The Tiramisu Hero + Strangers' Reunion + Beach Road Scissor-cut Curry Rice + Soundcard


(VERY rare formal OOTD with my new formal chinos pants which I am digging currently -hahaha my auntie taste :( )

Hey guys, happy weekends! Its sunday, the day everyone dreads since tomorrow will be monday. Ugh I am feeling so lethargic right now. Feel like I have so many things to complete yet I am not doing anything much. Alright I should skip the long whiny introduction here since I have so many things to blog about this week since I have time to finally meet up with some of my besties and do some cafe hopping during the weekdays. 

& Not forgetting the rather fun TGIF w my darlings. Lol did so many embarrassing yet amusing things that night, I was telling twin ppl should do a reality TV on our partying routines. HAHA. & Someone should seriously considering inventing an invention that will help party people all get home without misplacing any of their things or being in one piece. Lol I wouldn't be surprised if I disappeared one day aft club cos I died.


Finally met up with ex bff wenmin (haha shes still one of my bff just that we dont meet up as much compared to last time *stares*) Accompanied her to cathay to do some errands and then we cabbed to one of the newest opened cafe by this blogger, peggy from sixpegs.com


The Tiramisu Hero

121 Tyrwhitt Road
Singapore 207548

11 am to 10 pm 
(Closed on Wednesdays)
near Farrer park & Lavender MRT

Tel: +65 62925271


basically this is a cafe which concept revolves around tiramisu cakes, you'll be able to order and make customization online. They are one of the most nicely decorated cafe in my opinion. I bet they spent loads on the decor. So the ambiance there was nice. Food is a little too pricey for the small portion served, so I guess people pay for the ambiance more than what they serve. Don't think i'll be revisiting the place anytime soon, but the place is worth a visit.




unique way of table number orders.




The mandatory shot with the cafe's mascot, Sir Antonio, the cat. Lol everyone would do these poses! Wenmin has to tip-toe hahaah!



I surrender// watcha' looking at







More decor photos than food. Food was okay. I searched the hashtag of the cafe before I visited, I always do this, so that you can see what are other customer's comments on the dishes there/ what are the more ordered dishes at the dining place.

Had their Truffle Egg Bacon Rolls. Wanted to order another dish, but it was out of stock. And the cashier was like this, left one set. (means it was pre-prepared they just had to heat it up?) The mushroom in this dish goes well with the scrambled egg infused with bacon rolls. Just that the scrambled egg did not taste as good as if it was prepared on the spot, I guess.

Saw reviews of their bangers (some sausages with mash poatatos) & mac & cheese. And they weren't that great. Thats why I went with this less mainstream dish. & The name sounds rather unique w truffles. *.*
After this the assistant little chef came out of the kitchen and we realized she was a friend of wenmin's and she made the mash potatoes and salmon so she claims its good so we should try it next time! (recommended)


 I guess this place is better at serving desserts. A must order; Mommahero (tiramisu in a jar size for one greedier person it claims. But I think its just nice for a person - the portion quite small-) I actually thought the tiramisu was quite decent not as bad or "too little alcoholic taste" as what others commented. You eat cake for the cake or for the alcohol. But then again, comments like those was made because the tiramisu is actually alright but not out-of-the-world-freaking-godlike-good till the cafe is named The TIRAMISU hero.


Was telling wenmin maybe they should change the name of the cafe to the Apple pie crumble hero instead. Their slice of Apple crumble cake topped with vanilla ice-cream tasted really good. Even for wenmin, whom usually doesnt like apple crumbles (she rather eat apple as apple, crumble as crumble) she liked it too. But this was 12.50 SGD which shows even more how pricey the place is compared to some other cafes. Okay, let me rephrase that, it wasn't that pricey just that the portions is too small for the label! I would feel happier paying if the portion is slightly bigger ;)
I bet they spent too much on their very pretty decors!


yum in a jar



We had original, but there are other options & flavors for their tiramisu, so this page of the menu is taken for you! their menu is actually very prettily printed with colored photographs of their selection of food.



First place where the decors were so nice, even until the toilet. hahaha damn cute. The toilet is labelled as "the litter box" and puffballs like these were hanged on the ceilings! All for the cat concept. ^^ too cute.


Sir Antonio's mustache on the mirror?


Waiting for the rain to stop and our ride gloomyyy



sat on this rocking chair outside the cafe 



tried taking photos with the name of the cafe (failed)


Since we were still waiting for the ride as it was still drizzling, we decided to walk to the famous (in the vicinity) 

Beach Road Scissor-Cut Curry Rice
229 Jalan Besar

opens till 3.30 am!
 Supper place next time maybe?

