H and I decided to go to Wild Honey today to try the much talked about all day breakfast set and we were taken aback at the massive crowd waiting at their doors when we reached at 10am.  The wait was about 20 mins to get a table and the food came shortly after.

Very nice ambience and service but really ain't cheap.  These sets costs us $18 a pop...

 

Tuscan Breakfast set - stewed tomatoes and sausages with french toast.

 

 That's mine - 3 pancakes with bacon and raspberry compote.  The pancakes were really thick and i only manged 1.5 pieces.  Had the last one packed for my breakfast tomorrow :)

They're really not too bad if you want a new place to visit or to bring overseas friends but on my own, i doubt we will be back there any time soon..really not pocket friendly!

Thereafter, H and we went to watch Real Steel (Super good movie!  Especially if you're one of those who love to see underdogs win a fight..very touching..loved it) and stumbled upon this really nice cafe at Cineleisure.  The cafe marries the love for bubble tea with handburgers and finger food. Perfect for people like me who will give almost any new bubble tea store a try.

I tried a new flavour - Apple Grapefruit at the recommendation of the guy who took my order and boy, I realy LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!  At the first sip, I was completely sold.  The nice soft apple flavour juxtaposed with quaint grapefruit, topped with aloe vera bits is a complete winner. I'm still kicking myself for not getting a large cup as I've just drank the last drop as i wrote the last paragraph. Now, I'm eagerly anticipating my next trip down town so I can get my hands on another dose of this heavenly goodness.  Yummy!  Do give them a try if you're at Cineleisure and I heard they have branches at Tg Pagar and Esplanade.



Tonight, the Lees headout for our favourite long lost teochew porridge at Joo Chiat.  Perfect for a rainy day.  Can't wait.

Happy holiday everyone!  I love Deepavali!

Saying goodbye

A few colleagues are leaving us next year and I was asked to make some farewell gifts for them..Pretty glad to help EL dept out as it gave me a great opportunity to craft and also get rewarded for it!

For Heryati:  A really sweet and classy lady :)  We will miss you lot!

For Yee Ann, one of the nicest guy I've known..he practically has no evil bone in him and is always so obliging and nice.  I suggested a travel theme for him and the folks at EL readily agreed!  I think a travel theme is really very apt for someone who is leaving for greener pastures.  Very glad to use my OA Boarding Pass papers that I've hoarded since I bought them last month.  Had some inspiration to put some tickets on the cover for him to detach (if he ever will)..just for the fun of it..

Thanks for dropping by..as always..I'm grateful for all you faithful friends who drop by to say hi each time :)

Cheers!

Long overdue

I've had this layout for some time but never really got down to taking photos.  I am still bad at this photo thing - somehow adjusting the focus and all is not really my forte, much as I try.  I figured that asking H to teach me is like me trying to teach him how to cook so I think it's best we each stick to what we are good at!  At least I can whip up decent meals and am able to match up to his high standards for food.  Thanks to him, I have perfected the timing for cooking succulent, springy and soft meatballs and fishing them out just on time. PHEW!

 H and me, taken at mum's birthday.  Featuring Bo Bunny's Gabrielle collection

 Closer look at the flowers..

 Another layout I did for dad, featuring a photo of his 2 bao beis.  Figured it would be nice to make him something he can hang in his office..

Close up - Love this new line from Echo Part - Times and Seasons.

Thanks for dropping by and sticking with me despite my no show for 2 weeks.  End of year marking is just over - i will have more time to drop by!

Cheers!
