Mein Montag

The title means My Monday in German!

Haven’t been writing any posts lately so I thought I’ll just post a short one today.

Went out on Monday to get our shoes and my jeans, as well as collect vouchers from openrice, eat Just Like It icecream !!

1. Just Like It
It’s ice cream that’s made from liquid nitrogen on the spot, it’s actually quite nice to see how they make it. It’s not my first time seeing it but it still fascinates me alot. Thanks to Alicia who introduced this to us! Bought $3.90 and $2.90 off qoo10 (gmarket) and it was a good deal because the original price was $5.90, premium flavors at $6.90. We ordered one classic flavor ($5.90, Rum and Mint) and a premium flavor ($6.90, Durian, which we topped up another $1 for it)! The ice cream was quite good!!! It’s not sticky like the other ice cream and it leaves a very smooth feeling down my throat. The only downside is the price though. But I supposed with all the equipment needed to make it, it’s no wonder its priced at $5.90. Outlets @ tampines, Ion orchard and AMK. New outlet opening at RWS (or is it already opened??)

2. Palladium boots
I know typically everyone buys boots from Timberland for winter/cold countries/season. Initially I wanted timberland but kept putting it off because 1) my fav earthkeeper series apparently is not waterproof (or so I checked) and 2) they are super heavy and quite tedious to walk in, for someone who’s short, I don’t want to come across as looking stout -.-

Anyway, one day, Yk and I chanced upon the Palladium shop at Ion while randomly walking past and to us, it was just a shop selling boots that looked very stylish. I have never even heard of the brand before! So we walked in and looked around, enquired for the price and went out without buying anything. The first thought that came to my mind while holding the shoes was, it’s so much lighter compared to timberlands, price wise quite similar but yet so much more nicer and lighter. AND IT’S WATERPROOF. But $229? No, we thought, lets just look around for cheaper ones.

I actually went a second time with Rachel, to feel the boots again and ask which were the ones that are waterproof and what makes it so different from the ones that aren’t. But I still didn’t buy.

Yk and I went to IMM to check out the so called factory outlet of timberland (there’s another one at Changì City Point). But the prices are not very much marked down leh. The boots still costs $179, $199 etc. I think it’s cheaper in US for the factory outlet prices. Anyway do check out Changì city point! It’s like IMM tho it has lesser dining places but I really love the fact that they have a PUMA outlet there!!! It’s so similar to the one at HK. And also because I’m very biased, huge Puma fan.

Enough of sidetracking. Then one day Yk told me, “I’ve decided to buy the Palladium boots.” Inside my mind I was like, “YES!” The palladium boots have been on my mind ever since the second time I went and so we headed down on Monday!

The aunty that was attending to us was so nice!!! And also because no one was in the shop too. Hehe. She gave quite alot of friendly opinions which I eventually heeded because it was what I was thinking too: Comfort. I got the $229 maroon one that was waterproof and probably don’t really look like on the outside. And because both of us both it together, she kindly gave us a 10% discount! So we paid $206.1 each for a pair of trendy, light weight, waterproof, unique (because most of the ppl in the class are wearing timberland which is so mainstream)! Yeah I like to be set apart, don’t like to follow the norm if I can help it.

I didn’t take a photo of the boots yet (but I will when I start wearing at Munich). So here’s a photo of our cool plastic bags! You can totally use it as a shopping bag! It has a long strap which is adjustable and can act as a sling bag lol. Cool or what!

3. I wanted to buy a new pair of jeans for the trip but its super difficult to find a good fit, good price one. Call me a hoarder, I’ve over 10 pairs of jeans but I’m still buying. Lol. I went to Esprit and Pull&Bear but after trying some, none of them was what I had in mind!! Personally, I think Levi’s has a good range of jeans for all sizes, and body shapes. However it’s far too expensive although I must say the quality and cutting is really good. So what’s next?

