Jones the Grocer in Dempsey Singapore

Coffee & cake time after Friday lunch. Food knick knacks and sweet things abound. 


Seems like a hangout for people who work a 4 day week. So Fridays full gentlemen in shorts and ladies in straw hats. he coffees and hot chocolates came by. Good for us. chocolate was not too hot & not too sweet. Price was ok.


We liked the ambience of a larder, kitchen counter and bakery all in one. With the slight air or organised grocery shop chaos. Some how works for tropical Singapore. Neat, tidy, works but cluttered in an ordered sort of a way. Wah! can do lah!

Palette Bengaluru

Driving down Tomkur highway. Zig zagging between 3 wheel taxis and scooters. Hot rod trucks honking at us. We pass the solid viventa Taj security. Into a hearty hot Thosai or rice pancake breakfast in luxury surroundings. Had chai masala and lentils to super glue the savory indian breakfast. Modern Bangalore furnishings. Relaxed in the courtyard and smooth atmosphere..
