I have no idea when this trend started coming about, but we Singaporeans have been crazy about cafe-hopping lately and believe it or not, there are even blogs dedicated to cafe-hoppers!
I’m not a really cafe-hopping kind of person myself but I’m intrigued by the concept of the cat cafe. The first cat cafe opened in Taiwan in 1998, allowing customers to enjoy the benefits of owning a cat without actually doing so (eg. cats are banned in HDB).
Following list of cat cafes which you can find in Singapore;