Denizen is a good choice if you’re looking for a perfect pair of jeans. It’s like the sister brand / cheaper version of Levi’s which probably explains why it’s cheaper! Although the quality might not be that good but for half the price of Levi’s plus good cutting, I think it’s worth it! I’m not sure why but every year I go inside to get a pair, the person would say, “2 pairs for $99”. I guess it’s always an ongoing promotion. So I got Yk to buy another pair with me. Hehe.

We went to the tampines outlet but the black jeans that Yk wanted in his size was OOS so we left.

And after going ION and getting our shoes, we went to Jurong Point Denizen which was twice bigger than the one at tampines!

He wanted to get a pair that was more fitting but after seeing him wear the skinnier kind, I still think he looks best with the normal classic slim? I got a skinny one but it doesn’t seem extremely skinny to me but nevertheless I felt comfortable and flattering in it! It’s fitting yet not tight, and thus this time I did not have to alter because it does not fall to my shoes. Yk got a grey one and then the auntie helping us told us that if we get any third item in the stall, it’s just another $20. Like too good to be true right!! But it’s true >< anyway the auntie choose a pair of jeans for him and I think he really looked good in it so I just asked him to get it!!!!!

So in total, we paid $119.90 for 3 pairs of jeans. MUAHAHAHAHA. Win!

Okay pretty much the end of my rambles for Monday! Didn't had a very good few days after that though, the mind didn't seemed like it can concentrate on the upcoming exam. Lets just hope all the money problems are settled. DB Y U SO GERMAN. I can't read much on the website and was so utterly pissed. Sian. Why am I leaving so soon!!! I still lots to do. Zzz.

Ich habe Schlecht.

O’Coffee Club!

Finally got to visit wally at coffee club where she’s working at on Saturday! HEHE. I guess I won’t have the chance to go tampines anymore now that school’s starting!

You can’t miss Coffee Club if you’re heading to Tampines 1! Turn right after exiting the gantry at the control station and after walking down the short flight of stairs, to your left is coffee club, located in an open area. I’ve previously tried the tea because I needed some place to sit, but this time it’s visiting wally at work! The best thing is she recommended some good cakes! Some cakes looked nice but she said it’s not that good so we skipped that and went straight for the nicer ones. HEHE.

Initially I wanted 3 cakes, but wally was like “HUH” haha. I guess I will be very full too, because each cake is so rich in flavour! So in the end Yk and I got 2 cakes and a drink! Wally recommended quite a few cakes but I couldn’t make up my mind I just told her to give us two slice of cakes that she thinks are good.

Presenting to you the first cake: Apricot Passion Fruit Heaven ($7.20). This little black fella needs more than just one mouth to be fully appreciated by the taste buds. The first taste of it for me was like, “Weird” because the apricot was a little sour and it made the whole cake just tastes funny. But for every subsequent mouthful, I grew to like it a lot! The sweet and sour taste complement each other.

apricot passion fruit heaven

The second slice of cake that we had was Blackforest Cake ($6.90). It may just be very ordinary to some but this blackforest cake is really quite rich in flavour.

The drink we ordered was Iced Hazelnut Choco Latte ($7.50). Wally actually recommended the blackforest latte but because we had a blackforest cake already, we choose something else. She said the latter was nice because of the rum in the drink. Anyway our hazelnut latte was kind of diluted, and it’s hazelnut because there’s really hazelnuts in the latte. Kind of weird right! I couldn’t taste the hazelnut though. Totally don’t recommend this.

We spent $21 in total after a 15% discount on the coffee club card my sister has. Anyway, thanks wally!

Phantom of the Opera @ MBS

A break from the staycation posts, going to blog about PHANTOM OF THE OPERA which I caught a few hours after I ended my staycation. I went home to rest and went out again. Quite tiring though, but already bought the tickets >< and recently they added another 2 more shows due to the overwhelming response.

Buying tickets;
I bought the tickets in late May, early June (can’t remember). But I was procrastinating a lot as we’ve no idea about our schedule yet. Yk might have exams during that period so it was a risk buying then. But after some analysing, I figured out that there won’t be any exams during the 2 PH so we went for 7 Aug 8pm show. Because I waited quite long to buy it, I could only get seats from the last few rows, or a few rows down where the seats are at the side. I had to choose between Row O (3 seats from the side) or Row M (side seats) and I went for Row O. Thank goodness the structure of the theatre allows the audience to view the play even if you’re very high up. I thought that the 2 rows difference won’t be significant. I was right! Previously I watched Wicked at the same theatre and I was at Row L. Anyway the ticket I bought was the $58 one.

