Before I started working at Cecil Street, a friend who loves her coffee made mention of 6oz Espresso Bar located at Tokyo Marine building, 20 McCallum Street.
It was not until months later that I got to sample their cappuccino and latte, and I must say its a perfect blend of coffee with no acidic or bitter aftertaste. And it was another few more months later that I started trying out their sandwiches, at the encouragement of a colleague. Their sandwiches are a little pricey for me starting from around $7, especially when you can have a meal at the nearby Amoy Street Food Centre at $4. However, with Amoy Street Food Centre being closed for renovations recently, many of us have no choice but to sample new foods.
I must say I have tried 3 different sandwiches since at the 6oz Espresso Bar, and loving it just because their breads are unique and crusty, with a generous topping of fresh ingredients ranging from Cajun Chicken, Smoked Duck, and Tuna. They have a lunch special of sandwich + coffee at $11, of which has become the average price for Lunch Specials around Raffles Place/ Tanjong Pagar area. As it is located right under Tokyo Marine building, its tiny, alfresco seating is somewhat cozy, and a respite from the bustling crowds at Raffles Place.
