Have been passing by this stall named Modern Old School 现代 vs 老派 whilst going around 115 Bukit Merah View Food Centre for quite a while; these folks would be a stall that occupies a corner at the end of the food centre that serves up beverages. Whilst looking like a typical hawker centre drink stall that serves up Nanyang Kopi and Teh with bottles of beer also stocked in their display chiller, what is interesting about the menu at Modern Old School is the inclusion of rather unusual and trendy beverages to be found in a hawker centre setting — this includes the selection of Latte / Macchiato / Frappe, Pearl Milk Tea, Fruit Tea / Frappe, Cheesy Fruity Smoothie, Avocado, Dirty Fresh Milk and Alcoholic Coffee.
For those who enjoy cheap thrills, it is worth noting that their Bailey’s Latte is priced at only $6 and comes in a fancy cup that one would only expect to find at more high-end establishments that isn’t in the setting of a food court, coffeeshop or hawker centre (do note to return the cup to the counter after consumption; not to the tray return area). The base of the Bailey’s Latte would be similar to that of their Latte / Macchiato / Frappe offerings, though we did note that there is the addition of milk foam, vanilla syrup and Bailey’s Irish Cream whilst observing the preparation process. We really liked how the milk foam was frothed; very smooth, light and airy — we especially loved it when the foam is soaked with the alcohol-infused coffee itself. We were told to opt for the hot version for a stronger alcoholic kick and they definitely weren’t holding back on the booze for this one — could definitely feel the heat creeping up the throat amidst the caffeine which made in a good bang for the buck!
