Grateful for Relaxing Moments: Flat Whites & Lattes at Cosy Cafes

Posted on April 25, 2022 by bookjunkie

It’s when I feel the most relaxed outside. I like going back to the same places. Cafe Aux Bacchanale and Da Paolo Gastronomia. Familiar friendly faces, good quality and comfy chairs. I do have social anxiety as I imagine many … Continue reading →

Posted on January 19, 2014 by bookjunkie

Iced Latte at Tiong Bahru Bakery (Raffles City)

Posted on September 9, 2013 by bookjunkie

Tiong Bahru Bakery used to be very exclusive when it first popped up at a remote corner in the old Singapore estate, Tiong Bahru. A real French Cafe, finally. But now that it has a second branch I’m glad it’s … Continue reading →

Posted on March 5, 2013 by bookjunkie

I’m always happy to find a new coffee place as an alternative to the chain ones like Starbucks, which I now realize make really weak coffee. Nice quiet seating area too and I guess quiet as most people haven’t discovered … Continue reading →

Arguing About Which Coffee Joint makes the Best Latte

Posted on January 10, 2013 by bookjunkie

B was insisting that Jewel makes the best coffee but I was saying that I preferred what I had at Forty Hands. But I had the iced latte at the latter, so it wasn’t a totally fair comparison. We returned … Continue reading →

The Plain at 50 Craig Road

Posted on June 16, 2012 by bookjunkie

I wanted to like The Plain so much but I guess it was just way too crowded when I checked it out. The boy who lead us in was very sweet. Very warm and welcoming service indeed – the best … Continue reading →

Oriole with My Cousin

Posted on June 8, 2012 by bookjunkie

Had a lovely time at Oriole, which is just outside Somerset 313, although I’m afraid the air-conditioning was a bit too cold for my cousin. I on the other hand am a walking furnace so it was just nice for … Continue reading →

Open Door Policy at 19 Yong Siak Street

Posted on June 1, 2012 by bookjunkie

When I first heard the name Open Door Policy my first thought was – it was too hot for Al Fresco. But no, it was refreshingly cool when we entered the restaurant and no doors left open, thank goodness. There … Continue reading →

We were originally thinking Wimbly Lu, at Jalan Riang, but it was closed so we headed to another place we like – The Coffee Daily at 75 Brighton Crescent. The folk running this place seem like really nice and unassuming … Continue reading →

Java Detour (The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands)

Posted on July 21, 2011 by bookjunkie

This is our second visit to Java Detour, because once again the Coffee Bean Bistro by the fountain was super crowded. And this is a nice place to chat, away from the maddening crowd that just lingers mostly around that … Continue reading →

Better than Starbucks: Tully’s at Pekin Street

Posted on June 10, 2010 by bookjunkie

If you like the Iced Latte at Starbucks you may like Tully’s version. It’s my favourite ice latte at the moment because I find it somehow smoother, and not too bitter. I am so glad there’s a Quiznos in Singapore … Continue reading →
