0409 @Yong Siak Street

Under the merciless sun and my really unbelievably bad sense of direction, we spent an hour before reaching Yong Siak. It was a terrible terrible day and we were all dressed down with knits and me decked in a pair of wedge and jeans got me almost swearing the afternoon away if i weren't with this two decent sweethearts :)
I got them taking the bus in another direction...such a jue ying act.

Well, we still got there and even though we didn't want to try out Forty hands due to the price, it was the only wise decision because we were so hungry and warm by the time we managed to reach that inaccessible beautiful street.And boy..we didn't regret that.




40 Hands Cafe
I really didn't want to go around like any cliche blogger but this cafe left me a deep impression. Aroma of roasted coffee beans greeted us once we step our foot inside this crampy cafe that was bustling with people and mainly..american chicks. It's really not a joke when people talk about their coffee because just like how they talk about their fairtrade Arabic coffee beans..it was so good.
I had ice mocha and maybe it was because of their generous serving of cocoa powder, it was 70% bittersweet. Just like how i wanted it to be.
We also shared their truffle mushroom wheat sandwich and the thai chicken sandwich..I prefer the truffle mushroom with bitter rocket mushroom..the truffle oil and velvety mushroom was a joy on the tongue :) The bread was also toasted till crispy..and it was homemade. Such satisfaction.

The atmosphere was laid back with various oldies played in the background and i think other than the fact that we were enjoying the food, we were thoroughly at ease with laughing our heart's content and making loud confessions..it seemed like the cafe was so busy and everyone was so into each other that we naturally blended into the moment. It was perfect. Without mentioning, Amanda and Jing xuan was the female leads of my perfection.

I always thought i didn't have a 'best friend'.Someone who would appreciate the same music as me,someone who would share my views,someone who thinks baking and cooking are not just for mothers,someone who  i can call in the middle of the night and someone whom would enjoy the same music as i do.Well,I still don't think i have.
Rather, i think i got myself a better deal.I'v got a midget twinny sisters for myself whom i always feel like protecting and are always proud of. They are just like what i think a best friend will be. We share the same interests, the same views and even the same taste in food...the possibilities are LOW Low low no?

I don't know about others..but i hope i can have them until the day i'm wrinkled and old and we will still be baking healthy cupcakes,cooking for each other and running 10k like a boss.








I can't decide.So i want them both :)



For you for love books, indie cafes, bittersweet coffee and a whiff of beautiful vintage blocks.
See you there.