The musical (some spoilers);
The opening started with an auction. I think the old lady in the wheelchair is Christine. A monkey musical ‘box’ was on auction and Christine bought it because it belongs to the phantom once. And the next item on auction was the chandelier, which was very well known at the theatre during the time when the phantom was terrorising the opera house. After which, the orchestra started playing the very famous Overture, scene shifted to many many years back when the phantom was still around, and the chandelier came to life. It was of grandeur, glory and gold.

I didn’t know the phantom’s a real living person, and not like a zombie or something!! I wiki-ed and it says that he’s a musical genius (he taught Christine to sing) and that he designed part of the opera house that’s why he’s able to make himself disappear so quick. Everything was engineered!

They said no photography but I couldn’t resist. There were so many other people taking pictures. there’re even some people who took photo of the chandelier coming to life.

we quickly took this

My take on PoTO;
I really love the songs of PoTO, I think the orchestra did an amazing job. They are Singaporeans who auditioned prior to the start. WOO, major thumbs up! And I really love the Phantom (Brad Little)’s voice. AMAZING VOCALS. He totally brings out the phantom’s character! Of course he received the loudest applause (from me, and from the audience too). There’s some parts where I couldn’t catch what they were saying, but nevertheless I still enjoyed the songs. Okay I admit some parts were abit boring (those without phantom in it) but overall, I still will go and watch again if they tour to Singapore once more! The only grip I had was that I couldn’t see the phantom’s face (without the mask) from where I was sitting -.-

Anyway check out the video below. It’s from one of the scenes of PoTO where the phantom took Christine to his lair for the first time. The very same phantom (Brad Little) and Christie (Claire Lyon) who acted in the musical I watched!

The Singapore advertisement.

on a note, school is starting tomorrow. I won’t be posting so frequently though. You can check back every two days to see if I’ve scheduled up anything! 🙂

Movie time!

HELLO! Monday blues yet? Haha I just watched Wolverine like 3 hours ago and here I am back home blogging about it. And I’m going to head out for dinner with the seniors! So after german class ended at 12.15pm today, yk and I walked over to cine to buy movie tickets and lunched at the newly opened Eighteen Chefs!

Eighteen Chefs
Cathay Cineleisure Orchard (nearest MRT: Somerset)
8 Grange Road #04-02

The first time we ate Eighteen Chefs was last year at the toing bahru outlet and we’ve been there twice. Recently we’re on the hunt for cheaper alternatives yet good food so cine’s the best bet for now. There’s the student meal for $6.40 where you get to choose from 4 mains , 1 ice lemon tea and ice cream! 🙂 ALL FOR $6.40! No additional charges. For the mains, choose between pasta/baked rice (for the student meal only, there’s actually a lot more choices), then choose the sauce (wide variety), then choose from the 4 ingredients (there’s chicken sausage, scrambled eggs etc). I got chicken sausage pasta with tangy tomato as my base, yk got scrambled eggs with creamy sauce (I’ve no idea what he took but it was cream based).

Having tried both the baked rice and pasta before, I would say, go for the pasta if you like your food to be wetter, baked rice if you like your food to be drier. Yk loved the creamy sauce so much he ‘drank’ it all up! He even attempted to finish my one. Tangy tomato is not bad! But abit sour-ish so I didn’t ‘lick’ it up like he did. There’s only 4 chicken sausage but the sauce was enough to make me eat the spaghetti on its own (with the sauce)! Complimentary water at the side, but the ice tea is really enough, it’s a huge cup! Ice cream was just the normal one scoop of chocolate ice cream. Don’t expect yourself to be extremely full from the meal if you’ve a larger appetite, it’s only $6.40 but with variety!

