Forty Hands (Closed)

Visited the restaurant for brunch, it was crowded but we don't have to wait for our table. Overall service was good.We ordered Asian slider with braised pork, Egg Benedict bacon and roasted potatoes, and infamous Tau Sar Bao. Our food was tasty even the restaurant was busy however coffee was okay but not great as it was bitter. Recommend this place if you want savory brunch.

40 Hands is a long-time player in the local cafe scene, located right in the heart of the bustling clave of cafes that is Tiong Bahru. You will find Forty Hands often busy because of its popularity, so it may not be the most conducive for chats. In our case, we found it quitehard to hear each other over the surrounding bustle and overlappingconversations. Still, the hustle and bustle of the cafe makes it a warm place to be if you enjoy the cosy atmosphere. The menu includes the standard brunch i

As I am in the area, I decide to drop by for breakfast. Brunch is served daily from 8am to 4pm. The air-con dine in area is quite packed and so I decide to go to the backyard to dine after paying for my order at the counter. I am given a wooden number tag where food will be served to me at the table.The backyard is non aircon and is a bit quite warm with the spot lights shining down.On every tables, tissue is available in a paper bag, with packets of sugar in a paper cup. Cute isn't it.Flat Whit

This is another idiosyncratic cafe with basic, casual designs and an ambience that screams "make yourselves right at home". One can choose to sit in the comfortable couch seats or perch on the high stools over coffee, chatter and catching up.The aroma of freshly brewing coffee filled the tiny cafe, and at all hours, the wooden seats are always filled up.I began with a good solid cup of Soy Mocha. This silky-smooth cup of coffee is neither too thick or thin, but the rich fragrance of coffee is pr

my cafe hopping partner and I went to Forty Hands because we heard that they serve awesome coffee so it was on our to-go cafes checklist. This hipster cafe gets really crowded during the weekends but luckily CC and I managed to get a table. There were 2 storeys and the place was quite cramped and it was as noisy as a local coffeeshop. It will not be an ideal place to chill because seatings are very cramp and you will feel pressurized to leave after finishing your food since there will always peo

This is my first timedining at 40 hands and always read from the review that they serve pretty decent hot dogs here and decided to give it a try.There are four different choices on the menu for the hotdog. They are Big Bang, The Classic, The Ottoman and The Odyssey.I have ordered the Big Bang Gourmet Hot Dog and it consists of bacon, scrambled eggs, bolognese and chilli flakes, beef and pork sausage. it is like a brunch dish that is packed into a hot dog bun. And to me, this hot dog bun is actua

I came by this cafe at around 4 plus pm and it was relatively quiet. I heard it's super crowded during the peak hours, especially on weekends! I sat at the basement level which had nobody at all! I love the decor of the place, very rustic! I ordered a hot cappuccino and their signature tau sar pau. At $2.50, this is the most expensive tau sau pau I ever had! However, the size and filling inside sort of justifies the price. I like my cappuccino, it's not too acidic and just nice! I will want to

Rich in taste but not too overwhelming in terms of bitterness (they use Fairtrade coffee beans!) and added with the right amount of milk, I felt that it was just right for me. Coffee is something this place is popular for, so trying is believing!The Truffle Fries is also something to order here. One of the cheaper truffle fries around, it i

I came here on a Saturday, and the place was so cramped up and noisy, I was lucky to be able to share a seat with 2 other girls. I was getting bored of eggs Ben, so I decided to order a sandwich because I heard that their portions are pretty generous! Ordered the Thai chicken sandwich, and it was really yummy! The 2 sandwiches were surprising filling! If you like food with a tangy taste, do try the this sandwich. I'm a huge fan of Thai food, esp tom yum so this hit the spot! Although the chicken

This is quite a famous cafe in Tiong Bahru estate. We went there during a weekday at around 12pm and there isn't much of a crowd. There is three different areas to sit in the cafe - the outdoor area, the air conditioned area where you order the food and the backyard which is non air-conditioned but still cooling because of the fans. We sat at the backyard, which is quite a unique experience since it was very quaint. For the food offerings, there is a few different types of food sold - Toasties (

Sadly, stranger's reunion wasn't open and we missed it yet again on our cafe hunt. Of course, there's always forty hands. Certified fair trade coffee beans in my favourite flat white. and a pretty latte art to boot. The taste of their flat white is distinctly different from their latte and that was something I really appreciate. a flat white has less milk than a latte and that foam which gives it a creamier taste. and that was exactly what I was served! Of course what better snack than truffle f

Went to a book store in Tiong Bahru and found this lovely café across from the street.It was a Friday night and the café is already full of people. We found a seat at the corner. By the seat, is an adorable wall painting, which looks quite like Jesuss.Truffle Fries: Super nice! And with big portion! We two people could hardly finished. White Flat: Tasty coffee with a lovely heart shape on the top.Truffle Mushroom Sandwich:The baked sandwich is filled with some unknown vegetables and mushrooms. F

Tucked away in a hidden quiet corner at Tiong Bahru, which was one of the first public housing estates in Singapore, 40 Hands certainly stood out among the old buildings being a modern and trendy looking cafe, which would appeal to students and young professionals alike.The name was inspired from the fact that an average of 40 hands are required in the production of coffee, from the initial process of planting coffee seeds to the end product of a delicious and aromatic fresh brew. What many fail

I had ever had a good experience at 40hands. I did not know where were all the MAIN baristas? The baristas on the floor that day were all pinoys. We ordered Latte, V60 pour over Colombia beans and Banana cake. We slurped the first slurp of the V60, we had given up. Tasted horribly. Im sorry, not that we don't know coffee alright. Basically we knew what we were tasting. Latte wasn't as smooth as before. Im so sorry, 40 hands. You deserve better compliment, but not this time round.

We were here on a saturday morning and the cafe was rather crowded. I ordered a jamaican pork sandwich (about $10) and it came wrapped up in two slices. The bread was two thick and the pork flavourful. In fact, i thought the portion was rather big and could only finish 3/4 of it. Maybe I'm just not a breakfast person. The coffee was good as well, and I heard it is one of the best in Singapore. However, my knowledge of coffee is not very good :/look how cute it is!It was difficult for us first ti
