City Square Mall: Toast Box

The little stools are not the most comfortable, but it’ll do when you’re craving for kopi or tea and want to have it in air-conditioned comfort. B always orders teh si kosong, but with my sweet tooth I prefer the … Continue reading

Shots – a Cafe on Ann Siang Hill

I previously thought the barista at this place were a tad glum and snooty but this time there were new baristas and they were so nice.  I really do appreciate humble, down to earth people – they don’t get enough … Continue reading
