Bacha Coffee Official Boutique - Moroccan CAFE in SINGAPORE | Legendary Coffees Review

ABBEY: We were supposed to try Bacha Coffee (in Ion Orchard) Christmas 2020 but oh boy the queue is so long.

The next time we went, we got time to spare so queue it is.

The shop is Morrocan-inspired and you can see that in the all around like in coffee kettles, spoon, fork, knife, cup and saucers and decors. Felt like a royal sipping their hot drinks.

The coffee by itself has great flavor. Put a dollop or two of the vanilla bean cream and it will elevate to a new level. Add raw sugar or ground vanilla and you’ll be surprised. We also had their croissants. They are flaky outside and puffed inside. Perfect match for the coffee.

WILL: Cafe business here is Singapore is pretty vibrant! Cafes with different tricks to lure customers. The good thing is they have a levelled price point so you can dare to try them all. 

Bacha is an international cafe from Morocco ans was established in 1910. In their store you will see the fascinating story behind the brand.

The difference? You will feel like a royalty! Why? Except of the staff’s uniform and royal blue/gold paint their service is exceptional. Staffs are so attentive and really do concern if you need anything.

Truly recommendable! Oh their coffee! Ahaha! It was served per golden pot and you can definitely taste the richness and body of the coffee. Yep! Not diluted by milk or water. Their coffee honey dip for croissants is not to be missed.

CARTIER SINGAPORE SURPRISED US WITH FREE GIFTS | BUYING OUR FIRST CARTIER LOVE JEWELRY

ABBEY: 

CARTIER LOVE RING - OUR STORY 

WILL: I am literally drooling whenever I am seeing someone wearing a Cartier LOVE ring. A pair of LOVE ring sums up the preliminary budget of our enitire wedding 10years ago. Haha! It is a star for me that time. Lovely to see but impossible to reach! 

We have talks of renewing our vows and I am firm that Cartier’s LOVE ring is perfect for the occasion (no negotiations) haha!
Since it is holiday season, Abbey wants to treat me with an earring. Unlike Abbey, I am new in purchasing a jewelry. Yes husband is more keen on this. Haha! Sent an email and received a confirmation but no one calls. I thought it is all okay but I am wrong.

The earring is not available not only in Cartier’s ION Orchard Branch but in Singapore itself. Whew! I am furious. Really! Anyways, we still purchased “the star” of that day which is the LOVE ring and Endrea advised us that we can get the free engraving when we are really sure on the size of the ring. Ahmmm, yep you can return the ring if the size doesn’t fit(terms and conditions applies).

We returned to the store after few weeks for the engraving and we were greeted by their manager(I think) with a smile and explains to us how thankful they are for lur feedback. She gave us two boxes of Cartier scented candles and of course we gladly accepted it. Haha!
Whenever we are at Cartier’s we always instantly felt that we are welcome and ready to serve you! Kudos to Endrea for doing a magnificent job in comforting in my time of anger. That is indeed an ultimate Customer Care she shown to me and my husband! 
Will definitely come back to Cartier!

GODIVA Chocolatier since 1926 - Hot Chocolate Drink in Singapore

ABBEY: I have this itch in me to try Godiva chocolate. Be it their chocolate, soft serve or drinks. And just the universe conspires, we “stumbled” upon their shop at Ion Orchard. I’m into coffee that time but hey the hot 85% dark chocolate drink called me. 

It is not that bitter or maybe I just got used to the taste as I’m chocolate with that much percentage. Not too sweet and creamy but thick. Next time I’ll try the soft serve or even buy their 100% arabica coffee beans for 46SGD.

WILL: Abbey loves chocolates..specially dark chocolate. Well, that made us to realize to explore different chocolatiers. One of those is GODIVA! Godiva originated from Belgium and almost 100 years in business. 

Last December, we indulged on their hot drinks offered at ION orchard. So what’s with it? You will definitely savour the luscious creamy chocolatey drink. I went for their Speculoos Hot Chocolate. Of course it is extra sweet and have the dinstict taste of biscoff cookies. It is indeed lovely. 

If you are up to a different kind of cafe, go ahead to Godiva and experience their well-known chocolates.

Tiffany & Co. Singapore ION Orchard Store Experience

ABBEY: I always wanted to give Wilma a ring from Tiffany & Co. Presenting your gift in that iconic tiffany blue box is worth it. But since she already got her second engagement ring, I bought her a pair of ear”ring”.

The ordering process is seamless and online. Their staff Michell really attended me well. She threw suggestions along the way and I made our purchase. She even arranged a personalized note and have the item delivered to our preferred store at Ion Orchard. The online service is superb and all went well.

Then came the collection day. We went to the shop and we told we were for item collection. The staff checked and a few seconds later our order is in front of us.

We prefer to collect at the store rather than delivery as we wanted the Tiffany experience. After it was given to us we feel it’s as if they wanted us to get out of the store as soon as we can. We were never given the courtesy to verify the item. It was even us who asked if we could check it on the couch. The pieces of jewelry is good and as what we’ve seen in the site. It is beautiful. But the shop in Ion Orchard (1st level)? No.

Tiffany & Co. Singapore ION Orchard Store Experience  (The White Box)

Tiffany & Co. Singapore ION Orchard Store Experience  

WILL: Abbey asked me and I received. 

Haha! I told him that I want earrings as a gift and yet he went extra mile giving me a Tiffany & Co jewelry. 

We reached Tiffany & Co ION branch and we were greeted by a man. Abbey ordered it online so it was well packed. The white box was immediately put in their iconic tiffany blue bag. Now my question is, “Is this really the Tiffany and Co?”. You may asked why? I didn’t feel any warm welcome from the store and as I said the white box was just handed to us. How do we know if the jewelry is there or if the item is correct? So I asked permission if I can sit at one of their chairs. While opening the box (it is really hard to open) the same man just handed us a bottled water. Not even asking if we need any help. (Nike customer care is better than him. OMG!) At that time there are only 3 clients including us so I am not sure why he care less on us. We went off and I am not sure if someone bid a goodbye to us. Tiffany and Co absolutely tarnished my expectations on them. 

Anyways, I am surprised how Abbey pulled off his surprise message. Thank you so much baby! Of course I will marry you again and again!

Will I come back? I don’t know? Abbey is the one buying pieces of jewelry  for me. Haha. But he saw my frustrations and he can compare the kindliness and care of local jewelry company than Tiffany & Co.

The Game Of Thrones Experience: Worlds Of Westeros - HBO Asia (Ion Orchard)

ABBEY: Winter is coming... Oh no, the sixth season of Game of Thrones will be airing April 26, 2016. And we're privileged that they conduct roadshow at Basement 4 of Ion Orchard Mall from April 2-7. 

It exhibits the storyboards, the sword replica of Ned Stark, the Walker and others. You can also have a virtual reality tour of the elevator of the wall. We're not able to see it as waiting time is almost two hours. A snap in green screen will have you posed with the dragon. 

But for me the most fun part is to have an opportunity to seat in the Iron Throne. Wow, it is great to be a king :)

WILL: The people now are going berserk because the wait will finally over! But HBO & Starhub heightens up the excitement further more by just putting up "Game of Thrones: World of Westeros" at Ion Orchard. 

We went there to checkout the iron throne but they exceed my expectation due they exhibit the actual swords used, storyboards, a 4D wall and a green screen for a photo-op for with Targaryen's dragon. 

Thanks to the sponsors. Can't wait to see the series this month! :)
