| Cafe Crema |
Definition of Cafe Crema (Caffè
crema) was
first coined by Gaggia in 1948 to describe the light brown foam on
espresso. (source from wikipedia). Also known as the old name of
espresso, which become out of favour.

| The Coffee Bean Education |
Cafe Crema in Singapore,
is a Cafe that served handcrafted coffee & sandwiches. In line
with the current trend of 3rd wave coffee movement in
Singapore, Cafe Crema source it beans from the local roaster
Highlander. This information does not come voluntarily, but
continuous gentle probing and tongue twisting by Chubby Botak Koala,
finally able to 'fish' it out.

Taking a break from my
first shift guiding our guests through Cloud Forest, I decided that I
need a cuppa. It seems the name and greenish background of this Cafe
just attract me. I decided to order a latte ($6) and Chocolate
Croissant.

| The Menu |
The décor of this place
is very au natural. Surrounded by the lavish greenery of Gardens by
The Bay, cool air-conditioning and some relaxing couch, this is a
definitely the place to take a break and enjoy the cuppa. I have to
compliment Cafe Crema on their effort in providing the information
from the origin of their coffee beans to the black liquid gold full
of caffeine in the cup. Do check out their website for more
information on their coffee beans.

| The View from where I sat |
The latte presented with
a four layer of Rosetta latte art. First sip, it has a beautiful
consistent creamy texture to it. I am not a coffee expert, but I
always enjoy the well balance roast from Highlander. What a good way
to perk me up. Although the coffee here is good, it is missing the
OMPH factor, in comparison to other Cafe that use the same bean.

The chocolate croissant
is just average. It has a good thin buttery layers to it, but the
central part was slightly soggy.
 |
| Chocolate Croissant |
Service is average, but
you probably need to be on self service type. They deliver the coffee
and the croissant, but you need to get you own cutlery, serviette,
etc.
Overall, this is
definitely a good place to recharge before / after your visit to
Gardens By The Bay. On top of the handcrafted coffee, they also serve
breakfast, soup & salad, sandwich and other lunch menu (check out
their website for the menu). I even see some teenagers using this
place to hang out and study. Thanks for serving the good coffee guys.
Cheers!!
