A long weekend and a SUPERB chillout!
It's been almost 2 and a half months since I had any Saturdays off from work. Thank goodness this Saturday there isn't heavy events going on. I went back to office for a short while to tie up loose ends and managed to 'knock off' at 11.20am to catch a shuttle bus from Great World City to Chinatown. I had a makan outing with friends from a forum at Chinatown's Hong Lim Market and Cooked Food Centre. We met up at Chinatown MRT before proceeding to Hong Lim Market & Cooked Food Centre. Guess what we had? Cha Kway Teow! Yummy! Here's what we had... don't salivate, go try it! I had the Chat Kway Teow without chilli and hum because I don't like the raw fishy rubbery after-taste.
After we had the wonderful Cha Kway Teow for lunch, we went over to a cafe. It's newly opened by a friend's ex-camp mate, who set it up with 2 other partners. It's called Global Sounds. It's a cafe with World Music theme. Not a bad theme for a cafe, since there isn't any in Singapore with such a theme. Moreover, I've been trying to search for a suitable place to chill and hang out after my tiring working days for my weekends.
It's at the corner of Smith Street and it's pretty easy to find.
We climbed up a flight of stairs to the 2nd floor and we had a pleasant suprise. The interior was quite well furnished and gave a homely warm cosy feeling.
We eased ourselves into a comfortable sofa corner and settled down for long chats, with several rounds of drinks and deserts. The Chef Tiramisu, Cafe Latte, Cafe Vienne, Ice Blended Mocha were ordered by my friends. All enjoyed the F&B. I had my 1st round of drinks with Ice Honey Osmanthus. It gave a fruity and slightly floral taste with a fragrant tinge of sweet honey. I liked it and ordered a 2nd round of Ice Honey Rosebud. This drink gave a more floral and fragrant taste, cuz of the young rosebuds.
