Review: Torte @ Waterloo Street & Adoption Drive

Torte @ Waterloo Street

The workweek can sometimes get extremely grueling for us. To tide ourselves through, many of us have a reflex response or a quick fix solution – some go for massages or engage in some online retail therapy. For me, it is a weekly patronage to Torte @ Waterloo Street.

Torte remains to be one of my favourite cafes to visit during during a school week. Located just a 5 minute walk from Singapore Management University, it is my little hidden oasis in the heart of a bustling city.

Spotlight: Charity Weekend Purrzaar – Blessing Home Fund-raiser

If you love all things pussy–read: cats–or just a bit of charity, why not head down to the cat-themed Charity Weekend Purrzaar flea market held at Stacked Dim Sum Bar this weekend, February 11-12? Expect quirky and unique, hand-crafted cat-related merchandise and crafts by local artists, from tote bags and notebooks to gorgeous cat jewellery and key rings!

Brought to you by the organisers behind the popular Cats of The World photo exhibition, this weekend ‘purrzaar’ will be raising money for Blessing Home, a privately-run cattery, which has to vacate its current premises and is in need of funds to relocate. (Visit these links: http://blessinghomeshelter.blogspot.com/ http://blessinghomeshelter.org/ for more information.)

Besides shopping for feline memorabilia, visitors can also contribute while filling your tummy. Stacked will be donating 50% of the proceeds from its Chilli Crab Pau sales, while Smitten Coffee & Tea Bar, just a few steps away, is donating 15% of their F&B proceeds on both days of the purrzaar to Blessing Home cattery.