We only had 30mins to eat, go toilet before the movie. Didn’t manage to redeem the drink before the movie because the counter was closed -.- WOLVERINE WAS AWESOME. I just love Marvel movies, I can go on and on about them. I love this movie because more than 70% of the movie is based in Japan! 🙂 And I think Hugh Jackman was one of the few Caucasian actors, the rest were Japanese. I shall not spoil much about the movie but the Japanese girl with red hair was cool!! Love the audi car. And the fighting scenes, so much action packed into a 120min movie. Basically Logan (Hugh Jackman) went to Japan to visit this dude, Yashida who was dying and whom he saved many many years ago during the bombing of Nagasaki. So Yashida asked him if he wants to trade his immortality with him, so Logan can just be a human and die normally. And a series of events unfold, and things weren’t as simple as it seems. And this mutant, Viper, who’s just scary!!! One breath of hers just leaves you limping, semi-poisoned.

OKAY. I’m going out soon. Cheerios.

18

This post should have been up even earlier -.- hehe yk and I celebrated 18months at Nook! 🙂 It’s actually more than a month back. We went there after the career fair in school and were armed with lots of barang barang. LOL, those freebies from school la.

Nook – DIY House of Pancakes
21 Lorong Kilat #01-03 (a few shops down from Carpenter and Cook)
Very useful info on how to get there and opening hours:
https://www.facebook.com/nookpancakes.sg/info
http://nook.sg/menu/

We went for the DIY pancakes buffet that lasted from 3pm to 6pm! Kids-$8, Students-$10, Adults-$12, GST not inclusive. HAHAHA I think I wore like I was from my workplace (with shirt and pants due to career fair) and the person didn’t believe I was a student until I showed my student pass. LOL.

There’s quite a few flavours for the batter to choose from, original buttermilk, pandan, strawberry, chocolate etc but we choose the original one and pandan one! There’s butter and chocolate sauce on the table already, so the rest of the toppings you have to walk to the front and take it using the small metal cups/bowls to choose!

what we were given and some toppings that we took

toppings table

heat is adjustable

Let the DIY-ing begin! We were so excited to get started so our first few shapes were rather normal like circles before we really started doodling. And one of the staff asked us if we want to take a photo!! 🙂

first batch of pancakes

subsequently we learn the trick to making round pancakes -.-

I did this

yk did this

MR CLOWN

We finished the two bottles of batter quite fast though. So we asked for refill. When we said to refill both, I think the person was like, “Do you want to refill half instead?” Should have listened -.- ate until super full lor. Yeah we didn’t want to be charged for wastage, so we did roti jala to try and use finish. Anyway the heat of the stove is adjustable, so don’t wory about burning your pancakes, because apparently they never will. We turned up the heat but we still had some time to take photos of what we doodled.

2 more months hopefully!

Some useful tips
– come armed with your own water unless you’re okay with paying (think $1 or $0.50 I can’t rmb)
– I think half refill will be better
– don’t think they charge wastage if you didn’t finish your first bottle

We didn’t pay extra for the water because we had 3 bottles of water from the career fair! We downed 2 bottles in total. Totally lighten our load man!! Too ambitious thinking we could finish 4 bottles of batter -.- In the end we overate, AS USUAL. Overall, even though we were just eating flour (pancakes) but there’s fun in DIY-ing your own pancakes and not having to clean up the mess! 🙂

How I spent my 22nd (Part 1)

Hi peeps!! I’m back. I feel so sian to write this post because there’s too many photos and too much to say. Warning: Very wordy post before the pictures.

The bf and I went to Buffet Town for dinner! How did we come to decide on Buffet Town? I wanted a buffet and we were googling for good ones which has Asian (more of) + western + Japanese + affordable. Most hotels do serve this kind and I was choosing between Kiseki, One Market, and some from Ritz Carlton and Pan Pacific. But hotel buffets were out of the budget so I was more into restaurants. Kiseki has been on our to-go list for almost 2 years now but (ya like ever since we started dating) but Kiseki did not offer a range of food as wide as Buffet Town, plus Buffet town just costs prob $6 more? (Did you know Kiseki and Buffet Town are under the same company as thai express, Poulet?? They should totally have a loyalty card for all these restaurants). Anyway after seeing the super wide range of food on the website, plus hearing good feedback from Abigail and debra, we decided to give Buffet Town a go! Alas, it’s too popular because it’s really affordable if you eat a lot of those expensive seafood items. Yk called up on Tuesday but the reservations were full! And there’s only places for 30 walk-in customers.

