Chock Full of Beans

This was a totally random visit. J texted  me in the morning after Church and was like you busy? And so I was like - see you at 4.

We hadn't decided where we wanted to go yet. We thought we'll just decide when we met. So picked her up at 4pm and we chose Changi Village as the destination. She suggested Chock Full of Beans.

Cafe Front

Thank god the parking at Changi Village was not full. I think I would have cried if I had had to parallel park. Surprisingly,  the cafe was just beside the open air carpark. Awesome.

I had already had lunch - thanks to my Grandma insisting I eat her cooking 0_O. Plus it was 4.30pm ish so neither of us were that hungry. So drinks and a snack of sorts was what we were looking for.

The cafe is small and has a 'new kid on the block' charm about it. Not sure how long it has been around though. The interior has unfinished brickwork and timber work. The combination gives the space a 'warm' glow which is inviting and cosy.

Inside Chock Full of Beans

We were able to get bar seats as it was just the two of us. Unfortunately, the sun was in J's eyes and annoyed her a little. Hey, but it made her brown eyes stand out even more !

After a browse through the menu, J had her coffee (a latte) and I went for the Strawberry Banana Milkshake since I wasn't really in the chocolate mood. We also ordered a side of chicken wings. They had quite a few options. Maybe another time, when we're more hungry.

Their Menu

The downside to our experience at Chock Full of Beans was the waiting time. After we were seated, there was a couple that were seated beside us. They ordered after us but had their food served, finished, paid and left and we were still waiting. Hmmmm.

As J was thinking of checking on our order, I saw them bring out my drink. So we patiently waited a little while longer.

My Strawberry Banana Milkshake was different from what I expected. Maybe I was hoping for more strawberries in the drink - a more natural tasting drink - I don't know. What came was really pretty but tasted very artificial and sweet. I'm guessing, they must have used strawberry syrup or something. I probably would not have it again.

Strawberry Banana Milkshake

J's latte, came with some kind of Ultraman art on it ! Super cute ! We were both trying to figure out if it really was Ultraman or something else. Hahaha. The coffee was good. I took a sip. But still not a coffee drinker.

Ultraman Art ?

The chicken wings came after and they were amazing. They were grilled and not fried. Crispy skin and succulent flesh. As we bit into the chicken, there were clear juices oozing out - good sign. Really really yummy. A thumbs up for this.

Chicken Wings 

I wanted to have dessert but J was toying with the idea of visiting another place in Changi Village. So I jumped on that and skipped dessert.

Oh yeah - we were tired of waiting for our bill, so I went to the cash register to pay.

Two drinks and chicken wings cost us S$21.00+
