I haven’t really been hibernating as much as I want to. Something MUST happen everyday to lure me out despite how ugly I look now.
Like yesterday, we had some business to settle at Waterloo in the afternoon. After which, my husband suggested heading to Prinsep Street for tea. There are a couple of interesting eateries there but guess where we ended up? Mr Bean’s Cafe & Wine Bar. Haha. Reminded me of the few fresh comments related to my very own Mr Bean.
We definitely weren’t aware about this cafe before. So this is very much a coincidence that I couldn’t resist taking pictures and blogging about it.
We were the only customers around and that was good because I could eat in peace without having to shield my face. We ordered a sampler platter consisting of prawn fritters, calamari, spring rolls, fried chicken wings and fish which was quite tasty and went well with our pot of earl gray tea.
The cafe is kind of rustic and it’s not too bad to hang out. Sort of idyllic for a nice quiet afternoon. Too bad I didn’t spot any Mr Bean, apart from my own. 
Sesame, so you are a tea person huh?
Mr Bean used to be my fav haunt when I was still schooling. Late in the evenings til midnight, it’s always very packed.

“Mr Bean at Mr Bean’s Cafe” - haha, that’s cute!
Wonder why they call themselves Mr Bean. Do they sell beancurd and stuff like that? The fried stuff looks good. Yum!

The food looks good (like those you get in American Chillis).. expensive? But if you can afford when you were still schooling (like what Domestic rat said), then I guess it’s not.

Woah, that’s a heavy duty tea you’ve described there, with lots of fried food! I’ve never heard of the place. In fact, I think Domestic Rat must be really young to have hung out there while at school, when the rest of us don’t even know of its existence!

Hsin, school means uni…Mr Bean cafe is quite ulu, I think, and prob not many ppl would know of it unless you often venture to that area.
Sesame, I’m also a tea person but more towards chamomile, jasmine and green tea.

Hey Mama Bok, I would say the price is about mid range. What you would expect from a cafe. We paid about $30 for the platter + a pot of tea, including service charge and GST.

Prinsep’s street’s very happening foodwise. Too bad I don’t live or work anywhere near there, or I’d be the size of a whale now
