Review Body: The Latte Art and Coffee workshop I had attended was while we were visiting Singapore. Haslee was our teacher. There were 4 of us signed up and my husband came to take pictures. This experience was one of the top items done on our trip! The shop is quaint and has the top of the line equipment producing the best lattes. Haslee is a master at his craft and a gifted teacher. We had an absolute blast. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to start to learn the magic of latte art. We were able to purchase some of the cups The Wired Monkey had for sale and I hope to do Haslee justice by producing great art work! If there was ANY criticism it would be that the class was incredible but didn't exactly match the description of what was posted. So, I think that should be adjusted. I don't think there would be any way we could cover all those topics in one session which leads me to a suggestion....................a sequel class!! I think there's enough to be learned to offer another class, more on the basics of coffee and the differences of coffee drinks, grinds, etc. Again, thank you Haslee for making our Singapore trip from the US such a memorable experience!

Review Body: Haslee is very kind and helpful. Highly recommended. I went to his coffee shop on a sunny Sunday and I was the only student. It was quite enjoying to see Haslee accommodate other guests and teach me at the same time. Guests in the cafe are very nice as well and very encouraging (I was so bad at making a latter art). I wasted 10 cups and only got a small heart which looks like a corky butt. Also a friendly reminder is that don’t feel too bad about these cups so you drank them all. I was dizzy the whole afternoon and I felt a bit caffein doped because I drank too much of my bad latte! BTW, ask Haslee where to get lunch! Little India turned out to be quite a fun place to explore.

Review Body: I took part in The Wired Monkey's, "Learn to be Your Own Barista: Latte Art & Coffee Masterclass" with the very knowledgeable Haslee as teacher. While the class was primarily focused Espresso and Latte art, Haslee was able to cover a much wider range of topics which tailored to my individual needs. Topics such as flavour profiles, bean storage, bean origins, roasting at home, what to look out for in an Espresso Machine and grinder and how to maintain them. I came away learning much more then i was expecting. I highly would recommend this course for anyone with interest in getting into coffee and those looking to improve their morning daily routine.

Review Body: Attended with my husband and son for “Learn to be your own Barista: Latte Art and Coffee Masterclass” at The Wired Monkey and it was such an amazing experience! Thoroughly enjoyed our session with Haslee, who was so patient as he imparted valuable knowledge tailored to our level for home brewing. We tried our hands at pulling shots, weighing, steaming milk, latte art plus an overdose of caffeine 🤪 Haslee’s cafe was cosy and clean, and we felt very comfortable just like in a friend’s home. Highly recommend if you are first timer like us or wanting to dive deeper to being a barista or just for the fun! Surely you will learn something!

Review Body: Haslee has reset our high standard for a good coffee! The Wired Monkey cafe runs by him is undoubtedly serves The Best Coffee in Singapore (ranked by (Website hidden by Airbnb) My husband and I attended the workshop in mid Dec, since then, we simply can't find a coffee that meet (or even come close to) our standard, besides going back to The Wired Monkey cafe! Like all reviews stated, Haslee is a very passionate guy. He has lots of experience and knowledge to share. Overall, highly highly recommended.

Review Body: I was lucky to be the only one attended the class and had a 1-1 session with Haslee, he is very knowledgeable and willing to share every tip and tricks that will help you to achieve a good cup of coffee. I appreciate his effort to get to know his student before starting to class, this allows him to cater a class to my needs.

Review Body: This was one of the most memorable experiences in a long time. Has patiently showed us how a proper espresso and late are made, what one should pay attention to. Has is very knowledgeable and he would explain the differences between the various beens and roasts and brewing methods. A must for coffee lovers and aspiring baristas. I also look forward to visiting the place once, twice, ... soon.

Review Body: Hasli was a great host although we arrived slightly later, he was still very accommodating and welcoming. He was really detailed with the different parts of the machine and how to create latte art - although we were quite clumsy as we were new to it. It would be great if we can try and explore different kinds of coffee beans too! But nevertheless, a great experience still :)
