FORTY HANDS CAFE



this small cafe is a hidden gem in an up and coming street in Tiong Bahru. 

Forty Hands Cafe
Blk 78 Yong Siak Street
#01-12 Singapore
Tel: +65 6225 8545

the cafe is particularly crowded on weekends and it is almost necessary for you to make a reservation before heading down.

however, the food was nothing amazing. the eggs benedict was by far the worst eggs benedict i have ever tasted. The bread was all wrong and not of the right texture, the hollandaise sauce was too little and not flavorful. It was the very first time i did not finish up my eggs benedict. (On the other hand, Prive@Keppel Bay serves up the best eggs royale in Singapore)

Having said that, people don't go to Forty Hands for the food. It's mainly for the aromatic coffee. As i am not much of a coffee drinker (unlike the bf), the only thing i can comment about it is the wonderful coffee art. All else, you would probably make a better judge.



went to the cafe with the primary school bestie :)




Beat's breakfast, i cannot for the life of me remember what the dish was called though.

And then  we ventured to my fave place on Yong Siak Street....

BOOKSACTUALLY.

an indie book haven.

filled with all the pretty little things you do not need.






they had stacks and stacks of old household stuff from the past. Old envelopes, old porcelain plates/bowls, etc.




TCC FOR CHRISTMAS 2012

yes. this is how overdue i am.

hang out with the besties.

this was also the day when the bf first met my good mates.

:D

i'm glad they got along pretty well during the whole catching up session.

to be honest, i really was quite worried about how it'd turn out especially since dear isn't the most comfortable with unfamiliar social settings.
