Chinese New Year - Dinner & Chinatown

Chinese New Year dinner with my City College friends!! Yay! Ok now I know why everyone says i'm becoming a food blogger.. even when I try to blog abt my life, the pictures of food and barely any faces appear on this blog (I have no idea why we forgot to take pictures at the restaurant, sobs)! 

So, we had dinner at my dad's restaurant after all these years of just talking abt it :-) more than glad to have this bunch of amazing friends over, really glad that they enjoyed the food! 

After dinner, we did the unthinkable.. my first CNY experience at Chinatown! 

I've never seen the streets of Chinatown being so alive before.. it was crazy and exciting! Makes me want to go back every year during Chinese New Year. Of course it was crazy crowded, but what a great experience.. soaking in all the good new year vibes :> 

Hope you guys had a great Chinese New Year! 

Two Chefs

 Tze Char with the crew before Chinese new year! I guess it's our way of commemorating the festive season hehe :> Two chef is one of Bernard and my little gem.. there is one outlet that's just a 3 mins drive away from his house but it was our first time at the Sin Ming outlet! Food tastes just as good : )

I think the best part about Two Chefs is the price.. it's so reasonable it's almost unbelievable haha! 

chilled over waffles and TWG tea at Wafflicious! One of my favourite places in Upp Thomson :-) so glad to have caught up with everyone after so long, all the best for exams guys x 

Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters

Finally blogging abt one of my favorite cafes!! Brunch with Joan and Bernard on a regular Saturday. Been to Pacamara twice and both times didn't disappoint. Just look at it's white, crisp and clean interiors.. my new love! My new camera quality really enhances the interior of this place haha #nofilter or enhancement btw. 

"Don't be naughty when i'm away ah Vevien.." bye Bernard, miss you already (sobs)

Calories and truffle overhaul but so damm worth it.. we ordered their truffle fries, truffle eggs benedict, salted caramel brioche french toast and red velvet pancakes. Tell me, don't they all sound too good to be true? It tasted excellent. EVERYTHING on the menu looked and tasted so good.. ok lar except the red velvet pancakes haha taste like crap. It was too dry! We tried their truffled mac & cheese and ice mint chocolate the previous time we came and it was yummy! These are the few fail-safe food options from Pacamara :> 

Nothing beats good food with even better company. Love you two to bits! 

Happy 50 months!

YAY! Heard of so many raves about SONS Bacaro (especially their super cheap and affordable lunch set) so after months of lusting after pictures on Instagram and blogs, we finally made a trip down (using our 50th monthsary as an excuse to travel all the way, pay ERP and search high and low for parking in CBD area ugh) to try just how good their mains are. 

Our lunch situation was almost perfectly seriously?! The setting of this place was chic as expected but far more beautiful up close than in pictures. 

So everything was great until the food came.. I didn't order from the lunch set menu as I wanted to try their Crab & Nduja pasta but look at the portion!! It was so tiny compared to Bernard's beef stew :-( Of course it did fill me and it was delicious but why am I so disappointed (sobs). I finished it in 3 mins. 

But of course, all was made better when B suggested "let's go to town and have llao llao before studying" OKKKK YAYYYY! Somebody asked me on ask.fm "What makes you happy?" I replied with the pic above and said I can't rlly decide muahaha. Yes, llao llao is over rated but there is no denying that it's so damm good. 

Went to study and then had dinner at Real food. Organic food. Yes, so not us and it wasn't that good. 

but my day was great! and honestly, the past month has been the best and things have been getting so much better for the two of us. 

Happy 50th monthsary to the one and only. This is so cringeworthy but thank you for loving me all these years. You've seen me at my worst, you know what a mess I can be, how hard things can get and still love me even when I least deserve it. Thank you for making me laugh when I'd almost forgotten how to and being there at every step of the way. You make me the happiest and I just want you to know that I appreciate you tons. Love you Bernard x
