Sokafe, the new eatery on Street 294, is far less a coffee shop and much more a humble monument to modern-day culinary globalisation. From the outside, the place looks like a gleaming first-world food shop, one that would sit comfortably in Aeon Mall or any other similar shopping district. The menu is diverse, with breakfast, coffees, smoothies, burgers, pastas and local dishes. The English breakfast, with sausage and bacon, coffee and juice, sells for a mere $4.50; the local-style noodle soup with beef just $2.95. The Wi-Fi is quick, the service sharpish, and the air-con gloriously indulgent. Sokafe, #2 Street 294.
