St Marc Cafe is Ruining My Resolve to Eat Healthy

The pretty name tempted me – Flowers of the Sea. Keep telling myself not to overindulge and then I do it again. French style thin crepes are so hard to resist. This came with chocolate ice cream and nutella. A … Continue reading

St Marc Cafe: Strawberry Milk Parfait
I see myself frequenting St Marc a lot. Well if it’s not too crowded. I love their parfaits. The Yuzu tea was way too sweet (it’s Yuzu jam with hot water added) but at least there is free chilled water … Continue reading

Costa Coffee at Vivo
Now that St Marc has opened I don’t think I’ll be returning to Costa (also new) unless St Marc is too packed. Prefer the offerings there. Although to be fair I had tea at Costa instead of trying the coffee. … Continue reading

The service at Paul (Ngee Ann City) has improved tremendously. There’s a lady there who reminds me of my secondary school English teacher. She is so polite and attentive and I think they should totally reward her for being such … Continue reading

Felt Out of Place at the Currently Coolest Coffee Joint – Chye Seng Huat Hardware
Even though I knew I would not fit in at that place (being the old fogie that I am), I still craved to see it for myself and try the coffee. Businesses in Singapore come and go so fast that … Continue reading

My Second Visit to Brunetti was Disappointing
Wish the quality of the food was as good as the decor here. The cannoli was soggy and the filling too sweet. The hot chocolate was too cloying as well, and I prefer my hot chocolate made with real semi … Continue reading
