Attempted to bake some Hong Kong style portuguese egg tarts a few days back. Followed a YouTube video and it came out decently well. So proud of myself :> Look at the flaky crust, I'm glad it turned out fine! My parents love it and I'm happy too. :D I only can do this when I am very free because it takes like 2h+ to bake everything!


Had a foodie trip on Thursday. Visited a total of 3 places just to EAT. So it was eating and eating the whole day, what's new? Can someone ask me out to do something else other than eating? Like cycling, visiting a zoo, shopping or something.

First stop: Table Manners @ Changi City Point.
I always wanted to go to this place after reading some blogs! Personally I was very interested in the lunch menu rather than dinner. For lunch, you can actually mix and match your food and this option is not available for dinner. For example, 2 greens + 1 meat or 1 green + 2 meat. I like to customize my food so I can pick everything I feel like eating. Quite a wide variety to choose from! I had 2 greens which are aglio olio and pumpkin salad with a meat which is salmon with garlic butter sauce, $13.50 before tax. I feel that is quite affordable and the portion was just right. I would want to go back again to try other dishes!


Second stop: Chye Seng Huat Hardware
Heard so much about this place so finally it's my turn to try! They are supposed to be good for coffee but I'm currently abstaining from caffeine so I got hot chocolate ($6.50) instead. Omg it's so freaking expensive but I still got it anyway because there wasn't much alternatives. The hot chocolate was average, I wouldn't pay $6.50 for it again. Bought a cranberry pistachio tea cake ($3) to go along with my drink. The cake was not bad and I like the banana cake too but didn't take a picture of it. We were supposed to chill over books that we brought but we ended up chatting the afternoon away.


Third stop: Swee Choon Dim Sum
It was my first time visiting swee choon because nobody ever jio-ed me there for dinner/supper. Sigh. Anyway I finally got to try it! I didn't know they have an air-conditioned area, all along I thought it's like a coffeeshop. HAHA okay I super suaku. Ordered only a few dishes like har gao, siew mai, xiao long bao and liu sha bao! All were very yummy! Definitely going back again, probably will ask my family along so I can get a free car ride. It's so inaccessible!

Finally got to K, and I did it for 6 hours straight. Honestly in the past it would be no kick to me, but this time, I felt so so tired. I needed to take breaks in between and I felt like I was straining my throat. When I left, my voice was hoarse. Omg the result of not singing for 4.5 months.

Had dinner at Old Airport Road, I am a lousy Eastie! I've only visited Old Airport Road only twice so far! D introduced me some prawn noodles, it wasn't too bad but I still prefer the one opposite TJ. I like my noodles and soup separate.

Went to Out of the Pan at Raffles City Shopping Centre for some waffles and crepes. Supposed to try Tiong Bahru Bakery as well but we didn't in the end. The waffles and crepes was super worth it because there is 1 for 1 if you pay by POSB card, the bill totalled to only about $12 per person for 2 waffles and 2 crepes! :D

Seafood jungle crepe. The waitress recommended this to us because we couldn't decide but it was alright only. 


Peking duck crepe. Picked this after I read some reviews online. This is a must try! I like it :D


Chocolate waffles with pear ice cream. My first time trying pear ice cream and it was not bad. Desserts never fail. 


Banana split waffles with chocolate ice cream and strawberry sorbet. The chocolate ice cream was good! I like the presentation of the dessert as well. I would go back for more because 1 for 1 is really super worth it!

I finally visited a brunch cafe in Singapore! I have always wanted to try eggs benedict last time but didn't have the chance and I left for exchange. Then I got to try my virgin eggs benedict in Canada. I think I had enough of eggs benedict in Canada and I could even make them myself! Not really craving for it, but I still decided to try the ones in Singapore. Introduced it to my mum and bro as well. I won't be surprised if my parents don't know what eggs benedict is, but my bro doesn't know either omg. And surprisingly my dad knows and he said he had them everyday in Australia! HAHA amazing. So anyway I brought them to Chock Full of Beans which is located in Changi Village. The eggs benny was okay only, I had much better ones in Canada! Love the latte art though, it's so cute!




Had dinner at Bedok 85! Okay I said I didn't crave for them in the previous post, but I still went ahead since it just opened. Hello unhealthy and oily food. Need to stop my parents from eating too much of such stuff!










I can't wait to go for a K session, I really miss singing.
