Bugis always seemed to be that preferred central location and on one of my many food expeditions, I found my way to Shokudo which they brand themselves as a Japanese coffee house. Somehow, I never gave the cafe as much of those quick glances into its interior and be discouraged by the seemingly increasing crowd that fills the coffee house overtime. To be honest, I never really gave Shokudo much thoughts, always thinking that there are other places worth the money in my cash deprived wallet. I sk
I skipped the lunch aspect and set my eyes on the dessert portion which I have to say was rather extensive. Oshiruko (Japanese Red Bean Paste), Mochi, Ice Creams and Waffles.

I can always go for a cooling drink to quench that forever summer season we Singaporean always have to bare. I went for the Iced Lychee Float ($5.80), chilly and perking that's how I like love my floats to always be. Service was rather hesitant which what I perceived as no confidence or no experience in serving people. It didn't bring any comfort when I have to change my language from English to Chinese and back to English again because the staff couldn't apprehend the already simplified terms I was using.

Whatever it is, I am just glad I gave Shokudo a try and that's another good cafe for desserts covered!