Buffet Town
Raffles City, #B1-44E
(at the far end, the less crowded side)
Pricing: http://www.buffettown.com.sg/pricing.html
You can find most info there!

So on Friday, I thought I will be able to end school at a relatively good timing at 3pm, but Dr J only released us at 4.10pm!! I rushed home like a maniac, and thankfully, the train arrived as soon as I reached the platform, the bus came when I reached the interchange, which allowed me to be home in good time to bathe. I rushed out of the house at 5.10pm (I’m a superwoman HAHAH. kay jokes aside)! I missed both buses but the next bus to BV Mrt came relatively fast and caught up with the previous bus because it didn’t really stop. YAY. But the buffet starts at 6!! HOW LEH. I was late. Then yk told me the walk-in customers can only start going in at 6.15pm, which was really good news for me since I reached on the dot. He was the 14th person in line and he started queueing at around 5.35pm?

Some tips!
– Reserve early, probably 1 week in advance for hot days like Fridays and weekends, especially dinners.
– If you can’t get reservations, I suggest you go early to queue, around 5.30 to at least gurantee seats for the first batch of walk-ins.
– If the above 2 is not fulfilled…. I suggest you go another day bah, or else wait until 7plus till 8 where people start to leave when they are full. The two couples beside us left ard 7plus and 8plus and still got people come in and eat! They seriously eat a lot and damn fast also.
– We paid $96 for both persons, after GST and service charge
– Not possible to finish trying all the food, so just zoom in on the more worth it, more expensive food and the ones that you think is really nice.

Let the food begin! 🙂

I can’t remember what this station was called, but you pick the amount of meat you want (fish, pork, chicken) and ask the person to stir fry it. IT’S SUPER DUPER NICE. Especially the dory. Succulent! Wei Fang who went before, also asked me to try it. Similarly for the vegetables, you choose how much you want and they will stir fry it for you. I didn’t know they will stir fry with garlic, I’m not not not not a huge fan of garlic, but I still ate it because it’s so good! LOVE THIS STATION THE MOST. Wanted to go for a second round but my stomach was really full and there’s still a lot I haven’t tried.

My love for vegetables.. ahhhh I love buffet town!

The stir fried meat

We took some other cook items as well.

Y THE BF HAVE SUPER NICE EYES AH

We attacked the crab after that. Was abit disappointed that the portion was rather small, not the whole crab la. They have chilli crab and black pepper crab. The chilli crab was too spicy for me (my tolerance not very high) but the black pepper one was great! I plucked the meat until my whole hand was full of chilli and black pepper, because the bf has never eaten crab before and I’m plucking the meat out for him! He’s de-shelling the prawns for me though. We ate probably 14 prawns or more, he took so much. And he took my favourite tom yum soup with prawn! It’s really nice too. And it was really thoughtful of buffet town to have placed the lemon water on our table before we even sat down.

crabby

We went to walk around after that, trying to take in the amount of food they have as well as checking out the varieties. I was zooming in on laksa whereas YK was aiming for the curry chicken which we took very long to find. We thought it’s at some station and we have to go ask for it, but turns out it’s with all the cooked dishes at the thai section, that’s just right next to where we were sitting. Talking about near and afar!

some of the desserts

sushi bar near the entrance (yes sashimi is from there too, cut freshly on the spot

first time eating sashimi, because I want this buffet to be worth $50

Laksa

pizza at the Italian/western station

Carbonara

looks so nice but I didn’t get to eat it because I was feeling so unwell

yk say no more when he went to take at around 9pm

Chawanmushi and wintermelon soup

super happy to have found his long lost curry friend

curry boy

Another section of the buffet worth commenting about is the coffee section! I feel so happy to see this section! It looks just like a real coffee shop! And I had a hard time choosing which one I wanted because I wanted to try all. In the end we ordered a kopi c! As there were only hot drinks here, we took a cup with ice and did the teh tarik thing after that! Another commendable item to try is the soya beancurd (really smooth and silky, it rolls down your throat) and the soya bean drink (as recommended by Amanda but I didn’t try).

hehe super love!! Become iced coffee !

