KY eats – awesome egg benedict at Canopy Garden Dining, Singapore
Over the weekends we went to Singapore for a super short trip as Haze & Angel wanted to visit an art exhibit and a Singaporean friend. We drove down on Friday night and naturally waking up hungry the next day looking for wholesome breakfast to start the day.
Our Singaporean guide traversed half the country and brought us to Canopy Garden Dining at Ang Mo Kio, promising a place with pretty good egg benedict. We weren’t at a position to suggest anything else, so we rolled along.
Canopy Garden Dining at Ang Mo Kio
Canopy Garden Dining is pretty much a restaurant within a garden, with plants surrounding the mostly alfresco dining area and even a rooftop that’s planted with greenery.
We reached at almost noon with the hot sun up above, so seated outside was a little warm though acceptable. I’m guessing the dining experience would have been greater in the morning.
Egg Royale, with poached eggs and smoked salmon
We came here for the egg benedicts, so we ordered both the Egg Royale and Classic Egg Benedict ($15).
Unlike most places that takes forever to prepare a pair of proper poached eggs, our serving arrived in about 5 minutes. I was really impressed with the speed.
Both dishes came with a side of salad with vinaigrette and sautéed mushroom. The poached eggs were perfectly prepared and draped with hollandaise sauce on English muffins. The classic version came with ham, while “royale” with smoked salmon. We really liked them.
Classic Egg Benedict and Buttermilk Pancake
If you’re into pancakes, the buttermilk pancake ($8.5) here is worth trying as well, it comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and maple syrup.
Additionally, coffee served at Canopy Garden Dining is also of pretty decent quality.
In all, it’s a rather pleasant place for a lazy weekend breakfast in this otherwise overly fast paced country.
