Benson Road Deli (or BRD) is a few minutes' walk from my house. I like that BRD opens early - 7am everyday which is great for people who are on their way to work and on the weekends, it is the perfect place to go to for a coffee if you have been for a very early walk.
They not only serve delicious extra hot coffee (how I like it) but a range of savoury and sweet delights, freshly made juices, breakfast, lunch and dinner! I usually only order a hot drink when I visit BRD (hot chocolate or sweet vanilla chai with cinnamon), but one Sunday morning my friend insisted that I try their eggs benedict.
Now I am not really into the whole eating breakfast out/having brunch - I am more of a 'three meals a day' kind of person. Anyway, I reluctantly agreed and to be honest, it was totally worth it. I am a huge fan of eggs yet only make them at home. In addition, the eggs benedict came with delicious crispy bacon, which I rarely eat so it was a real treat!
In the end, I was glad that I had passed up the normal hot drink and went for something a little more adventurous.
However, if you are ever in the neighbourhood, I strongly recommend coming in for morning or afternoon tea and trying their chocolate caramel slice. Sitting down with a nice hot drink and devouring a slice of their chocolate caramel is just bliss. I even had it for breakfast one morning because I could not wait another minute! read more
