Tea break at Spinelli

Tea break at Spinelli

9:47 PM food , 16 Comments
Well, I always loves to have tea breaks daily during work and usually go to somewhere nearby the office. And, I treat  these breaks to refresh the mind , especially with a cup of java and a small meal to energised the body and mind. I actually felt tea breaks are good as it makes you more productive for the last quarter of the working day, especially if you have a long evening ahead. And, usually I spent around S$2 on it, except this day!



I was at Spinelli and thought of having some nice great coffee on a friday afternoon before knocking off for the weekend. Feeling a bit hungry, I decided to check out their Bacon sandwich. It looks like focacia.
 
It was hot , just fresh from the oven, thus I badly needed the fork and knife. The sandwich doesn't look healthy where lots of melted cheese covered the fried and crispy bacon. Ok, it tasted good, thanks to the salty cheese taste and the crunchy bacon. However, I'm sure I put on a lot of calories with this so called ' light meal'. :)
 
And, again, I needed to mentioned their Americano coffee here. It was 'gau' (thick) and aromatic. The coffee really looks good when served!! However, it seems too strong for me though I love drinking coffee as I felt palpitations later ...hahaha... I drank lots of water after that to wear off the effect!
 
And, the meal with the coffee cost me around S$9.50, far cry from my usual less than S$2 tea break. :P

    wow....love the bacon and cheese in it..i agree with you, a light tea can be very energizing as i recently found out and you are likely to stay focus instead of thinking of the next meal when your stomach growls haahhaha.....
