Heirloom & Caramel @ Shaw Towers

 After lunch on a Friday at Raffles City,  Miss Y and I decided to go in search of desserts, and we thought of this place because a) Miss Y has always wanted to try this, b) She missed her chance to try because she was on exchange when Miss M and Miss X brought me here to celebrate my birthday 2 years ago and c) It has indeed been 2 years since I dined here.

Caramel Cafe is a quirky cafe located at Shaw Towers (where another of my favourite eatery is). Eclectic furniture? Check. Vintage items for sale? Check. Cosy feeling? Check. Affordable pricing? Check. Main courses and desserts/drinks? Check. There, just my kind of place :)

 
The furniture looks like they're second-hand and hand-painted again. I like
how everything doesn't look like a set together, but fits well with one another
anyway. There's harmony in the mismatch.

 
Take a look at their menu! Their range of pastas, though not wide, should be 
able to please, and I like their selection of coffees, hot teas and cold drinks. 

 
Vintage items for sale! How nice. 





 
Our hot pomelo tea came in this dainty, pretty tea set. 
I'm a sucker for "packaging" like this :)

 
Bread pudding with ice cream. 

 I love the colours! 

Colourful, retro, whimsical decor, cosy ambience perfect for an afternoon tea and chat with your friends - what's not to like about this place? They serve pastas, salads, sandwiches, and cupcakes as well. Haven't tried their mains before, shall go back there one day to have a meal. For the 2 times that I was there, we ordered Vita-Plum, which is an interesting and refreshing mix of Vitagen and plum juice. Worth a try!


How much was spent: $9 per pax
Would I go back again? Definitely!
