To find out that Forty Hands has arrived at East Coast Road, also known as the Katong neighborhood, is to realize that the cafe scene is finally taking shape in this area. I couldn't be more glad to see cafes pop up here, as that would mean that the Easterners do not need to travel all the way to the city for brunch and a good cup of coffee.
The cafe prides itself in having overpriced coffee and food, and yes it does gear towards the pricey end, however, Forty Hands must have been one of the earlier cafes to start the coffee culture scene in Singapore, that maybe you won't mind just as much. Afterall, it is about good food and coffee!
I particularly like the cafe design, it feels much cleaner than the one located at Tiong Bahru, a spot that I would stay a little longer to enjoy the old-school ambience.
Forty Hands brew is always a little on the acidic end, but you know it is a good brew, and has such lovely thick microfoam that you get to enjoy the latte art a little longer. This time I tried the 40 Hands Falafel, which is something different from the usual brunch cafe fare. It consists pita bread with chickpea falafel and lettuce, very refreshing indeed.
It looks like this is one cafe that I would return often on a weekend just to chill out and enjoy a good cuppa.
