Weekend Brunch at Habibi-san: the Full Brunch Menu, Read Line by Line

We serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 2.30pm at 29 Hamilton Road in Jalan Besar. Until this week, this blog could not tell you what that brunch actually was, and in two places it guessed wrong. This post fixes that from the only source that counts: the brunch menu itself, read line by line.

Where this menu comes from, and how old it is

The brunch card is not on our website. Our menu page carries the dinner food menu, the cocktail list and the wine list, and nothing for the weekend daytime service. The brunch menu, and a separate brunch drinks card, sit on our own Chope listing, the same page that takes the bookings. Both files were uploaded on 26 March 2026. We read them on 23 October 2026.

That date matters. A seven-month-old menu file is probably still right, but kitchens change dishes faster than anyone updates a booking page. Treat every dish and price below as what the card says, not as a promise about this Saturday, and if one dish is the reason you are booking, ask when you book.

A correction while we are here. Our brunch guide and our ranked brunch list used to describe our brunch as “not an eggs-and-sourdough brunch” and as small plates for the middle of the table. The card says otherwise. Eggs and sourdough run all through it, and most of it is plated mains, one per person. Both posts have been corrected.

The mains, line by line

Mezze Platter, $25. Four dips (hummus, babaganoush, matbucha and labneh) with sourdough. This is the one dish on the card built for the middle of the table. At dinner the same four dips are ordered one at a time, with pita ordered by the piece; at brunch they arrive together, with sourdough. The brunch card lists the dips by name only, so it does not say whether they carry their dinner toppings, the ikura on the hummus or the kinnogomadare on the babaganoush. We are not going to claim they do.

Habibi Thick Hotcake, $15. Burnt honey, miso ash butter, chantilly cream. The sweet one, and the cheapest main on the card.

Savoury Thick Hotcake, $17. Yuzu hollandaise and spicy chicken harissa sausage. The same hotcake taken the other way, with a Japanese citrus in the sauce and a North African chilli paste in the sausage. We have explained harissa separately.

Breakfast Beast, $34. Eggs of your choice, spicy chicken harissa sausage, bacon chop, Japanese curry creamed spinach, sourdough and sidewinder chips. This is the full breakfast plate, and apart from the steak it is the most expensive thing on the card.

Habibi Fried Chicken, $25. Two pieces, with rosemary honey, herbed lime mayonnaise and pickled carrots. The card offers a swap to smoked honey. This is a fried chicken dish and nothing to do with the charcoal chicken on the dinner menu, so do not book brunch expecting that one.

Smoked Pepper Shakshouka, $24. Smoked pepper and tomato sauce, sous vide eggs, yoghurt and sourdough. It is the most Middle Eastern main on the card, and the card spells it “shakshouka”.

Steak & Eggs, $45. A 180g grilled Angus Pure ribeye with scrambled eggs and green harissa. It is worth knowing this is not the dinner steak. The dinner menu’s ribeye is a 300g MB4+ with a truffle ponzu jus; the brunch card names a different beef, at 180g.

Wood Smoked King Salmon Salad, $22. Faroe Islands king salmon, shaved fennel, dill, haricot vert, barley, chickpeas and an orange wafu vinaigrette. The dinner menu has a close cousin, but it names Norwegian salmon, fries its chickpeas and has no barley.

Add-ups and sides

The right-hand column of the card is where you build a plate up, or build one from scratch:

Habibi’s Brussel Sprouts, $15 (the menu’s spelling, with one L)
Grilled Bacon Chop, $12
Sidewinder Chips, $10
Spicy Chicken Harissa Sausage, $7
Japanese Curried Creamed Spinach, $6
Scrambled Eggs, $6
2 Eggs (fried or sous vide), $4
Side Salad, $3
Sourdough, $2

The sprouts are the only dinner dish to appear on the brunch card by name. The brunch card gives no description for them, so we cannot tell you from the card whether they are plated exactly as at night (that version is written up here). If they are the reason you are coming, ask.

Sweet endings: the dinner desserts, word for word

The three desserts are the dinner three, and their descriptions on the brunch card match the dinner menu word for word.

Muhallebi, $13: vanilla and yoghurt milk pudding, morello cherries in kirsch, Yamasa soy caramel, brown butter digestive biscuit. The kirsch makes it an alcoholic dessert.
Chocolate Kataifi Tart, $16: Valrhona Caraïbe dark 66% nama, dulce de leche, kataifi, sea salt.
Matcha-Misu, $16: Sakari matcha sake, 100% arabica coffee, hazelnut feuilletine.

The brunch drinks card

The brunch drinks are on their own card, and they are not the dinner cocktail list.

House creations, none of which lists a spirit: Citrus Noir, $9 (espresso, blood orange, soda); Bananarama, $9 (banana, caramel, milk, espresso, hot or cold); Noisette & Crème, $9 (yoghurt, milk, roasted hazelnut); Yellow Mellow, $8 (lemon, honey, ginger, hot or cold); and Peach Please, $8 (black tea, soda, homemade peach compote).

Spritz pitchers, $55 each, which the card describes as made for sharing: Piña & Coco Tropical (a brunch piña colada, with rum), R&B Exotic (rambutan and bubbles, with gin), Yuzu Blossom Floral (yuzu and cherry blossom, with gin), and Spiked Peach, Please Familiar (peach tea made boozy, with gin). The card does not give a pitcher’s volume.

Beer: Suntory The Premium Malt’s, 380ml, $11, and The Premium Malt’s Black, 380ml, $10.

Coffee and tea: double espresso $3; Americano, flat white, cappuccino and café latte $5 each; iced Americano and iced latte $6; a seasonal selection of teas, $5. Soft drinks run from $4 (Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite) to $8 for a litre of San Pellegrino or Acqua Panna.

The brunch card does not say whether the dinner cocktails or the wine list are available at brunch. If you want a glass of something from the wine list, ask rather than assume.

What a brunch for two costs

Unlike our dinner menu, which prints no prices at all (we have written about that separately), the brunch card prices everything, and its footer reads: “Prices subjected to 10% service charge. No G.S.T. Woohoo!” So the number to work with is the menu total times 1.1.

For example, two people sharing the Mezze Platter ($25), then a Breakfast Beast ($34) and a shakshouka ($24), with two flat whites ($10), comes to $93 on the menu and $102.30 with service. Add a spritz pitcher and it is $148, or $162.80. Those are the card’s March 2026 prices; check them on the day.

Booking, and what to tell us

Brunch books through the same Chope link as dinner. When we checked on 22 October 2026 it was offering Saturday tables from 11am in fifteen-minute steps, so there is no need to ring.

We are not halal. The brunch card has a bacon chop on it (on its own and inside the Breakfast Beast), the pitchers carry rum and gin, and the muhallebi carries kirsch. The card also asks you to tell us about any dietary restrictions or allergies, and it means it: the card does not mark dishes as vegetarian or allergen-free, so say what you need when you book or when you sit down.

Where this fits

If you are still choosing where to brunch, our guide to brunch in Singapore sorts the city by neighbourhood and occasion, the ranked list covers six cafes we would send friends to, and the Sunday brunch guide is for the slower, later end of the weekend. If you want a brunch that is Japanese all the way through, our Japanese brunch guide compares three restaurants that serve one. We do not run a free-flow package, so our bottomless brunch post is about the hotels; the nearest thing we have is a $55 pitcher. For the dinner menu, the ordering logic is in what to order at a Japanese–Middle Eastern table, and the room is in the gallery.

If this is the weekend you want, book a table.
