Posted on April 13, 2022 by bookjunkie

Haven’t been to Jewel in ages. When we are here, we keep returning to Fun Toast for the view. It’s also not too atas or expensive.

Posted on March 17, 2022 by bookjunkie

We didn’t plan to go here and it was quite a random find. Glad we checked it out. They serve good coffee here which surprised us as it’s rare as most places have coffee that’s acidic & sourish. Reminded us … Continue reading →

Posted on March 6, 2022 by bookjunkie

Every time I find a cafe I like it tends to close down. It’s mostly because I like places that are relatively empty, at least at off peak hours. The service at the Gastronomia Da Paolo VivoCity Branch is great. … Continue reading →

Artisan Boulangerie Co. (ABC) at Katong 112

Posted on March 9, 2015 by bookjunkie

Somehow prefer the branch at Vivocity, the pastries seemed fresher there and it was not as crowded. The coffee looks good but I find it a tad bitter.  They do baguette sandwiches best of all and you can’t go wrong … Continue reading →
