📍South Side Keppel

Visiting South Side Keppel was a delightful experience for a brunch lover like me. The rosti, with its perfectly crisp exterior, paired beautifully with the creamy onsen egg that added a silky texture balancing the crunch. What stood out most was their shakshuka—a comforting blend of roasted eggplant and crumbly feta cheese that gave the traditional dish a lovely twist. The roasted eggplant added a subtle smokiness and sweetness, elevating the usual tomato base and making each bite more complex and satisfying. I also appreciated the generous portion sizes, which made the meal both filling and good value for money. Even though South Side Keppel is a bit tucked away, the peaceful ambiance made it worth the trip. It felt like a hidden gem, away from busier spots but just as rewarding. The combination of cozy setting and well-executed dishes makes it perfect for a relaxing weekend brunch or a casual meet-up with friends. For those who enjoy dishes like smashed avocado or variations of rosti, this place offers something unique with its creativity and attention to detail. I recommend trying their onsen egg rosti alongside the shakshuka to get the full flavor experience. It’s a great example of how simple ingredients can come together to create a memorable meal. I’m definitely planning to return to explore more from their menu and enjoy the warm, welcoming vibes again.
