To expand my boundaries and knowledge on specialty coffee, I came across to this new independent coffee shop called RINSE. RINSE is managed by a very young, talented and passionate individual named Mervy, who often labelled himself as the "Brew God". Prior to his very first opening in RINSE, he worked under several reputable cafes in the past and greatly honed his skill as a barista over the years.

One day he realized that not many knows or appreciate specialty coffee, therefore, his dream to educate other strangers on specialty coffee became a reality with RINSE, which is a place where anyone nearby could come by and have a drink, perhaps, to receive free education on what is coffee all about. He stated that he will conduct weekly coffee education by having the local roasters to display their sample beans around!

Oh, did I forget to mention that the weekly coffee education is FREE of Charge?

On that particular day, I was lucky to have a great session with Cloud Catcher Asia in RINSE, a reputable roaster that is first founded in Singapore then Malaysia. They shared a variety of great samples with us and we get to know more stories behind the beans. With all these moment, they as a key coffee player hope that we could give more support to the coffee industry as a whole, the brighter future of specialty coffee will prevail.

The cupping session.

Bello, in this post, I would like to share my experience on hopping THREE cafes in one day, that scattered around Bangsar ! Not to mention that, this post will be simple and short, so yeah !
The cafe(s) are:

->PULP by Papa Palheta
->DR.inc
->Lorem Ipsum



  • PULP by Papa Palheta (Jalan Riong)
    I really love the infrastructure of the cafe because it has "factory-like or warehouse" sort of look to it.

This is the front door of the Cafe. Cool isn't? I have seen lots of instagramers took portrait nearby!

 As I entered, I saw tables but the thing is, the placement of the counter is at the middle, open-concept whereby everybody are free to walk-through.

Walk to the middle to order your desire menu items ^_^

Oh yeah, besides selling drinks, they also sell light pastries right beside the ordering counter.  

PULP sells varieties of coffee beans that cater the needs of any consumer's preferences. Every coffee beans has their own characteristics and their own pricing. You can also request for coffee beans supplier as they do provide these service to another cafe business.


PULP also accept any guests for cupping session on Every Friday only. For more information, please do drop-by for further inquiries.


Different type of brewing method also available in PULP !


I love cool stuff !

Best part was, you can eventually get near to the barista and see how coffee are done perfectly with passion <3
As I mention, the whole place is walk-able !

I ordered (1) Flat White of Nuts + Bolts varietal , (1) Latte of Throwback varietal and (1) Carrot Cake ! Carrot cake was da bomb !

 And.... For more information about PULP by Papa Palheta, you can refer to the image below:



  • DR.inc (Jalan Kemuja)
From PULP to DR.inc only took about 10 minutes via vehicle. It is easy to find a parking spot but the shop is slightly hard to detect. So you will need to walk nearer in order to detect the cafe.
At first, we thought that DR.inc is pronounced as "Doctor" then follow up by the pronunciation "inc/ink?"
But the truth is, it is pronounced as "Dr-inc" , well , you can say it is exactly the same as "Drink" pronunciation.

Front entrance of the DR.inc 's Cafe.

There's outdoor seats if anybody wants to.

Sort of special when DR.inc cafe also sell tableware and several types of seating products which are handmade.
Items for sale!

Large table for bigger group.

Here's where you order your menu items. The Barista is kind enough to twist your day into a better day.


The purpose of visiting DR.inc is to try out their coffee-based signature drinks. There is a list of of signature drinks at the counter, if you are still undecided on what to try, you could search for DR.inc review over the net.
Otherwise, the barista would be happy to assist on your preferences.
I ordered the Che Guevara at RM 14. This signature drink consists of three different element. First element that you will encounter in your taste bud is the utmost prominent component (Espresso over ice cubes) then follow up by hint taste of lemon's acidity and touch of brown sugar.

I also ordered a pastry which is Peach apricot, unfortunately I did not take a picture of it.
It is nice to chill in DR.inc because the environment is very different compare to the other cafe that I have visited before. The staff in DR.inc is also very friendly to assist you. Nice place if you seek for something unique, yes?


  • Lorem Ipsum (Jalan Bangkung)
Lorem Ipsum applies the concept of speakeasy into the cafe. So....
To access to Lorem Ipsum, I would suggest you to refer to other blogs that is available over the net because they provide you the hints on how to access into this cafe. This cafe took us 15 minutes after we step down from the car and wandered relentlessly around the shop lots because there is not signboard for this cafe.


The interior of Lorem Ipsum


Lorem Ipsum is a place for those people who love art painting ! They have weekly art painting event on every Friday with a cost stated !

Quite chilling huh?

I love this shot the most.

 Unfortunately, the Cappuccino that I have ordered is disappointed due to the milk foam is very dry. But hey, they do provide small bites for you at the side of the coffee cup !

After visiting Lorem Ipsum, I wish other cafes also practise the concept of speakeasy and apply into business. This is where coffee enthusiasts gets even more real on exploring cafes around Malaysia !

That's all, bye. 
!

Hey, what'dup readers - Here's another new blog post as of December.
A post regarding Singapore. Nothing much, only pictures could express a thousand words.

Sea in between Johor and Singapore.

Traffic congestion

Someone who is managing the guest's seats.

Singapore's public transportation (MRT/LRT) has become essential and beneficial to their citizen as well as for the tourists.

X'mas Sales.













Fascinating street market like never before.






Capturing lightstreak in Orchard Road, but still have long way to go.






Tourists, citizen enjoying Orchard Road street due to celebration of Xmas Eve.



A group of vocalist(s), sang Xmas Song.

OMG, a PS4 booth in Orchard Road where everybody can play!





Look similar to Clarke Quay...






I could see some architecture design under the bridge, brilliant - if only I take photo from different point of perspective ^^.

Merlion !



Gardens by the Bay


















Chinatown.












Lightstreak.


Night life in Clarke Quay is awesome.












So basically, went there for 3 Days and 2 Nights.
Almost travel the whole Singapore thanks to the public transport's availability, efficiency and convenience.

Spent est:
 800SGD , that includes;

A) Accomodation for 3 days 2 night @ Fragrance Hotel  [http://www.fragrancehotel.com/]

B) Food & Drinks :
-[Basic Needs]Average cost: 3-6$, Chicken rice, Soup Noodle & other local cuisine)
-[Craving/Unnecessary] Average Cost: 1-20$, on ice cream, White wine & other delicious desserts)

C) Transportation
15SGD for a transportation card similar to Touch'n'Go, able to use for bus and SMRT/SLRT, last for 3 days!

D) Items
Items such as bag, shirt, and any other related will cost from 5 to 25$ SGD if you are on a budget, otherwise ...

Author's note:
I personally think that, 3D2N is not enough for me to enjoy this trip, its way to short for me whereby I need to visit so many places in one-go.
Streets, city and town hustle at all times because it's a high density country- its sort of "alive" even though it is late at night which makes me like it.
Public transportation in SG makes every one's life easier to live in because it is convenient to move from one place to another.Speaking of public transport, I remember when i arrived in a station, I saw one young man was trying to pick a fight with an old man, I think that the old man hand-held item triggered the young man temper while walking in the crowd, the young man pissed and strip off the old man's hand-held item.
This has lead to seeking crowd's attention...
Safety wise, I do not have to worry much when walking around in a crowd blindly with my phone on my hands :) however, danger can happen at any time and any where thus, no one should let their guard down. On the other hand, r  lots of *random wild* immigrant living in SG which makes me think, what the hell happen in Singapore right now? This issue had give me a similar thoughts or impression like what I towards Malaysia, Overall, Singapore is still a better country than *you know what country with famous black-out tricks*
