Casual Poet
|
To ease a bit of the Taipei-hangover, Shaun introduced me to Casual Poet, a laidback cafe tucked away in an inconspicuous shophouse in Chinatown. I told J about it and we went to check it out on a lazy Saturday.  布告欄 with Shaun's drawing! Owned by a very young lady-boss in her early twenties, this little hideout sits less than 20 and houses a good stock of zakka for sale.  A sunny day  Vintage typewriter  I <3 Notebooks! The food and drinks are rather pricey at about SG$7 for a strawberry shake and SG$10 for the chilli butter chicken rice (I can’t remember exactly). I like their chilli butter chicken rice even though it was a little too dry. On the other hand, the drinks and J’s fried rice didn’t do it for me (he claimed it was alright; that, or my tastebuds are just more sensitive). There’s free Wifi but my iPod Touch refused to connect to it somehow.  Skinny girl  Yummy!  Wooden shelves are nice I probably will not re-visit unless there’s an event going on because I feel the food and drinks are overpriced. However, it’s a nice-to-visit-once sorta place that I’d recommend to get out of the usual Starbucks or Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf monotony. Casual Poet |
