Hello!
I havent been blogging for a really long time have i? (as usual) =/ But at least im back, like finally after much procrastination. Hehe
So anyways, i've got good news! I've finally cleared my modules and have graduated from UOL! Ok, not really graduated la since the graduation ceremony's like next yr. Didnt do well though (as compared t my friends) but at least i passed and have a cert. I'm really happy and glad i almost cried when i saw my results, like my hard work finally paid off! But of course i felt a lil sad aft tt cos i missed by a lil t have done better, and by a lil i meant like 1 or 2 marks kinda little! Sigh, i guess the examiners are really sadistic, like what's new? ): But oh well, at least it's over. IM DONE W SCHOOL. I doubt i'll ever go back t studying again, cos it's sucha torture!
***
And yeap, im back from my TW trip for like a mth (oh i just realised it's exactly a mth! how time flies...). But i think i'll prob blog about TW some time later cos im not done sorting out the pics yet (too lazy), and there's wayyyy too many t blog about.
So... i shall blog on part of the 'we're back in SG' part first instead. Nth much actually, just eat and nua and watch drama w the boy almost everyday, since he was enlisting soon and we wanted t spend some quality time tgt. Managed t strike off quite a few places from my to-go list!
#1: Roadhouse
 |
| Been wanting t come here for ages cos i always see pics of burgers and brunches from Roadhouse and they look really yummy! |
 |
| Crispy buttermilk onion rings, $10. Kinda disappointing cos we thought it'd be like the usual thick onion rings. |
 |
| High on shrooms, $25. This was pretty decent, but the best burger still goes t Omakase! Plus the price is about the same. |
 |
| Breakfast of champions, $24. I always cant resist burgers w egg and bacon! |
 |
| S'more ice cream cake, $12. I've always wanted t try making s'mores but didnt manage t find graham crackers only until recently! Shall try making it soon. This is good for sharing cos it's pretty big and filling, considering tt we're pretty full from our burgers. But it was so good we finished it! |

#2: Strangers Reunion
 |
| I've been here before but not at their new location, so i brought the boy there cos i thought the food was pretty good the first time i went there. |
 |
| But... It was kind of a disappointment. I think i liked their old menu better, despite seeing lotsa good reviews on the new menu as well. Idk if we ordered the wrong stuff or what. The spam fries tasted more like luncheon meat than spam, really regretted not ordering truffle fries. The wagyu beef sliders were abit dry. Ordered Magic and it didnt taste as good as the first time either. The only thing we liked was prob the waffles, ironically sth tt was from the old menu. =/ The new menu's also alot more ex, not as affordable and no more sandwiches! ): |
 |
| Ootd for the day: Top from TW (also available on jocobana), shorts and sandals also from TW. |

#3: Baker & cook
 |
| Finally here! Another 'been wanting t come for a long time' place. |
Didnt order brunch tt day cos i wasnt really hungry (appetite kinda shrunk aft i came back from tw) and was craving for sth light and sweet.
But, it was a big mistake. ):
The au pain chocolat was cold, i thought it's a norm t heat it up but they didnt. The mille feuille tasted pretty weird, different from the usual ones we've had. Only the lemon tart was good. And it was also one of the reasons i've been wanting t visit. Even bf liked it, considering he's not a fan of lemon tarts at all.

| Please do take note of the notice! |
The best time t visit THW is prob in the morning before they even open. It's better t wait 1hr than come later and wait longer right? Haha. But i've heard tt if you're lucky you could get a seat w less than 20mins wait!
 |
| What we ordered for 3! |
 |
| Do note tt there's a limit for the baked bun w BBQ pork. We misunderstood what they meant and thought they meant 3 portions per pax, but they actually meant 3pcs (which is 1 portion) per pax. Wanted t tabao home for our parents but could only get 1 more portion in the end since we've alrd ordered 2. ): |
 |
| They couldnt resist the food so they ate first before every dish we ordered came. Lol |
 |
| The must order dish! And prob the reason why we'll return t THW. I've read reviews tt the standard of THW in SG isnt as good as HK's so i havent had really high expectations about the food. But surprisingly, the buns were as good as those we had in HK! |
The chee cheong fun was a lil too thick. And the rest were just normal. Bf said the chicken feet was good though. He's the only one who eats tt cos both paul and i dont like it. Lol. He's weird like my mum, they like t eat food tt have lots of bones. -.-
 |
| The queue became this long after we've finished eating. Quite normal i guess? It's always this long whenever i walked pass. Haha |

