It is the first time I set foot in East Village, a mixed-development project in Simpang Bedok area, where level 1 comprises of retail fronts, and the condo residences are above.  There are so many cafes and ice-cream parlours here - the hipsters and cafehoppers are going to have a field day here!

Anyway, Time Table Cafe was the most spacious looking one with the poshiest decor in comparison to the other joints here, hence we decided to grab our pre-dinner coffee here. I loved the black, white and silver decor magnified by the presence of mirrors, as well as the comfortable leather seats.

The array of pastries and ice-cream look tempting. If I wasn't about to head for a food tasting session, I would have attacked the Lemon Tart or Rainbow Cake !

*V chose an Affogato (SGD$7.40) - shot of espresso with a huge scoop of ice-cream. She went for pistachio flavour. The ice cream was creamy but not too rich, hence retaining the distinctive flavour of pistachio. It paired off rather well with the aromatic coffee

I had a Chocolate Chips Latte (SGD$5.80) that was prettily decorated, as is the trend these days. The coffee contained strong hints of berries and a little sour overture, but was sweetened beautifully by the chocolate cookies.

The service was good and there was free wi-fi for all, making it a perfect chillout or work cafe. What's best is that they currently have this "2nd cup at 50%" promotion! So, say, if I finish my Chocolate Chips Latte and wish to try their Affogato, I bring my empty cup back to the counter, pay SGD$3.70, and get to enjoy another delicious cup of hot beverage.

What are you waiting for? :)
