you should try the fishball noodles round the corner at a traditional coffee shop nearby. it only serve fishball noodle as the only staple food. it’s really good, there’s alot of hidden jems around that area

I didn’t like both my experience at Forty Hands. I find the deliberate mix of those retro styled plates and utensils against the contemporary decor a bit been-there-done-that and it falls quite flat in terms of the coffee and the cakes. The staff’s recommended Carrot Cake/Banana Cake both came off dry and crumbly while the ice coffee tastes like Nesquik. My partner had the regular brew and it really isnt something to shout about either. I think the place is over-rated and the price, quite expensive for that kinda standard.

Well I do agree with ladyironchef that the food is average. What’s up with the tau sar baos? I’m not impressed. I’d rather buy them at the neighbourhood coffee shops.

The place is bit too stuffy although it does have a nice cosy ambience. The coffee is also one of the best in Sg.

The sandwiches are pretty good but i must say the prices of the iced mocha and iced coffee baffles me as they are $1.50 more than the hot version. Ice must be made from evian =D~

Thanks for this review. I have been curious about Forty Hands for a while, mainly due to its unique location in a very charming neighbourhood. Was expecting a quiet ambience, although from your pictures it looks like a lively and bustling coffee joint.

One thing that I have heard rave reviews about is one of their pastries… with red bean filling IIRC. It should go well with coffee.

If I’m not wrong, Books Actually is still collecting donations to help Bob the famous Tiong Bahru cat. Feline lovers may wanna pop by.
