Cafe Cafe - Backstage Cafe


So, I've got it all wrong... 
I kept thinking Backstage Cafe is the single level building in red, 
The one at the corner of the bendemeer junction...
Now I know it is actually very near my ex offices... In Kallang!!!
Sigh

Its a nice place, very spacious feel from the big room, wide seats and high ceiling.
The kitchen is in the back, pretty much like a theatre backstage,
And the light snacks and beverage station, cum cashier is like an island in the middles of the space.

Lunch menu looks good but dun have much of appetite... 
All ruin by the BBQ leftover last night!!! -.-
No choice have to pick something really light and no more meat or protein!
Waffle lor... In mood for sweets... Happy days mate!
And the all important cuppa!


Electronics very unfriendly, but when u are alone in a cafe,
It provides virtual company where u can torture those who are not physically present...
Muahahahahaha

While I was engross in app-ing, the server set the waffle down on the table...
And when it had my attention... IT HAS MY ATTENTION!
Wow seh! The late need so big anot?!!
Dunno if the waffle is big, but becos the plate so big, I feel the waffle also like damn big leh!!!

There is no way I can finish it!
And true enough I struggled!!!
But then... I was bored... 
Then I decided on the Sequel to Sylvester and Twitty Bird!
And I muttered "Platey Platey plate plate" and out came MeowB3!!!


                                                     Shortly after, Angry bird arrived!!!


Know what? 
They scooted off to dunno where when a blue eye gold hair guy went are with a big video cam, 
asking ppl in large grp if to let him "shoot" (not literately ok)... 
He came in a van with these words... MEDIACORPS... Go figure...

Cafe Cafe - The Coffee Shot

It's another place that it kept passing by, ever wanted to check it out 
but it's in an awful area for car parking, go down and u'll know what I mean...

Then come Labour Day 2014... 
It's 9am, great day for a good coffe N cafe breakie!!!
Down the road in my little blue auto and what do I find?
Long queues everywhere, for car parks, road side, even table or a single seat in the cafe
All uber duper long until from far can see!!!
No Rokeby, no Lola's, no SunRay, No Serangoon gardens,
No Careshop De Cafe (the one with the most exaggerated q!), 
No no no no no no no no
Super irritating ley!

It's 11 plus... 
Am contemplating giving up and drive home 
and seek forgiveness from my instant noodles in the kitchen cabinet... 
*sniff sniff* 

All that driving, waking up early and my petrol!!!
Come to null?!!

Sigh, had to park soon... Hands trembling from hunger *_*
 See public car park = Good... Trembling too much for any more driving...
Alas! Free parking on public holiday! Good Good!
Hmm... Wondering wats round the corner...
Hahahaha! It's The Coffee Shot!



It's as if I have been called to this place?!!
After all the drama, made a quick decision on order and settle down.

Pleasantly surprised by the deco, 
Comparing with it's exterior, it's much prettier.
Plenty of sunlight, warm feeling...
but there was only 1 table occupied with 2 guys studying
So crowd meter abit low...

Reviews says that, come here only if u want a place to study or do work
 or need ac power source for your lappies...
I wonder what that means... 

Erm... Flat white came... And shortly food came...
Scrambled eggs with a bratwurst sausage and 3slices of ham,
Greens with halved tomato and a small square bun...
Square bun?? Ya, u know those old Sokol western food stalls serve type of bun?
Ya lah... That square bun lah...
qO.op

Verdict: Food... Not quite worth the price
(Maybe the bratwurst is the mot expensive item, that takes up most of the cost)
But it's forgettable... Will come for sweets next time, but will not be my first choice though :X
