Nom Nom .... Wheeler's Yard

Wheeler's Yard


I like Wheeler's Yard location tucked away in the Balestier area and with the cycle path nearby, is so convenient and made for cyclists. The fact that the cafe cum bicycle atelier workshop are all housed in a huge warehouse made it so right. Everything here is about bicycles and while admiring them, the vintage furniture all around are more to my interest.

Decent pie and coffee served, not much of a surprise. I am sure this would be a bicycle lover paradise and if you are not too much into the food or drink, this could be a good hangout place for you.

Do you still remember my earlier blog post about Not A Retail Shop // NĂ“NG ? Transitional___ by Shophouse & Co is a traveling creative platform that brings life to various spaces around the city and this time being part of the new initiative, online store Naiise set up its pop-up retail at 115A King George Avenue added more fun to the hardware stores in the Lavender area.

Besides able to browse through the assortment of lifestyle goods, there are also food tasting session by the various artisanal food makers such as the jam I have recently bought from GSH Conserves. There are also workshops conducted by Tyrwhitt General Company and pop-up coffee bar by Bettr Barista Coffee Academy .

I visited them on a weekday afternoon so that are not too much activities going on, however the weekend activities sounds too good to miss, still not too late to head down with one more weekend before they are close on 22nd June.

Nom Nom .... The Tastemaker Store

The Tastemaker store reminded me of Japan and yes I just came back from Tokyo last week. I have plan to go earlier but planning the trip really make me busy. This muji inspired cafe with the huge window frontage bring in much natural lighting. I love the Japanese-minimalist interior of white/brown, the candle holders on the tables and addition of hanging plants. As written on their facebook "Designed with a simple layout, we want to create a place where people can feel at home" . YESssss I do wish for a home like this !

I tried the recommended lemon curd with clotted cream on toast, the lightness of the bread was just right with the well balanced zing. Besides the food on the menu, we have packed home the homemade yam cake and glutinous rice. I did not expect the big chunks of yam pieces and generous portion of ingredients, it was simple fulfilling and contenting. As for my glutinous rice was spoilt after the long day but that's the reason to go back for more before the crowd starts.

Are you into cafe hopping recently ? YES, I AM !
I must admit there are really tooooo many of them recently. I can't help not to admire Jonathan @jonwithak  for able to visit so many of them in a short period of opening. Do try out his favourite all time spot "Brawn & Brains" for coffee, wraps and cakes. I have yet to visit but this tiny little cafe tucked at the old Singapore badminton hall is definitely on my list.
 
Check out his beautiful photos on instagram taken with only iPhone 5S. Who says iPhone can't take amazing photos :D

Colors Monday【MT Expo Singapore】

I know I took too long to post but better than none. The MT Expo held in July last year was the first time in Singapore and everything was about MT Tapes there. I went twice since it was so fun with workshops and hands on DIY with free usage of MT Tapes. A total of 5 Singapore limited edition tapes made debut at this rare event and of course they were off the shelves very soon. I am always happy to see new products from MT and love the Scandinavia series collaborated with Olle Eksell, Bengt & Lotta and Lisa Larson. How I wish there would be more collaboration!

Since many limited edition mt tapes that were not for sale and only available for exchange when you play with the gachapon coin machine so it was super addictive. Even though the event have ended here but there are always some MT event somewhere, so in case you are MT fans and planning for a holiday, do check out their website if there are any up coming event.
