Last evening, I visited by The Art House. This very building used to be the former Parliament House.
Built in the year 1827, this building was designed as a private residence for a merchant by the name of John Maxwell. Upon its completion, the building was instead leased to the government to be used as a Court of Law. Please check this URL to find out more about the history of building: http://www.theartshouse.com.sg/history.html
There is a relatively peaceful cafe located within the premises of The Art House. It has a pretty nice ambience. The Earshot Cafe - Singapore Books, Music, Film is not just a cafe, it is also a unique shop that showcases Singapore books, films and music. If anyone would like to search for Singapore works, this is one of the places that one must visit.
Last evening when I was there, I got myself a mudpie ice-cream and spent some time at the cafe. A pity that it was not playing any music then. That would have made the experience perfect.
The address:
The Arts House
1 Old Parliament Lane
Singapore 179429

SA: For that you would have to visit Singapore *winks*, unless you won't mind virtual tours via reading my blog.