Specializes in hainanese curry mixed rice


diff soups to order on diff days of the week (in chinese)


Price of the mixed ingredients for one person's portion. The menu looks to me number 1- being the most recommended and ordered dish. cos their Pork Belly, Pork Chop (chicken chop), egg, cabbages are a must-order for me there. heh


This is damn good, but since I was busily snapping away, and wenmin ordered. she did not order in the separated plates of the rice from the ingredients for me to capture a nicer photo of the food T.T So our curry rice was stacked just like this. Mixed all together!



but overall it was still a nice day spent with her :*

Strangers' Reunion

33/35/37 Kampong Bahru Road
Singapore 169354
Tel: +65 6222 4869

great place for brunch, WAFFLES, some of their mains, (I really wanted to try their dinner menu, but too bad we came in the afternoon) and coffee. The person who opened the cafe is one of Singapore's top baristas. Talk about latte art. And the buttermilk waffles served here is so raved and makes it to the top five places to serve god-like waffles along with places like Wimbly Lu *salivates*







pretty weishan candid~


and finally a twin 'date'!!!





Ordered Magic, their signature coffee there. Think ryan, the top barista wasn't in that day. But still, pretty latte art. Ordered for the sake of photography. Coffee like this is way too bitter for us. HAHA. I think I drank the most of it already. And not even half..


Their Iced Chocolate with icecream tasted much better..


usual unglam drink shot 


Raved about Lotus Roots Chips which comes with Pineapple Tomato Salsa & Spicy avioli sauces. Not too bad but not as good as I thought it will be. Like eating potato chips dipped in sauce.


their Truffle fries was so much better! Boy I do love the truffle fries here.
Its like as good as the raved about PS cafe Truffle Fries I had before. Both of the appetizers we ordered are quite huge in portion. and its in a standard size. Thus the price, so luckily we came in a three person group, but it would be better to have came in fours!


was trying to take better photos, but twin was like annoying me HAHAHA so the photos came out like these... LOL right hand side for my annoyed face.


Eggs on Toast one of the items on their brunch menu that could be customized. Either have your egg Scrambled like ours with tomato relish sauce/ Poached egg with holandaise sauce on Ciabatta/English muffin/Focaccia/Olive Bread (we had Olive Bread)
top up for more toppings, wanted their sauteed mushrooms, but we forgot to add on!!


Parma Ham Benedict liked this dish!! Bread goes really well with the poached eggs and the parma ham (which usually I dislike) tasted quite good. Tasty combination!!


Last but not least, their famous Buttermilk Waffles with vanilla icecream & fresh fruits. Some people have it with greek yogurt too!! I have too much waffles everywhere all the time, I cant rate them already. HAHAH but it is really good still.


trying to act atas like enjoying the coffee. But in real my face expression was like struggling. 

but still, coffee, tea, or me? HAHA




we got a secret 10 percent discount hiak hehe ;)


TGIF

Kith Cafe + Createaf Waffles + Changi Village Food Centre



Hi guys, happy belated deepavali & this marks the end of the week I guess. So I am slightly more free this weekend & that's when I start thinking alot and wondering on how mundane life is for me. Dont worry, I am not being sad. Just that I have slightly more time on my hands to type out some of my thoughts, has been awhile now. Boy am I glad sometimes I have this space here to rant instead of just keeping things to myself or tell my already occupied friends.

It just hit me when I was drinking my bubble tea yesterday, alone at a water fountain. I choked and i almost died. Choking on a pearl. Alone. hahaha its like quite sad. LOL! Its like my life, it has no aim. I know what my dreams are, but in reality, I am not sure on how to achieve them. I don't want to be just a normal person who got born into the world and died. I want to do something with my life. To me, I either be freaking successful with a dream career. Or have a soul mate whom I really love, alot. Only if I achieve one of these things in my lifespan, my life, it wouldn't be wasted. But then again, sometimes I feel like I am way too locked up, if only someone would/could have the capability of solving me. I am unpredictable, but the other day someone amused me by saying he would want to take me on a flight around singapore - literally - haha always amused by little things like that.

My friend sent me a paragraph from some book the other day. Somehow it signifies where my life is in pieces now. & I am just going to quote it 

"So now you're about to turn twenty and the world hasn't gotten any bigger for you. you're untouched, unloved, unprepared. your parents still pay for your gas. your friends all have internships(in my case relationships) one of them even got cast to be in a movie. you've got all this talent that you don't know how to share. the man at the McDonald's drive-thru held both sides of your hand when he handed you your change and you cried the entire way home. skin burns. you're about to turn twenty and you feel like you're fifteen. you sleep for fourteen hours and you still need a nap. (shit i sleep for 7 hours) the world is shrinking one empty heartache at a time. you're scared you'll never find anyone to love you, not even well. you'll settle for anything. don't. you're about to turn twenty and they never remind you how young that is. falling in love does not make you grow up, heartbreak does. and there is more than one way to fall apart. you're about to turn twenty and its okay if you aren't ready."

