Forty Hands (Closed)

Having heard so much about Forty Hands from friends and various media sources, we decided to give it a try. The restaurant was packed on a Saturday afternoon. We managed to get a seat but in the non-aircon section. Ordered cafe latte and a slice of choco tart (can't remember the exact name). The latte tasted slightly bitter - think its too strong. The choco tart was semi-sweet, good for those who prefer not-so-sweet dessert. However, I thought it would taste even nicer if it is warm (the tart wa

Ever since I moved here from London 3 years ago, I've been looking for a good cup of coffee!! My friend and I went coffee hunting last Sunday, first stop was the Forty Hands. The cafe was so packed, we got ourselves a table outdoor, they have those old stools, and old looking table - it was actually a iron board and a rack putting together. They don't have fancy decor, they only reuse the milk tin for their sugar holder, a paper bag for the napkins.My friend ordered a cold drip & long black,

Lunch @ Yong Siak Street's 40 Hands - recommended by one of my best friend that this is a nice place to chill out with nice coffee...today colleagues and i suppose to try the hainanese curry somewhere near by... but it was closed, so 40 Hands strike my mind... so we spend 15min to walk from Tiong bahru Market to reach 40 Hands....the place is quite cosy... interior decoration quite cool... first time here.. a bit lost don't know what to order, so through the recommendation from the Cashier... we

Heard and read some reviews of Forty Hands and mostly were good. A friend told me that apparently she read that the owner made better coffee than the staff and we were very luckyto see him around today. We had the latte@$5.00 and it was one of the best I ever had and everything about it was good, creamy, aromatic and strong. The owner was very thoughtful and friendly and a friend of mine had an expresso and he taught my friend to drink it immediately as the longer you take to consume a expresso,

I ordered the Eggs Cocotte, which had baby spinach,mushrooms topped with two poached eggs. I think traditional Eggs Cocotte entail the eggs being baked in a dish together with the ingredients, so this was definitely a somewhat deconstructed version. Pretty tasty though, mainly due to the very flavourful mushroomTheir tou sa pau is very huge & super soft & fluffycoffee are great too overall i rate 8/10

Fourty Hands is quite a nice cafe! Very Australian style. I Ordered a ham and cheese sandwiches that was very generous in portion of ham, abit salty though. The bread however was really good! Very crispy and tasty. You could even eat it on its own! Had a latte which was not bad too. Prices were quite okay too!

40 hands yummy breakfast Cute restaurant name. 40 hands? means 20 peoples cooked this? hahaHad breakfast in the morning with friends at this restaurant at tiong bahru. The half cooked soft boiled eggs are just perfect with the Hollandaise sauce on top. The bread and ham were nice too. The breakfast is just perfect with a cup of fragrant white coffee.

Having walked around Tiong Bahru (and gotten lost along the way), we finally reached 40 hands. 40 hands is nestled at Yong Siak St which can be quite difficult to find. However, 40 hands is quite a good find. The breakfast that was served (even in the afternoon) came in a big portion and the good blend of latte finished off the satisfying meal. I'll definitely go back there

Forty Hands...as the name may sound is not something fanciful but a cosy cafe outlet that is nicely tucked in the mist of the oldest estate in Singapore!A miniature joint that are usually packed on almost every morning, they have embarked to create more space on their current unit and an extension to accomodate on the overwhelming crowd.Great coffee and breakfast set are always available and do give their Tau Sau Par a try.

From plant to cup, it requires on average the work of forty hands, that is how the name of this three-month-old café came about. Tucked away in the sleepy Tiong Bahru estate, coffee connoisseurs now have one more hot spot to pick up their cup of gourmet coffee.Forty Hands was a joint set up by a group of visionary individuals who share the same desire to improve the life of millions of coffee growers in developing countries through the coffee they make here.Its coffee menu features a selection o

If you happen to live near yong siak street, you will be surprised to see such a well conceptualised coffee house to be nestled in the heartlands. I tried some cappucino, latte and the lemon cheese cake. It was a perfect simple high-tea session! As their website mentions, their barista is well trained and does not press buttons blindly. I witnessed the whole professional making of my coffees as i was sitting right beside the counter! p.s: Do note that they close quite early at 6.30pm everyday!

Despite only having opened in October, Forty Hands is already drawing a steady crowd of caffeine addicts. Located in an old shophouse in the serene realms of Tiong Bahru, the cafe is named after the mean number of people required in coffee production, from the plant to cup.Drinks on the menu, brewed from certified Fair Trade coffee beans, range from $2.50 for a single shot of espresso to $8.50 for a large mocha. The iced latte ($7.50) certainly lived up to my expectations of a cuppa from a speci
