A lazy Sunday brunch calls for that quintessential Eggs Benedict and a late morning Buck's Fizz. But if you want to reap its spiritual benefits, a visit to The White Rabbit will most certainly promise you salvation through gastronomy.
Situated in restored 1940s chapel, the restaurant on Harding Road offers a delectable array of reinvented classics and a visit to Lewis Caroll's storybook nostalgia where the white rabbit leads Alice to a veritable wonderland. Specialising in comfort foods and lethal cocktails, it also does adult portions of its children's meals to allow you to be a child all over again.
For those who have not left their Saturday night party where it belongs, a
Black Forest Mojito (SG$17) with white rum, berries and mint will hit that blank spot in the stomach with gusto.
Gin Fizz (SG$15), White Rabbit's other thirst-quencher, is a concoction of gin, lime cordial and elderflower syrup. The order of
Mac cheese (SG$28) with a confit of vegetables in a creamy cheese sauce was a real hit devoured alongside a
Warm Spinach Salad with poached egg (S$ 16) and a generous portion of
Steak Frites (SG$16) from the children's meal.
Specialising in brunches and dinners on the weekends, the restaurant also serves a la carte lunch, dinner and drinks until wee hours on weekdays.
Aromatic prawn bisque topped with coconut and laksa leaf souffle (SG$16) and
Escargot Ravioli served with breaded frog legs (SG$19) will build your appetite for an inventive twist to the pan-roasted US Choice tenderloin,
Tournedos Rossini (S$45).
A Roast Rack of Lamb with carrot puree and sautéed potatoes (SG$38) or an all-time favourite of
Oxtail Stew won't let you down either. Its
Mars Bar Soufflé with hazelnut crème anglaise and chocolate sorbet that takes a painstaking 30 minutes to prepare will reward your Sunday experience to the fullest; maybe even ready you for your Monday blues.
Unlike the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland who is anxious and always in a hurry, this is one place that acts as the antidote. Want to explore? Start by visiting its website on www.thewhiterabbit.com.sg or call 6473 9965 for reservations.
