Went to Coduroy Cafe at Vivo today and it was real nice! The place is decorated like one of those Old English cafes with victorian chairs and dark brown and white tiled floors...Not somewhat unlike the candy store i used to imagine in Roald Dahl's book "Boy"...Though much cleaner and more atas! There's definitely a quaint old-school kind of charm about the place and it is exactly this ambience that 1st attracted me to it in the 1st place...Too bad i din get to eat there for my birthday last year though...So this visit was kind of like a past wish fulfilled...
What's more, got to sit by the window that overlooks the part of the sea? river? that separates sing. from sent. The place IS however, quite ex...$19 for fish and chips and $8.50 for milkshakes...So i had to think for quite a while before deciding on what to eat...This is the part i hate about being a student or on holiday w/o a job...You cant spend as freely or unthinkingly and must deliberate and ponder over every purchase...Finally, i decided on one of their "milk infusion" drinks which is like a milkshake but only less sweet and thick and a chocolate muffin that was covered in freshly melted chocolate...It was a great combi cos the former din make it overly sweet and rich but wasnt too bland that it seemed like you were just drinking plain milk...Btw, "milk infusion" is supposed to be some fruit and tea blended with milk but you can't realli taste the tea though...I tried the banana one and it worked well with the choco muff. That came up to $10.
So for a good 1 and a half hours, i just lazed on the red cushioned chair, looking out at the sea? river?, sipping my milk infusion drink and indulging in the rich choco muffin...Yep! This is the absolute life! And it was great that it wasnt crowded too...It just feels good to have "me" time and to know that you're being good to urself I guess...And after all those years of rushing essay deadlines, group projects and cramming for exams, I DEFINITELY DESERVE IT!
