These days, we’re all about going to brunch on the weekends. I think that’s a sign of middle age. Haha. We got a good tip from Diovie about Chye Seng Huat Hardware Shop that was converted into a cafe, so  we tried it this past weekend.

You’d probably miss this little shop if you don’t look closely, it’s located in the Lavender Street vicinity. I was reminded of Banawe Street in QC when we were in that area, we passed by quite a few car parts stores and repair shops.

Ambiance was good, and the smell of coffee was all over the place. I liked their caesar salad, and would have wanted to try JP’s meal, but these days, I have a lot of foods i can’t eat. haha.

Afterwards, we walked around the sidestreets a little bit, and visited the Tibetan temple a couple of meters from the restaurant.

JP turned the Mani Wheel, he was supposed to do three turns, but I think he got dizzy at the first one, so he didn’t complete it.

I really thought the Dalai Lama was sitting inside, then it turned out, it was a life-sized standee.
