Tian Kee & Co Review : Nostalgia

Happened to chance upon a review on this little cafe filled with old school touch.
What really attracted me was the food actually, and the ambience seemed nice too.
Tian Kee & Co used to be a 54-year old provision shop previously but now transformed into an artisan cafe which fitted right into our cafe scene in Singapore.
Therefore, you can see the simple yet nostalgic decor in the cafe.
It was rather accessible which I liked about traveling to a cafe.
Tian Kee & Co 's like a little hidden gem tucked away in the quiet part of the estate.
You will see this building from afar if you took the right route.
You can walk from the nearest Mountbatten Mrt Station, which is a 3-minute walk from Exit B or from Dakota Mrt Station,a 5-minute walk from Exit A (the route which I took).
And also, a 2-minute walk from the nearest bus stops, Bus 12/14/30/158/196 & 401.
How can we miss out the precious childhood ride which most of us took? 
(Well, at least I did. Hahaha)
And it still works! 
Saw a kid got onto the ride when we were about to leave.
Love the vintage cartoon decors.
How can we miss out the display of delights?
The choices are quite limited, but I was there for the Yuan Yang Cheesecake so I didn't spend too much time on choosing which one to have. Heh.
Beverage Menu.
There was quite a crowd on a Friday afternoon when we reached.
And almost everyone was seen whipping out their phones and cameras snapping photos of the cafe.
And finally, here is what we ordered.
Mister's Iced Mocha ($6.50) which was pretty good.
And for the adventurous me, SNAG ($5.50), which is actually espresso & rose syrup with steam fresh milk.
The other popular drink would be the 'Pink Lady', if you are looking for something without caffeine (less the espresso).
I guess it's alittle sweet for some tastebuds like my Mister's, but overall I think it's worth a try.
My highlight. 
Yuan Yang Cheesecake($6.50)!!!
The layers of espresso with Hong Kong style milk tea all combined in one.
Thumbs up for the innovative flavour, but other than that, I guess it could be more intense to bring out the uniqueness of the cheesecake.
The overly sinful Milo Dinosaur Cheesecake.
Look at that!
This is pretty awesome I must say.
I've posted this photo to my instagram and many have visited but couldn't grab a bite of this.
So this really depends on what Tian Kee & Co decides to bake for the day!
If you are looking for a simple place to have some desserts or a cuppa, this is not a bad choice to satisfy your craving!
More photos before leaving the place.
OHOHTEEDEE.
Stay foodie everyone! ^^
