Served with roasted whole garlic, French beans, crisp beef bacon bits and rosemary jus, this jaw-dropping show-stealer came encased in layers of buttery, flaky puff pastry. Once the chef sliced up this classic speciality, the juicy pink roast beef at its core transported us to seventh heaven. Accompanied by sips of chilled champagne, all we managed to say was 'Oh La La!'
Serena Brasserie is famed its seafood on ice selection from day one and rightfully, this remains a perennial lure for the Sunday brunch buffet. However, do allow us to suggest you go salmon fishing instead.
No. 2 Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Mille Feuille with Scallops & Prawns
True to its Sunday Indulgence tag, this colourful and Instagrammable creation proffers an explosion of textures and flavours. Strewn with edible flowers, cherry tomato halves and fresh sprouts, the mille feuille layers of smoked salmon and cream cheese partnered with succulent seared scallops and springy prawns form a fab visual and palatable feast.
No. 3 Gratinated Oyster Rockefeller
These cheese-topped beauties should leave you happily shell-syiok. Smothered in the lightly scorched, melty cheese topping, nothing beats savouring the lil' mollusk's squirt of briny, flinty jus and tender succulent flesh. So good!
No. 4 Spiced Bagel with Truffled Egg Mayo (top)
Even the Earl of Sandwich would give his thumbs up to this
delicious permutation bearing his erstwhile name. Rest assured the rich,
creamy egg-mayo filling spiked with truffle oil amidst spice dusted mini bagel
is noteworthy enough to spare tummy space for.
No. 5 Poppyseed Buns with Beef Pepperoni
Remember the minor kerfuffle over getting high on poppyseeds? Now, these scrumptiously diminutive poppyseed flecked buns stacked with beef pepperoni, tomato and gherkin slices and fresh lettuce should boost your mood for food. Suffice to say it's impossible to stop at just one.
No. 6 Har Lok
Keep your eyes peeled for these irresistible prawn 'stars'. Savoury yet naturally sweet, the stir-fried crustaceans are worth the bother of getting hands-on, to enjoy the full extent of their finger-licking goodness.
No. 7 Mixed Fruit Pavlova
Packed with so much fresh fruit especially colourful berries, these tiny cloud-like treats are literally guilt-free for the sweet toothed. Relish them with a cup of coffee or tea for that picture-perfect conclusion to your Sunday Indulgence brunch affair.
We have merely scratched the surface of the entire line-up but the magnificent 7 choices should serve as an apt teaser on what to expect. Diners can expect a plethora of appetisers and salads, main courses prepared Western and Asian-style, pastries and dessert in addition to kid-friendly offerings: fish fingers, cookies, sandwiches and candies.
Clown entertainment and cupcake decoration will be among the activities available to keep little tykes occupied.
Since The Daily Grind's reputation is built on burgers, it's inconceivable something like Burger Me Breakfast (RM27) would appear in the brunch array. Burger fans can rejoice for this delectable dish comprises brioche bun bearing a juicy beef patty and crisp slices of beef bacon, livened up with tomato jam and hollandaise sauce. Satisfying fare to start lazy Sundays with.
