\"the-western-co-singapore-review\"Edit: The Western Co stall at Foch Road coffeeshop has closed but they moved to 35 Tyrwhitt Road (T: +65 9655 4445) and changed into a cafe. <\/b><\/p>\n

Just 10 minutes\u2019 walk from Farrer Park MRT or\u00a0Lavender MRT, with the addition of The Western Co<\/strong>, Foch Road Kopitiam has become my favorite kopitiam in Singapore.<\/p>\n

The month-old stall is started by a young 23 year-old hawkerpreneur, Larissa Yang. She studied hospitality in Switzerland for two and a half years, and worked in France for a while. Her true passion, however, lies in food.<\/p>\n

I asked her, \u201cIs your family in the F&B business?\u201d<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cNo, my mother is a teacher!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"raclette-cheese-singapore\"Armed with only her passion and no experience in F&B, when she returned to Singapore, she opened a caf\u00e9, which was unfortunately killed by high rental fees. Still, she did not give up.<\/p>\n

Like that Star Wars <\/em>girl, the force is strong with Larissa. She returned to basics, asked herself what she liked, and came up with recipes for The Western Co by herself. At the stall, Shatec graduates help her maintain high standards of cooking.<\/p>\n

The Western Co has only a few ingredients but they are combined in interesting ways. While the menu is small, the quality is high. Frankly, I prefer a tight but excellent menu, to an extensive but bad menu.<\/p>\n
