Hello everyone,
Reality is sometimes not as beautiful as expectations, that's what happened this time. Starting from a suggestion from a post on social media, I became curious about one thing in this tourist area. This time I'm still talking about Singapore, but more than that, I want to tell you a lot about a very unique experience of queuing for a cup of coffee which went very viral on social media.
It might become very viral when Taylor Swift is currently holding a concert in Singapore where almost 50% of the audience comes from Indonesia. Since January, Singapore has continued to attract lots of tourists because of the Coldplay and Taylor Swift concerts, not just concerts, this has even made Singapore's economy higher because many things have been affected. One of them is culinary and retail.
The concert, which was held for days, was successful in bringing lots of foreign tourists to Singapore, making the economy spin and you know, that was huge. Plus, many people who are called 'influencers' make the country much in demand due to 'honest reviews'. I also became an easy target, one of the people who believed that sentence.
Let me tell you, I was stuck in a very long queue for a cup of coffee with chocolate topped with marshmallow topping torched with fire. Yes, I've wanted it since I found out what's interesting in Singapore right now. The limited food I can eat is an obstacle, but I'm interested in drinking coffee in Singapore. One of them is coffee at this bakery shop.
Being on Haji Lane, it wasn't difficult to search on Google Maps, and I found a long queue which actually really killed time for tourists who only have limited time like me. I joined in the queue because I was very curious about the taste. In my mind, 'How would a moccachino taste with marshmallow topping? And I've never tried that from all the coffee menus available'.
Full of curiosity and I volunteered my time queuing, finally it was my turn to get a cup from this favorite menu from 'The French American Bakery'. Even the cakes they sell are less famous than the marsmellow mocachino they have. I spent 30 minutes of my time standing and queuing. I got 1 cup for 8 SGD, for coffee at that price, it's really very expensive.
You can see from some of the photos I took, many people were queuing and even very close to their glass dividers. This fairly small merchant was very full of visitors, we were even restricted from going inside so as not to get too crowded and fight for air to breathe.
There are several cakes that they sell at standard prices in Singapore, even though they are very tempting, I don't have enough money to buy some cakes, besides, I'm on a sugar diet and I'm almost tormented by the urge to buy them. But I'm not sure about the taste, because very few people buy cake. I will go to one of the other bakery shops that are more famous here.
Honestly, I don't like the coffee a little because it's too sweet, it even makes it hard for my throat to swallow the last ½ cup. I thought it was too sweet from the marshmellow because I mixed and stirred everything. I didn't even taste a hint of coffee, I only felt 'pure sugar and marshmallow'. There is a slight bitter taste from the coffee and chocolate, but it doesn't make me want to repurchase it, but believe me, if you like sweets, then you need this.
Quite satisfied with drinking ½ cup of mocachino from The French American Bakery, I thought I should visit again to buy some croissants which made me very interested in terms of aesthetics, shape and variants they sell.
See you the next time hive friends!
