As we couldn’t get seats at Cat Socrates + it was getting too dark for some lomo action, we headed over to the Mint Museum of Toys for coffee. J getting trigger happy with his funny conversion lens (wide angle) that Kenji and him bought from Cat Socrates at only SG$8.50.

p/s: They sell the funny lenses at Strapya World too, but at US$9+! Pricey!

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.

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.

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.
