Brunch at Hediard

Hediard had been popular since they launched in Singapore, they soon launched lunch and now dinner. During weekend, it attracts people from all parts of Singapore to brunch there. Let see what I have order on this particular Sunday.

Starter: Soup of the day from the Hédiard selection [Mushroom Soup]
I do not usually order a mushroom soup, because to me it is a common soup and might not even up to perfection. However, having tasted Hediard's, I must say it was exceptional. As you can see, this soup is finished with a drizzle of truffle oil and fresh chive. Not over salted, it brings out a thick rich texture and aroma of buttons, followed by a subtle hint of truffle. Spoons after spoons, i finished it so quickly and even feel like ordering another, this leaves me with answer that no cream was added. A good appetizer that warms and wakes my stomach for the mains.

Main: Croq’ Germaine
(Inspired by Germaine Kusel, grand-daughter of Ferdinand, grilled bread
with Parma Ham, gruyere cheese, mornay sauce topped with a fried egg)
Growing up in Singapore, we don't usually eat rustic bread and I don't even know how to even prepare one that will be tasty. Rye bread especially, one can get from Swiss bake and it tasted coarse and hard. This dish leaves me a good impression and impressed me on how tasty rye bread can taste. Rye bread cut in right thickness, toasted to perfection and coated with olive oil and butter, leaving it moist. The parma ham gives it a subtle salty and savory, the mornay sauce binds the taste together. The gruyere cheese topped and toasted gives a good aroma and talking about gruyere cheese, it is the king of cheese for baking and it didn't overpower the whole dishes. Simply lovely.

Dessert: Moelleux chocolate cake with vanilla crème Anglaise
Sad to say, this dish tasted like the ordinary lava cake. Chocolate lava was way too sweet.
One can leave this dessert out if they visit Hediard.

Overall, I really love this place and will definitely go back for another brunch. I have also decided what to have for the next visit. It will definitely be the Hédiard breakfast set. By judging the overall appearance of their bread and majority choice of people, this must be good.
Hediard is definitely be a good place for brunch and I would also want to try out their lunch and dinner someday.
