Orange Thimble

Another café has “surfaced” in Tiong Bahru!

中峇鲁又出现新的咖啡馆了!

JAF was having breakfast at Tiong Bahru market and happened to walk pass this little café. Though we were still VERY FULL from our earlier breakfast, we couldn’t stop ourselves from NOT entering this café. Haha!

找食趣在中峇鲁巴刹吃完早餐后, 无意中经过这家小小咖啡馆。虽然已经吃得饱饱的, 但还是按捺不住踏进咖啡馆里。

It looked like any other café until we explored further in… Check this out!

咖啡馆看起来似乎很普通, 可是往里头钻后, 才发现原来内有乾坤喔。

Don’t you just love the backyard!
The cafe is a very cosy feeling place, and it’s divided into 5 sections, including the backyard. Each corner is a different layout. Cool right? 🙂

看看后巷, 是不是觉得别具风味呢?
整个咖啡馆共分为5个部分, 包括后巷在内。每一个部分都是不同的设计, 非常用心。

After you place your order at the counter, a “beeper” will be given. It will beep when your food is ready for collection.

点菜后, 你会拿到一个”迷你声响器”。当它发出声响, 就表示可以去领取食物了。

Beep! Beep! Your food is ready!

哔哔哔! 食物好了!

Nice cuppa latte to start your day! Remember these fancy gems biscuits we used to eat when we were young?

来一杯拿铁咖啡, 再吃吃童年时候常吃到的”七彩宝塔糖”饼干, 令人怀念啊。

They serve “All Day Breakfast” on weekends!

这里在周末时有提供全天候早餐哦。

Here you gooo…. 2 Sunny Side-up + 2 Sausages, Sauteed Mushroom + Roasted Tomatoes + Bacon +Baked Beans + 2 slices of Toast = $11.50

$11.50 的早餐, 内有两份的鸡蛋、香肠、面包、还有炒蘑菇、烤番茄、培根和茄汁焗豆。

Orange Thimble will definitely become another hang-out place for us! Next time we are coming here with an empty stomach! J

而且下一次找食趣一定会空着肚子来!

It’s a quiet and lazy weekday afternoon…
一个悠闲、慵懒的周日下午…

An old fashioned coffeeshop…
旧式的咖啡店…

Some customers sitting outside sipping coffee or tea, chatting or looking on as cars passed by once in a while…
三三两两的顾客喝着咖啡或茶，聊着天，细细品味，细细琢磨着一份怀旧情感…

Nostalgic mood lingering in the air…
浓郁的怀旧气息…

This is YY Kafei Dian, along Beach Road, located at the furthest end of Purvis street, diagonally opposite to Shaw Tower.

这里就是位于美芝路的喜园咖啡店。位置正好在海南二街的巴米士街的最末端，邵氏豪华大厦的斜对面。

There are actually quite a number of cze char and hainanese dishes at this kopitiam, but JAF is not going into details. Rather, as the title of this entry has indicated, JAF wants to focus on the toasted buns here, because this is what YY Kafei Dian is probably most famous for.

咖啡店里其实有卖不少的煮炒和海南菜肴，不过这次找食趣要重点介绍的是喜园里相当著名的烤面包。

The first thing to do is to just forget about not being ladylike, open your mouth super wide and bite into the big-sized bun. Probably a twisted face action, but guess this is all about having fun and enjoyment with nice food yeah?

吃那么大一个面包，其实就是要张开口大口大口地吃。是有点没有形象的吃相啦，可是这才是“找食趣”嘛，要吃得开心，从中享受吃的乐趣。

The buns are freshly baked and toasted before serving. The spread of kaya and butter melts in your mouth. And what’s most amazing is each bun is crispy on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside, making it a wonderful combination of taste and texture.
Just one word to sum it up ~ heavenly!

烤面包可是现烘现烤现卖，新鲜出炉的，里头夹着牛油加咖椰酱，是我们再熟悉不过的口味。令找食趣觉得最妙的是面包的外脆内松软，别有一番滋味。单单这一大特点，就算是不喜欢吃面包的人都会口水满地流咯。真的，我就是最好的例子。我本身就不喜欢吃面包，但这烤面包却让我欲罢不能喔。

For those who have yet to taste the toasted kaya and butter buns here, you will surely be in for a nice little surprise!
还没吃过喜园的咖椰牛油烤面包吗？马上就去吧，肯定会让你有所惊喜。
