What's better than a weekend spent exploring food and cozy looking shops along rows of shop-houses with back alleys that are worth stopping for some photo-taking? That was my Saturday. Trying my best to ignore my constipation problem, I decided to pamper it with food hoping it'd get better and it didn't. But at least food wise, it left me no room to whine about.

Child kidnapper alert! 


Books Actually
I haven't had time to immerse myself in world of words for so long. All my reading time is devoted to studying and slipping in time to catch up on news daily. Reading news is probably the closest I've been to actually reading during my degree phase. Long forgotten are the touch of storybooks in my hands, the smell of the pages when I flip over and the reluctant slipping of my bookmark in between the pages when I've to stop reading. I'll be back on my reading track after I'm done with my final wees. Reading of books which I'm emotionally attracted to and of course those that I'm 'financially' and 'economically' attracted to if you get what books those are.

PS Cafe only allows takeaways and the limited seats are only suitable for wine tasting or desserts and the Q at a food bistro signified a wait too terrifying for our famished stomachs, we settled for Poteato.
The truffle fries reminded me that I still haven't pay Sprmrkt a visit for their highly raved truffle fries. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that this truffle fries' sub-standard reminded me of that, this plate is goodness itself. 

Buffalo wings

My BBQ ribs with a unique sauce which tastes of Indian's spices that I, fortunately, like. No racist intention, just that Jeremy didn't like the taste of spice in the sauce like I did,

Having laid my eyes on PS Cafe's desserts section earlier on, it would be a sin if I didn't take a leap at their desserts so here, this rich and moist chocolate cake with generous layer of nuts. Though delicious, but it is on the pricier side to me. $12 for a slice of cake. I guess I ain't cut out for those high-end tai tai hi-tea lifestyle. 

LONG TIME CRAVING! Creamier waffles! My liking for waffles found its way of enlightenment when I had my first bite on Wimbly Lu's thick, crispy & fluffy waffles. Never thought I'd find a waffle that I'd like more (equally yes but not more) until I tried Creamier's. 


The main reason why I prefer Creamier's is because it's thicker yet it doesn't lose the crispiness & fluffiness. And their interesting flavors of ice-cream appeals more to me than Wimbly's.


The night got more interesting after our late night indulgence of waffles. Impromptu trip to Bukit Batok Nature Park had us seeing two 'suspicious' looking cars parked at dark corners of the park with their engine off, blinds drawn. Hanky-panky moments. Though the cars weren't 'rocking'. Haha. Either it's cost-saving (than a motel/hotel) or they find it adventurous. Either way, it's weird to me. 
Anyway, we may be going back to Bukit Timah Hill this coming Sunday for trekking because the darkness prevented us from doing so that night.
Real Food. I've been seeing the tempting pictures on instagram posted by my goddess from a long time ago and I told Redbull & my siz I've to try it personally (also, in the hope of bumping into my goddess which I did not). 

Made a trip to this organic food cafe with another food lover like me, my siz. 


It was empty when we just reached but the crowd started making their way in during lunch time. There was a few tables occupied by lone rangers so who is to say you can't have a meal all by yourself? What matters is you've to enjoy your own company before making someone else enjoy your company right? 



Avocado & coconut smoothie which could have been better if it was in a thicker form. 


Aglio Olio

Pumpkin pancake, THUMBS UP

My organic baked rice which was too big a portion.

Wanted to have our desserts at Cake Spade but the office lunch crowd beat us to it. We never understand how the office mates can afford to sit down and chill over desserts after their meals. 2 hours lunch time perhaps? Whichever company that offers 2 hours lunch break is very generous with their employees' incentives. 

Strolled aimlessly in hope of finding a decent place for desserts but we failed terribly under the scorching sun along with our aching feet. 

Anyway, Soup Spoon serves the WORSE carrot cake ever. WORSE. Tough like rock and tasted like some hand soap. Even this humble halal HK dessert place isn't as disappointing. 



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.
