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.
This was 2 weekends back, where the night was filled with laughters, incessant nonsense and catching up with that friend whom we all haven't met in ages. 



Strangers' Reunion for desserts cause Wimbly Lu was too far from town. 



And well, Strangers' Reunion's waffles never made me miss Wimbly Lu's waffles any lesser. It was good enough, minus the comparison part.

We find ourselves being caught up in the time affair, puzzled over why time never fails to change things. Be it relationships, mindsets, opinions, the food we grow to like or detest, the paths we chose to take, etc. So many changes, both in the past and future. We're all puppets in front of time because aside from moving along with it, what else can we do? Rewind or pause or fast forward? Nah, none of the above. Like I've said, we're merely puppets. But, one thing is for sure, no one should be able to stand in the way of how we choose to spend our time, unless we allow them to. We can't be puppets of everything, can we? 
 The common interest of ours is savouring food that delights our taste buds. Being gourmet frantics, we love to discover food places in this tiny red dot which we've not been before and of course revisiting places that are etched onto our favorite food memories logbook.

Last weekend, Jln Riang was our hangout place for dinner & not forgetting desserts. Fat Cat Bistro, if you're clueless, is a bistro which operates in a hawker centre style where there are a fusion of Thai, Indian & European cuisines.

Each of the cuisines is individually handled by different chef at their own individual space as you can see from the picture below.

Thai
Eggs of the son-in-law which is a must order as it's the only egg dish that's available on the menu so Redbull being an egg lover, eggs must be ordered! The eggs are normal hard boiled eggs with special thai sauce. An average dish with an innovative name.


My beef thai fried rice which smells & tastes correspondingly appealing.

Fried calamari which is crispy on the outside and tenderly juicy on the inside. Love these calamari but not the dipping sauce but thankfully for the butter chicken sauce that was the perfect replacement dipping sauce.

Like my main dish, Redbull's garlic naan with butter chicken is amazingly tasty too! The crabmeat tofu was a letdown as the crabmeat tastes like, disdainful chicken. 

Exceeding my expectations for a hawker center bistro selling combined cuisines, Fat Cat Bistro delivers different tasty cuisines at affordable prices.  

Just 2 doors down from Fat Cat is the dessert place I've been wanting to visit for more than 6 months, Wimbly Lu.

Look at the Q! We were in line for more than half an hour & if not for us being duo (most of them came in groups), our legs would have to withstand more standing.

 Quirky & noticeably cheerful decorations.




Takeaway for chocolates. Yes, Wimbly Lu is the place for chocolate lovers. Coincidentally, ALL the flavors of the chocolate balls are my favorites, it's as if they are specially made for me. Rum & raisins, baileys, salted caramel, milo. All my favorites!!!


Was contemplating between this (root beer cake) and waffles because both of them are highly recommended. Chose the former as I was too full from the dinner to have the waffles. Rich & moist chocolate cake goes perfectly well with root beer and it makes me wonder why hasn't anyone discovered this perfect combination in the past? What a pity that we've all been missing out on this!

Highly sought after molten lava cake. Unlike the usual lava cake, Wimbly Lu's doesn't come with an ice-cream but fret not, you can always get an additional scoop of your desired ice-cream. 

Like many others who've tried this, we declare this to be the BEST molten lava cake we've ever tried. This is definitely not the mainstream lava cake elsewhere, you've got to get a taste of it to experience the 'mouthgasm'. This is equally good for chocolate lovers as it is for those who don't fancy going for chocolates that are too sweet.

From that day onwards, someone has undeniably became a Wimbly Lu's Die-hard fan.

"I would bring you anywhere to eat at anytime as long as you want to. Don't you know that?"

Others say 'you don't know what you have until you lose it' but I can't relate to this saying as well as I can to 

'I don't know what others are capable of giving to me until you came along and gave me what I've never known that all these have always been what I wanted."
