I bookmarked quite a list of eating places that I'm intending to try out. Yes, Sg is just a tiny red dot, but there're many delightful surprises around the corners if we know exactly where to venture to. This time round, my siz & I went to Duxton Hill, Flor Patisserie, a cafe which is known for its Japanese pastries & frozen cheese-tarts. 

Flor Patisserie is a warm & snuggly cafe which also means it's very petite, only able to accommodate that few modest tables of customers. 
Their popular Napoleon was sold out by the time we went, which was around 2pm. Either we were really too late or its Napoleon is really that popular. 

These 2 cakes that we had are delicious, but they aren't as unique as we had expected them to be. Guess we were too immersed in our intense imagination of how unique desserts could be. Come to think of it, tasty desserts are satisfying enough, why on earth were we so greedy to be expecting more, right?
 Humans humans *shakes head*

Not a strawberry fan, but these are big & juicy. 

As the frozen cheese-tart can only stay unrefrigerated for an hour, my siz bought it for Heroine only after we've finished walking the streets of Chinatown. While roaming, we were surrounded by Thais and their soothing and gentle accents.


Just last Saturday, had my siz to be my companion for the Night Festival. 


The alley beside the Peranakan Museum.

Peranakan Museum, the place where we stayed the longest given the fact that it was our first time there and the Peranakan in us were captivated by all the exquisite details on every single object being displayed. 


Look at all these pouches & purses! How to contain all the gaspings & exclamations of "Oh my God!"? We couldn't and we didn't! 


GIVE US THESE KEBAYAS! NOW!


After leaving the Peranakan Museum in awe, we continued the trailing and found our way to Art Museum. Though it didn't captivate us like the Peranakan Museum did, we had our fair share of fun moments.


At the open field of Fort Canning where the skies appeared too gloomy. 

Everyone gathered around to witness the performance of our local illusionists. Apparently, that performance was averred to break the world's record. Think it was the height of 75 feet or something along that line. Just a tinge of breathlessness which lasted only for a brief moment, nonetheless, a live performance like this is memorable indeed.
 

When you find the clock ticking by too fast, you'll realize that's because of the company.
Strolling through the shop-houses and roadside stalls that were lined up side by side, flashbacks of being at BKK came rushing back. How I wished I was at BKK right now and then.


"Excuse me, I want to check in my luggage please."

We were supposedly going to venture & explore around Chinatown, placing ourselves in the shoes of tourists', however we didn't linger on for long but at least we managed to take a tourist shot.

 I found myself going nearer & nearer to Duxton area. By foot, we were wandering around searching for a nice place for dinner. We wandered around for almost an hour. AN HOUR!

Finally at Kko Kko Nara, mostly because most of the other BBQ restaurants were full. Second choices aren't always merely second best, especially this. Their signature fried chicken is superb too, with most emphasis on the garlic flavored chicken.
