| Was empty when we reached at about 12noon. Was wondering how this café with a down-to-earth feel will survive... And then people started strolling in for lunch. Wow! |
 |
| I's sandwich with corn beef. She said it was good! :) |
 |
| I had a chicken sandwich. Look at the generous filling! Healthy combination with the side salad. Was very full :) |
 |
| Quiet when we reached. Guess people go there for lunch, more than brunch... Very nice ambiance... |
 |
| Merry Xmas! :) Used the Daiso curlers I got in Taipei for NT39 (less than SGD2) and the girls said I look good. LOL. May I should blog about the stuff I got from the trip... |
 |
| Christmas goodies look good! Might have gotten the meringue, if I was going straight home... |
 |
| What I had! Top: Very nice Antoinette cake and good café latte. The pancakes were ok.... |
 |
| What the girls had. Not bad too... |
 |
| Nice place but doesn't give me the feel-at-home vibe... |
 |
| Ran the Shape Run. It was postponed from July to October because of the haze back then. This is my second 10KM of the year and the first was so many months back! 10KM without stopping! Timing is about 1 HR 22 MIN - Well done! :P |
 |
| Then PY and I decided to try our luck at Tim Ho Wan after the run. Reached before 9am and we got seated in about 10 minutes. So go early if you don't want to queue :) Finally tried the vermicelli roll with pork liver - quite interesting. Try if you are in for something different :) |
 |
| Thought I will try the competition coffee - Citrus Sin! Quite interesting - imagine coffee and orange. Bitter-sweet. And strong. |
 |
| And our various choices for breakfast! we all used to be so excited about big breakfast but now... the fad seems to have faded. So I ordered French toast with bacon (top)! |
 |
| Sharing the basket of fish and chips which I like! :) Not the usual brunch, I reckon. |
 |
| Been a while since my last visit to Tanjong Pagar, and my first time to Peck Seah Street... |
 |
| Didn't know my slot at 11am was the first and I was early. Shop was not opened yet :/ |
 |
| Quite cosy. |
 |
| Nice place. Therapists were a bit unfriendly at the beginning (maybe it was too early). However they were not pushy when they tried to promote their package - $38 per session (for 10 sessions). |
 |
| Tried the original special (with seaweed and egg) - you can choose thickness of soup base, hardness of noodles etc. Order came quickly as I asked for normal for everything. |
 |
| Free boiled and spicy beansprout to go with the ramen. Plus points for tissue :) |
 |
| Grind the sesame and add it as a topping to bring out the flavour of the soup... |
 |
| Didn't try the boiled eggs though - brown ones for low cholesterol and white ones for normal cholesterol. |
 |
| Close-up. Did enjoyed my lunch - maximum marginal utility :) |
 |
| No frills shop. Authentic yah? |
 |
| Nice wall paper :) Going to try the green tea cola next time. Maybe for dinner. |
 |
| Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King |
 |
| Took a 5-minutes walk to Kiasu Espresso at 100 AM. |
 |
| Quiet on a Saturday morning. |
 |
| Had a ice cappuccino as it was a hot and humid day. Thought my new manicured nude nails look good with the coffee, I thought :P Coffee was ok. Did enjoyed reading up on Bangkok trip over coffee :) |
 |
| Here's a peek at my newly pedicured nude nails too! LOL. I love this pair of Vinci sandals I got from City Square JB last year! Picture taken at Neil Road where I saw so many people queuing outside Strangers' Reunion! |
 |
| Waiting to be seated at Tim Ho Wan. My friend commented that it is more like a café than a dim sum restaurant! |
 |
| I like it - the egg white and prawn went very well with the wrap! Was piping hot when served - nice! |
 |
| Wanted to snap a shot to show you how it is different from the usual spring roll but I think I failed. Imagine spring roll filled with egg white! |
 |
| Steamed egg cake - one of the 4 heavenly kings at Tim Ho Wan (means highly recommended/popular). I like it too - the brown sugar kind of melt in my mouth. LOL. |
 |
| See how soft and fluffy it is! Must try! Taste good when hot and also good after a while :) |
 |
| Another heavenly heaven - Baked Bun with BBQ Pork! The baked bun makes it different from the usual char siew bao. |
 |
| A peek into the crispy bun with pork (char siew)! |
 |
| Another heavenly king - Panned Fried Turnip Cake. Nothing special - it was moist and I could taste shreds of turnip.... |
 |
| Cold Tonic Medlar and Osamanthus Cake - nice way to round up a round of piping hot dim sum! It's good too! :) |
 |
| Big Breakfast lunch at Cedele. Not as deli as the weekend brunches but definitely value for money. Thanks to DBS Indulge, it was one-for-one so we paid about $7 each! |
 |
| Went to Din Tai Fung for dinner before Phantom of the Opera. Delicious pork dumplings (top) and pork + vegetable dumplings (bottom). Had the latter for the first time and I think it tasted healthier. Haha. Yummy dumplings! Looking forward to Taiwan trip in November where I planned to try some dumplings shops! :) |
 |
| Beautiful MBS at night. Not edible but still looks mouth-watering. LOL. |
 |
| At the Tuck Shop! Ice Lemon Tea has been a while.... |
 |
| Chicken Hor Fun at Tuck Shop. Small. But looks good. LOL. |
 |
| Last but not least, Earl Grey Tiramisu from Glaze. Delightfully received by the birthday girl and family. Happy 18, SS! :) |
