Welcome to the neighborhood (market)!

Hi Tin!

Today we had our usual weekend jaunt to the market for economic bee hoon and we happen to pass by your soon-to-be new place. So I thought of taking a few pictures to show you the oh so famous bee hon and your neighborhood market!

Froyo = love

Frozen yohgurt makes me happy!

Because the first one I tried was when I was with Anna, during our special sleepover session last December 2009.

Because I eat at Red Mango in Eastwood with my sisters.

Because Frolick is our (mine and Wen's) pick me up dessert when we feel bad (apart from Bakerzin macaroons)

Because I was sad one day then Jeff and Bob brought me to the newly opened Red mango in Orchard Scape Youth Park.

Because Bob and I would pop by to the nearby Swirl Art for our "impromptu dates"

And because Peyton likes it as much as I do!

care for some tea?

Dearest Anna,

Remember I told you about this tea place that I want for us to try out? It's TWG at ION Orchard.

The place is small and cozy and has an old English feel. Perfect for an afternoon of catching up over tea and some pastries.


But I have to confess, their tea selection is overwhelming. I think one pot would be enough for us to share but choosing that right kind of tea is akin to choosing the perfect outfit to wear on a first date. It'll either make or break our afternoon....

Or maybe not. The reason why I want to bring you to this place is for us to have some quality time together. Catching up. Talking about our families, and our friends. Our hopes, our frustrations, our secrets. And eating! Did I ever thank you for introducing me to the world of frozen yoghurt?

I liked the time we spent together last December and hopefully, we get to do it again soon. Once a year is too infrequent, don't you think? Come over to Singapore as soon as you can. It'll be my treat at TWG. :)

Maybe we'd have two or more pots of tea to last us all throughout our stories.

I miss you,
Sara

More food posts!

Berg's @ Far East Square for yummy burgers. Try it out on a weekend to avoid the crowd. Fries are kid-friendly -- big thick chunks without too much salt :)

And for good Greek food, there's Mykii @ Holland Village. Was too hungry to take pictures of what we had, so next time! :)

Happiness in ramen form

Shio ramen from Men tai, along Robinson Road. We had to take a 20 minute cab ride, then queue for another 15 minutes for this. But we were badly needing happy food. And this is worth the effort. :-)

I heart Gelatissimo!

One of the reasons why we live where we live – proximity to our favorite eating places, one of which is this ice cream place in Orchard (Shaw House). As it is only six bus stops away, getting ice cream is becoming one of our after dinner rituals.

When in diet mode, I go for their 100% fat-free fruity sorbets with mango and rock melon as top favorites

But when I'm being true to myself, I go for their chocolate flavors, with choco banana as my first choice. Its not so bad being 90% fat free, hehe.



here's the view from where we enjoy our ice cream....

The ION is alive!

Bad, bad Muji!

their snacks are so addictive!

Pictured below is their Corn snack covered with chocolate. Parang sosyal na Moby (not sure if anyone remembers it)!

They have a number of chocolate covered snacks, my favorites include chocolate covered cornflakes (parang choco flakes from Baguio) and chocolate covered (dried) strawberries.

Muji is at Marina Square, Paragon and ION Orchard.

and my fixation for jap food continues...

Its been around for while now, but only last friday did we get to try the Japanese restaurant in Wheelock Place,
Sun with Moon Japanese Dining and Cafe . So happy we did coz we liked everything that we ordered!

Starting off with cheese pork age -- breaded cheese cubes wrapped with pork

I was craving for ramen so I tried theirs. The soup was richer than my favoite Men Tai ramen (along Robinson Road), but it was goooood.

Bob had wagyu steak (I am ordering this the next time!)

And of course, dessert! I forgot what its called but I'll probably order this again. Meant to be shared.

Check it out if you haven't! Its on the 3rd flr of Wheelock Place, Orchard Road.

This makes me happy!

Ok, i should have taken a picture before i started eating but i was so hungry and excited that i forgot,hehe. Coming from another client site and before heading off to the faraway land of Jurong, i passed by California Pizza Kitchen along Orchard for lunch.

It's CPK's Miso salad with grilled chicken. Yum!!!

I am not the only one!

I am not the only one in dire need of good food. This guy finished off three rice bowls!



Pepper Lunch is happiness!

Sunday morning at the (Holland) Village

My craving for happy food continues.

We think the one at Holland Village is the nearest, so we strapped our little girl in her stroller and we headed over to Holland Village for breakfast.

After breakfast we walked around a bit, although most of the places were still closed, including our suki, Parisilk -- best prices in town for electronics (promise!)

We passed by this extensive magazine stall where Bob picked up a French FHM - he's learning the language, he explains, and the magazine should help him. (Right.)



Of course the little girl was B-O-R-E-D. hehe.

Cant wait for the Circle line to open!

Can ya blame me?

For wanting good food on a late friday night?

It was late for me and Bob (10pm) because I left the client site late, and an even later dessert (12mn!) but good food is A MUST to unwind and relax. Especially since I have weekend work to uhm, look forward to.

So we trekked over to Holland Village (because we already know we'll be having dessert there) and discovered Foster's, a small nondescript English Pub, decently full of locals for a Friday evening. Place looks like every English Pub wannabe in Singapore, drinks selection is just okay (no beer on tap, only in can) but we just loved the food that we ordered! Bob had steak and mushroom pie while I had pepper steak (hehe, hungry).

Their Menu

My pepper steak

Then they gave us SGD5.00 voucher for next visit -- we're definitely using it! (I think Bob got envious of my steak)

Afterwards, the real reason why we were in the area, we had Haagen Daz Ice Cream fondue for dessert! Ths is like our second in the last 7 days. The Filipina waitress actually remembered us and when we left, she said, "See you next week!"

Happiness!

We shared the fondue this time with The Luvs (who are commemorating their last week as legal singles, they'll be having their ROM next weekend).

Speaking of ROM, their's is actually the first that I'll be witnessing in my almost 4 years here in Singapore so I am curious about it. ROM actually stands for (Singapore's) Registry of Marriages but the locals use it to refer to a solemnization ceremony.