Tried the marinara pasta but too spicy for me 😦

I didn’t try the desserts after that because after I went the toilet (the queue was freaking long) and waited too long I guess my stomach flipped. Was trying to control the vomit from coming out from the mouth so much so that I sweated profusely. Drinking tea apparently made things worse so I just sat there talking to yk until I feel that I was well enough to get up and leave. We took bus after that and here’s the one and only good photo we had. Even though I ate so much till I feel sick but the food at buffet town is indeed value for money! The staff were super efficient and cleared our plates as soon as we finished. GOOD JOB! And thanks to the bf for the treat 😀

18 months – 140613

It’s our 1.5 years anniversary!!! HAHA. Don’t know if anniversary is the appropriate word though. Anw not the main point. Gonna be a short post before the day ends!

So after school, we headed to town to watch Man of Steel. Tbh, I didn’t even know it’s like “Origin of superman” kind of thing. So after all the first few movies, then marvel makes an origin movie? Lol. The 4.30 timing had very lousy seats so we went for the 5.15 one. Had some time to kill, so we went Uniqlo to shop! Yk got 5 of the $7.90 tees he usually wears which was retailing at $4.90! Now got sale mah, and it’s like super cheap??!? Quality not bad also.

We went to Charlie Brown Cafe too! Bought this deal for the $6.8 crepe/pancakes and a soft drink so we got woodstock’s cherry crepe. Ermm not nice one, the crepe too much cherry and it’s damn sweet 😦 sigh the food standards like dropping but we still like the ambience. Boo. If only the food is nicer right! >_<

Man of Steel was really good! Go and watch it if you’ve like all the previous superman movies! But kinda confusing start for me at first. Was wondering when he’s an adult and when he’s a kid or just flash back etc. OO anyway I hadn’t really watch the first two(?) movies. But it’s Abit Sci-fi with all the aliens stuff, the aliens are humans-like tho. Not a fan of Sci-fi but I still like it! Haha.

Headed to yoshinoya at 313 for dinner!! Haha happy food!! Really like yoshinoya alot! Their fries are oven baked (if I’m not wrong) and greens in their mains! I ordered the student meal ($5.95 for one main, one drink and one plate of fries) and yk got the $9.90 set cz got more things like main, drink, fries, dessert, miso soup! And because we had the Ntuc card, we got extra mushrooms as toppings! The mushrooms were so good!!! Sjora is having promotion now, and its a free upgrade to sjora from the usual soft drinks only available every friday! It’s so good!! I will totally buy it if they have it on shelves! I thought it was orange juice at first then I saw the poster, it’s mango and peach!! Super smooth combination and it’s not extremely sweet. Really refreshing!

Mongkok Dimsum

EHH we just happened to be there. (ya near geylang I know -.-)

Anyway story of how we ended up there; met yk early in the morning to go to pasir ris farmway to get dog/cat food at wholesale prices. We got quite a lot at $165? yk had to return the van back to his brother so he drove to his mum’s workplace and then we walked to the bus stop and saw this dimsum place. I didn’t have breakfast so I said to settle for brunch there!

