| - Last week was my vacation week and I had a whole list of restaurants I wanted to try. But to my disappointment, most of the fine establishments were closed. (What!? other people go on vacation too?!) Yes yes, I'm sure you can relate to how NOT understanding I was:P haha
To my delight though, Aunties and Uncles was still in full swing and my cousin and I made a day out of it with brunch starting here.
The first thing that I noticed was the line people waiting. I did take Vivek's advice and ate a little before but the wait wasn't absurdly long (15-20min?) We had about 3-4 groups in front of us.
Decor:
This place is definitely going for the old school retro style. Not CLEAN, retro like those 50's themed bars but more like a home in the 50s with random antique display items and tools. Definitely a very homey feel and I'm sure older folk appreciate the ambiance tool.
Like some restos, you need to strategize your clothing attire. This place will have you smelling like Aunties and Uncles all day. The kitchen is pretty much open concept. Luckily, I was seated on the second floor so my clothes didn't absorb too much of the fumes.
Food:
Everyone keeps on talking about the Breakfast Pocket so that was the obvious thing to order. Boy did it deliver with it's flavor but let me emphasize that it ain't no pocket. It's a sandwich because I don't recall the bread being like a pocket....or maybe the ingredients were so abundant that the pocket ripped into two (i'd believe it). So if it was a pocket that simply exploded to become a sandwich, I'll call it a Breakfast "Pockwich". So this Pockwich comes stuffed with scrambled eggs, peameal bacon, cheddar, and some other ingredients that slipped my mind with a side of hash browns, which I hoped were the crispy kind but just simply roasted stove-top potatoes kind of(boooooo too healthy!). Me, being greedy, ordered a side of bacon which received praise from the waitress:P. Bacon was crispy and decently thick. I even put a piece in my Pockwich to amplify the taste. I did force my cousin to eat one though because I'm not a bottomless pit.
Oh the ketchup is home made and has a bit of kick to it! definitely try it out!
Service:
Solid service. No complaints here.
Overall:
A solid brunch joint but perhaps the ventilation could be improved. Perhaps, the cutlery should not go along with the old school feel because it looked a bit dirty:P And oh yea, don't trick me with the has browns:P haha It'd also be nice for the resto to post their standard menu on their website so people know what's available. Then again, that's what yelp is for right?
