I is for Ice-cream

Because I'm doing the #fmsphotoaday prompt, I got the girls to buy an ice cream to snap this picture. Had a couple of small spoonfuls (still trying to abstain from cold food and drinks) and it's not too bad. Ovaltine flavoured from 8 Fahrenheit at school.

This Christmas ...

Glad that I had a good, short break with hubby last weekend. The weeks before and ahead are crazy! It feels really good to be strolling and drinking coffee on a Monday afternoon :)

Makan_12: Brunetti Pastries and Drinks

Love the tiles

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sugar and Tiles and all things nice :)

Had a day off yesterday and went out with hubby for medical appointment and errands. Popped by Tanglin Mall and decided to try this place.
Honestly, I wouldn't go back again for the pastries and drinks. I don't like how my Ice Cafe Latte was made and the cakes were just so so. Maybe it's just my cheese cake. But I would like to try their meals. It looks reasonable and it's a nice place to hang out to relax.

Makan_12: Chock Full of Beans and a smily Face!

Went to visit granny on Sat and decided to pop by this little cafe as it was featured in the papers. Love the vibe of the place, very nice place to hang out on a Saturday. Thankfully it wasn't crowded and the 3 of us mansged to get a nice seat.

We shared the Chicken salad, Strawberry Shortcake and I had a Ice Latte while mummy had the green ginger tea.

Wishing that it wasn't so far away.... not too sure when I will return.

Makan_12 : Tiong Bahru Bakery

Apple crumble, Lemon tart and chocolate croissant. And a glass of Iced Latte

Zesty Lemon Tart

Olive Bread and Guacamole Bread. Ice Coffee with milk

Finally made a trip to Tiong Bahru bakery at 56 Eng Hoon Street to check out the fuss. Really crowded on a Sunday afternoon but the friendly waiter ensured that we got a seat pretty fast.

So many stuff to try. Would like to go back again and try their sandwiches. Pricey though at $8.
Overall the pastries are good. Environment can get pretty noisy.

Something old @ Tiong Bahru

I was out with mummy the other day for a yummy lunch at the market. We had Lor Mee and I had cravings for Mee Chiam Kueh (peanuts snacks). I let mummy reminisced about living in Blk 81. She showed me her old flat and was telling  me stories about her childhood. Later, I brought her to 40 hands and we sat under the fan whilst enjoying our flat white.

Look what we found in East Coast (it's on the corner of Joo Chiat/East Coast)! Mooshi Bakes! I got really excited because it's another of my namesake. so cute! And I was attracted to the decor. We tried the bananarama (too little fillings) and cream puff (not worth the price of $3.90, Tampopo Deli is better).

Will come by again and try the gooey bun and chicken pie (hopefully it will taste good).

Celebrating mummy's Birthday

Today my mummy turns *ahem* in her fifties. We had an early birthday celebration for her at Wan Hao, Sg Marriot Hotel.

We had a feast eating dim sum and it's worth every penny!


Clockwise from left: Braised beef tendons with radish (so good and tender), 烧肉(BBQ pork), yam cake with 香肠(Chinese sausage) and 虾交 (prawn dumplings )


Chicken with frog leg and Chinese sausage


Salmon and Garoupa Siew Mai


Clockwise from left: Fish congee, deep fried enoki mushrooms (I can't remember what else is in there), coffee pork and prawn and beancurd in ma la sauce


Clockwise from left: Chinese bai cai, bass fish fillet with Nonya sauce, 上汤水交 ( dumplings in soup) and an assortment of custard bun, gyoza,chicken Siew Mai, pork bun.

There's also a yam pastry with minced meat and shrimp paste and char Siew pastry (not pictured)

We walked around Orchard and bought a bag for mummy. I was disappointed to find the Japanese shop selling delicate pastries and Mochi no longer at Takashimaya B2, near Cold Storage. They had such pretty stuffs!

We moved on to GWC and shared a spicy tuna pasta and ceaser salad amongst us at Coffee Bean.

Today we bought a strawberry shortcake and sang "Happy Birthday!"
Wishing mummy good health and happiness always!

Much Love Monday: My red blankie

Christmas is over. Despite the festivities, I'm feeling a little down and bleah...

it will pass.

I'm loving my red blanket.. it's a comfort really to be snuggled in it watching NCIS and Bones on TV, with a book and when it is wet and rainy outdoors and I'm all warm and cosy in its warm embrace.

I'm also loving dried figs and apple tea from Turkey.

Much Love Monday

Sweets and candies and all things nice

the beef taste much better than it looks

gift swap. pretty bling bling bag charm but I've got no where to hang it.

simply love this cat necklace. Oh E, you know me so well :)

an assortment of gifts from work. these people are so sweet. 

if only my boss is sweet. hah! even my boss's boss gave me a present.

I feel bad, I didn't get anything for them :(

handmade sweets from the company. pretty colours.

X'mas day was spent at Ron's place. No pictures were taken.. too caught up with all the food and kids. There is a picture of the cupcakes we brought in, but it's still in my camera.. need to transfer it over. will post it if I remember. really pretty.
