But in 2020, Jay is walking away from that position as he pursues a new endeavour: Sago House. We talk a little Sago House, located in Singapore's historic Chinatown. But we take this unique moment in time as Jay transitions in his career to really discuss where he came from, how he got here, and where he hopes to go with Sago House. It's a great listen. Enjoy.

Week In Review, Jan 2020 | Week 2 | www.DailyDrinkMag.com

We kicked off week 2 by trying the EO Paloma from @employeesonlysg, then head over to @theshrineofsatisfaction to taste the clarified piña colada. #MondayEspresso comes next and we check out another gentle pressure profile created by Adrien Senac, a french barista. A quick packaging review comes next, and we see an unusual packaging solution from @homeground.coffee, who use a gun-metal tin. Then on to Hong Kong, we visit @pdthongkong to try their take on the Vesper, before headed back in time to visit the OG @habitualcoffee and take a quick peek at their preset locations. Finally, we see 28 Hong Kong Street in Singapore, another OG in this recent wave of specialty drinks.
