If you know of areas with a bunch of interesting old shophouses of Singapore, please tell me in the comments below!

With the recommendation from my friends and viewing pics of these cafe on instagram, I just have to add it into the list of cafe that i want to visit. It was really an impromptu decision, as my initial plan was to visit the cafe on a weekend afternoon, but since both my friend and I was thinking hard of a place for dinner, we decided to have it there.

Eight Cafe & Bar is located along Bukit…
