Hummerstons

Since we started our food hunt, the sun and i have visited quite a few places and my list of places-to-go has lost its initial novelty and excitement. To freshen up and inject new blood to my list, i researched and added around 15 new places one fine night. I must say i'm really impressed at singapore's food scene. There are constantly new and interesting places popping up that boast both good atmosphere and good food. I've dug through links after links and webpages after webpages and i'm sure that that is only the tip of the iceberg i have scraped. So our food hunt journey must continue to discover more!

school has started for us (actually its just me , cos the sun doesn't go for her class) and we havent really had the chance to visit any where new and exciting in recent times. So i was really looking forward to the new brunch place that we were going that day. Hummerstons! Upon seeing the interior through photos online, i knew the sun is going to like this place.

Hummerstons is a relatively new restaurant opened by the ex-executive chef of P.s. cafe. It is tucked in a quiet corner on the 2nd level of robertson walk. I like the tranquil and quaint feeling that the area gives. So near the city and yet excluded from all the bustling commotion.

the centre piece of the restaurant, the bar.

the interior is well designed and warm yellow lights set the tone for the entire restaurant. It was really pretty on the inside with re-upholstered chairs and table imported from bali and texturised white bricked walls.

hummerstons breakfast

The eggs benedict and the hummerstons breakfast were decent. Not too bad but nothing fantastic as well. Have to say their poached eggs were alittle over cooked for my liking. But in such a nice place, we weren't too concerned by the food and were busy snapping photos and soaking up the atmosphere.

coffee tables and chairs

when we were there, there were a couple of people sipping their coffee and nibbling on cakes whilst reading a book. The coffee tables and chairs there were perfect for some afternoon reading, but sadly both the sun and i arent avid bookworms.

hummerstons' menu

Hummerstons is one of the nicest place around for a weekend brunch. The food is decent, the place is beautiful, the price is not overly expensive and location is good. Best of all it is not crowded which is one of my criteria for having a good lovely saturday brunch. We were there for brunch but apparently their dinner menu is their specialty and they have pretty good desserts. I supposed the place would be even lovelier after dusk.
