Then I also looked at some other stuff so I can buy all at one go. But saggy the misc stuff holder can't be bought when I checked out to finish everything before I went out for Instameet. Have to spend more time just to settle the payment issue. Zzz...
Was very late for the gathering liao. Only left house at 1.45 pm, just 15 mins before the time stated. They all already reached the place liao, except for HL who only can go there after family lunch at estimated time of 2.15 pm.
PG WhatsApped over to me and said he saw zippyzipeng, the_xw they all at the cafe! Omo~~!!! But then again, I’m going to be late so let fate decides if I can meet them or not.
I only reached the place at around 2.40 pm. Already saw explodingbelly, her ahlao, PG and HL. Surprisingly, Nicholas haven’t reach leh! I looked left and right but didn’t see them. PG said they already left the place liao. HL was a bit disappointed because she missed out on the Taobao offer after I explained to them I was late because of Taobao issues.
Stop 1: Sin Lee Foods
- Salted Egg Sweet Potato Fries ($12)
- Truffles Pops ($12)
- Aburi Broccoli Salad ($12)
- Beef & Grains ($24)
- Banana Beignets ($9.50)
explodingbelly said she shy (she always say that but her actions proved otherwise wor how come like that ah?) because of surrounding people kept looking at us... 動作太誇張啦！But the real fact is she just wanted to watch how we take photos of food. Bxds... We even asked her to stand on chair to take a top view. HAHAHA! Then when everybody was done with their photography work, only she started to whip out her iPhone to take photo. At this point of time, everybody would focus their eyes on her taking the photo. 不是更加不行？
She commented that PG was very tall and his hands are long - good for taking top view shots without having to stand up! Haha! Yang lor he...
毒到explodingbelly！
竟然趁我們忙著拍照
就偷拍我們
要收錢的說！
周圍的人都看著我們的說——比如我們身後那兩位老外
一定覺得很訝異
怎麼這些人怪怪的
食物也好拍？

Banana Beignets ($9.50)

大快朵頤之前來個大合照！
Didn’t eat the beef, but did try all the other dishes. I would rank the broccoli as first, and the beef as last because I don’t take beef. The broccoli was really really good as recommended by the explodingbelly. The way she told us this is good was so kz and bx that I felt a bit overwhelmed hoho. The ‘goreng pisang’ wasn’t up to my expectation as it was too normal to me hence unjustifiable for the price. HL, Nicholas and I thought a bit too salty. The rest were in the middle of the ranking.
Damage: $11.50 (total $69.50)
Some of the questions me and Nicholas asked were already asked by PG and HL before we came, bxbxbxbx!! But anyway I don’t know why explodingbelly likes to think that I have been guessing she’s a law student. It was Nicholas who asked her if she’s a law student due to outspoken character hbh...
explodingbelly replied that she is studying psychology in NUS now and is now in her final year. After that, she would continue her masters in the same line. Wow! Bachelors not enough wor? Then she very du - say I look like 30 years old. 我有那麼老嗎？！
She kept using the word ‘gang’ instead of ‘group’ or ‘clique’ when referring to the group of NSFs that zippyzipeng and the_xw are in. LOL! She used the word and then looked left and right and made sure they weren’t around. 這一幕很好笑的說。
After the late ‘lunch’, we agreed to move to some other places as it was still rather early - about 4 pm. We four people walked over to Tiong Bahru Market area while explodingbelly and her ahlao took their own transport - which was unknown as bike or car(?). HL and PG said I 冷落 explodingbelly's ahlao. He’s also called Benjamin. BWalao, it’s not only me, but they all also need to interact with him can or not?! And then hor, he also need to talk more mah, if not also very difficult to engage everybody.
Upon reaching Fassler, we went in to take a look. A first for me, I thought it’s a super minimart selling frozen fish products. I don’t understand what’s so trendy about it and people buying salmon or sashimi and eat on the spot? But anyway, we left the place without getting anything. Then at this point of time, we still didn’t see explodingbelly and her ahlao. Weird… If they take their own transport, doesn’t matter car or bike, should reach faster than our legs ba? I mean it’s walking distance but if go by car or bike definitely would be much faster leh. But we didn’t see them, so Nicholas called explodingbelly to change location to Outram Park.
Stop 2: Roosevelt
Again, we walked from Tiong Bahru Market area to Outram Park, passing by SGH. 100% walking. Both me and HL were shrieking how good the Taiwanese breads are. Mainly because Taiwanese brands are very influenced by Japanese counterparts 所以比較講究烘培過程。The moment we reached the place, we still didn't see explodingbelly and her ahlao. Where have they gone to?! Then they appeared with explodingbelly holding a paperbag from Tiong Bahru Bakery. Omo~! 趁機買東西吃？真的實至名歸的說……

