In our never-ending rush to meet homework/assignment/project deadlines, most of us Singaporean students understand the dire need to find conducive spaces to study at.
Unfortunately, for some of us, home just isn’t that place to get any work done.
But where do we go when it’s late at night and you have to chiong an assignment or mug for an upcoming exam? And what about food??
Where can we go to that we can study at AND have something to munch on at the same time? My fellow mugging chiongsters, here is the list of makan cafes for you to seek refuge at that makes great studying spots. You’re welcome.
1. The Tea Party Cafe
This two-storey cafe, known for its Roasted Duck Pizza, serves extremely affordable good food. Plus, if you order a main dish, you’ll get $1 off any dessert of your choice!
On the first floor, you can lounge on cushy sofas and low tables, but upstairs, there’s an abundance of tables for you chiongsters to mug at.
No need to worry about finding enough seats. At the Tea Party Cafe, there’s plenty of room for every chiongster.
