Spice Table Adds Brunch This Weekend + the Menu

Ng stokes the fires for brunch

Bryant Ng's Spice Table might still have to move from its Little Tokyo locale sometime in the future, but that doesn't mean he has to stop cooking. This weekend the Food & Wine Best New Chef adds a new Saturday brunch menu, including dishes like beef rendang hash and eggs, biscuits with lamb bacon gravy, crab wonton noodle soup and scallop congee. There's even a donut version of Kaya toast made with a pandan glaze. We still lament the loss of the catfish banh mi, which had to go away when flooding damaged the baking equipment necessary for making the amazing bread Ng used, but we'll settle for that crazy-good Spice Table burger. There's a new beverage menu, too, including traditional milk tea and bottomless mimosas. Check out the menu below. Brunch is served Saturdays from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM.
