回家的感觉 @ Katasumi Koohii 一隅珈琲

Had my afternoon tea at Katasumi Koohii (一隅珈琲) situated within Grassroots Book Room (草根书室) since returning from my solo Tokyo trip. 
Going to Katasumi Koohii cafe gave me 回家的感觉. I found out by accident a while back that the owners are Taiwanese too, like my mother. No wonder. :) 
The cafe doesn't have an expansive menu but it didn't matter to me. The owners' 诚意 more than make up for the menu. I enjoyed the pairing of my Red Ruby black tea with the Salted Caramel roll cake which is soft, fragrant and not overly sweet. I enjoyed the quiet ambience of the cafe which is perfect for doing a bit of reading and/or doing a bit of work.

Tea & Tart

Milk tea and Pomegranate tart

Tea, Cats and Flowers

We were invited for afternoon tea by my neighbour, Vanessa where we enjoyed delicious tea, interacted with her cats and admired the lovely blooms. 

Tea, Chat & Cats

We have been invited to my good friend and neighbour's place for afternoon tea. As usual, the chocolate cakes, cheese scones and hot cross buns served at tea were all hand-made and really delicious. :) We chatted while having tea. One of the cats, Mau wandered into the sitting area. 
Today, I pick him up onto my laps and gave him a good sayang. :)

Afternoon Tea cum Cat Therapy

Always happy to be invited by my neighbour, Vanessa for afternoon tea. Not just because her afternoon tea is delicious, it is also cat therapy time for me. :) We had Queen's cake, cheese scones and almond biscuits and of course, tea. :) 
Part of the afternoon tea ritual for me is spending some time with the cats and taking photos of them. :) 

Tea & Cats (in the Garden)

Juliane and I went to our neighbour's place for afternoon tea. Unfortunately Marieann had to take a rain check as she was not well. As usual, the afternoon tea was sumptuous and the company (with her cats too) was great! :) We always enjoy our tea and our cat therapy at my neighbour's place. :)

Mau tried to invite himself to tea lol

Tea and Cats

My neighbour, Vanessa invited my girls and I over for tea at her place on Deepavali. Only Marieann and I went as Juliane had a play date with her classmates. We had home-made plain scones with cream and strawberry jam, apple tea cake, and herb scones! Yummy! We had a lovely time chatting over tea. Marieann had a wonderful time playing with Aunty Vanessa's three cats. 

Actually we were having such a great time that we stayed for dinner as well lol. :)
