Nestled
within
the
cosy
Old
Hen
Kitchen
was
Poonsti,
our
brunch
choice
for
the
weekend.
Heard
lots
of
good
things
about
their
rosti,
so
this
was
what
we
zeroed
in
on
when
we
made
our
orders.
I
went
with
the
Sour
Cream
&
Chives
Rosti
($12)
so
I
could
taste
the
OG
rosti
quality.
Boy,
was
this
good.
Decently
thick
with
crisp
edges,
the
potato
shreds
were
seasoned
well
and
still
with
a
firm
bite
-
none
of
that
mushy
business.
I
almost
wolfed
everything
down
before
I
realised
there
was
still
the
sour
cream.
Spreading
a
dollop
atop
the
rosti,
the
tangy
creaminess
lent
a
fresh
taste
to
the
potatoes
and
the
enjoyment
factor
went
up
even
more.
This
quickly
became
my
favourite
rosti
in
Singapore,
no
kidding.
My
partner,
on
the
other
hand,
tried
the
Bacon
&
Egg
Rosti
($18).
This
time
round,
the
rosti
came
slathered
with
Tomato
Jam,
almost
like
a
sweetened
bolognaise
sauce,
which
threw
her
off
a
little.
While
I
didn't
mind
it,
she
quickly
asked
to
switch
with
my
leftover
plain
rosti
so
I
guess
it's
not
to
everyone's
tastes.
The
house-cured
bacon
though,
was
delicious.
Two
whole
slabs
of
thick,
crisp,
sweet-savoury
bacon.
I
don't
know
what
they
glazed
them
with
but
I
wish
I
could
have
more.
Overall,
their
rostis
deserve
all
the
hype
and
more,
though
do
try
their
plain
ones
first!
Can
be
a
little
pricey
but
I
think
it's
worth
a
visit
or
two.