#5: New Udon Thai Food
Yup! I finally satisfied my mookata cravings! Been craving for it for like foreverrrr. Kept bugging bf t go w me and he finally did!
Didnt take any pics besides this cos i took a video and posted it on IG instead, but idk why i cant seem t post it here.
Im not sure if they have sets for you t choose from like the one we had in BKK, cos they didnt ask us what we wanted and came t the table w this. So i guess it's just a standard set for all unless you wanna add more meat and stuff? But it was damn good! It comes w vege, tanghoon and 2eggs as well. I love how flavourful the soup is. And it's those natural kinda sweetness you get from the vegetables instead of all the seasoning. The meat were very well marinated as well! Bf thinks tt its even better than the one we had in BKK. Haha
I think the set is just nice for 2, some might find it a tad little for 3. We didnt order rice, only paul did. And it was just nice for us, maybe cos we had it for supper and we didnt wanna eat too much either. They loved the liver, but i hate it. ): It spoils the taste of my meat!
Oh! Another must order here besides the mookata (of course), is the thai iced tea!
 |
| This was so good we ordered 6 cups in total! Paul had 3 cups, as usual, and bf and i shared the other 3 cups. I think it's even better than Nakhon's! Plus it was only $1.50 a cup if im not mistaken. |
The total bill added up t about $50 i think, which was really worth the price! Of course, some may compare it w korean BBQ which is definitely more price worthy since it's free flow but the taste and the feel, its just different. Haha. And the good thing is, they're open from 9am - 6am! This is definitely gonna be one of our new supper places!
 |
| Ootd: Necklace, dress, bag from jocobana and flats from BKK. Really regretted not getting another pair of the flats during my previous trip t BKK cos its suuuuuuper comfy! The dress and bag is also one of my fav buys from the spree, think i've mentioned it in my prev post. The dress is so friendly and the bag is more roomy than it seems! |

We chanced upon this when we were having supper at bedok 85 one of the days, but were too full so we gave it a miss. Headed over again cos i was craving for sth sweet (always am) and we were in the area. Im so glad i saw this tt day cos this has got t be one of my fav icecream in the east!
We ordered shy green nuts, which was recommended by the staff, and also irish latte for the coffee lover bf. Shy green nuts is actually pistachio and choc chips, really good combi! And it's also one of their popular flavours! Loved how they name their icecream and they're alot of interesting flavours as well! Definitely returning for more sometime soon!

Went back t Creamier again cos i've been wanting t try their waffles. Its always so crowded! Not sure if its cos we always go during wkends. Haha
Ordered horlicks choc chip, raspberry love and earl grey lavender this time round. One scoop for each of us! My fav has gotta be the earl grey lavender, sucha great combination!
And the waffles were definitely better than expected! Ever since we've tried waffles from wimbly lu, every other waffles we had elsewhere were pretty disappointing. But i gotta say tt Creamier's waffles did not disappoint. Its crispy and fluffy like the ones at wimbly lu, but of course, wimbly lu still has the best! This is a good substitute t wimbly lu's if you do not wanna travel t wimbly lu cos its kinda inconvenient there.
They also serve tarts from Windowsill in the woods now. In fact there're a handful of cafes which serves their tarts. Not sure if tts why i've seen reviews saying tt the standard has dropped. =/

#8: Little Part 1 Cafe
 |
| Really cosy layout and design! |
 |
| Big mug hot chocolate, $6.50 |
Im really picky when it comes t hot choc. Despite being a choc lover, i dont really fancy those thick and chocolatey ones. But it cant be too milky and lacks choc taste as well, tt way it'll taste like choc milk instead of hot choc (yes there's a diff!). Haha. One of my fav is from coffee bean! But tts until i learnt how t make my own. Hehe
This big mug hot choc, as the name suggests, is really big. Its as though i was drinking from a mini bowl and the mug's a little heavy. Haha. But its just how i like my hot choc! And i like how they bothered t toast the marshmallows first so it's abit like eating those BBQ marshmallows! My fav! And even bf likes this cos its just nice for him as well! He doesnt usually drink hot choc so i guess this is really not bad!
 |
| Buffalo wings (outback BBQ), $10.90 |
Was afraid tt these would be spicy but thank god it was bearable for me. It gets a lil spicier the more you eat it. The meat was tender tt it comes off almost clean from the bones!
 |
| Curried fries, $6.90 |
Their curry powder was more of the spices kind i think? So it was a lil spicy for me. ): But it was kinda addictive! I think im a fries person, especially those thin ones. I hate those thick and chunky ones! Those are more like chips right? Haha

