808 Weekend Brunch

Went for weekend brunch at 808eatinghouse located in the lively Joo Chiat! The food was beautifully presented, and the service was super friendly. Here’s what we tried, ranked by personal preference:

𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗯 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗵 $23

Absolutely loved the creamy, savory filling with chunky crab meat, chives, and pickled shallots between crispy toast. The pickled apple in the side salad balanced everything so well.

𝗗𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗙𝗮𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀 $14

First time trying financiers made with duck fat instead of butter - super aromatic with a lovely citrus fragrance. I could eat them on their own, but my hubby was all about the chicken liver mousse. He even paired it with the rice and bread from our other dishes!

𝗕𝘂𝗮𝗵 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗸 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗼 $18

The shredded rojak flower added such a unique fragrance to every bite! The golden, crispy fried bao was filled with tender, perfectly braised pork belly - delicious without being too fatty.

𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 $18

The rice was perfectly steamed using pandan and chicken fat. Sprinkled with prawns and chicken floss, and served with crispy fried chicken thigh. This dish was full of aroma and flavour.

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗞𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗧𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁 $8

The toast was almost too pretty to eat! Topped with piped kaya, flower petals, and a sprinkle of sea salt, the thick toast came from their neighbor @174bingo (who happens to be a regular customer too!).

𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁 $13

This was such a unique fusion dessert! From the crunchy dehydrated red date to the nutty toasted sesame and candied goji berries. The pickled white fungus paired nicely with the mildly sweet black sesame parfait. Best for sharing!

𝗜𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗮 $6.50

A perfect balance of espresso, milk, and chocolate. Smooth and satisfying.

𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗞𝗼𝗺𝗯𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗮 $8

Tried the “Mulled Fruits” flavour by @mia.booch - refreshing and fruity, it paired so well with all the dishes.

Already planning my next visit to try the 𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗬𝘂𝗺 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘀 and 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵-𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 recommended by chef owner!
