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.

Nom Nom .... Truffs

A foodie friend once told me Truffs is cold even though if is hot outside in the afternoon, I asked was it that the air-conditioned made her feel cold or was it due to the fact that she was the only customer in the cafe? I agree with her that I felt cool down quite soon upon entering Truffs on a warm afternoon and yes, I was the only dine-in customer after the lunch hour period. I was happy to have the whole place to myself while watching the staffs getting busy and office crowds in and out having take-aways.

I do not have the chance to indulge in their chocolate cakes as strongly recommended by the staffs but I tasted the 55% équateur dark chocolate and 70% Honduras Dark Chocolate handmade truffles and preferred the latter which was simply well balanced with the intense bittersweet taste. There are choices from chocolate truffles, signature chocolate cake or chocolate tart to choose from. Truffs is one good place in town to get away from the crowds with a cup of hot chocolate.

PS: Check it out the furniture and art pieces that are from The Workshop Gallery.

Nom Nom .... Tuckshop Cafe

Last November together with Juwind, Janet and Grace we explored Tuckshop cafe hidden on the 7th floor of an industrial precinct along Paya Lebar Road. It wasn't too difficult for us and we totally enjoyed ourselves in the indie location (means not so crowded during off peak hours) and were tucking into fish & chips (that's was strongly recommended by many), spaghetti and desserts.

Besides food, Tuckshop a cafe-cum-furniture store also sells furniture from their boutique furniture arm, Emilyhills furniture Studio in the mezzanine floor. If you are looking for big group gatherings, this is a good location with the long communal table.

[ Thailand ] Nom Nom .... Too Fast To Sleep

I had a hard time finding Too Fast To Sleep, basically the taxi driver had never heard of this place and was questioning me why I had to go this empty area in midnight. I've kept asking myself am I right to insist on going but was in luck to catch a glimpse of the bright lit building next to a temple when my taxi driver was grumbling on the road.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serving simple food menu and a wide range of drinks this is the right place for student seeking for a comfortable studying place. I was shocked to see full house on a Wednesday morning 1.30am. My sight must be failing me, this place is practically all filled with students except my companion and me. There are people sitting from the cafe, to the timber step flooring and to the al fresco on the level one of the building. All I want to say they are really a "hardworking" bunch at this time lol.

Spare some time Too Fast To Sleep in the midnight if you are a late owl like me and enjoy the huge space and beautiful interior decor in the 24/7 cafe.
