National Day celebration

After a hard time at work this week, it's finally weekend! Already decided that I shall not do anything related to work but to enjoy and relax on National Day.

Slept late last night at 2.30 am then I got the lethargic feeling when I woke up at 8 am this morning. Aigoo... Heng the Whale & Cloud cafe is closed today if not I have to be at Little India MRT at 8.30 am according to the original plan. Now I only need to be at Bugis MRT at 9.30 am lo. But anyway was late by about 15 mins. Nicholas even more late - said he just left house at the point of time when I just met PG at Bugis MRT! It's quite rare for him to be so late ds. Then PG said he watch 中國好聲音 watch until 忘我境界 liao. Haha! Then PG told him to come look for us once he is at Bugis. We made our way to the first stop of our cafe hop - Artistry.

The cafe just opened its door for business for today when we reached there. PG wanted to get outdoor seats because the lighting is good for nice nice food photo

PG很毒,我在淘寶買什麼他也跟著買什麼。昨天教他幫我買LG數據線(聽說最近LG的新款手機所附帶的數據線超給力,能快速充電),看看用在給紅米手機充電方面好不好比較好一點。結果他自己偷偷加多一個下去!之前自己買的紅米手機玻璃膜還有手機套,他也偷偷跟著買!真的很不行咧!

While waiting for Nicholas we began to look through the menu. Honestly the first thing that attracted my attention was Artistry Crab Burger ($20). How on earth does the real thing look like? What about the taste? 還蠻好奇的。

But anyway we decided to go for this burger, Kaya & Butter French Toast ($14), Latte ($5) and Cappuccino ($5).

After the toast was served, we began to let the cameras to feast on it LOL. The two angmoh ladies (coined by PG as 小龍女 and 楊過) saw us (because our actions were too big and obvious liao), they found it quite visually attractive and asked us what was that. Omo... PG then replied that they should try it out. And they really tried them out ds. Very yang~~

About the food, the toast is full of comments from us. The coconut ice cream was very uniqle because I could find the real coconut inside! The breads were nicely toasted and kiap together with kaya. Nice combination!

The crab burger deserves a prize on its own. This is my first time eating a crab burger and the overall impression is good! The crab meat was cut into smaller pieces and lumped into a ball before frying, hence the exterior contained a layer of crispy crab meat. Despite being fried, I didn't get sick of the taste and it was very tasty. Three of us already mesmerized by the beauty of this burger. LOL... Together with the charcoal bread, it's a winner here.

What's even more yang was that they gave us truffle fries instead of plain ones. It's much better than the one we had at One Man cafe lor. Even Nicholas approved the fries ds. Would definitely come back for more!

很有質感的排號牌
服務不錯-老闆娘態度親切友善
都還會想再次光臨的說

拉提!

拉提跟卡布其諾

拉提跟卡布其諾
坐下來喝喝咖啡就賴著不走了~

蟹肉漢堡!
這是首次品嚐蟹肉漢堡包
印象真的很好
很特別喔!
我們大讚特讚
還喊話要回來吃的說!

經烘烤的麵包有一股香香的烘烤味
中間夾著塗上去的咖椰醬
已經是很美味了
可是店家很毒
繼續讓食客沉陷在他們美食毒裡
椰子冰淇淋是最大武器
擄走不懂多少個食客的胃和心
至少我的心已經被他們收買了~
呵呵……

合照!
美麗的上午……
美麗的餐點……
美麗的朋友……
美麗的時光……

Damage: $15 (total $44)

We left the place around 11.30 am to shift to the next stop - newly opened De'Pop Culture Cafe at North Bridge Road.

Luckily Nicholas wore red so we were encouraged to redeem the offer the cafe currently is having - wear red and take a selfie photo, upload to their FB page in order to enjoy a cup of latte for free.

The girl saw that the uploaded photo got three of us, decided to give us another cup of late for free! Yang!

Didn't know JX got come until PG told me this morning. But because he just woke up at 10 plus, he said he will find us only at 12 noon.

Then so coincident to see PG's ICT mate at the cafe. But his clique left shortly after without getting anything.

Went with the girl's recommendations - had their De'Pop Breakfast Platter Solo ($18.90). Not bad ds but I getting full liao.

JX came and ordered French Toast feat. The Berries ($10.90) and a cup of Cappuccino ($4.90). But because of 1-for-1 beverage offer going on, we had the Kiwi Soda also! The Kiwi Soda exceeded our expectation - very nice and refreshing!

不懂為什麼我很喜歡它的五彩繽紛

免費的拉提
分量不一的
但因為它是免費
所以我也ok

全套早餐!
香腸好好吃
最讓我訝異的是它的蔬菜
淋上芝麻油醬
很香
讓菜葉不會有一種澀澀口味

吐司!
這個很讚!

用紅米Note試拍
室內光線不足的情況下
表現差強人意

JX rented a 14-24 mm wide angle lens for $28, just to take nice fireworks photos with it today.

We then moved on to the next stop - Shop Wonderland Cafe. PG was high-ing over the green banana cake but in the end we went for Gula Melaka Cake with Kaya ($7.60), together with Popcorn Matcha Latte ($6) and Passionfruit & Mango Muddle Soda ($7.90). I was appalled to see only 2 popcorns included for that 20 cents more but was mire relieved to see that the drink got the taste of the caramel popcorn in it. Not bad la.

