Nom Nom!

Celebrated Liling's birthday at Tea Cosy last Sunday!
Its at Plaza Singapura, level 5, beside Spotlight.
Decor wise, I thought they spent quite a huge effort on it. It was quite well decorated.
With the statues and figurines all over the shop.

This is my dinner then. Something chicken toasted sandwich, with chips.
Nothing spectacular about the dish. Alvin taught me to eat the sandwich with the chips, it did gave me a new experience and taste of the sandwich. But overall, the food didn't have any WOW factor that will draw me back for it.

Then we headed to PAUL's again.

 Look at the desserts we ordered! I love all of them! The fruit tarts tastes like egg tarts filling though. The lemon custard tasted too sour, but I quite fancy sour stuff, so it was alright. Furthermore, the desserts were all sweet stuff, so the sour dessert sort of neutralize the sweetness a bit. The cake was something walnut, which was offered to us cos some of the items we ordered was out of stock. It was not bad, with some walnuts in between the cake. And it wasn't that sweet afterall. My favourite among all these was the chocolate tart at the far end! The chocolate is dark chocolate! It wasn't that sweet, and it tasted a little bitter, which makes it more edible (imagine eating a whole chocolate tart that is so sweet). And I love dark chocolate too! So it was a pleasant dessert spree!!

Oh, and this arrived late. Creme bulee. The caramel on top was too too too sweet for me to handle. The "cream" below was alright, tasted like runny egg tart. Haha. But it was not that bad too.

I discovered a new favourite drink! I went to eat Lai Lai again after gym.
Had their set lunch ($6.90) and it comes with a freeze. I chose red bean freeze!
It tasted like Potong ice cream, red bean flavor! It was really nice!!
I'll return to try their green bean freeze soon! I feel that it's comparable to the red bean soy shake sold in Jolliebean. Both have their own unique taste which attracts me! I LOVE RED BEANS!

 my new favorite!

The black pepper chicken chop. The black pepper was not hot at all. So it was bearable for me.
The portion was quite huge. And with the drink, you will definitely feel full!

Finally

I am finally slightly more free after completing some tests.

 This shop sells some exploding cream puffs!! I tried their durian puffs!! You must really gobble the whole puff in a mouth, if not the durian filling will drip out!! I tried the first one and the filling flew out of the puff!! Wasted! I tried the second puff in one mouth, the filling just exploded in my mouth!! And it's nice!!! 

I ate the puff quite some time ago and it's definitely worth mentioning.

Anyway, before tuition yesterday, I went to get this smoothie from Berrylite, a yoghurt shop in Novena Square. For $6.50 I got two small cups of smoothie because it's one-for-one Wednesday. If I only paid $6.50 for a cup of smoothie I would think that it's super not worth the money.

The smoothie tasted alright, quite thick, which is to my liking. But there were ice bits inside which makes it difficult to suck it up. And the portion is too small. I tried the kiwi and mango smoothie, two separate ones. I would go back for it only if the portion is bigger. $6.50 for a small cup is way too expensive, and not satiating.

Morning adrenaline rush!

It was 530am in the cold, raining morning when my parents and brother woke up. The flight was 720am. First thing that came to mind was "OMG!". Couldn't get a cab through phone, luggage couldn't be closed, dad couldn't find his specs. Everyone was in a frantic mode. Everything happened way too fast, as though we were fleeing some war ground. Within 10min, they left home for the airport, and silence set in once again. My brother left for US for his internship, and will be back in 3 months time.
