Rise & Grind Coffee Co

Came to Rise & Grind Coffee Co for lunch with Ed on the second last day of their Grand Opening Special.

Their outside dinning area. We thought that door was the main entrance until we read the paper stuck on it that said use the main entrance.

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio ($12)- Bacon, mushroom, asparagus, 64-degree egg. Pasta was al dente but could use more seasoning. Mushroom, asparagus and bacon was flavorful. The addition of sakura shrimp was nice.

Ocean's Thirteen ($17)- Smoked Salmon, poached eggs, asparagus, brioche toast, beetroot yogurt, yuzu hollandaise sauce. With Scrambled Eggs (+$3). I love the presentation, really pretty. The brioche was soft but wished the outside had some crunch. It was a nice combination. Salty smoked salmon, runny eggs, creamy sauce and bits of fish roe that burst in your mouth. Scrambled eggs were well cooked.

Complimentary Dessert: Half of RGC Waffles- A choice of vanilla bean/ chocolate/ coconut ice cream with salted caramel sauce. This was the best part of my entire meal. Even though it took 10 mins, it was worth the wait. Warm, soft and flavourful waffle topped with rich coconut ice cream with salted caramel sauce and dust with powdered sugar. The coconut ice cream reminded me of Kueh Bangkit, those melt in your mouth cookies eaten during Chinese New Year. The Salted Caramel Sauce was rich, creamy and salty enough.
