Oink Noona: Caffe Vergnano 1882, South Beach
"When you're happy like a fool, let it take you over."
The beauty of a Wednesday off is you only have to work for 2 days and then a holiday and then another 2 days and it's weekend, guys! Every Wednesday should be a holiday, no? Noona told this to her next-table colleague and this colleague announced it to the boss within split second. Noona kinda wonders if this colleague just loves to tease her or wants to put her career in jeopardy, really.
The last time Noona visited South Beach at Esplanade, she actually wanted to bring her friend to drink chocolate at Caffe Vergnano 1882 but the cafe was closed somehow. Weird since it was only 7PM-ish when we visited South Beach for the first time. Anyway, being a never-give-up kind of friend, Noona's friend now dragged Noona back to South Beach to re-visit Caffe Vergnano and this time, her perseverance paid off.
It seems that the speciality for Caffe Vergnano is the drink. The cafe has a variety of coffee and brewed coffee to choose from but Noona did not feel like having some caffeine dose back then.
So she immediately flipped the menu right into Chocoholic section. There are so many good-looking chocolate drinks here at Caffe Vergnano, Noona and her friend were kinda having some difficulties to decide which one to order.
If you are into desserts, Caffe Vergnano also has some sweet items to offers on its display case from muffins, to slices of cakes.
And even pastries like croissants and bagels. However, Noona do notice that the price-tag for these desserts seem to be on the high-end.
Here comes our order of Nocciolino (SGD 6) and Delizioso (SGD 6). Nocciolino is described as chocolate hazelnut latte while Delizioso is described as nutella latte. Both drinks taste a bit similar although Delizioso is more on the sweeter side compared to Nocciolino. Caffe Vergnano is a nice place to chill and chat over life with a good mate and chocolate is definitely one of the best chatting companion when you are chilling out with friends.