實至名歸的 explodingbelly！

Ordered the following for the 2nd part of instameet:
- Caramelised Rum Banana ($10+)
- Churros Waffles ($12+)
- Truffle Scrambled Egg Waffles ($16+)
The moment the first dish was served, I said ‘the talking will resume later, mission start first’. :D Everybody just laughed out loud and then got their cameras ready for photoshoots. 真的很不行一下。
又來偷拍！
Truffle Scrambled Egg Waffles ($16+)
Waffle 有別於其他的
吃下去味道有層次感
就如 HL 說的
店家採用三種不同麵粉製成的
雞蛋呢也來頭不小
加了一點 truffle oil 效果非同凡響
explodingbelly 幾乎崩潰去
因為她是 truffle oil 的粉絲
還說要嫁給一瓶 truffle oil
瘋了說
說到 truffle oil 呢
HL 說朋友從國外送了她一瓶
難不成每餐都要加點來調味嗎？

Churros Waffles ($12+)
聽起來很西班牙的 Churros
來到這裡有了一些些改變
鬆餅撒上砂糖然後再淋上巧克力
冰淇淋也不是那種超市買得到的奶油口味的
Mmm... 真是享受呢！

Caramelised Rum Banana ($10+)
PG 認為這個最好吃
裡頭加了一些 rum
提升了整體味道
怪不得這個深得我們的心與胃！

I quite like all the desserts served here. Heard from HL that the mains are not as nice as the desserts. Hmm…
The service also not bad, the waiter didn't chase us out despite we sat there talking and laughing, making noise. Instead, they refilled our drinks. Thumbs up!
Damage: $6.80 (total $41.80)
It’s a bit interesting that explodingbelly took Bio-Chem-Maths-Economics but majoring in psychology now. She wanted to do medicine but screwed up the interview. Baituo and she didn’t want to take up dentistry. Until now, I’m totally alien to their lingo when it comes to subject combination. What PCME, BCME etc… I only know how to say triple sciences or double maths, or simply ‘Physics, Chem, Maths’.
Suddenly Nicholas dragged me into the scene baituo! He asked explodingbelly who’s not the local here. Walao, I have to explain this again and again and again...
Talked about the overseas trip during schooling times. explodingbelly was so wowed by Nicholas’s course - it’s so unique that I can’t find another person with the same degree on the streets liao. This course also allows Nicholas to go China for a 2-year practical course.
Then specifically on this, explodingbelly said she hasn’t visit China yet but would like to try once. She said she went India 4 times. Nicolas questioned go there for competition is it. HL actually believed that lor. Aigoo, all bursted out into laughter. For explodingbelly, she doesn't want to study TCM. Nicholas was talking about how bad the air quality is in Beijing. Because of this Beijing trip, the conversation digressed into bi sai wqbx. Eww...
For volunteer work. Nicholas said she looked like a local there due to her very tan skin. HAHAHA! Her Chinese a bit bx despite she kept defending herself saying she got A1 last time. WQBX!
We were talking about being known each other in real life then explodingbelly had a super big reaction. Then I asked her what’s so big reaction about it. Then she just bombed me by saying ‘I look dirty’… Baituo… 無端端被炸掉去。
Instagram but I'm not doing Instagram post. It’s like taking the stone and drop it on my legs. I already mentioned that I used to ‘Instagram’ my photos last time. But now is really difficult to do that liao. So many backlogs hbh
She said she still got basketball training at 9 pm. MCS?! Who in a right mind to train basketball on a Sunday night?!
Her ahlao is from SIM and they got to know each other through basketball(?). Really meh? But her ahlao doesn’t seem to be that sporty leh, not at least as sporty as explodingbelly.
I asked explodingbelly who is the next on the list for instameet. The mention of zippyzipeng just put her off. She explained that she doesn’t really know this guy but apparently he invited her to another instameet lor. Aigoo… Actually Nicholas and PG also not very very enthu about him lol… PG said before he wanted to meet weeatfish and zanthera. 應該會蠻三八的爆笑哈哈！
She kept saying she shy shy shy. But after that she just said ‘aiyah, you know’ those kind of self-commentary replies. The pattern very similar to HH. HH always say XX and then ‘no la…’ and smiling away. MCS?!
We parted our ways from here onwards. PG described the scene before I came. He and explodingbelly and her ahlao already reached Sin Lee and shuaneeie discovered explodingbelly if she’s the one wearing floral dress. He was together with zippyzipeng, the_xw that clique at the cafe beside Sin Lee.
Then he came out and saw both she and PG, had some chats before he joined the clique back and they moved to somewhere else. Then zippyzipeng knew about the explodingbelly and PG and came over to see the 廬山真面目. Then he went back to join their clique and realised they were nowhere to be seen. LOL! Then he yelled out loud ‘walao 為什麼沒有等我的？！’ 畫面有一點不行……This scene is just too funny ds. Throughout the incident, the_xw didn't come and was described as shy by PG. Looks like he was really shy lo unlike explodingbelly lol.
We were really grateful that explodingbelly turned up for the instameet because it had been dragging for quite a while le. And today she got her (or her ahlao’s) primary school gathering. Instead of going there to meet those primary school old friends, she chose to meet us instead. 自戀一下，可能我們真的比較可愛、好笑、好玩吧？哈哈哈哈！萬分感激不盡！！！
4 of us decided to go back Tiong Bahru Fassler but it was already closed for the day. Got chance to take a glimpse of PG’s office block. Wah, I think it’s not THAT near to MRT station as I’ve expected. Looks and smells very like NUS S17 lor. Nostalgic!!! As it was not that late, I had some Korean cravings suddenly and suggested to go KDM. HL thought it was rather late as she needs to wake up at 6 am on Monday so she dropped off at Orchard to change to 64/65 then 23 home.
Over at KDM, we had Kimchi stew ($7), Shredded Chicken Set ($7.50) and Fried Dumplings ($4) which I got some cravings for it and treated the duo.

