Symmetry at Jalan Kubor

Last Sunday, we popped by Symmetry at Jalan Kubor to try out their brunch! I haven't got the time to properly blog about it because I was so tired and busy last week. Thankfully I've nothing on today, so I'm just chilling at home, giving myself a good break.

Symmetry has quite an understated facade and their signboard is super tiny. Without prior research, I imagine it will be quite hard to locate the place. Thank god for the internet.
We were there at about 12pm and we managed to get a table at the alfresco area within 5min. The indoor area has a quirky indie vibe, but it's pretty small and dark (hence the lack of photos). The alfresco area is a lot brighter, and is a more suitable setting for brunch in my opinion!
Symmetry uses free-range eggs in their dishes! I supposed that explains why their prices are slightly higher than your average cafes.
For mains, I ordered the truffle eggs mushroom ($21). I FREAKING LOVE THIS. If you're a fan of truffle fries, TRY THIS. Just imagine moist scramble eggs and mushrooms soaked in truffle oil. I agree that it's slightly overpriced because the portion is not huge and I don't really care for the toast and the hashbrown, but to me, it's so worth it. I'll definitely go back for more.
Because I choped the truffle eggs and mushrooms, Raymond had to order the eggs benedict ($20), which wasn't too bad too! I'm not sure if it's just a placebo effect, but the egg yolk did feel slightly different than the normal eggs. It's of a brighter orange colour, and the yolk itself was much thicker than conventional egg yolk. I'm not a fan of the muffins below the eggs, as it soaked up all my egg yolk:(
I also ordered the affogato ($6). It was my first time trying an affogato. Heard kx talk about it before, and it sounded quite interesting! If I'm not wrong, it's just a shot of expresso with vanilla ice cream. This is pretty intense for someone who doesn't take coffee on a daily basis, but I think it's worth a try!
Raymond's green tea latte ($5/6) was okay I guess,. Compared to my affogato, it's really nothing too impressive, so we'll probably give it a miss next time we visit.
If you're tired of visiting the same old bugis street and orchard road, perhaps venture into Jalan Kubor and the rows of shophouses there! We saw quite a few quirky lil establishments and picture-worthy spots!
