Revolution Coffee

Revolution Coffee is hidden in the far flung jungle of Media Circle where Infinite Studios is, and is rather inaccessible if you do not drive. While there is a loop service 191 that ply between Buona Vista and the area, the frequency of the bus is rather erratic.

Perhaps it is this same elusiveness of the place that attracted a steady crowd to visit Revolution Coffee on a Sunday afternoon.



The eclectic, industrial chic design worked well for the place, and it was cosy and welcoming. The colourful chairs which were reminiscent of olden days brought a pop of colour to the place and I loved that the beer crates were recycled to become tables.



We had the Big Breakfast with scrambled eggs, beef sausage and mushrooms, along with french toasts with bacon strips. What took the cake (ha ha) was the pancakes with gula melaka - it was fluffy and the gula melaka butterscotch sauce was not overly sweet. For our drinks, we had the iced mocha, latte and hot cocoa which were all pretty decent.



It's a pretty bold move to say 'In Caffeine we Trust', and thankfully the standard of the coffee was decent.

There's no doubt that Revolution Coffee will become even more popular when the surrounding Mediapolis is up and ready. We saw another cafe Hoopla just next door, and will check it out the next time!

Coffee x Chinatown

I'm definitely not a morning person by nature, but I'm trying to be with a little help from my friend caffeine. Working in the Chinatown area means that I'm blessed with a diverse choice of coffee options - from old school coffee filtered with the sock to artisan coffee brews.

Here are three god-sent places which keep me pumped for the day ahead.

Coffee, teal or me?  The space was small and intimate, and serves as a take-away counter for your caffeine shots and pastries.

Pleasantly surprised when I saw a handwritten note on the top of the cup 'thank you! have a lovely day!'. Such a small gesture but really brightened up my day.

The Quincy Hotel

So impressed with The Quincy Hotel - we were pampered with Moet champagne, chocolates and bathrobes. The 32sqm room was way more spacious than any other boutique hotels I've been to, came with a nespresso machine, a rainshower and a separate bathtub!

What stole my heart was the all day light refreshments available at the lobby restaurant. Think pastries from Dean and DeLuca and Modesto's - rainbow cake, croissant and a wide selection of cheese and ham.

The infinity pool located on the 12th floor came with a lovely view of the city, offering a perspective of Orchard Road you've probably never seen before. Much thought has been put into ensuring that guests are well taken care of, and it's evident from the little things like providing three types of water - cold, warm and room temperature - at the pool area! The gym was also relatively big, placed alongside a sauna and steamroom.

While it looked like we were living it up during the girl's night out party, the reality was that we fell asleep watching Channel 8 dramas. Granny we are.
