I ordered the americano to drink alongside brunch. I like pairing coffee with a meal, so choosing an americano felt natural that day. Having coffee right after brunch made it feel like I was enjoying a full meal and café time all at once.

The Angil Breakfast and its avocado tomato sandwich

The Angil Breakfast with small soup, which I ordered as my main, came out on one plate with several components, which was fun to look at too. The sandwich with avocado and tomato especially caught my eye. When ordering brunch, I tend to prefer a combo of bread and vegetables, and with avocado and tomato added, it was a relatively refreshing dish to eat.

The sandwich had the fillings sandwiched between the bread, making it easy to eat bite by bite, and the soft texture of the avocado went well with the fresh taste of the tomato. I thought it was a menu that suits wanting a brunch that's light but still filling, rather than a heavy meal.

The small soup that came with it was also good to pair with the sandwich. Having a warm soup alongside, rather than a meal made only of bread, felt more filling. Eating the sandwich and pairing it with soup along the way kept the meal from feeling monotonous.
