I happened to be in the area after dinner at Lau Pat Sat on a weekday and decided to try my luck at Jewel Coffee, not knowing if it was still open. Remembered this as the indie café The Straits Times Food Editor Tan Hsueh Yun tried her hand at making coffee and latte art. A brightly-lit red sign that reads "coffee" stood out against concrete floor, white walls and blackboards with scribbles of menu and schematic diagrams. Located at One Shenton, it is one of the independent coffee joints in the Central Business District. Could smell a faint aroma of roasted beans in my order of macchiato, which was full-bodied and bitter with a tinge of acidity. Loved that it came with double shots of espresso but not how its acidity was accentuated the more I stirred in the dollop of foam on top. And adding sugar did not help.
