Fika Sweden Cafe

I know this post is kinda lag, but I wanted to wait for Elaine to upload the pictures first and post it all together here.

So I met up with Elaine last Sunday after tuition in the morning. What we had in mind were to watch movie and go for cafe hunting in Bugis. But after looking at the movies available to watch, we decided to go for shopping instead.

Elaine initiated to walk around arab street to hunt for cafe, but before that, we bought Hokkaido ice cream to help us deal with the heat when walking to Arab Street.


After walking for some time, about half an hour or so, we settled in this cafe.
Fika Swedish Cafe & Bistro

The interior is simple and comfortable. It's painted white, so it makes the place looks clean and neat.


I ordered this soft drink in the menu called "Trocadero". It was written in the menu that it's a popular soft drink in Sweden. It's a fusion of apple and orange soda and it's quite nice, but expensive cos it's imported.
 Iced latte ordered by Elaine.

TAADAA our main courses
 Elaine's Crayfish Spaghetti
My Grill Chicken

They made great sauces and it makes the food tastes great too. But it's not cheap. The bill amounted to $60 over.

After the meal, we went shopping at Haji Lane, which is just 1 street away.


Picture taking time before we started on a shopping spree.

I bought a top and a bag from one of the shops and spent about $60+. Elaine also spent as much as me on 2 tops. After spending close to $100 on food and shopping, we decided not to walk into shops anymore to stop ourselves from spending again.

As the weather was still very hot, we walked to Bugis+ and chill at Berry Lite to enjoy a cup of yoghurt.

 We went to the rooftop after that for another photo taking session


And that marked the end of our cafe hunting trip.

This was the first time I went for cafe hunting with Elaine. It's fun because you don't know what to expect and our luck were quite good because we managed to chance upon a Swedish cafe, which is considered rare in Singapore. You don't see a Swedish cafe just anywhere round the corner. I believe there will be more of such trip coming up :)
