Anyway I visited Symmetry
quite a while ago. Symmetry had been on my "to eat" list for the longest time.
In fact, this was the second time I visited. The first time when I went without
reservations, I thought there was a queue for a free meal or something. So in
the end I gave up.
Queue for free food? |
Yes that's how insanely
popular Symmetry is. Which I can understand why. I love everything about it. The
brick walls. The cute lamps. The big windows. The menu that shows drawings of
the food instead of real photos. The witty posters and quotes. The music that I
don't know who is the singer but I like it because it makes me feel
cool.
I ordered my favourite drink
of the century (DOTC) aka green tea
latte ($6.50++). Hmmm Symmetry's version is a bit less sweet
and a bit diluted for my liking, although I can still taste the green tea
powder. I prefer the Starbucks version which is sweeter. My fellow
diner ordered a flat white ($5.50++). It was
good per my friend.
And here I present to you the
die die must order: Symmetry Eggs
Benedict ($22++). It comes with two poached eggs sitting on top
off bacon, portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions, aged cheddar and of course
hollandaise sauce. I love the awesome hollandaise sauce and the golden eggs
which flowed like a river. The fragrant toasted bread was crispy at the edges
and fluffy in the centre to soak up the sauce and egg yolk. And I love the bacon
which was savoury salty with a tinge of sweetness. The mushrooms
were a bit bitter and pungent which gave a different dimension in taste to the
whole dish. The lonely looking tomatoes at the side tasted a bit weird and were
strangely not sweet.
My friend got
the waffles with ice-cream $16++ (I don't know how
come got people eat waffles with ice-cream for breakfast). The waffles were
crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Very substantial and will feel
full half way. But I think I prefer Wimbly Lu's version much
more.
Service was not very
attentive and I had to wave frantically to catch the wait staff's attention zzz.
It also took forever for them to give us back our change. But overall they were
polite and friendly lah.