Mongkok Dimsum
214 Geylang Road
Nearest MRT: Aljunied

We ordered crispy tofu, prawn dumplings, chicken porridge and char siew chee cheong fun plus a drink which was supposed to be some mixed drink but turned out super normal -.-

The crispy tofu ($3.20) was not too bad, there’s prawn fillings inside the tofu which makes it expensive but at the same time nice and filling. The Har gao ($3.20 prawn dumplings) has nothing to rave about, it’s just normal like any other har gao you eat outside. The porridge was quite expensive at $5. Plus there wasn’t much meat in it too and it tasted very normal, and I can definitely have 2 bowls of porridge at Lai kee, smaller portion of course but super nice. As for the chee cheong fun, we choose the char siew ($3.20) one because we didn’t want to have too many prawn dishes. Also very normal. I can get more at Lai Kee dimsum, nicer somemore for a cheaper price.

crispy tofu

prawn dumplings

some 3 colours milk tea

chee cheong fun

We went to town for nothing after that and bused back to jurong jcube to have macdonalds and I’M SO IN LOVE WITH THE THAI CITRUS FRIES. It tasted just like tom yum! I’ve fetish for tom yum these days, my lunch is just tom yum ban mian, I think my stomach has a big hole.

OldTown White Coffee

18 May 2013;
One day after my exam and after the previous night at Coastal Settlement for dinner, impromptu dinner with yk again! He had class on a Saturday and just nice I was out too, so dinner at JP’s OldTown White Coffee because I was craving for asam laksa.

Old Town White Coffee (Jurong Point)
#03-105/106/107/108/109/110/111/112
Jurong Point Shopping Centre

As the name suggests, there’s traditional coffee with toasts and mains like nasi lemak, chicken chop, laksa, curry chicken etc. However, the funny thing was that I couldn’t find set meal of toast, coffee and eggs like Ya Kun -.- so we ordered our coffee and toasts individually.
Note: Plain water costs $0.50, not free.

A just-okay kind of coffee that’s cold? Could use abit more sugar though, or maybe we didn’t stir properly.

Nanyang C Kopi $3.20

Previously we ate at Toast Box (haven’t do the review yet), the curry chicken was not nice. Sad amount of chicken, potato and only rice. But OTWC’s one is different! It has cucumbers, and this cucumber-pineapple-sour-spicy salad and some crackers. Generous amount of 2 chickens parts (thighs probably) and 1-2 potatoes. This was nicer too!! I love curry and laksa! 🙂

The rice part of the curry chicken

Together with the rice, curry chicken! ($8.20)

I actually wrote the serial number of our toast wrongly, and we ended up with steamed bun with butter and peanut butter. I was like OO did we order this??? And then yk said I wrote 20 instead of 02 😦 But quite unique though, I’ve never seen bun coming in those xlb baskets. Anw we ordered the original kaya toast also, but didn’t take photo.

steamed bun with kaya and butter $2.5

Haha I love it! But it’s abit spicy for me, though it’s still very ssssSSSHHHHOOOIIIKKKKKkkkk.

Asam Laksa $6.20

Showing off the bread machine that’s at my house downstairs. YAY no need to go over to the opposite block just to buy bread. I can have bread from downstairs too!!

The Shots Cafe

A few weeks back, we went to the tiong bahru, outram side again.

Guess where’s this???? Haha totally awe-strucked when we walked into this zone that seems like we’re in foreign land. Anyway this is duxton hill! There’s a lot of café-bars around but we skipped them because we were looking for coffee and a slice of cake.

Using foursquare, found out that there’s a Shots café nearby, 10-15mins walk.

The Shots Café
90 Club Street
Opening hours: Mon-Thu: 9am – 9pm, Fri: 10am – 10pm, Sun: 10am – 8pm
http://www.theshotscafe.com/
I would say that the nearest MRT would be Chinatown? Else you can take bus too.
From the MRT, walk in the direction of the iconic Indian temple and across the street, try to spot Eu Yan Seng. Cross the street and take a turn after the traffic light (don’t need to cross road). If you didn’t see Eu Yan Seng across the street, you can continue walking down (the right direction) until you see The Loft Pancakes and Waffles and cross the road.

we saw a huge coffee maker

We had piccolo latte ($4.80) and a matcha azuki cake ($7.50)! Quite good service, the barista gave us 2 glasses of water! But the coffee and cake were just pretty normal to me. I forgot yk dislike red beans, and the cake had red beans -.- anyway we nearly couldn’t finish the cake, yeah it’s quite a big slice. There weren’t a lot of people around too.
