Wimbly Lu at Jalan Riang – Gem of a Cafe decorated for Halloween

Freshness Burger at The Central Mall
A nice place to relax when Starbucks is bursting at the seams. I actually prefer this place to Starbucks – it’s emptier and cosier. I hope they still remain in business though, as the one at Nex has closed, probably … Continue reading

40 Hands
Could almost sniff the enticing aroma of 40 Hands coffee on so many blog sites, and hope to try it one day when the tiny shop in Tiong Bahru is a little less crowded. Somehow I am not into take-away … Continue reading

Shots – a Cafe on Ann Siang Hill
I previously thought the barista at this place were a tad glum and snooty but this time there were new baristas and they were so nice. I really do appreciate humble, down to earth people – they don’t get enough … Continue reading

Papa Palheta
Be prepared that Papa Palheta is not really a cafe. You might feel a little out of place if you think that it is. It’s a totally different concept from what you would be used to. It’s pretty artsy and … Continue reading
