Priding themselves in serving good local coffee, the friendly folks at "Socks & Pans" (the "socks" refers to the traditional fabric strainers used in making of "kopi") source their beans from Indonesia and Malaysia. Roasting is done in Singapore and blended on site. So every cup is full of aroma and flavour. In particular, I really like how smooth and rich the kopi-c was. The cardboard cup holders was a thoughtful touch as well.
The distinctive taste of this latte comes from Japanese soya sauce being mixed with caramel to create an unusual Asian-flavoured salty caramel. This is then blended with the medium roasted Supremo blend from Highlander Coffee. I find that the "shoyu" caramel rounds off the fine acidity of the coffee nicely without making it sweet, which is what other caramel flavours tend to do.
The only place people will order soup bar chor mee, porky soup, slippery noodles and pork balls and it's a must to add all that chili. But it wasn't spicy enough for me...
Added Ramen for $3.90.
Don't really understand the queue and the hype. Or am i missing anything? Vegetables seemed slightly undercooked, lots of onion. The redeeming point was the chicken.

Good soup base and many many "liao", good for supper!

Steak was done medium rare and enjoyed it very much. Meat was soft, tender and juicy. This usually comes with croquette but it's one of those occasions that it is not available. With the meat already sliced, this makes the almost perfect business lunch option.
