Brew, I'm so in love with Brewtown Newtown

Firstly, I'm sorry for the title but it was a pun just waiting to happen and I decided to seize the opportunity. My strange obsession with tea puns aside, I'm honestly so in love with this new little discovery. I kind of feel like Brewtown Newtown to me is like what a new boyfriend is like to other (less... hmm, lets go with "eclectic") 19 year old girl - why? Because if you've been even just an earshot away from me over the last two weeks then you've probably been victim to my non-stop gushing about this place. 

Brewtown is currently, one of the Top 10 eateries according to Urbanspoon and I can see why. For one, your ordinary cafe would definitely not serve every table and every customer with a glass of sparkling water by default but Brewtown does. That is of course, only after you've been taken to your table following a 40 minute wait, but you can't really blame them for the wait because it is worth it.

Secondly, I've always had this ridiculous theory that only the best cafes provides palm sugar as their sugar of choice because man.. they're amazing and once you've poured them into your cuppa, you will never EVER want to use brown, raw or white sugar ever again.

If you know me (even only a little bit), you'd know that I'd never have brunch without a cup of tea so of course I ordered a pot of Earl Grey Tea. While the Earl Grey looseleaf used by Brewtown is no match for Harney and Sons, the tea cups made up for it and you all know how much I love my tea knick-knacks.

Now, to the thing that actually matters most and the culprit of my incessant salivation... the food.

We ordered the spanish sausage (above), the salmon (right) and the corned beef (bottom). I rarely go to cafes where every single dish hits it out of the ballpark but, continuing with the metaphor, Brewtown did not only hit it out of the field, it hit it out of the goddamn city with every single dish. All a winner, all amazing.

The Salmon was divine. It was moist and flavoursome but not to the point that it was over seasoned. The creamy egg oozed as soon as you poked your knife through it and the quinoa was cooked to absolute perfection. 

The Spanish sausage was definitely the pisssaz of the menu. It was flavoursome, had a kick to it but when combined with the half-boiled egg, it was still appropriate for breakfast and wasn't too heavy. Definitely for the adventurous breakfast-goer and not for those who wants something less "hello" to start out their day.

My personal favourite thought was the Corned Beef. Seasoned to absolute perfection, it was just the right balance of savoury, creamy and cheesy when combined with the peas, half-poached eggs and polenta cubes. Could really be a heart attack special but I'd happily take the #yolo route on this matter.

But honestly, the star of the morning was definitely the cronuts - fusion between donut and croissant. If you've never heard of them? Welcome to the New York experimental food scene. Invented in New York by Dominique Ansel Bakery, the Cronut is a gift from the desert gods cause goddamn...

Brewtown's Cronut is absolute perfection, just like everything else on its menu. The glazed cronut is sweet but not sickening and has the crunch of a croissant and the doughy taste of a donut. Just divine!

Would I come back to Brewtown? Heck yes... I've already made plans with my friends and they can't get out of it #soznotsoz. They'll thank me later.

All my love,
