Alchemist (Khong Guan Building)

If you are looking for solid coffee in an aesthetic environment, look no further as @alchemist.sg had done it right. They have repurposed the old Khong Guan factory as their cafe, giving it a good mix of both retro and modern vibes!

I ordered the Iced Latte ($7) and it was such an enjoyable cup. It was not too acidic, yet strong enough with deep hazelnut and chocolate notes. It had the perfect amount of milk for the strength of coffee. I loved that it was smooth and rich, perfectly for a long sip throughout the afternoon.

If I'm around the area, I'm definitely coming back to Alchemist for a good coffee break!

Gotten this pastry to go with my cup of mocha. And I must say the chocolate is definitely very creamy and sticky.

Fluffy danish with messy chocolate and hazelnut on the top. Just love the combination of flavour and texture.

Housed under the heritage industrial building at Tai Seng, surprisingly a very peaceful vibe on Sunday morning.

Here for a cup of warm mocha to begin my day.

One for $5. It is a pastry you won't want to miss when you visit Alchemist.
I recommend you to pair this with White or black as thia could well balance your palate with this rich and creamy chocolate.
The pastry is soft and freshly made.
The sweetness is just nice.

The Pistachio Raspberry Danish ($5.50) was pretty good. A pity that it wasn’t served warm, the buttery pastry was a tad chewy but had decent lamination. The sweetened raspberry jam was real tangy and tart which went surprisingly well with the caramelised exterior of the dough. The pistachio paste hidden in the center was fairly fragrant as well and the bits of nuts which kind of mixed in with the vibrant jam added some nice crunch.

Super normal only. Temperature just nice. Prefer PPP
