CHEONG KELLY ♥
Good food and pretty clothes are my greatest weaknesses.

Drips Bakery Cafe
Sunday, February 23, 2014 @ 8:31 PM ✈
Drips Bakery Cafe
Address: 82 Tiong Poh Road, #01-05, Singapore 160082
Nearest MRT: Tiong Bahru/ Outram Park
Opening hours: 11am - 9.30pm (Sun- Thur), 11am - 11pm (Fri & Sat)
Upon reaching the cafe, I fell in love with how peaceful the place is. I can imagine myself sitting there all day long reading a book, or having a long catch-up session with my friends. It wasn't really crowded even though I was there on a Saturday afternoon. My boyfriend and I made an impromptu trip here so we didn't really stay for long.
The interior was really simple, but it feels really relaxing to be here. It's like so warm and comfortable.
Iced Chocolate ($6.00), Iced Mocha ($6.50), Chocolate de Tart and Macadamia Nut tart
"We specialize in Tarts" - this is what we saw before entering the cafe. The staff told me that the fruit tarts were the best here, but sadly it was already sold out before I came. She then nicely recommended us to other tarts after asking our preference, which was the Macadamia Nut ($8.00) tart for my nut-loving boyfriend and Chocolate de Tart ($6.80) for me. Other than tarts, Drips also offers desserts like cakes, tea cakes and cookies, and more tummy filling food like sandwiches, soups, salads, breads.
In the end, we ended up switching cause I loved the macadamia tart while he preferred the chocolate one. I like how the Chocolate tart isn't too sweet despite it being entirely chocolate mousse inside but I loved the macadamia tart. The macadamia nuts were crunchy and fragrant, and the caramel holding the nuts weren't too sweet as it kinda normalized the rather bland "cake" beneath. Drinks wise, I preferred the Iced chocolate but we ended up exchanging drinks as well cause Stefan regretted his decision to order coffee; he dislikes coffee. And till now I still don't understand why he ordered Iced mocha in the first place.

Chye Seng Huat Hardware
@ 5:58 PM ✈
Sorry for the almost 3 month long hiatus here! Haven't been using my laptop for a long time and now I have loads of drafts accumulated for all the cafes I've been to during this period! So here it goes!
Chye Seng Huat Hardware Coffee Bar
Address: 150 Tyrwhitt Road, Singapore 207563
Nearest MRT: Lavender
Tel: 6396 0609
Opening hours: 9am - 7pm (Tues-Fri), 9am - 10pm (Sat-Sun), Closed on Mondays
When I first heard its name, I didn't believe it was a cafe, until my sister showed me the Google search results. So from what I've googled, "Chye Seng Huat Hardware is the successive coffee bar form the guys behind Papa Palheta and Loysel's Toy"......and I'm sure many other food blogs have written up a long paragraph on their history so I shall just skip this. Although the cafe looks run down from the outside, but once entered, it's a whole new different look.
Moving on, I didn't manage to get photos of the interior as I visited on a Sunday afternoon sometime before Christmas, and it was really crowded. There were seats indoors and outdoors, and I felt it was rather unique there was a 360 degree view of the bar where we can watch the baristas at work.
Aside from the list on the menu, there was also a variety of baked goods at the bar counter. My girlfriends and I skipped the dessert and went for the proper food aka "tummy-fillers". Do note that their kitchen closes at 5pm daily!
2 espressos with milk and my peppermint cappuccino (Christmas special) which tasted like traditional chinese medicine (TCM). T.T
Although CSHH is famous for their coffee, to be honest I felt that it was rather normal (the espresso w milk) and I've definitely had better ones elsewhere.
French Toast with Butterscotch Sauce & Bananas ($11)
Blinis with Cream Cheese & Smoked Salmon ($12)
Scrambled Eggs with Bacon ($11)
No idea why do I always end up getting the worst food ): I didn't really enjoy my scrambled eggs and "TCM" coffee, though I had some great time pinching off my girlfriends' dishes :P The Blinis with Cream Cheese & Smoked Salmon was a rather decent and filling main dish, but since I'm not really a pancake fan I doubt I'll be able to finish it entirely myself without feeling sick. The french toast however, is one I'm sure I can polish off all by myself! ^^
Ending off with a pretty (edited from iphone) photo of my disappointing scrambled eggs and peppermint cappuccino. I wish it tasted as good as it looks ):

Young, Wild & Free
Cheong Kelly Singaporean, 9th August 1993.
A typical Leo, minus the confidence. I find it difficult to trust people. A foodie and a shopaholic. Not to mention, a very picky eater. Taking baby steps in realizing my dream to travel the world. Beware, I can be really crazy at times. You have been warned. (:

no cloud is so dark that the sun can't shine through." - Miranda Kerr
