Cool place to chill out

THOSE looking for a place to kick back after an arduous day at work need not look further than the Church Street Cafe.

Located along Church Street, the cafe is the perfect getaway spot for many seeking a reprieve after a stressful day at work despite being nestled in the buzzing heart of the inner city.

The cafe, operating since 2004, serves up a mouth-watering array of western dishes such as Santa Fe Enchiladas and Dragon Wings.

The enchiladas is sure to satisfy the appetite of Tex-Mex cuisine lovers with its spiciness, which comes from the peppers used. The spiciness complements the chicken meat chunks meant to be wrapped in a flour tortilla.

Mouth-watering: (clockwise from front) Mushroom Grill Chicken, Santa Fe Enchiladas, Snow Beer and Dragon Wing.

Meanwhile, for those who prefer to sink their teeth into a turkey wing, they can go for the Dragon Wings.

Despite being notoriously known for its dry meat, the turkey wing, as big or even bigger than a human palm, is surprisingly tender. Cooked to perfection and coated in a smoky barbeque sauce, the turkey wing is the perfect dish to be eaten with the cafe’s signature beverage, the Snow Beer.

The Snow Beer is almost similar to an ice-blended beer. The beer and glass are frozen beforehand to give it that refreshing sensation as it runs down the customer’s gullet.

According to cafe owner Yeap Teik Chuan, his place is the only place that sells Snow Beer.

“Many people have tried it at home but failed because the temperature has to be just right to freeze the beer. One has to be creative to survive in the food and beverage business.”

The walls of the outlet are plastered with album covers of musicians like The Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley as Yeap had started the outlet with beer and ‘Rock n Roll’ in mind.

“I will be the one choosing the music and I will not allow any of my staff to tamper with the playlist featuring my favourite bands like Guns N’ Roses, Queen and The Beatles.

Every Wednesday, the cafe will have Dart Game Night where customers can come in and play with each other. The outlet is also equipped with a pool table.

The prices here are reasonable and the service, ambience and cleanliness are second to none, and this makes customers want to come back for more! Moreover, there will also be a new menu soon.

In addition to that, the outlet also has a private room equipped with musical instruments like guitars and drum sets for a jamming session or a private party which can accommodate up to 20 people.

Church Street Cafe (04-2639422) is open from noon to 3am on weekdays and 5pm to 3am on weekends and public holidays.
