Brunch at Grub

A cuppa cappuccino. They sell liberty coffee here! I liked my cuppa with half a packet of sugar :)

My happy friends with their food. My food came last, again :(

Featuring my adorable $3 S4 cover from Cineleisure! But uh, this mood-lifter will erase any kind of professional image I try to create for myself.

This breakfast set was $15 with an ordinary coffee or tea. Top up $2.50 for liberty coffee. Their scrambled eggs don't look appetising aye, and it really was too dry for my liking. Satisfied with the chicken cheese sausage though. Wouldn't get this again. Stick to their burgers!

We arrived there before 11am and didn't have to queue to get indoor seats. By the time we left, it was I think 1 plus pm, and the outdoor seats had been filled. An electronic queue (via iPad) had also been formed. I was just really thankful that we were seated indoors because the heat was unforgiving. Diners were fanning themselves outside.

Bishan-AMK park is a great place for photos; you just need to put up with the sun's powers. I'll be back!

Backstage Cafe

I first learned about the existence of Backstage Cafe through Kevin Chia's instagram. It caught my attention because I thought 'backstage' was an unusual name for a cafe. Then again, all sorts of cafes with creative names are sprouting out in Singapore, which is good for us, but not very healthy for our wallets haha.

I found out later about the significance of its meaning, which is linked to its location at Safekeep Building. The building houses TV studios, so it's of no surprise that many celebrities have visited it and autographed the pillar, haha.

Visited this cafe with my boy on New Year's day at close to 3pm :) Located in at Kallang's industrial estate, it was relatively accessible for us as we had to take a few stops down from Kovan/Serangoon to Boon Keng MRT, then take a bus and alight 4 stops later.

Loved the fact that Backstage was large and empty, with a high ceiling that doesn't make you feel claustrophobic like some smaller cafes do. Wifi is also available, perfect for students like myself who want a place to study or carry out group discussions.