Anyways, I got started on this new Korean Drama - The Heirs. Its realllllllly good, and romantic, and perfect. (not forgetting the gorgeous casts) You guys should really watch it. But its so good you'll start to think like me. Compare your life to theirs. haha I know I am being dramatic but I cant help wishfully thinking these things happens in reality.

That got me into thinking, I know its so superficial, but I cant wait to grow older, and do plastic surgery. I would need a smaller face, a higher nose bridge.
*bites lips right?* 
haha I am sorry I am not contented easily nor satisfied. 
But this world, it taught me
only the strong survive.


Alright, shall stop my thoughts there for a min and so some short updates for the week.
Like really short heh. Wednesdate with my TWO of my fav peeps in the world. As usual, I found a place and after accompanying jon for his birthday present buying secret mission, where he was so stressed he ate all my candies *stares* we went and had dinner at

Kith Cafe
#01-01E, Park Mall
9 Penang Road

Daily: 8 am to 10 pm
Tel: 63388611

Better to make reservations because this cosy cafe we visited usually gets quite crowded during break timings. This outlet is at Douby Gaut, they have another at Robertson Quay.


Nice Al-fresco outdoor dining option we had to settle for since we didn't make any reservations. :(





The place is recommended for brunches, and some of their breakfast menu specialty like Big breakfast isn't available after 5pm sadly. So we had lesser variety that night to choose from.

So I would be back, for the brunch items since the ambiance there and food served is really rather decent. 


Set lunches and today's specialties.


big brother one -Junjie


and the unhappy me cause my phone hanged (explains the shabbily taken photographs taken by me aka the annoyed camera person of the night) and really couldn't unlock for quite some time until JJ had to press both the power off button and the main button tgt to reset it. Luckily it worked. You would have understood my crankiness when you cracked your previous phone before the previous phone you previously lost. (two phones in 3 months)


and my dear jon who looks retarded here hahaha


and he doesnt wanna take a photo with me anymore


Food tasted better than how it looks, since we dined outdoors with really bad lightings.

Crab Pasta
Linguine, crabmeat, garlic, chilli, cherry tomatoes.

Tasted really good, best out of the three pastas for the night, even JJ agrees. Very generous with the portions of crabmeat. Finished it till the plate was clean.


Beef Pasta
With beef tenderloin cubes, garlic, chilli, parmesan, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, mushroom

Quite the recommended pasta but somehow it just tasted slightly bland that night? Maybe cause of the choice of pasta we switched it to, it was supposedly meant for spaghetti, but we had it with penne instead. So you guys can try it in spaghetti I would recommend :/ and not have switched it like us. Beef was well marinated though.


Mushroom Aglio Olio

Decent, how wrong can aglio olio get?


Lastly, saving the best for the last
Smoked Salmon Pizza

Would have tried another flavor, since I had tried the one at 
Bella Pizza (read the post here < the place serves one of the best pizzas exclaimed by ladyironchef) 
but the guys wanted this so. yup. But it really tasted very good as well. Like bella pizza's! or I can't really compare. hahaha



omg I would kill to have a slice of this now.



For desserts after dinner by the saying of "never too full for desserts" went to this in the vicinity

Createaf Waffles
#01-02 The Cathay
2 Handy Road

Sun - Thurs: 12 pm to 10 pm
Fri & Sat: 12 pm to 12 am


& it certainly did not disappoint! would be back here again, since they have promotions going on which is rather "creative" like its tag phrase. 

They are not as well known as other cafes which serves raved waffles in Singapore, but what we had was really good. Ordered Vanilla, rum & raisin (damn awesome I loved it), macadamia, hazelnut flavored ice-cream with the waffles (usually I would have ordered more colored ice-cream for the sake of the photo but im with guys, so oh wells) anyways the icecream certainly all didn't disappoint.

Would be back, esp when the waitress told me that their specialty was actually the Banana Chocolate Waffle 


If I can recall, this waffle stack of icecream was around 15 bucks.


brunch at the usually changi village hawker near to my place with the cousin this morning.

Actually was thinking of going to town to catch a movie and eat some nice food today. Since I was free. But most of my friends are busy or attached. And I really didn't want to go out with any strangers, or people I dont feel comfortable with. So maybe my life is quite sad after all haha sigh. byeeeeee
