Symmetry

Was initially planning to check out Artistry but their service was so bad... When we arrived at Artistry, there was a group of ppl waiting for seats so we asked the waitress approximately how long it will take before we get seats. She said around 20 mins and just to be clear, but we were totally fine with waiting. Then she told us that we could go queue at the line. Only problem is, there was no line. Everyone was standing everywhere and we had absolutely no idea where the queue was. And I'm pretty sure everyone else too cause they looked equally confused as we were. So I guess it was a memory game and costumers just remembered the ppl who were there earlier than them and who came after them.

After waiting for about 20mins, we got a table. Artistry is a self service cafe so you go to the counter to order your food and that was what Rifdi and my sister did. However, they told us that almost everything we wanted was sold out. How can eggs possibly get sold out at 2pm on a Sunday when their cafe is suppose to serve brunch all day? And I'm sure we all know that eggs are pretty much in most of the dishes so that means the menu just shrunk by half. Eggs is just an example btw and many other stuff were sold out too. I honestly think that the waitress/waiters there could have told us beforehand when we went to queue that half their menu was sold out/running out. And that's the story of how we ended up at Symmetry for brunch at around 3pm. (Starvinggggg)

Symmetry is just a few blocks down Artistry and it's pretty funny actually. When we went there, we realised that everyone in the 'queue' for Artistry ended up eating at Symmetry. I guess it's cause almost everything wasn't available so Symmetry seems like a much better choice! We didn't have to wait for long as well because the cafe wasn't really crowded at that time(:

 Crispy Baby Squid

I've nvr thought of ordering this dish but the waitress highly recommended it so we decided to get it to share. It was soooo good! I'm not a huge fan of squids but this is really one of the tastier ones that I've had. I'm not sure what sauce that is but it had hints of pepper in it. Makes it a lot yummier(: A good alternative to the typical truffle fries that you'd order during lunch/brunch to share with your friends.

Truffle Eggs Mushroom

As the name of this dish suggest, the eggs were cooked with truffle oil and it was oh so tasty! I'm a huge truffle lover so this definitely appealed to me(: Not to mention, the sauteed mushrooms were good as well!

Big Breakfast

And what would a good brunch be without ordering a classic big breakfast? I was really craving for big breakfast that day cause I haven't been to a cafe for a long time due to exams and I wanted a little bit of everything! The portion is huge so it's definitely advisable to share it with a friend unless you have a huge appetite. The pink circle thing (I can't think of another word hahaha) above the bread is jam actually. Quite interesting!

Waffles

And just cause my sister and I are such sweet tooths, we ordered waffles as well. Definitely the prettiest dish of the day but also the sweetest. You wouldn't want to eat this by yourself cause it's really, super sweet. Even though the 3 of us shared, we still couldn't finish it hahaha. I guess it looks better than it tasted.

Overall, a really pleasant experience at Symmetry! Definitely lifted our moods after the buzz kill at Artistry. The tables at Symmetry are quite near each other though so probably not somewhere you'd want to have a good talk with your friend. I could actually hear the whole conversation of a couple next to us (unintentionally, of course). They happen to be on their first date so they started exchanging information and stuff and let's just say I learnt a lot of weird stuff about them hahaha!
