The Coffee Connoisseur @ Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore

I have always liked hanging out at nice and comfortable coffee places. Staying along Bencoleen Street during my short training stint, conveniently there was a TCC about 5 minutes away. I have had my share of Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Gloria Jeans back in KL. However, we do not have TCC in Malaysia.

I have been there twice during my weeklong stay. Once for breakfast and another time for supper. For breakfast, I had the American Breakfast Scrambled Eggs Set that includes a cup of coffee and orange juice. The tomatoes that came with the set was really delicious. It does not taste sour, in fact it tastes sweet! We were given a piece of toast, sausage, a small side salad lightly dressed, a piece of ham and scrambled eggs.

Orange Juice

Feeling a bit peckish at night, we decided to go for cake and coffee. Decided upon Mont Blanc. Sounds exotic eh? Well it's actually chestnut cake. There were chestnut pieces embedded in the cake and a whole chestnut in the inside center of the cake. Basically, it has a lot of chestnut cream as well and I find it on the overwhelming side. Too sweet for my tastebuds.

Mont Blanc

The coffee is a little bitter to my taste. Apparently, this is the case for coffees in Singapore (according to someone who has been staying there for years). The ambiance is excellent. It is not crowded and have interesting art pieces to gawk at. One section in fact, had bean bags strewn all over for you to get cosy with and wooden flooring.

For KLites who ever go over to Singapore, instead of going for the usual Starbucks, do give this a try!
