Ever since I took the step of seriously working from home, I haven’t really been able to get around and taste the new food in town. It was so bad that I was being laughed by my lame friend, Charles. But this time around, I’m pretty sure that I’m among the first fews to taste one of the best-est life in town. So as mentioned, me and DARL were invited over to siTigun at Nagore Place for their official opening yesterday evening, special thanks to the boss and boss-tress. :D
- The boss and boss-tress busying at the counter. Checkout the menu. DARL told me that if I am small enough I could ride the mini bicycle on the rack – it’s fully functional! :D And yeah they were wearing the t-shirts handprinted by us. :D -
We arrived quite early in the evening and some of the family members were already there. Since the day was still kinda early I took the chance to snap a few photos around.
I must mention that most of the interiors were done by the boss and the boss-tress themselves. Yes, themselves. As in they took the tools and drill the holes on the walls. I especially like the cork-board-like store room under the staircase. It’s so original!
If you walk further into the cafe, you’ll find an air weld and a secret little garden. And again, it was all done by themselves!
DARL ordered a cup of cappuccino for himself and according to him, it tasted awesome (btw I’m not a coffee person so no coffee for me). And the best part is, it could be tastier than what you can get from Starbucks anytime but you only have to pay at about half of the price. The secret? It’s their love and passion for coffee. They bought the coffee beans, roasted, milled, and brewed their very own coffee.
- Checkout the coffee miller (top-left) and the really HUGE coffee ‘roaster’. It’s taller than me! :D -

Sometime last month DARL came back excitedly after meeting a friend, telling me that the sister and brother-in-law of his friend is having a cafe with home-brewed coffee in Penang. I know it’s one of DARL’s dream to have a cafe like this. But instead of having one ourselves, this time around the sister and brother-in-law hooked up with us to print them some t-shirts for their new business. Yay! :D
It was rather a rush work, as all the t-shirts needed to be ordered separately. While waiting for the blank t-shirts to arrive, we spent some time preparing and testing the stencils. We’ve made plenty of mistakes, plenty of carelessness, and learned a good deal of lessons and experiences. It was, after all, all worth it. :)
The cafe’s name is Sitigun. It’s situated at the Nagore’s Place, near the New World Park.
And I so LOVE their slogan/tag line: where good life begins.
After more than one whole week of hard work, we’ve finally got all packed and ready for delivery.
There are now under their soft launching period and will officially open on this Friday, 6 June 08. Me and DARL are both invited to their opening. I’ll blog more about it at Listen so stay tuned! :)
Over the last few weeks, me and DARL have been extremely busy and tired with some commissioned-T at our little business, which required, well, larger quantity than we expected. Although this is not our initial target, but judging from the opportunity and potential experience at the back of them, we’ve decided to take up the challenge. It was, really a challenge. :D
We’ve had some fun along the process, plenty of arguments, and seriously a lot of experiences that we have never expected. And today, we’ve finally completed one of the orders, for a newly opened cafe, somewhere at Nagore Place. The owners are friends of DARL. I hope they like what we’ve done so far. :)
We didn’t have to work a lot on the artwork for them as they’ve got their logo and everything ready. And I really love their slogan/tag line.
where good life begins (notice the naked fella behind. That’s DARL with the stencil in the middle of work. :P)
I’ll have to be the dispatch today as DARL needed to report at work and it was already late for him. :/
We are planning to pay them a visit hopefully sometime next week, for the legendary pure and aromatic coffee. I heard that place is super cool (I’m also planning to take a peek later when I send the t-shirts over, LOL). I’ll blog more about it later so stay tuned. :)
P/S: I’ve been wanting to create a poll in my blog for weeks but could never make it through the creating-questions phase. Today I thought I should just do it no matter how. Scroll down and look at your right to participate in the poll. :)