#9: Jamie's Italian
 |
| As you can see, there wasnt a queue. Dont be mistaken tt you wouldnt have t wait t be seated. They actually get your contact details, let you know the approx waiting time and contact you once the table is ready. Our waiting time was about 1h15mins. So pls do get your number first before you go shopping and stuff. (: |
 |
| Fritto misto, $27 |
We wanted the crispy squid and baked mushrooms but they were alrd sold out. Kinda sad actually, shouldnt you have enough t last for the day? ): But i was kinda expecting it cos i read tt it'll most likely be sold out after 7pm.
We ordered this t share instead, which was a mixture of fried seafood. The clams were really big and fresh though.
PS: Sorry for the bad quality (out of focus/wrongly focused etc) pics. Havent used my DSLR for a really long time and getting kinda rusty alrd. Plus i always feel very paiseh if i take too long t take pics of the food unless im eating w bf. =/ I admit my skills are pretty bad and still needs lotsa practice. ):
 |
| Seafood bucatini, $29.50 |
The noodles used werent the usually spaghetti, but tubular spaghetti. It tasted pretty much like udon. Portion was a lil small i think, cos the noodles looked really lil. =/
 |
| Fillet of fish baked in a bag, $28 |
 |
| Wild truffle risotto, $16 |
I ordered this t share w bf since i was still quite full from the snacks we had at Little part 1 and risotto always ends up t be very filling. I liked how flavourful it is, yet light at the same time so its not too 'gelat'. But the rice is a lil harder than the usual ones i think?
 |
| Tutti frutti lemon meringue, $11.50 |
Erm... A bit too much of the meringue? Haha.
I have no idea what's the red chunks tt looks like bak kwa cos i only ate the meringue and lemon tart portion.
Both bf and i liked this, which was rare cos he doesnt usually like lemon tarts either. I think his taste is changing? Lol. Its not overly sour, though the meringue was a bit too sweet so we ended up finishing only the lemon tart but not tgt w the meringue.
 |
| Tiramisu, $11.50 |
Not your usual tiramisu cos this has a tint of orange flavour. Bf didnt fancy this, but i thought it was alright. Just tt the coffee and liquor taste wasnt strong enough, it was more of a orangey taste. I guess those who dont really like the strong coffee taste in tiramisu might like this.
***
Yup ok, enough of food. Haha. I guess i'll be blogging more often since bf's in army now and im really bored at home. Time t find a job soon, yet i dont have the feel t work yet. ):
Shall continue w bf's enlistment in the next post before i finally start on TW (i hope?).
 |
| Ending off the post w another ootd for a casual day out w mummy ytd. Vest and skirt from TW, inner tank from F21, shoes and bracelet from jocobana. |
Its kind of a change for me t dress like tt cos i hardly wear shoes. Im always in my comfy and trusty havaianas. Even when im in shoes i'll only wear flats and heels/wedges sometimes, but very rarely. =/ Prob why my mum always nags at me when i wanna buy heels/wedges cos i hardly wear them but they always look so pretty! ):
But i love this pair of inspired new balance so much i cant wait t wear it out as soon as i got it! Its good for a change sometimes isnt it? Haha. Even though its an inspired pair, its really comfy and the quality's really decent as well! Bought the inspired pair first t see if i'll wear often, before i invest in an authentic one. Cos afterall im not a shoe person and paying $100+ for an authentic pair might end up wasting my money.
I think i havent been shopping much from blogshops ever since i've started this preorder thingy, since i can get clothes at a cheaper price! Hehe.
Haha ok enough of excitement, till the next~
