Singapore Coffee Shop #1 on our list is the first one I visited. I got there all of 20 minutes after making my way through Singapore customs. When a girl needs her a coffee, she needs her coffee. And thank the good Lord this coffee shop was awaiting me in the terminal.
I would like to introduce you to The Connoisseur Concerto, affectionately known as TCC.
One of the discontentments we've grown since living abroad is the lack of good hearty food in American coffee shops. There are days when I want to camp out in a coffee shop for hours on end, and a meal is in order. Thinking back to the coffee hubs I know and love in the States, I would have pastries number 1, 2, and 3 to choose from. We coffee drinkers gotta eat! While exploring various coffee shops abroad, I've been able to see the possibilities of vibrant plates that fill my belly and fill it well, and TCC was no different.
The menu was full of meals of all sizes - soups, salads, sandwiches, pastas, appetizers, desserts - but it was breakfast time, so I chose their fruit pancakes. They were fresh and perfect, with a slightly crispy outer layer and carmelized bananas with fresh strawberries and raspberries on top. After the amount of time I had been on a plane? I was a little drooly. This breakfast was perfectly comforting.
Their coffee menu was an extensive list of specialty coffee and espresso drinks, and I had their TCC's special blend. In honor of kopi, it was thick and rich, and left me wanting nothing more. The taste was bold and full enough to wake me up instantly. Boy, was I paying attention.
TCC is one of those chains that don't forget quality in their success. If you're ever in Singapore - and trust me, you should be in Singapore - visit TCC for an idea of a really fantastic and professional specialty coffee shop looks like.
