Chill in a Courtyard at Casie and Mum's

The Lions were craving for something sweet when they received a phone call from their friends Mr HammocK and Ms JellY asking them out for tea. What luck! They met at Casie and Mum's nestled at the lovely courtyard of Albert Court Village Hotel.

Take me to Casie and Mum's!
Colonial English vibe.
Have fun admiring ornate Straits Chinese carvings
and architectural features in the area.
Atmospheric al fresco dining in the courtyard 
amidst the lourved windows of conservation pre-war shophouses.
Albert Court has changed quite a fair bit since the Lions last came here. A couple of shops have changed hands and a few new dining places and watering holes have popped up. But the sweet languid air still remains. The Lions wasted no time in settling down at Casie and Mum's to satisfy their sweet tooth and relax in good company.


Highly affectionate fork.




Casie and Mum's specialises in homemade cakes and muffins. In fact, when the Lions were there, Casie was in a rather harried state (I'm busy baking!), running back and forth to man the ovens and attend to hungry patrons. Casie and Mum's has limited but cosy seating inside the cafe (thank heavens aircon!) but of course the best seats are outside!

Are all these for me??
 

Tangy Apple Cake with Root Beer Float
The apple cake was perfect with a decent amount of sweet apple slices inside still deliciously crunchy.


Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese
Cute Cute liked this as it has lots of nuts inside and you can see the carrots strips. Rather heavy and filling, the cake is best shared among friends. Cuchi found it a litte dry though and the coffee was average. She thought that it would be fabulous if the cafe decide to introduce those cute little three-tiered English tea-time sets with good scones and cucumber sandwiches on the side. It would definitely go really well with the whole vibe of the place.

Despite the rather limited menu, the lions would recommend this place just for the ambience alone.
