department of caffeine - Cafe
was posted at 21:29 with 0 comments





Last Sunday, the 4th of August. We went to D.O.C or department of Caffeine for our brunch, cause we have heard that they have used inexpensive materials for the interiors. Which in turn makes the entire place felt closer to home. Personally I like the stools, they are simple looking but yet functional, without the need of superflous design. They exist in the cafe without disrupting the warmly feel of the place. Even the cabinets over at the counters were made from plywoods and light sanding, exposing the grains of the wood. 

The cafe was relatively small and straightforward. An "I" shape cafe with the counter over at the back. Despite it, the ambience of the place felt closely knitted, in the sense that the bond between the customers and the staffs are close. Everyone felt so familiar with one another. That was what I have felt the moment I entered the cafe.









Overall, the cafe had a very nice ambience as well as a good place for friends to hangout and chill. but we do not recommend it for bigger groups as its quite a small place. Do go early during the weekends as it can be quite a wait. Food wise its pretty good. various breakfast meals and some main dishes.

Jewel Cafe + Bar
was posted at 16:31 with 0 comments



On the 27th July, Saturday we went to Jewel Cafe for dinner and it was a pretty nice place to hang out. The name of the cafe, Jewel according to the boss means Jesus, it was a direct translation of Jesus in Mandarin. There is this very welcoming air about the place, it felt like we were attracted to here like magnets. As for the furniture it was a blend of the olden and modern days. The interior was minimally done up, spacious and well organized. Well lit and yet not disturbing to anyone, even with our curious presence.  



HAHHAHHAAH! Casper hard at work, just to get a good shot of the Aeroplanes!



The second level has a more lounge like feel compare to the first level. The first floor has this magical feel that will make conversation comes out gradually, where else the second floor. Makes people just want to kick back and enjoy the remaining days. Time felt slower and relax. The interior at the top is slightly different, I would said compared to the bottom. It felt harder, with it raw unfinished textured ceiling and long squarish sofa. But it did it job just fine to make one feel relaxed.




And of course, going to a cafe we had to try out their food! and they did not disappoint! our tummies were filled to the brim and it was totally worth the money. If you guys are planning to make a trip down to Jewel Cafe, do try out their onion soup and OMG burger!!

Do let us know if you have any interesting designed cafes that is worth the hype, and we will check it out! :)

There is a saying that children have a wider imagination then adults, because we usually tend to over think about stuff. Here's an example, how a child's creativity came up with one idea that would possibly be an idea that might actually work in the real world.
