Finally made it to Choupinette after much reading about their nice brunch sets!
Parking around Bukit Timah was horrendous. It took them so long to get a parking lot at the nearby mall... and the brunch date was almost called-off. So no more meetups / brunch / kopi(s) along Bukit Timah...
Choupinette located at a corner at the junction of Coronation Walk that serves very yummy brunch sets. Eggs benny sets serves poached eggs with a choice of ham, smoked salmon or spinach on toasted bread and the set comes with a small glass of juice and a hot drink. Really no regret having brunch here (although we had a long wait for our date to arrive for brunch...)!
I must say, prices are on the high side... S$21/set for two eggs, two pieces of bread and ham/smoked salmon plus two drinks. Their 'big breakfast' set cost S$19... The bill coughed out to be about $90+ for a brunch of four-and-a-half (including Widjaya's kids' set). Price OK not OK?
Mmm, but seems alot of Gen X & Y are here for their brunch (they seemed richer than those days we were still youngsters...). Last time we where have the money to splurge on such meals one... at most is McDees after school or weekend breakfast paid for using our own pocket moneyde wor! #thosewerethedayswhenwearestillkids
After brunch, it was an impromptu trip to Har Par Villa with the Gohs! I was caught off guard and did not bring my anti-sun weapon out! Lucky me, I wore long sleeves... but will still try to take cover every now and then within the shades while treaking along the hillsteps. Heeee!
It didn't take long for us to 'complete' the tour. Halfway through, everyone was complaining HOT... and went for a much-needed water break at a nearby god-forsaken canteen. There you find old vending machine, dispensing NON-chilled can drinks! ++HOW can it be happening on sucha HOT HOT HOT Saturday++ Don't think we will be back to continue the '18 Level Hell' tour anytime soon... Heh! Surprised that there are still fair bit of new visitors strolling into the villa that caught my eyes while we make our way out to the carpark... MmMmm, what are theses people thinking...? Either STB is doing a good job or the tour information hasn't been updated somewhere somehow... :P
