\"hydeI have the good fortune to meet two of my favorite instagrammers, @zippyzipeng<\/a> (left) and @boywithhaemoglobin<\/a>\u00a0(center), at Food & Socialikes Connect (FSC)<\/a>. Found out that they would be barista-ing for a day at a cafe. When I was at the cafe, I ran into\u00a0more igers who attended FSC! I’m beginning to believe that FSC is achieving its aim of bringing the social media community together.
\n<\/p>\n

\"hydeCoffee by in-house barista. Food styling in the above photo is completely done by the extremely talented and industrious visionary, @henrypehh<\/a>, whom I met\u00a0at FSC. Mr Fitness took the\u00a0photo.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"hydeEven when compared to the perfect latte art by the in-house barista, I was completely enamored with the coffee @boywithhaemoglobin<\/a>\u00a0brewed (pictured above), partly because it was his first time (pang chan<\/em>\u00a0a bit lah<\/em>), partly because perfection is over-rated.<\/p>\n

The Ugly Beautiful is the new black. Look at the anemic\u00a0Tom Hiddleston (he really needs a lot more sleep, 200 burgers, and a functioning bone morrow); Benedict Cumberbatch who looks like the result of inbreeding aristocracy; \u00a0and alien-looking Kim Soo Hyun. In the 80s and 90s,\u00a0these actors would never have been considered as goodlooking or given\u00a0roles of male leads. Now they are seen as hot.<\/p>\n

The moral of the 21st century belongs to what Xiao S advocates: be yourself, \u505a\u81ea\u5df1<\/a>\u00a0and others will like\/hate you. And who has time for\u00a0haters? Shake it off.<\/p>\n

Having fun while barista-ing was\u00a0more important. So what if the cup was\u00a0Ugly Beautiful? Besides, I believe in substance over style, and the flat white<\/strong> ($5.50) had a malt-like sweetness and an addictive burntness that both Mr Fitness and I liked.<\/p>\n

\"hyde<\/p>\n

\"hydeThe food was decent too. The chilli crab pasta<\/strong> ($16) could be sweeter and spicier, and there was a crab shell shrapnel\u00a0that might have\u00a0broken my molar–but at least we now know they use fresh crabs and, as a whole, it was a likable dish. The butterscotch popcorn pancakes<\/strong> ($14) were too thin, but who can resist the sweetness and saltiness of vanilla ice cream, banana, butterscotch and popcorn?<\/p>\n

\"hydeVerdict: If the cafe is smart enough to harness the power of social media, it is also smart enough to create a well-roundedness of food, service, price, and decor. A good cafe on all counts. No GST, no service charge. We paid $39 for two persons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
