Posted on May 24, 2012 by bookjunkie

I expected PS Cafe at Ash Park, to turn us away after the reviews I read online about how they turned away people wearing Birkin slippers. We decided to try our luck and were mentally prepared for rejection and disdain. … Continue reading →

I Won’t be Returning to Old Town White Coffee if I can Help It

Posted on May 10, 2012 by bookjunkie

My partner got the roof of his mouth burnt by the miniscule curry puffs and my tea tasted like it was made from those three in one sachets (Uggh – a big no no in my book). But if I … Continue reading →

Posted on March 5, 2012 by bookjunkie

Packet of Tea

Posted on September 23, 2011 by bookjunkie

I hardly buy drinks take-away as I can make them myself at home or I usually have the drink at the coffee-shop. Today I decided to, just for the photo. I said tea take-away, and the friendly lady corrected me … Continue reading →

Find Your Childhood at Children Little Museum (Part 4 of 5)

Posted on June 25, 2011 by bookjunkie

There were recreations of scenes, like the drink stall, the barber shop and mobile theatre. For me they didn’t look familiar but the drinks brought back memories, especially the magnolia milk in a bottle.  Made me long for a magnolia … Continue reading →

Trung Nguyen: Vietnamese Iced Coffee at Liang Court

Posted on February 21, 2011 by bookjunkie

Almost as good as the iced coffee I had in Ho Chi Minh City. The difference is quite subtle, but I thought that coffee in Vietnam was stronger somehow. But that was a different brand – Highlands Coffee. It’s good … Continue reading →

Posted on February 14, 2011 by bookjunkie

I am drawn to Liang Court because of the number of authentic Japanese outlets here. I was immediately captivated by the new Starhub Sumo ad plastered at the travelator. Just love places in Singapore that are empty and spacious.  And … Continue reading →

Chocolate Affogato: TCC at Central

Posted on September 16, 2010 by bookjunkie

The chocolate ice cream was too rich for me! I actually wanted a Cafe Viennese (espresso with fresh whipped cream instead) which I discovered was not on the menu after pouring through it. The white sofa chairs at this TCC … Continue reading →

Coffee Bean at Toa Payoh Hub

Posted on September 6, 2010 by bookjunkie

I am not much a fan of Coffee Bean, but since it was surprisingly not crowded we went in. I usually go for the Cafe Mocha which tastes more like half a chocolate drink than coffee.

Posted on September 3, 2010 by bookjunkie
