I met up with my supplier at Bedok North over the weekend and we popped into a nearby coffee shop for drinks when I came across these Gabu Gabu cans at the counter which reminded me of their recent commercials I came across on TV. Decided to give both flavours a try since the name is so adorably catchy, […]
As more and more new hipster cafe-hopping enclaves that are worth discovering & exploring are just sprouting up all over the island, Tiong Bahru seems to be less interesting than before as it is riddled with so many cafes of the same nature but… TB truly has this old school charm that is totally unparalleled.
