Cappadocia Cafe @ Singapore - A Place for Nice Mediterranean Food


A week after I left my previous company, we arranged a dinner which supposed to be my farewell dinner with the ASEAN Team based in Singapore but apparently they don't want to treat this as the farewell dinner but they treat this as "Welcome to Singapore" dinner. A good friend of mine, Wati, arranged a dinner at this restaurant named Cappadocia which is located at Selegie Centre along Selegie Road. I took a bus and alighted at Selegie Centre stop (07021). It took me 5 mins to finally found the place as I didnt know that the restaurant is actually by the street and not inside the building. It's just in the corner of the Selegie Road before you turning left to Mackenzie Road where the Rex Cinema is located at. I passed by this restaurant few times until the security guard asked me about what I am looking for and the restaurant is actually just in front of me.

While waiting for my friends to arrive, I asked friendly Chef Ismet Ondek about what's favorite menu there and he mentioned some of them. After read through the menu, I decided to order Shish Kebab. They have the option of Chicken, Beef and Lamb Shish Kebab. The price for Beef and Lamb is SGD 18.90 and for Chicken is SGD 16.90. So I ordered the Beef Shish Kebab. It's served with pilaf rice and salad. The beef is so tender, they rice is so fragrant and the salad is so refreshing! It is very nice! And the portion is big!

Beef Shish Kebab for SGD 18.90

After my friends arrived, we ordered some more food like Humus, some more Shish Kebab, Beef Mousakka, and Doner Kebab Delight. Unfortunately I forgot to take the pictures of the Beef Mousakka and Doner Kebab Delight. :( But overall food are very nice! I will definitely come back and take more pictures! They open from 11am to 11pm on Monday to Thursday and from 11am to midnight on Friday to Sunday.

Humus for SGD 8.90

PS : They are listed as Singapore Halal Food but you may want to double confirm with them.

Never Goodbye, It's See You Later!

 
After more than 4 years working in my previous company, it was very very hard for me to face my last day. But decision has been made and I have to accept the fact that 27th September 2013 was my last working day at that company. It was really not an easy day for me. There is a to-do-list on my last day like return the Thinkpad (together with LAN Cable and Kensington Lock), return the key, return the badge, etc. I almost can not make it to do all by 5pm but lucky me I managed to do that. After that, it's time for me to say goodbye to all of my friends... The friends who always be the reason why I went to office (else I will just working from home), make me smile, sometimes make me angry and sad, always there to listen to my jokes and stories, and many more... 

Not only friends, it was also very difficult for me to say goodbye to my (ex) managers. I have traveled a long journey under their guidance. It's been an honour working with them... They are not only my boss but they are also my mentors, coach, and friends! They are the leaders whom I always look up to!
 
Each one of them really have made my life in that company WONDERFUL! And all of them contributed to making me who I am today. I learned a lot for you all! I will miss each one of you... (In fact I miss you all now already!) And I appreciate all the support and help you have provided me. 
 
THANK YOU!


Farewell is said to those colleagues who permanently say goodbye. But I am sure we will keep meeting. Once a colleague, but always a friend!
