i was at graze for sunday brunch two weeks ago with a very lovely lady. it was my first brunch outing (choupinette not counted) and naturally, i was feeling quite excited over it. brunches are really the IN thing now, but too overhyped and overpriced, if u ask me. but then i don't really mind paying for the ambience and since its been sometime since i visited rochester park, so graze it was.
took some random shots i went around taking before our orders arrived. whats worth mentioning is the strawberry-infused water. i think its visually appealing and is something different as compared to seeing the conventional lemon-infused water. but tastewise, it was hardly spectacular. the berry aroma was faint and tasted somewhat weird. and on the bottom right pic is homemade spice honey and chilli oil that's on every table. i dunno if its politically correct to call the honey "homemade" since they didn't rear the bees haha. but whatever it is, i took a whiff and the whole bottle just screams 'chinese 5-spice" and thats the last thing i want on my pancakes.
the first to arrive was the complimentary toasts with butter & jam. quite good, toasts were nice and soft.
the cast iron pan ($20) that i went to graze especially for it. made up of bratwurst sausages, smoked bacon, mushrooms, roasted potatoes, baked beans, egg & tomato, it didn't disappoint.
banana pancakes ($13) with grilled bananas, walnuts served with redcurrant syrup & vanilla bean ice cream. the pancakes itself was ok, but i really dig the bananas & walnuts. just one of the best combinations around!
also had a cappuccino ($6).
overall a pretty good dining experience, except that the stuffs are really overpriced. frankly, i feel their prices are more hotel than restaurant prices. we didn't order anything else coz there wasn't much (the bbq menu starts at 12pm). morever we weren't in the mood for any eggs ben, neither did we wanna pay $10 for juice and $12 for muesli, so we just had 2 main courses. the warm michel cluizel chocolate tart with fresh bananas, caramel & vanilla ice cream caught my eye tho' but it's 17 bucks.

I believe the seventh day of the week, Sunday, is meant for us to relax and enjoy; without any of the problem and stress that come along as part of the package in our life. I believe breakfast, is the most important meal of the day, having a good start will certainly makes thing behind easier. Brunch, at Graze.
I believe in having a good ambience for me to enjoy my food, albeit paying a slightly higher price, everything is worth it when you get to enjoy this scenery while sipping down a cup of tea, and eating your breakfast.
The al fresco at Graze @ Rochester Park was amazing. The picturesque lush surroundings, the tone of the white colonial-style bungalow. Full stop.
I believe your dining companion plays an even vital part in making the meal an enjoyable one. Given good food but eaten with people you disliked, and ordinary food but with people you enjoyed hanging out with. It’s hell lots of difference.
The little white piece which is so common on our table for the first meal of the day, simply bread. Our original intentions were to order the “door stopper” toasts which consisted four slices of white, wholemeal, multi grain, and cinnamon & raisins toast. But luckily, the waiter informed us that they will served complimentary bread. A slice of white, and wholemeal. Like the Gardenia slogan, so good you can even eat it on its own!
And how can any brunch be short of Egg Benedicts ($17). Classic or smoked salmon and spinach, we opted for the latter. The beautiful poached egg and smoked salmon sat on a piece of slightly char toast. The salty taste of the salmon enhanced the flavour of the wonderful poached egg. I’m so hooked on the idea of having brunch every weekend, if only just for the eggs.
The idea of big-breakfast was clearly conceptualise in the cast iron pan ($20). With the best of everything, bratwurst sausages, smoked bacon, mushroom, tomato, country potato, fried eggs, baked beans, and plum chili salsa. They clearly could read my mind, everything was my favourite, and it came sizzling on the hot pan. And oh yes, I forget to mention how good the mushrooms were! While prices might be slightly steep, and the portions didn’t seem that big, let me assured you, the two of us couldn’t finish everything on this pan.
Total bill was $50.61 for brunch. Contrary to what some people might have say about Graze, I found the service from the staff to be good, they were attentive and friendly without being over-disturbing, and even offered to get me a small chair to put my bag after I left it on the floor. The combination of superb ambience, good service, and a lovely brunch meant that even though prices are slightly steep, I will not hesitate to go back again. I want to try the pancakes and waffles the next time round. See you there!
