A concept space dedicated to promoting Singaporean books, film and music, there's plenty of interesting material to peruse over a cup of coffee at Earshot Café. Located within the impressive Arts House building, the cafe's soft lighting, comfortable couches and chilled soundtrack makes for an ambient spot to while away an hour or two.
