My last destination of the day is Cafe Oriole @ Somerset Road. This place is run by Keith Loh (the owner) and John Ting (head barista). John Ting is the current Singapore champion while Keith Loh is the runner-up. Both are dedicated in serving quality coffee by dedicated, professional and properly-trained baristas.

I was really hungry by this time after Papa Palheta and this main course of Bangers and mash (S$15) definitely did not disappoint.

Keith pulled me this shot. Look at the thick, reddish, tiger-like stripes crema. Very intense shot, great complexity with a bitter sweet chocolate finish after-taste in the end.

Cafe Oriole is not only a coffee bar but also a real bar selling cocktails.

Ordered another Oriole special, a Chilli Mocca coffee. This drink is a combination of chilli juice, chocolate sauce, a shot of ristretto and topped up with steamed milk. Also, lovely latte art on top by Keith Loh.

Very excited meeting John Ting, the current Singapore barista champion after I knew him from the Moses Chan’s coffee programme. Chatted with him briefly and he was really friendly in sharing his coffee knowledge with me.
