We could get used to this!

We could get used to this!

Our holiday was ending! Time really flies…

Today was the Kulungan Festival and most of the staff were dressed in their traditional costumes! The ladies seemed to favour brightly coloured clothing and it was a very pretty sight 🙂

We had confirmed that we would be able to have a free late check-out, as our villa was not booked by anyone else. Lucky us! The other couple that we met yesterday was not so lucky, their villa was booked by another couple, so they had to clear out of their villa by 11am. Since we did not have to worry about where to leave our luggage, we decided to go out for some shopping and lunch after our late breakfast.

Bali 2014 Day 3

Day 3 in Bali!

Day 3 in Bali!

We woke up bright and early at 6am to prepare to go to the morning market! Hubby had French Toast with Ham and Egg, while I stuck to Bubur Ayam 😛

We were feeling quite tired because of the lack of quality sleep the night before due to the power trip. And this morning, we discovered that our safety deposit box in the room had malfunctioned (could be because of a weak battery) and we could not unlock it! 😮 Luckily, the staff was very prompt in action and managed to help us retrieve our stuff.

We were assured that the maintenance team would come by and ensure that everything was fine.

Bali 2014 Day 2

Semana Breakfast

Semana Breakfast

We got up at 7am today in anticipation of our half day tour 🙂 and it was quite lovely to have a outdoor shower in the cooling weather! We felt very refreshed 🙂

Breakfast was Bubur Ayam (Chicken Porridge) for me and Balinese Omelette with Herbs, Mushroom, Tomato and Sausage, with wholemeal bread by the side for hubby.  There was an raw egg hidden in the porridge that I was supposed to mix into the porridge, which I realised rather late 😛 But the porridge was yummy! Hubby thought the omelette was decent but not overly fantastic. We also tried the Balinese coffee and tea; the coffee tasted like our kopitiam coffee but I found the tea a bit too weak for my liking. I also enjoyed the fruit platter because of the jackfruit… hehe.

Bali 2014 Day 1

Excited couple!

Excited couple!

We woke up bright and early at 4am to get ready for our 7am flight! Very excited since it was our first trip to Bali, and also because we had absolutely nothing planned, except for whatever that was inside the 4D3N package that we signed up with Villa Semana Resort and Spa :p Why did we choose Bali? Well… Our expiring air miles could only take us to Malaysia or Indonesia, so we thought Bali was a good option for a short getaway 🙂

Our flight departed on time, and being in the first row of economy class meant that hubby had sufficient leg space. Alas, there were no windows in that row… Food was alright; omelette for hubby and ee-fu noodles for me. We also managed to catch about half a movie… Gotta continue during our return flight 😛

Strictly Pancakes @Prinsep Street

Strictly nothing else

Strictly nothing else

We were looking for early dinner and Strictly Pancakes was just around the corner! We arrived at 5.50pm and were the first in the queue… Within the next 10 minutes, the queue was completely filled 😮 was it really so good?

While waiting for the place to open, I used the 10 minutes to surf the web for food recommendations… It appeared that there were very extreme reviews! Seems like food and service were not so great, while some said it was very nice for the first few bites and it was probably difficult for an individual to finish 3 pancakes (medium). With so much advice from the Web, we decided to share the Garlic buttered prawns with Pancakes.

Cafe Pal @Middle Road

We were around the area and had an hour or so to spare… Whipped out our phones to find a nearby cafe, and Cafe Pal showed up as one of the options! This is a cafe that serves modern Thai food, so it seemed quite a waste if we did not try out some of the food!

The cafe has a modern look with a high bar top and a sofa set near the entrance for a more comfortable, relax sit. There is a whole section on bubble teas for takeaways and I suspect this is to cater to the students in the Bugis area. The cafe allows party reservations and you can book the whole place and invite friends over for parties!

Huay Kwang Thai @Upper Thomson

Moo Ka Ta

Moo Ka Ta

It seems that Moo Ka Ta is the current food darling of everyone!

We tried coming here without reservations previously and were told in a rather matter-of-fact manner that the place is usually almost full with reservations. So we got a name card and I very cleverly SMS for reservations close to 6pm today. And there were still seats available for 7.30pm! Good thing that I made reservations; there was only 1 table left for walk-in when I arrived at around 7pm 😮

The Good Trio 三人行 @Thomson Plaza

Posted on 11 April 2014 by lendeliz

This is a new restaurant that just took over the Korean BBQ Chicken and opened recently. Since we don’t know how long it will last, it is best to pay a visit fast! 😛 In fact, we came here twice in the past 2 weeks, you know, just in case…

The first time, we reached the restaurant close to 9pm, and when we asked what time the place was closing, the staff gave a very vague reply “… Depending on customers…” Huh? Too new to decide formal closing time? Anyway, slightly re-assured that we did not have to gobble our dinner in a hurry, we grabbed a book of coupons that was placed near the entrance, and headed in!

[closed] November 8 Café & Company @Thomson V Two

Posted on 6 April 2014 by lendeliz

Note: November 8 Cafe has ceased operations at this location, and opened another one by the name of Five by Five at Thomson V One.

It was a very hot afternoon and we just had an early lunch. Needed a place to chill, and we decided to head to Thomson V, where we recalled that there were a couple of new cafés that we had yet to try.

A small signboard caught our attention, leading us to a rather spacious November 8 Café & Company! The lovely 2-seater sofa with water flowing down the glass window was beckoning to us 🙂

Despite being half-empty, there weren’t enough menus to go around. But we were quickly served with water while waiting. With the atmosphere being so chillax and it was a lazy Sunday afternoon, we didn’t mind the wait 🙂

HKc 港味軒 @nex

Roast Duck Noodle

Roast Duck Noodle

Running out of options at nex and this newly-opened HK café caught our eyes, so we decided to give it a try. The interior is a very typical Hong Kong café but the ordering was not as efficient as you could get in Hong Kong. When we waved at a waitress, she came over reluctantly to collect our order sheet. Then she strolled over to the cashier counter and just passed the sheet to the cashier, who was busy chatting/gossiping with her colleague. She gave us an impression that this was not her job and that the cashier should have come over. Later when the cashier punched in our orders and gave us the summary, I found that one of the items was missing. So I had to walk over the cashier counter to repeat my orders, and she was still chatting/gossiping with her colleagues. Why can’t life be simpler? Continue reading →
