PPP Coffee Funan Mall

ABBEY: We were in a quest to go to Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee but it is out of our way. So we go to the apprentice; PPP Coffee at Funan.
I’m craving for cold brew but all their batches are sold out.
So before ordering we check their beans to used in my own cold brew. Their staff is really helpful explaining to us and advising us what beans we should pick. And our beans is Throwback blend.

We order their version of hot drink and it was smooth and no bitter and funky aftertaste.

The same goes with my homemade cold brew. This is no ordinary cafe. The baristas know their craft.

PPP Coffee Funan Mall - Throwback Coffee


WILL: After our InterContinental Staycation, we headed to Funan Mall for our lunch. We filled our tummy with Little Caesar’s Pizza and went to PPP Coffee to buy beans. 

Before buying the beans, Abbey ordered Throwback Cappuccino for two. It is not your typical lattes you have been buying, it has an extra creaminess and kick of the espresso. You will know that their beans were totally handcrafted and not mass produced. 

Will be one of the cafes that truly stands out. Of course! Totally recommendable!

Marina Barrage's Sustainable Singapore Gallery

ABBEY: We’ve been in Marina Barrage Tour multiple times as we want our family to know how water is being valued here in Singapore. But it was only the two of us during our last visit to the Sustainable Singapore Gallery. Their dam simulation is already outside the gallery. Every visit is always a new learning. And we can see that Singapore keeps on improving and setting the bar higher. The guided tour will explain to you their problem with water and how they combat the hurdle. Sacrifice and discipline play a key role to make solution happen and to sustain it.

Due to pandemic the interactive displays are off limits but our tour guide put a lot of effort to help us understand the programs towards water.

WILL: Forgot that Marina Barrage renovated their gallery few years back. And upon thinking what are the things we can do or visit in Singapore, Sustainable Gallery popped out of my mind.  The old gallery is not boring BUT the new Sustainable Singapore Gallery emphasised not the problems of global warming but the layout plans for the SOLUTIONS. 

Singapore has difficulty in acquiring a good quality water. Now, Singapore has a tap water suitable for drinking (based on WHO standards). Singapore is lacking of water supplies. Now it has 17 reservoirs! Maybe water source is not enough in the future? There are 2 working desalination (sea water to fresh water) plants and 5 NEWater (recycled water) facilities. 

Rubbish? Heat? Noise pollution? Everything was tackled in the gallery! Please visit them, it is FREE! A good way to learn more about the initiatives of Singapore Government of the country.

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.
