BNDRA:W, the baby of Francesca, is an all-day hangout that fits every mood and mealtime

At BNDRA:W, they offer breakfast all-day. And this is so welcome especially for late risers and persons who like to have their eggs and sausages any time of the day. Breads baked in-house every day, sauces, spreads and dressings are also made from scratch.

Hangover Sandwich |

Vincent Van Gogh |

The Smoked Turkey Camembert sandwich — tender smoked turkey, creamy Camembert and fresh greens make for a delicious combination, but the bread is what really sets it apart. Freshly baked in-house, it has a texture and flavour that makes the sandwich better. Pair it with the Earth Matcha, if you love your matcha. It’s not hot, nor is it too cold. Nice and cool and grassy. They use ceremonial matcha. Rafiq recommends taking the first sip before stirring it. That first sip is grassy and very ceremonial, with the natural flavour of matcha coming through clearly. Stirring it and taking another sip changes the drink completely, bringing out fuller flavours.

Turkish Eggs |

The English Breakfast is where the quality of the ingredients comes through. The sunny-side-up egg is beautifully made, with a well-cooked white and a perfectly runny yolk. The sausages are delectable. The bacon, however, could have been better, as it did not seem to have thawed properly and the texture and taste suffered as a result. Baked beans, thin toast slices, hash browns, sauteed mushrooms and cherry tomatoes sum up the scrumptious breakfast platter. An Americano to go with it and you are sorted for the day. Just delicious!

The place clearly demanded two visits. And I did that.
