Hi All! Tiffany here! It's my first time blogging for that feeling and frankly, I'm feeling a little jittery cause it's been ages since the last time I blogged properly.
Here goes!
You might have noticed that quite a good number of boutique cafes and brunch places has been popping up all over the island in recent years. Admit it, we all have a knack at complain how boring Singapore is - how there's nowhere to go, how the cafes are not as nice as everywhere else in the world dadada things like that. Now, there's no excuse to grumble anymore, not when we're seeing the rise of independent stores and cafes! A cafe culture is brewing right underneath our noses and I love it!
Carpenter & Cook is a relatively new addition to the growing list of cafes here and it screams two things - England and Vintage. The sheer amount of effort put into the decoration creates a wonderful homely atmosphere perfect for tea for two, or a group. Elaborate tea china sets, old typewriters, home wares and rustic wooden cabinets, I'm tempted to say that this place is quintessentially old school LDN. I really do appreciate how the owners go round talking to their patrons about their experiences in England and what inspired them to open the cafe. Really nice.
Home made tarts! Do try the lemon tart when you're there! It's mmm-perfecto! I gobbled it up before I could take a picture.
If you're a a fellow Westie (high-five!), you would know the pains of finding somewhere decent to go apart from Holland Village here in ulu West. (Yes East-siders, don't laugh). Located at Lorong Kilat, it's relatively near to Bukit Batok and Bukit Timah. Hop on bus 74, or 174 and you're on your way!
