J-emine's reflexionando

Sunday brunch is usually save for the bestie. I like to say it’s my weekly sanity check-in day – where I get to air my weekly rambles and she’ll sit back and let me go on with nary a care to what flows from my random mind, whilst throwing in her nuggets of wisdom, whenever I stop to catch my breath. Love her to bits.

This Sunday, we headed over to check out Wild Honey’s latest sibling, Sacha & Sons, which conveniently took over half of Wild Honey’s space at their Mandarin Gallery outlet. Sacha and Sons aims to bring New York Deli food to our local shores with the likes of cold cuts, pickles, cured meat and fish etc.

Since meat is slowly being eliminated from the diet, my choice from the menu was the toasted bagel with huge dollop of cream cheese, tomatoes, onions and capers. I’ve been moaning long enough that we don’t have decent bagel choices here in Singapore, so I was pretty excited to try out the bagels offered at S&S, and it turned out to be pretty decent – the crust was firm, dense in the middle and chewy. It was missing the medium brown glow and could have been denser in the middle but the huge dollop of cream cheese was a good cover-up.

Bestie had the pastrami sandwich (regular size) and gave a thumbs up to the generous portion and together, we shared a latke – this hands down was my favorite, the simplicity of potato and onion mashed and fried to form a pancake batter, topping it off with sweet and savory spin in the form of apple sauce and sour cream.

Let’s just say I needed a huge pot of green tea thereafter, but calories worth gaining and definitely adding this on the list of Sunday brunchin choices by yours truly aka creature of habit.

Okay, it’s Bikram x 4 this week, again!
