Quattordici: Revolver

This one is a majorly popular cafe, it was crazy. Located at Annandale, which looks deceptively like a quiet neighborhood, there were quite a few cafes that we saw had queues stretching far and wide. It was a Sunday morning, so no surprise there, but despite ST being early and requesting a table for us, when we arrived, it was an additional half an hour's wait.

And we ordered take away coffee just so we can have something while waiting. And checking out some the hardworking blokes making coffee~

Tredici: Gnome Espresso and Winebar

ST, BW, I'm catching up to you! ST posted about this recently on her blog, link should be on my companion's list on the side. Being one of the cafe buddies, she got the job of grabbing a table for us at this busy little cafe because we were late and she was early. That was one crazy Saturday, I remember it to be so activity-packed, there was little room for mismanagement and timing. We ended up being late, and I have a feeling it was my fault (or was it traffic?) but I cannot remember.

By the time we got there, ST was already enjoying her iced tea with lemon sorbet, looking every bit the relaxed classy lady having tea on her own in a quaint cafe. It's hard to pull off a "I'm not a loner!" pose... I must say, I suck at it.

On a Rollll

This will be a random post though, so bear with me =) If I remember correctly, this was on my of my free Fridays, before I start working like all sad people who work on Fridays.

Dodici: The Art of Pie Eating

Here's how backdated my photos are... today is going to be about Harry's Cafe de Wheels. I don't even remember when we visited that place, but we're looking at 2 months back. I decided to include this as part of the cafe series because technically, that's what it is- a cafe.

This was post badminton, when ST, BW and I decided to have some well-earned pies and pea mash. This was their signature dish named after founder Harry ‘Tiger’ Edwards of chunky lean beef pie served with mushy peas, mash & gravy.

Undici: The Little Marionette

So I've got myself a cup of peppermint and camomile tea, just woke up from a 3 hour nap, and decided I either do some work, or blog. Lack of blog entries due to combination of work, sickness, and can't-be-bothered'ness. Not just blogging, I haven't exercised in two weeks either... laziness. I've had all the photos up and ready on picasa, some which I even uploaded on facebook, but blogging is a lot more time consuming, so... this is the next entry, the Little Marionette, cafe entry No. 11!

Upon entering this place, one would first notice how small the space is. The kitchen taking up half of the space, and tables on the other half, barely fitting 8 people, plus a queue of people waiting on takeaways and ordering. Further in, a roasting room where a red coffee bean roaster sits, raw beans in sacks on the floor.
