SAY HELLO TO THE NEW BRUNCH MENU AT JIKONI

Jikoni, Blandford Street, is now open earlier on weekends, from 10 am (serving brunch until 3pm), (and available for quick coffee pitstops and quicker bites too, like the Coconut, Turmeric & Buckwheat Granola with yoghurt and poached figs, sourdough toast with home made jam or a Goan sausage roll with pineapple chutney).

To the main menu… you can still order favourites like the Curry Leaf Creamed Corn on Cornbread, with a Burford fried egg and jalapeño relish, the Sharpham Park Buckwheat Dosa with Pumpkin and Coconut Thoran and the iconic prawn toast scotch egg.

But there are new favourites too, including a protein packed Chicken Larb Brioche Bun or House Cured Lemongrass & Tamari Chalkstream Trout, with English muffins, topped with a poached egg and a silky/ punchy Tom Yum hollandaise that may just change your life.

Other favourites: Braised Borlotti Bean Ful Medames with the obligatory brunchy egg, and a tomato, parsley and roasted cumin salsa, and a restorative Ginger Pig Chicken & Turmeric Bone Broth Congee with jasmine rice, grilled chicken skewers and Nahm Jim Jaew.

There are lunch plates on offer too, including dayboat grilled fish with oregano dressing and chips, as well as a load of sweet treats including Saffron pancakes with pistachio ice cream and the OG Banana Cake with Miso Butterscotch, Ovaltine Kulfi and peanut brittle.
