if I am eating more soda bicarbonate?

Elaine's pick
The smoked salmon looked good. Elaine had the portebello mushrooms replaced with smoked salmon. And she commented the prawns were dry.

Harris's pick
Harris let us tried a bit of his beef patty. Not sure if I'm lucky, I actually had soft bones in the bit of beef. Not sure if Harris had a fair bit of them in his beef patty. If that's so, it would be quite disturbing. Haha. But, taste wise was fairly good and because it turned cold after the photo-taking, I think it could be better if eaten hot.

Angeline's pick - Eggs Florentine

Angeline said her poached eggs were not runny enough. I think likewise and the hollandaise sauce was not enough.
It was a pleasant brunch, getting to know the people who shared the same passion. We saw a brown and white horse but we didn't manage to take photographs of the horses. We were seated nearer to the carpark so we didn't smell the urine smell of horses which some had mentioned of.
