Claisebrook Road’s go-to for morning fuel trades breakfast clichés for sharp savoury depth. Operating right in front of the quiet, minimalist dining space, the open counter plates up bowls of gourmet mi goreng layered with shiitake mushrooms, a sous vide egg, and slow-cooked pork belly. Local regulars rely on the dialed-in batch brew, settling in while floor staff top up table water unprompted. The truffled egg sandwich delivers serious texture—fluffy scramble over crunchy toast cut with shaved parmesan, a prick of chili, and vinegar-dressed greens.
- Inventive Savoury Plates: Elevated mi goreng with sous vide egg and shiitake mushrooms, toasted pulled lamb, and truffled egg sandwiches on crunchy toast.
- Calibrated Specialty Coffee: Pours dialed-in batch brew and espresso drinks in a clean, minimalist space away from city clutter.
- Front-and-Centre Open Kitchen: Compact equipment and prep counters sit right in front of guests so diners can watch every plate assemble.
