Finally, a place for the avid reader to kick back and enjoy a book with some quality food and drink.

I discovered book cafe by sheer chance. It's location isn't optimum - tucked behind a construction barrier, next to a row of deserted shophouses and office buildings and right at the near end of a clubbing district. 

But inside, it is just quaint. hidden away from the bustle of the city but near enough to do errands. there are shelves of books, periodicals and magazines for any type of reader and sofas for you to lean back in. 

I liken it to going over to a friend's place to read a fine book.

The food is right up my alley. I tried the salmon noodle soup which is basically your fish soup with milk but this time they use fresh pieces of battered salmon.

The salmon is soft and fresh with just the right texture - flaky but still holding together. If you're not a fan of the fishy taste, then i wouldn't recommend this dish because it is a tad fishy.

The soup base is hearty but a little salty. If you're a savoury fan, then this will tickle your tastebuds. 

The salmon noodle soup is chocked full of veggies and ginger, which is a good mix of the good ol' hawker center yu pian mi fen and a the westernised noodle soup.

Wash everything down with a iced jasmine tea with lemon, just to get the salty out of the system. 

Those prices are a tad expensive, i do find it incredibly value for money. The staff are very attentive and friendly, and most of all, you don't feel pressure to gulp your food and leave. They invite you to sit as long as you like, browsing their range of reading materials.
