Lunch @ The Bravery Cafe (thebravery.com.sg/).
The true standout of the Cafe.
Begedil is Malay style spiced potato cakes. To take something so 'ordinary', so common and so local and fuse it with external elements, I thought this was an excellent amalgamation of east and west. I love poking apart the poached egg and watch the silky yolk pour down into every nooks and crevices of the potato hash.
All savoury goodness; all sumptuous satisfaction.
The only shame is that choice of corned beef, which my mate does not take for religious reason. While the cafe has a Malay chef and has no pork and lard on its menu, perhaps it may be wise to stay away from beef, considering the numbers of locals that do not consume beef.

EXOTIC EASTER FARE
Easter brunch at 1911 on 5th April 2015
Easter specials at La Baguette till 5th April 2015
Easter Sunday is upon us and it brings along a plethora of dining options in the city. 1911 at the classy Imperial is having an Easter Brunch this Sunday and going by the food I sampled there yesterday, is unmissable.
Other than the traditional Easter grub, Chef Vishal has laid out many Mediterranean dishes that liven up the menu. There is a pineapple Gazpacho is a refreshing departure from the tomato base and the smoked paprika gives it a spicy kick.
One of my favourite dishes will be the Prawn Escabeche. Again a departure from ceviche, this flavourful dish has a special blend of flavours in the marinade, giving it a deliciously sharp tang.
For the vegetarians, I will recommend the stuffed artichokes. These are high quality spanish artichoke hearts covered in a delicious spinach filling. Creamy and flavourful this will satiate most meat lovers too.
I loved the lamb chops on polenta. The braising (as opposed to just roasting) makes the lamb deliciously moist. I must write about the polenta as even on its own it was smashing. Tossed in just some parmesan and olive oil it highlighted Chef Vishal's philosophy of rustic, simply cooked but delicious dishes.
The other two standouts were the Confit of chicken and the Veg lasagne. The chicken was moist beyond belief and combine that with streaks of perfectly cooked bacon made the dish very special indeed.
Among the many desserts, the macaroons were truly special. I'd be hard pressed to find better macaroons in the city, an absolute treat. For chocolate lovers there is the chocolate verrine, basically a superb chocolate mousse with a dark chocolate syrup spooned on top. Sinful and indulgent, this kind of stuff is what Easter is made up of.
Executive Chef Vishal Atreya is planning to have a spread of nearly 70 delectable dishes so round up your family (or brunch crew) and head here to get your fix of eggs, chocolate, leg of lamb and bloody Marys.
XOXO

The Neo Noir Angel Heart ( 1987) is a standout film in British director Alan Parkers' filmography. It's a seedy, disturbing and provocative mystery starring Mickey Rourke in one of his best performances. Equally enjoyable are co-stars Robert De Niro, Charlotte Rampling and Lisa Boneti, fresh from The Cosby Show. Parker's script is based on the novel 'Falling Angel' by William Hjortsberg.
In Angel Heart (1987), Mickey Rourke plays Harry Angel, an unshaven, chain-smoking private detective in Brooklyn in 1955. Harry is hired by malevolent Mr. Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro) to locate a mysterious crooner named Johnny Favourite. The singer disappeared in the early 1940s and hasn't been seen since. The money is good and the job doesn't seem that risky, so Harry accepts. His search leads Harry from the streets of New York to jazz clubs in Harlem and, finally, to the sweltering swamps of Louisiana. He meets a variety of characters, all of whom have little to say about Favourite. The singer entered the war, was shot and had his face reconstructed. After leaving the hospital, he vanished from the face of the earth. Everybody finds a violent death after Harry talks to them. He is a lot more involved than he initially thought and his search moves inexorably towards a devastating conclusion. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) gave the original cut of Angel Heart an X rating, because of a sex scene involving Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet in which Rourke's buttocks are seen thrusting in a sexual motion. The film's distributor Tri-Star Pictures refused to release it with an X rating, and Parker then removed ten seconds from the scene and the film was granted an R rating
When released in 1987, Angel Heart received a mixed reaction from reviewers, who criticised Alan Parker's screenwriting but praised the production design, the score by Trevor Jones, and the cinematography by Michael Seresin, as well as the performances of Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet. Derek Armstrong at AllMovie: "At the brief height of his career, Rourke radiates the mounting hysteria of a man caught in purgatory, surrounded and eventually engulfed by sadistic evil. By the time he pieces together the mystery, the audience has walked in his shoes enough to absorb his emotional outpouring."Angel Heart underperformed at the North American box office, grossing $17.2 million during its theatrical run against a production budget of $18 million. In the following decades, the film got a strong cult following and is now regarded as influential and underappreciated. Angel Heart is slowly paced but laced with moments of action and violence that breathe life into it. The smoke-filled rooms, the clothes and the music bring the viewer back to 1955. Alan Parker (Midnight Express, Mississippi Burning) made a beautifully shot, and masterfully edited film. His attention to detail and the moody atmosphere make it a visual masterpiece. Critic Roger Ebert: "The movie's final revelations make a weird sense, once we figure them out. This is one of those movies where you leave the theatre and re-run the plot in your head, re-interpreting the early scenes in terms of the final shocking revelations. Angel Heart is a thriller and a horror movie, but most of all it's an exuberant exercise in style, in which Parker and his actors have fun taking it to the limit."
