Long Brunch Of Gourmet Goodies With Free-Flow Champers

We love a weekend, and we love a brunch – and there’s nothing quite like a long brunch of gourmet goodies with free-flow champers as the cherry on top! Here are some to try when your next weekend rolls around.

Edge

7 Raffles Boulevard, Level 3 Pan Pacific Singapore 6826 8240 | panpacific.com

Why: For cuisines of every kind

When: Saturdays and Sundays, 12pm-3pm

What’s popping: We’d heard good things about the champagne brunch here, in particular the fresh seafood and sashimi as well as the wide variety of cuisines. Sure enough, even though we tried to pace ourselves, we simply couldn’t try everything on offer!

There were Japanese and Middle Eastern dishes, house-made fresh Italian pastas, Indian and Malaysian flavours, local heritage delights and Cantonese roast delicacies and dim sum. Not forgetting cold cuts, European farm cheeses, salads, eggs, soups, a carving station and a selection of mains. Our absolute favourites included the Boston lobster, fresh oysters, sashimi, foie gras, chicken satay, Nyonya five-spice Kurobuta pork sausage, Singapore chilli crab and the cheeses.

Leave space for dessert! It consists of a huge selection of fruit, ice creams, Nyonya kueh, chocolate ganache and praline, chocolate fondue and Japanese sweets. As fans of durian, we couldn’t get enough of the durian terrine and durian pandan cake.

We recommend coming on Sunday ($98 adults, $49 children) as the selection is more extensive than on Saturday ($65 adults, $32.50 children). There’s the option of unlimited alcoholic beverages (add $48) such as signature cocktails – the passionfruit mojito is refreshing – or unlimited Taittinger champagne (add $90).

We were the second-last table to leave – we clearly wanted the experience to go for as long as possible!
