Asylum Coffeehouse

Buah keluak is a common ingredient found in Nonya recipes. But over at Asylum Coffeehouse, the flavours of the poisonous nut comes reimagined into a novel, aromatic blend that is used to brew up cups of joe instead. 

Enter its new second-floor pop-up space on Serangoon Road, and sip on espresso-based drinks made using the house-special four-bean Keluak blend. Its full-bodied notes of nuttiness and chocolate are best brought out in a latte or mocha to yield a rich, bold cuppa. For fruitier notes, the rotating selection of pour-overs might feature the floral Colombia and Brazil with hints of caramel and passionfruit.