簡單晚餐
PG有一點想吃泡菜湯的說
而我就想吃韓式餃子

Then we continued to talk about people on Instagram. PG exclaimed
one of the comments that explodingbelly made on his photo on Instagram:
HAHAHAHA you know my heart skipped a beat when I saw that I was being tagged?!! Then I realized that you’re not Benjamin! Haha! Had so much food and fun today!! :):):)
So meaning her heart will really skip a beat if I was the one to tag her in my photo instead?! MCS??!!~~~ The comments all very bx one leh.
After dinner, we went Green Rabbits Crepe & Salad Gastrobar. Ordered the most expensive Strawberry Shortcake Crepe ($6.50).
盡力了！
很難找到對的角度拍下去
它有一點像蛋炒飯
咬下去後發覺 crepe 味道不會淡
也不會鬆鬆的
紮實的感覺贏得我心

The lady saw Nicholas using DSLR and I used my LX7 to take the crepe pictures and came over to ask if we are professional photographers. Obviously I’m not but Nicholas - yes! Actually we were scratching our heads on how to get the best angle to take photos because the crepe was really making things difficult for us lo.
She asked how to improve on the visual aspect so to let the food be more attractive to the public. Not an easy task lo. Nicholas went in to the kitchen, gave some suggestions and then borrowed a knife to cut open the crepe. And when we were enjoying the crepe, she came offering Chocolate Banana flavoured crepe to us and said it’s on the house! Yang! 真的托 Nicholas 的福！I like the shortcake ds.

Cincai took a photo of the chocolate banana crepe with special focus on the banana and sent to explodingbelly. She said she lazy to train. I think she only train for a short while before call it a day. Seriously, why train on a Sunday? Sunday is a day to relax one.
The boss came over to talk to us. Friendly lo. But I didn’t know they are 'husband-wife’ relationship lo. He said he’s rather grateful for us to give suggestion - like a first since the shop opened. Then talked about how harsh the F&B industry can be, he asked if we don’t mind if he use coarse language - something along line of giving the best out of it and not 'fuck it up'. Then he toned it down by saying 'screw it up'. BX~~ PG totally went high the moment he used that magical word lol.
Then he was surprised by Nicholas’s answer when he asked what are we working as now. It seems that they have done quite a bit of homework before starting up this business. He’s previously worked as event organiser and his ‘wife’ is part of the cabin crew. Actually I can see despite the boss looked as channel 5 as he is, but I feel his Chinese is not bad one as I could see he’s trying to convey certain sentences to us in mandarin. Also, I reckon he’s quite rich.
Didn’t know that small cafe cost so much rent in Orchard Central!!! The day ended around 10 pm. Reached home at 11 pm just nice.

weeatfish and zanthera under PG’s influence. MCS?! Why is he so
