Visited the recently opened , tucked away in Singapore Botanic Gardens 🌿 With all the natural light and lush greenery surrounding the space, it really felt like stepping into another little oasis in the middle of Singapore.
There’s quite a lot to choose from the menu, spanning Western brunch classics to local-inspired dishes. We tried the Joggers Big Breakfast, Brûlée French Toast, Tembusu Nasi Lemak and Udon Laksa, and honestly had a hard time picking a favourite.
The Udon Laksa was especially good - fragrant and creamy with perfectly chewy udon noodles, while the Nasi Lemak came with juicy chicken hindquarter, fragrant blue pea basmati rice, otah, house-made sambal, achar and a sunny side up. The Joggers Big Breakfast was just as well executed, especially the chewy rustic sourdough, creamy scrambled eggs and streaky bacon. The Brûlée French Toast was soft and fluffy with a custardy, moist centre and a sweet caramelised finish - definitely one for the sweet tooth! 🍞✨
For drinks, the Osmanthus Peach Garden was floral and refreshing, while the Strawberry Matcha surprised me the most. It’s slightly thicker and creamier in consistency, which I actually really liked! There’s just a subtle hint of strawberry, letting the creamy, earthy matcha come through. The drink has a good amount of sweetness too. Such a good balance.
This was one of those rare meals where literally everything hit. The airy and relaxed ambience is really lovely too, with plenty of greenery and natural light ☀️ Tembusu is definitely a solid brunch spot with plenty more on the menu I’d want to try. Though when we went on a weekday afternoon, it was already really packed, so I’d recommend making a reservation before heading down!
