Another hidden gem in Tiong Bahru

We have always loved the this old housing area in Tiong Bahru - Tiong Poh Road, Eng Hoon Street, Seng Poh Lane, etc. Love the out-of-the-world retro feel and appearance of this estate and the tranquility it gives.

Turns out that there is yet another hidden gem besides Forty Hands. But Forty Hands is not much of a hidden gem anymore, with its growing popularity and stream of customers. When Forty Hands is swamped on weekends, maybe you can try Orange Thimble on Eng Hoon Street.



There are more seatings at the back, really nice and quiet area for a weekend for reading and enjoying a cup of coffee.

They sell Coke and some other soft drinks in the glass bottle form.

Ice cream served in tradtional Chinese bowls and spoons.

Latte served with old school biscuits.
