This café is right next to Good and Rich Cake Shop
and is quite the modern day all-in-one café – coffee joint, boutique and
watering hole. The makings of a good coffee joint is the crazy
fragrance that greets me when I enter. Maison Ikkoku’s
has a side bar of different equipment for coffee making and that
pleased the coffee drinker tons. One gets to pick the coffee beans and
method – liking the customization!
Recycling of wooden doors as table tops!
Well flipped menu.
Clean minimalistic decor.
Brewing of a good cuppa.
Eggs Benedict ($16.80)
Toasted English muffins, prosciutto di parma,poached eggs, home-made hollandaise sauce, sautéed asparagus
Eggs Florentine ($16.80)
Toasted English muffins, crispy smoked bacon, sautéed baby spinach, poached eggs, home-made hollandaise sauce, sautéed asparagus
Yellows and greens with a dash of orange paints a
beautiful breakfast picture. Loved the muffins albeit pint-sized – just
like Mcdonald’s with the right density, poached eggs were a tad
overcooked but still runny and lovely parma ham. I
thought the sautéed asparagus could have been done slightly better –
old at the edges but nonetheless delicious. The hollandaise was quite
inconsistent across both our dishes. Tasted somewhat watered down for
mine but abso spot on with the eggs Florentine.
Appears that the cook possibly underestimated the amount of sauce and
had to throw in another quart of water for both dishes.
Aeropressz ($5)
This unique brewing method performs
through totally immersing the coffee grounds and gently pressuring the
coffee beans in order to extract remarkable rich coffee flavor. It uses
the gentle air pressure brewing
system to make quality coffee with rich flavour and aroma. Due to the
shortness of the brewing process, the coffee has reduced acidity without
the bitter aftertaste.
True enough fragrant and not so acidic.
Brunch at Maison’s is delightful. Infact the décor
is quite a joy to observe – clever usage of unhinged doors as table tops
and quirky corners of showcases. Double love! One comfortable place for
good coffee and breakfast items…weekends
are major loves this way. Their cake menu tempts so much – Taro Cheese,
Pumpkin Cheese and Carrot cake are already hollering! Returns are
definitely on the cards.
