The Reading Room (Closed)

After the first visit at The Reading Room, I fell in love with it, so I decided to come back here on this lazy afternoon where I could lose myself in the comfort of fictional novels, coffee and an afternoon snack. Good music and service was all round, and the cafe was crowded this time round, much to my surprise. I am happy though - such a beautiful and bookish cafe, would be a shame if no one appreciates it.For beverage, I had the Himalayan Salt Coffee (SGD$5.00), an exquisite flavour that contains very subtle savoury hints amongst the aroma of this light coffee; pretty smooth with good notes and flavour.The Tiramisu (SGD$7.80) was well-moistened, with intense bursts of liqueur and coffee flavours mingling well like a dream; every mouthful was a light tease upon the palate, allowing the taste to seep deep into the senses easily.For full review and more detailed information, please feel free to visit:http://thearcticstar.blogspot.sg/2016/05/tea-break-at-reading-room-outram-revisit.html…Read More

I read about The Reading Room in a magazine at least a year back, but never found the time to visit till today. It is situated amongst a row of shophouses in Chinatown area, at 19 Bukit Pasoh Road, Singapore 089833 and the number to stay eonnected is 6220 9019.The outside is prettied up by plants and a distinctive maroon-and-white signboard, along with high bar tables and stools for those who prefer to have a glass of wine outdoors. The indoors is what really saps one's attention and leaves them awestruck - i never expected it to be this pretty. A combination of classic "library" combined with vintage charm, this comfortable cafe shall soon be my favorite spot to pop by.As the name implies, there are lots of books for reading or purchase, it is totally my kind of place - savouring a good book over a good meal or drink! The cosy, pretty ambience is enhanced further by sultry country / olden pop music, I spotted songs by Marilyn Monroe even!The TRR Burger came with bread that looked very freshly-baked, and it was almost crunchy at first bite. The beef patty was very delicious, well-marinated and succulent - the perfect juicy burger patty, save for tiny bits of hard fatty chunks. It was infused with the sapid flavor of cheese, enhancing the flavor. On top of that, the sweet crisps of lettuce, sour juiciness of tomato slices and crispy bacon elevated the texture and taste factors to very high notches on the sumptuous scale. I appreciated the quality recommendation.For more detailed infromation and photos, please feel free to visit:http://www.thearcticstar.blogspot.sg/2014/05/lunch-at-reading-room.html…Read More
