Chye Seng Huat Hardware - For coffee?


Learnt about CSHH a while back in a friend's Facebook update and got to visit it recently.
 
The location is quite off the beaten track at 150 Tyrwhitt Road, and that kind of added to its charm :) In a nutshell, C and I took Bus 33 from Tiong Bahru Plaza, changed to Bus 145 at Victoria Street, got off a few stops after Lavender MRT Station when we saw Pek Chuan Building and walked... Was really hot the day we went and in the heat of it all, I forgot to take a picture of the CSHH but I do think it is unlikely you will miss it, thanks to the constant movement of people in and out of it.
 
Ice Coffee, Chye Seng Huat Hardware
I went for cold again. Phew. The only ice coffee available is the cold brew which came in a bottle with syrup and milk which you can add to, depending on your preference. C said that it looked like cough syrup or something along that line :P Quite special, not the usual cappuccino or latte :)
By the way, we chose to sit indoors (no surprise right?). It was free seating and full so we sat at the bar counter first. Interesting how the counter is an island, unlike most cafés, so we could see the service staff moving around their chores.


Food, Chye Seng Huat Hardware
We shared a Ham Omelet which was nice and moist, and went well with the toast :) Despite the hot weather, it was nice to have sunlight streaking into the cafe - so sunshine, and perfect for an omelet. Haha.

Chicken Patties was nice and moist too. Lucky we shared though - 6 would be too much! The story behind this order went this way: we were undecided between sausages and chicken patties and asked the service staff who said he personally preferred the latter and so we ordered it. Thanks!

If I am not wrong, I think this is Raspberry Madeleine. C ordered it for desserts after our main course. OK. Guess my marginal utility was falling after a good lunch :P

The ambiance was quite nice (in spite of the noise). Food was also good at a reasonable price. I say 再成發五金 is quite a cool place to hang out - location so near town, yet feel so far...
