Dong Po Colonial Cafe at Kandahar Street

That cafe at Kandahar Street, the one we went the other day is a quaint vintage cafe called Dong Po Colonial Cafe. This isn’t yet another hip new cafe joining the throngs we have mushrooming every other day. This cafe serves up some traditional pastries from the 50’s and 60’s in Singapore to go along with their coffee. The boss of Dong Po Colonial Cafe is Kelvin Soh. How he started the cafe was featured in some Channel 8 show sometime back.…

Cafe Review: L'etoile Cafe

One Saturday, I decided to be adventurous and scout out a cafe that’s a little less known. L’etoile Cafe is a quiet little cafe tucked away along Owen Road (nearest MRT is Farrer Park). You really wouldn’t expect to find a cafe in these areas but here it is. L’etoile Cafe is a very quaint and homely cafe. It has 2 floors. First floor as seen below. And second floor is a more cozy area with random sized chairs and…

Cafe Review: Hoshino Coffee

It’s called The French Ladle – according to the owners, they wanted their setup to be a homely place with great food at great prices and portions. Hence,…

Brunch at Wild Honey

I must be one of the few people left in Singapore who hasn’t tried one of those all-day breakfast dining places. I kept having this misconception that all I can order is a plateful or eggs done in method A or B or C or, you get the drift. I kept thinking it’s all about EGGS, and some bacon maybe and some toast maybe. But everybody STILL kept going on and on about how awesome it is, how it is…

Cafe Review: Oriole Cafe and Bar @ Pan Pacific Suites Somerset

Oriole Cafe & Bar is quite a surprise. It looks and operates like a bar. It has live bands on weekends but yet when you read online reviews of what people say about them, you will hear them raving all about the Fish & Chips – how it’s one of the best in Singapore, and their coffee – ieatishootipost actually says they are possibly serving one of the best coffee in Singapore. I also read about how their Beef Cheek…

Cafe Review: Tea Treats at Covelli Italian Bistro (Orchard Central)

It was a leisurely Saturday afternoon, after MadAboutJu.com finished our photoshoot, I headed over to Orchard Central to have tea with a couple of bloggers at this posh looking Italian Bistro at Orchard Central. Carrie was there already by the time I arrived. We shared lovely tea with kickass names like Grandma Tea and Sunset.. I liked my Ginseng Honey Green Tea! The high tea set that I enjoyed on comes with 4 cakes and pastries, together with a pot…
