The Diner (Taipei)

The Diner is probably one of my favourite eateries in Taiwan, maybe even surpassing that Michelin star global brand. Some may cry foul over the blasphemy of having western food instead of local cuisine while in Taiwan, but food shouldn't be limited by geographical boundaries right? By the large crowd that was in the restaurant, it seems that I am not the only one impressed by this unassuming restaurant.

D' Good Cafe

WISHES COME TRUE. Hahah I wrote about waiting for the day I get a bear latte art in my previous entry, and the day has finally arrived! So this will be a short entry about my adorable milk bear ( which I later murdered ). 

Hello Bear

Department of Caffeine ( D.O.C )

After our brunch at Symmetry, we headed to Tanjong Pagar for our next stop, the Department of Caffeine! It is tucked inconspiciously at the corner of Duxton Road; a couple of stores away is Littered with Books and Group Therapy, both worth checking out too.

Do I have your attention now? 

Symmetry

I have a bunch of things that I will like to blog about, including the trip to NYC in 2011 and a couple of backdated events. But I decided to skip them over for now and write a little about some of the cafes I visited recently. First up, brunch at Symmetry!

Symmetry is about a 10 minutes walk from Bugis MRT Station. Head towards the direction of Haji Lane / Arab Street and you should be able to locate the street, Jalan Kubor, very easily.

Spot these four words and you are there!
