Cozy Corner Coffee

Just a few doors away from Nylon, yet another café has quietly sprouted out in the Everton neighbourhood. Not one that I would go to for a decent cuppa, this family café nonetheless offers a pleasant vibe for a carefree afternoon, with free wi-fi and power sockets in the walls.

The past May had just seen my busiest month in recent years come and go. While I'm still trying to find time for some of the new places I have missed, here is one recent visit to a relatively new ramen shop rumoured to exist along East Coast Road. (As it turned out, it's just a few doors away from Penny University.)

Three ramen soup bases: miso, shōyu and shio. Noteworthy is the uncommon use of ingredients such as yamaimo (Japanese yam) and daikon (radish) in their ramen.



The broths here were not as robust as that of Tonkotsu King (of course nobody can beat that), it had quite a unique taste of its own nevertheless.



For those chashu lovers who don't like big chucks of meat, the Chashu Ramen ($12) would probably save your day.







Given the amount of time it takes to travel, I don't think I will come down again any time soon. But for those of you who are already in the area next time, here is one place for you to check out.

I guess by now this new coffee destination on Duxton Road needs little introduction.





The house offers espresso-based coffee using local roaster Nylon's el Primero Blend as well as Crompton Road Blend by Australian Five Senses. For those who wanna do some serious coffee, try their single origins from Columbia and Kenya, brewed with whichever method you prefer.





Besides its caffeinated offerings, this café is one of the few rare breeds I know which serve really decent food. I particularly liked the crunchy and flavoursome chargrilled broccoli from the salad bar.









And talking about cafés which serve good food, I wish I can make time to get down to Jewel's latest outfit on Rangoon Road soon.
