Welcoming spring’s culinary bloom, Seaspice reimagines brunch dishes and cocktails (some more outlandish, yet delicious, than others). Join us this week as they share a few of their brunch delights with you, our readers.
Not your grandmother’s waffles, Seaspice’s Power Waffles made with quinoa, flaxseed and oats, hazelnut, almond butter, acai yogurt and honey topped with fruits take healthy ingredients in a savory dish to a whole other level. The luxurious Backed Black Truffle Egg Tart with gruyere cheese, puff pastry, chervil, Serrano Benedict with crispy serrano ham, poached eggs, chive hollandaise, crispy potato, Caviar & Eggs Trifle with white sturgeon caviar, purple potatoes, soft scrambled eggs, smoked black cod and creme fraiche, and the house made Lemon Mousse with dried raspberries, black mission figs, and candied tuile all follow suit in upgrading the usual eggs and dessert.
Each dish seamlessly pairs well with refreshing spring-inspired cocktail such as the High Tea, which mixes Earlgrey and Cardamon Infused Bombay Gin with simple syrup and lemon juice, Persea Martini, which marries tequila, fresh avocado, pineapple juice, lemon juice and simple syrup, garnished with fresh black pepper, and the Coco Loco, a combination of Havana rum and Thai coconut open on the side.
Today’s choice is Serrano Benedict with crispy serrano ham, poached eggs, chive hollandaise and crispy potato. Easter Sunday Brunch never looked so good.