We didn't get to try out the passionfruit soda at the previous cafe so we managed to get it here. OK la I still find the Kiwi Soda 很给力 leh. As for the cake, I felt that the Malay styled gula melaka taste could be stronger.

這家的綠茶拉提
不同於其他我本身喝過的
有焦糖爆米花的味道在裡面
所以會很特別
當初看到給了兩粒爆米花卻要我多兩角錢
覺得很好賺
原來飲料裡面加了爆米花的味道
就覺得還ok
後面那蘇打水是繼上一站喝不到這口味
選擇在這一站點選
它清涼解渴的性質
是第一個解決掉的食物

這帶有椰糖口味的本土化的蛋糕
個人覺得有一點普通去
覺得口味還可以再加強一點
讓食客一品嚐就馬上認出裡頭有帶有馬來風味的椰糖

他們同一天生日
連相機也是同款的!

PG shrieked out by using the F word when he saw JX took out the army water bottle used as his water bottle! SSF out of so many bottles he go use the army one. Immediately PG said he don't know JX this person. LOL! 完全不行~

Damage: $14.05 (paid $14, total $34.70 + $21.50)

Next we moved to Millenia Walk to redeem the orange matcha tart from Tart Blanc. On our way there, Nicholas cannot hold back his gossip nature and leaked out to us that HH's weight is 110 kg! His BMI would be 39.4, close to 40 liao. *shireking out* PG jinja let out his shrieks in a way that's almost like the F16 fighter jets zooming over the sky ds. And that's 6 months ago, we spectulate that he would probably weigh around 120 kg now le!

Then HH told Nicholas that he wanted to slim down - using the lazy and effortless way - to eat slimming pills. Haven't he learnt the lessons when he got scammed of $50 or $70-80 when he bought the pills online? Not to mention the potential health risks with these pills. They can say until got dragon got tiger that these pills can do, but who knows if the pills bring more harm than good? The best way is still through exercise and diet. But he lazy to move and insists on unhealthy food - fried ones and 120% sugar for Koi milk tea ssf. Just hearing it already can imagine how unhealthy it can be liao.

Before we actually settled down at Millenia Walk, we went over to Suntec City to take photos with the poster on MorganField's Sticky Burger just outside the mall. Xyy can go add my cup counts by treating myself and PG Starbucks drinks. Now left only 1 more cup to redeem the mini card le.

 總共不到$20
呵呵!
配合國慶日推出的strawberry cheesecake和tiramisu frappuccino
每杯優惠價$4.90
很抵~~
所以趁機增加自己的杯數!哈哈哈!

 三位星巴克的女郎看這裡!

I yang when I told them that my trackers got updated. Then Nicholas went to check his record and found that his one didn't get updated - big sag! Called the hotline but nobody picked up and the service crew could not help him. Aigoo total sag now hopefully Starbucks can backlog compensate him le lo.

Nicholas and JX left around 4.30 pm to camp for a location for the fireworks while PG and me xyy lazying around at Starbucks because we don't have the tripod. Lol...

*I'm getting addicted to Taobao. Omo must hold up my addiction until 11 Nov. Cannot keep buying and buying and end up spending lots of money ds.*

We left the place at 7.30 pm. Seeing the time a bit late, decided to do away with videoing the fireworks later at 8 pm. Went to Shine Korea. Bought 2 cup noodles to xyy for $2.80. PG trying out the super spicy noodles ds.

Went up food court as I was feeling hungry already. Bought kimchi fried rice ($6). Not bad BT a bit oily IMO. PG had his claypot fix for $5.60. The crowd surrounded the area to view the fireworks. It was a great view IMO, but very limited to hold so many people lor. Anyway if want to upload fireworks video can use the preview one lol.

意外的是
這盤泡菜炒飯偏辣所以還不錯
只是覺得有一點點油
吃起來會有那種不健康的感覺

But as we were finishing the food, we began to feel pressurised because people would start stand around us eyeing our seat le. But then Nicholas and JX needed some time to pack their stuff and walk back to City Hall.

Began to call them as I felt both me and PG couldn't wait any more longer. I still went for 2nd round - 香味米粉 ($5) leh. Then JX responded that he lost Nicholas while walking back. In the end JX came back faster than Nicholas ds!

Didn't know they already had nasi lemak as their dinner. Sagged! They should have informed us about this so that we can meet again somewhere else mah. Save the trouble of buying 2nd meal and stuff myself with more food lo.

Anyway they didn't want to eat dinner liao, but bought cold drinks instead. JX insisted he want to have dessert, so he got himself the 海底椰甜品. We were talking about HH the body changes when suddenly we heard a loud bang - a bowl of noodles was dropped onto a floor and the contents splashed out. Immediately after that I saw this woman wearing those 'cake' shoes (the one noticed by PG sitting on the table and shoes placed on the chair in public) storming out of the premise with a guy following after her. 感情糾紛最終吵架?
I got kena by the mishap - some of the noodles soup splashed onto my flippers and feet. Sway... And also what a way for that guy and lady to remember this day ds. JX still say haiyo if they never leave the place then can see drama. Aigoo, I don't know what they will do next. 不想做池魚之殃咧。

As for the photos, JX a bit regret that the lens he rented was too wide angle liao. The fireworks appeared small on the photos leh. I felt that the location was already saggy ds.

Damage: $13.80

Called it a day when we left at around 10.40 pm to go home.
