CBT: Starbucks @ One Fullerton
So, after a week of hiatus, I've decided to start a new series on the blog. It'll be a series that blogs about cafes in Singapore. Since I visit cafes relatively often, it makes sense for me to have a section on the blog where I can write simple reviews on the cafes and it gives people a nice option to look to when they're looking for a place to chill.
I'm got some time off work today and headed down to One Fullerton after taking a short nap at home. Thought I'd have a relatively relaxed time in a cafe in town on a weekday afternoon.
Times have changed. Students can afford to go to Starbucks to study nowadays. I could hardly find any seat after coming in to the aircon section of the cafe. Laptops, books, calculators all strewn around. Surprised.
I think decor at Starbucks is in general quite similar. What makes this one interesting is that it's got a large waterfront section, directly facing the Esplanade, Marina Bay Floating Platform and the new IRs. The waterfront view is not the most fantastic one in the world, but I should say it's not too bad for Singapore.
This is a nice place to chill, and the outdoor section is quite windy because of the waterfront. It's got some big tables outdoors should you need some extra space to get some real work done.
The indoors section is a little narrow shaped corridor and if the other coffee lovers are talking and joking, the sound can be a little noisy. :)
I ordered a Iced White Chocolate Mocha. It's a nice drink if you want a flavourful drink without the heatiness of the chocolate. I like the nice burnt caramel taste that you get with the drink. Nice!
Putting up a sign like this in front of your rival (Coffee Bean), is not very nice. In fact, it makes lions with fishtails puke.
