Chye Seng Huat Hardware (CSHH) @Jalan Besar

You could never tell a cafe is in here!

You could never tell a cafe is in here!

We were at this area for a book launch (very proud of Ms V’s daddy :D) and decided to all pop by for drinks and desserts.

What a crowded place on a Saturday afternoon!! Completely packed and slightly chaotic within the air-conditioned area, we had to make do with outdoor seats on a sunny afternoon…

Enjoyed the music, but it was a very noisy place with people shouting at one another over the music. Not suitable for chilling on weekends perhaps? While we find the place quite interesting, it was really too noisy for our liking, and the fans at the outdoor seating area were simply insufficient.

Taipei Trip Day 2 (Saturday) – Addiction Aquatic Development, Yehliu, Coffee Alley, Gongguan Night Market

Posted on 14 September 2013 by lendeliz

Slept in and went for late breakfast at 姜太太包子店 , this time getting a 韭菜肉包 (chives pork bun – loved the aroma of chives!) and 雪里红肉包 (pickled potherb mustard pork bun – the veggie was slightly bitter and crunchy), as well as the soya bean drink (slightly burnt taste today).

Addiction Aquatic Development

Addiction Aquatic Development

Took MRT to 捷運中山國中站 Zhongshan MRT Station, cross the road to take Bus #74 till terminal and walked less than 5min to reach 上引水產 (Addiction Aquatic Development). Actually we could have taken the bus from Zhongxiao Fuxing too but we didn’t know that till we checked out the bus route. Not much savings in time when comparing taking MRT for 2 stations and taking the bus directly (about 10 min bus ride between the 2 MRT stations).

Simply Decorated

Simply Decorated

With some time to spare after watching the musical Next to Normal by Pangdemonium, and before meeting our friends, we decided to go la kopi 🙂

Strolling along Purvis Street, we saw this little Kooka Cafe with a single outdoor table. Inside this cozy little cafe, there were about 10 tables or so. There’s this very relaxed feel about this place, great place to just chill out and enjoy your drinks!

The Fabulous Baker Boy @River Valley

Posted on 5 September 2013 by weiming

It’s a wonderful day and I finally met up with The Fabulous Baker Boy!!

Have been reading and seeing sooo many yummy photos on Instagram about TFBB so I have to try it out. So on this day, on a rainy Thursday afternoon, after running around finishing final errands for our upcoming Taipei trip, I finally found TFBB at the foothill of Fort Canning Park!

It’s really located in a very obscure corner of the park (find your way to Liang Court and TFBB is just opposite in the park, though you need to find the entrance to walk in to the park in the first place!) and the decor is really unpretentious and simple. It’s alfresco dining with lots of fans around to blow the heat away. But what caught my eyes were the rows of yummilicious cakes that were displayed on the cake shelves!

GRUB @Bishan Park 1

Very unique queuing system

Very unique queuing system

We decided to come here after hearing so much about this place since it opened its doors from May 2013.

There is to be no queuing at the restaurant. Instead, you gotta click for a queue number on a tablet, supply your name and mobile number, and you will be notified via a call when a table is ready for you. You can also check out the URL sent to you via SMS to find out how many tables are ahead of you. We ended up hanging around the restaurant (around the ‘Please do not queue’ signboard no less…) because it was drizzling, and this is the sole building around…

La Ristrettos Coffee Boutique

Little hide-out in Novena Medical Centre

This is a little hide-out on the 8th floor of Novena Medical Centre, with limited indoor and outdoor seating. Its actually quite lovely to sit outdoors with the huge overhead umbrella and greenery surrounding you when the weather is not too hot.

This little joint serves sandwiches and pasta, and of course, coffee! Heard that the coffee is excellent, but since I’m a tea-drinker, can’t comment on this =p

Crab and Angel Hair Pasta

Had the crab and angel hair pasta today. Tangy with a little heat from the small chillies, and hint of alcohol from the white wine sauce, it was a very delicious meal, worth the 20-min wait… it certainly brightened up my day =)
