Epilog: cafe in a bookshop

Curious little cafe...inside the bookshop Prologue in Ion...aptly called Epilog.

Interesting tucked in a corner, bright, airy. Very nice and relaxed environment to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee or lunch.

I dropped by for lunch, craving for some laksa

The laksa proved quite superb. A little small in the serving size. But the soup was magnificent in colour, and the beautiful fragrance hits the nose almost as the dish was being served. The soup had ground dried prawns within. Very nice.

Two large, succulent, and fresh prawns, rather generous fishcakes and taupok. Quite nice laksa. Though not as good as the one by Laksania, this one satisfies quite nicely as well.

The laksa set costs S$6.50, and comes with a pot of tea, which on its own is listed on the menu at S$6.00. I elected a Lavender Earl Gray...quite a beautiful brew...clear, clean on the palate. Wonderful fragrance. The pot serves perhaps 2.5 full cups. Nice.

Recommended. I understand they have an outlet in Orchard Central as well.
