Sigh, looking at my draft page, i have over 20 pending posts that i wanted to share with you guys but haven't gotten the time to do so! Sorry, peeps, i'll try to catch up on writing interesting update for you!! To begin with, i'll write about 2 cafes that i visited during Singapore trip!

1. Working Title, Arab Street

   Working Title is situated below a backpacker hotel called The Shophouse, along Arab Street which is behind Haji Lane. It should be easy to locate because the lane is so short! I can't help but being mesmerised by the indie and hipster interior of this cafe. Every table and chair came from different sources and design. It is so messy but oddly beautiful at the same time. Distracted by the array of desserts showcased at the bar counter, we quickly made our choice--Horlicks Tart and a cup of cappuccino for sharing.

Horlicks Tart--SGD 7

Cappuccino

   Horlicks is basically a popular local drink, malty and sweet. I find the flavor of Horlicks to be very prominent but delightful in this dessert. The pastry crust was soft and crumbly, works perfectly with the sweet and crunchy filling. On the other hand, coffee was a little bit disappointing because it lacked the espresso aroma and tasted rather bland to me.

   Anyway, Working Title did served its purpose as a resting stop for us before we journeyed to our next destination. I've also took some photos around the area, do enjoy!

Tryna be a fashionista. #epicphail

2. Chye Seng Huat Hardware Coffee (CSHH)

   On the next day, Mr. J dropped by and we visited CSHH for a cup of caffeine because internet has crowned it as one of the best cafe in Singapore. Woah, talking about CSHH, this is one headache for us to locate because it is situated in the old and tranquil neighbourhood, away from any main road or buildings. Thank God for some friendly locals who gave us the direction to it. You can assess to this cafe using cab or bus. For us, we used the MRT, and got down at Lavender station. After that, we gotta figure it ourselves how to reach CSHH.

How it looks on the outside

   Beside being tucked in a quiet neighbourhood, CSHH is housed in an ex-hardware shop, hence the name Chye Seng Huat Hardware. It's innovative recreation of a modern coffee shop, by conserving the 80's Southern Chinese architecture influence was interesting and highly applaud-able. Modern design with a twist is always my favourite. Anyways, we only ordered a cappuccino for sharing because we were stuffed with Singapore Laksa before that. I always believe that the best way to test the quality of a cafe is from a cup of cappuccino, the most basic drink, yet it speaks a thousand words.



   My research found out that CSHH shared the same coffee bean origins as Pulp by Papa Palheta in Bangsar. Therefore, it must be as good as the one we have in Malaysia. After tasting, i would say that CSHH's version is smoother, cleaner and more fruity comparing to the one in Malaysia. It was strong in acidity, but lacked of the earthy flavors i longed in a cuppa. I still keep my reservation to label this as the best coffee in Singapore.



   Coffee aside, i do appreciate CSHH's take on its design and setting. Something about this cafe that is so simple and ancient, intriguing customers to linger a little while more just to reminiscence and explore their childhood and memories once more. For that, CSHH had done a great job!

   That marks the end of my post this week. I hope you enjoyed it! I think some of you can tell that i wasn't impressed by the caffeine i have tried in Singapore. However, there is one that managed to leave some great impression with its delicious brunch, coffee and dessert. Which one am i talking about? Stay tuned for my next update! Till then, xoxo.
