I’m on Orchard Road in order to visit an Apple store, which is in this building, here:
Orchard Road is the ‘nice’ part of Singapore, which means the expensive, vaguely European part. I just had a not-very-good breakfast in the above-featured coffee shop — eggs and sausage and toast. In order to accommodate Hindus and Muslims alike, the ‘ground beef or pork’ role in the US is typically filled here by chicken. Which means British-style chicken & breadcrumb sausage. Squish.
In the pastry case in front of me:
• Orange muffin
• US style Cranberry muffin
• Cinnamon apple muffin
• Blueberry muffin
• My Mum’s Scones
• Double chocolate chip muffin
• Grandpa Mel’s tuna puff
And, also, this coffee house is playing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” over and over and over. I’m on the 12th rotation now. 20 minutes until the Apple store opens… and here it comes around again!
