Out Of The Pan @ Raffles City


A belated birthday celebration with SP at Out of the Pan @ Raffles City.  Known for its crepe, the restaurant has been around for many years (or so I recall).

More wholesome than awesome, I say :) Reminds me of Marche which I have not been for a while too (about a year?) - can get cheaper crepe there. LOL But there was a 1-for-1 offer for DBS card holder, so it was ok :P

There was a short queue when I reached at about 7.30pm. Was supposed to meet at 7pm but I was stuck at work :(



Kim Chi + pork roll - chosen by the birthday girl. Quite interesting fusion food :)


Prawn cake.


My choice of seafood roll - wanted something healthy :P


Indoor alfresco, I thought. Nice place to watch and be watched :P
Happy Birthday, SP! I hope you had one as wholesome as the crepe at Out Of The Pan! :)

Paris Baguette@Wisma Atrium

Found more pictures on Korean stuff in my smartphone! See my earlier post here! Took them when I was queuing to takeaway a ham/egg roll from Paris Baguette, a café from Korea. I was on my GSS spree and decided to have a FIKA but the café was so packed and people did not look like they were going to leave soon...

 

It's funny how I never managed to take a proper picture of the food I have had at Paris Baguette - the last time my smartphone ran out of battery so no pictures taken. This time, I did not take a picture of the ham/egg roll because it was a take-away. But it was very yummy! :) I am beginning to think that the savouries are better than the sweets, so go try and tell me if you agree!



When I was in Gangnam, Korea last year, I passed by Paris Baguette so many times but I hardly gave it much thought. Just popped in to grab a shake, I recall. Prices are much lower there! :( I'm so going to café big time the next time I visit Korea. LOL.

Korean brands - Belif and 4Fingers

Korean brands have been making a dent in my wallets lately :P Decided to shop at Plaza Singapura after visiting my dentist at Singapore Shopping Centre last last Friday. Been to the new wing for food but never really shop.

 
Popped into belif because I heard that its eye-mask is very good. Thought my eyes are not looking as fresh since I started working again - must be due to the UV radiated by my laptop and the occasional late nights :(  It was a very pretty shop with pretty products - typical Korean style, I must say :)



And what a K-POP! I bought an anti-dark circle eye serum because I wanted my dark circles to look less obvious! Not cheap - almost the same price as premier brands like estee launder... Will give it  a few weeks to see if it's worth it :)
Also brought an overnight mask - my first although overnight products like the Laneige have been quite popular amongst my friends. Was not in my shopping list but the sales assistant persuaded me to hit $100 to get the membership and there was a 20% discount on these masks. Cheaper than I thought :) Tried it once - smell nice and help me relax as I fall into my slumber...


Free samples - typical Korean style again. LOL.



Pretty packaging. Belif - Believe in truth.
 

 
Been a few years since I had 4Fingers Crispy Chicken at Ion. Nice when it is hot...

Close-up! Nice kimchi fries :) Found the chicken a bit too dry but it was crispy indeed :)
Also snagged a pair of shoes from Spurs which was on sales! Have wore it once to the office but forgot to snap. Will upload a picture when I remember :) Only spent a few hours at Plaza Singapura but spent quite a bit - what a happy retail therapy!
