Nom Nom .... Maple & Market

As stated on their facebook "Maple & Market is not a cafe. I suppose you could call it a cake shop or a bakery that has some seating available." After much anticipation, Sarah finally opened her shop which is not only a bakery but a space where the creative community gather to bake and craft. I liked her cakes previously in Public Garden and The Christmas Pop Up Store therefore I've decided to drop by on the opening. The tastefully furnished bakery maybe due to the selection of furniture and decor that are very Japanese inspired somehow reminded me of Vanilla Cafe in Bangkok.

I guess I've arrived late since most of the bakes are gone, the whole look of 1919, which is Gula Melaka cake with kaya cream cheese and almond brittle attracted me. There are only two communal tables and it may be full on weekend I guess. With the sharing of tables, I enjoyed hearing people chatting around me and I even make a new friend here chatting on food and travel. We both felt that the food and drinks here are affordable and very homely but the portions are too big for us. Personally I've tasted and liked their apple oolong tea which is from the premium tea boutique Tea Bone Zen Mind.  Hope to come back on a weekday where is not so crowded and more selections available. Do check on their facebook regularly if you'll like to learn some baking skills as they do conduct classes here as well.

I felt as though I've stepped into a laboratory but this is an ice cream shop that uses liquid nitrogen to flash freeze their ice cream in just 30 seconds. I choose chocolate which is the safest option of all. Smooth and creamy, simply yummylicious. Just steps away from Spoonful, you can find yourself some novelty find or if you need a more convenient location then visit their branch in Siam Paragon.

Nom Nom .... Maison Ikkoku

Headed down to a new coffee place, 3 in 1 place, but the boutique and bar to open at a later date. I tried and I heart the MI Musubi of Sushi-like Japanese short grain rice with SPAM luncheon meat and favourite is MI Pork Bun of stewed pork belly in steamed bun.

 

 

 

Liked the old furnitures hanged up on the ceilings and the old door recycle to be the table top. Really glad to find a nice coffee spot in this area :)

On a hot day, ice desserts is a must. Min Chong Hygienic Ice Cafe 民众冰室 around for almost 80 years. Decors and menu on the table never change since open in the 1920s.

Traditional teochew porridge with many choice of dishes.

Auntie saw me with the camera, gladly invited me into the kitchen to take photo of the sweet potato porridge.

My simple yet delicious lunch.

Mods Cafe opened for around 7 months, the main attraction is the Volkswagen camper van in the shop. I didn't try any of the food since the whole day have been eating and drinking. The boss wasn't very friendly and seems to be he is very grumpy.

 

These are my dream bicycles with the little baskets in front.

This is all I can managed to squeeze.

It was really good to see new and better places opening in this little town but somehow I feel that it is getting more commericalized. I do not like the crowd.
