Cafe-hopped: The 7th Cylinder
Just after our brunch at Victor Kitchen, we went around exploring Kampong Glam/ Haji Lane once again and realised there are new hidden cafes found in the street of Arab quarter.
What actually caught our eyes is this cafe situated at 1 Jalan Pisang, the 7th Cylinder. The 7th Cylinder is a great stop-by location especially for bikers who have a thing for the retro and vintage vibe! The entire cafe is set to a retro biker theme with a wall lined with helmets and on the opposite end hangs a series of bike magazines.
Since Boyfriend rides a bike, the more reason why I want to bring him here to enjoy the atmosphere since he once praised Wheeler Yard for the beautiful bicycle theme. A bike cafe would add points for that.
As they opened at 12pm noon and we reached at 12.30pm therefore there weren't many people in their cafe- guess we were too early for the food. It seemed like we are their second customers from what we see.
Helmets are organised in a linearly manner and was told they it is out for sale. So biker could actually bring back their favourite helmet home. For the price wise, you may want to ask the person who is tendering the shop.
There's a range of different motorcycle magazines on bar table. Customers can have their Polaroids clipped here as well.
There's even a super vintage-looking bike in the café! Its like back to the 70's generation.
Cakes on the shelves and Im actually looking forward to their Rainbow Martini but that day, it wasn't display on the shelves or probably they didn't sell it on weekend. The only 2 choices they have are chocolate mousse and chocolate cherry.
The 3-inches macarons were so beautifully decorated and there are 5 different flavours ( Cheesy oreo/ Neapolitan/ Mango Passion/ Berry Surprise and Azuki Matcha). They also sell individual vibrant macarons too!
Extensive menu but both bf and I didnt go for their main dishes. We are here for their dessert and side dish, just some small little bites to fill our tummy.
Was thinking what to drink until I saw this Red velvet beverage. My thoughts was to MUST TRY! Many of us often see red velvet cake but its really special when they added red velvet drink on their menu.
Red velvet drink ($6.90)
What I love so much about this drink is that it tastes exactly like a red velvet cake, not just with a hint of flavor, but it actually tastes like a rich cake. In all, it is actually hot milk with red colouring topped up with whipped cream.
Side dish for the boyfriend and he ordered Onion Rings ($6+)
A normal plate of fried side dish, not to the extent for me to praise on. A large quantity will be a positive comment.
Apart from all the cool decorations and layout, i’m very much attracted to their desserts. 3 inches big macaroon. i got the Matcha Azuki Macaron ($7.90). The macaroon is tooooo sweet. It’s better to pair it with a pot of tea, to balance out the sweetness. The azuki taste like those paste within the mooncakes, thick and rich.
The staff are warm and friendly. The service is prompt. I like the feel of the cafe as it is pretty quiet, good for hanging out with friends. Calling all bikers and its enthusiasts to check out the cafe. I am pretty certain that the motorcycle enthusiasts will associate well with the cafe. I will be back for their main as promise by my boyfriend who got attracted on one of their food.
