Sunday Brunch @ Brewerkz

Brewerkz (American)
#01-05, Riverside Point

I had my fortnightly Sunday brunch yesterday at this place..I shouldn't have expected very much from an american brunch. Despite my earlier reservation, I was asked to wait for my table when I arrived. Bad bad service. Then the people behind me managed to get seats before us. Well done! So I wasnt very pleased to start with. 5min later, they came over to ask if it is ok for us to dine at the bar table. That means those super tall table with chairs. Thank god! I didnt wear my sundress nor my short skirt. Climbing and sitting would really pose a huge problem. I was alittle annoyed cos despite making us wait, your restaurant is unable to provide me with a proper table for ladies? Kaoz!

I was real disappointed with the place. It was very dark and very crowded. I feel cramped. (I am someone who need space so I feel that a restaurant should make people comfortable enough with space between tables.) Definitely not a place I would want to start my sunday. This place is only good for watching sports accompanied by jugs of beers. Somehow the place is full house most of the customers are expats and families. Occasionally, you see this mega huge family of Indians consist of about at least 20people?

So the service is not good. The lighting is bad. there is no ambience to speak of. So left with the food. Look very appetizing in the picture there huh? But it really sucks! So bad that of the 3 pancakes I had on my plate, i dont even manage to finish one. Yes! That bad! The portion is huge I must say. Real deal for money. Well! What can you expect from american food. I feel cheated though. For 2 people, we spent about 40bucks and I feel it is really a waste of money cos I was disatisfied leaving the place and swearing never to patronize there again.


Apple coffee cake
The waitress came and told us it was some banana cake. Then we told her we didnt order banana cake. What a bad service! She can't even remember the name of the cake right. Well! It taste like eating rubber apple pie. The smell of cinnamon is so overbearing. I couldn't swallow much. The more apt description would be more like a dry flaky sponge than a cake


Pancakes
They served the pancake without any maple syrup. Can u guys imagine?! I am already stuffing from all the dry apple coffee cake and now another flour dough without any liquid to smoothen the process of my swallowing them. Jeez! Disgusted! Yes! By now I am really fuming mad.


Cackleberries
This was more decent. The only thing is the potato seemed super out of place. & it taste super sweet.

Verdict? Avoid the place at all cost if you want to enjoy a good meal. However, if u intend to watch sports together with a gang of friends over beer and huge portion of food for real bargain, then this may be the place for u. I definitely dont like the entire experience. There is nothing good to speak for. The only thing, it reminds me of my time in Amsterdam when I visited the Heninken experience. I was even more offended when an ang moh tried to be funny by pointing at my leftover of pancakes and said "that looks good. I am definitely coming back for pancakes." HELLO?!! Are you mocking at me or are you just pure ediot? Obviously, it tastes so horrible that I am not even touching it much. I am sure it is good. BAH!
