Dulcet & Studio

   
 On christmas eve, my family came to visit me at my work place, so we went to have lunch together at a cafe called Dulcet & Studio, it was heard to be well know for their cakes. So we decided to have their lunch set meal, which consist of a cup of coffee or tea, salad, main dish, dessert, and it was only $11.80 which was really affordable as it is really filling and the portions are quite big as well. Both my mum and me had the sambal spaghetti set meal while my dad and brother have the chicken teriyaki set meal.

Look at all the cakesssssss

Salad


Teriyaki chicken meal




     They also have a wide selections of desserts and we decided to buy a double cheesecake too. The salad was really refreshing and appetising, the salad dressing was really good it was sour and helps us to have more appetite. The spaghetti was nice too, it was filled with seafood such as squid, clams and prawns which adds a good chew to the spaghetti. The dessert was extraordinarily good, the dessert was Hokkaido chiffon cake and the cake was really fluffy and it goes really well with the whipped cream. The whipped cream was so light and fluffy too, it is like eating whipped condensed milk.

Guksu (국수) Restaurant

   
 On day my family decided to go out for dinner and we had korean food for dinner. We went to Guksu Restaurant to have our dinner, they have both set meal dinner and a la carte dinner, it was almost fully packed when we went in to the store, it was lucky we made a reservation at first.

They gave us gloves to eat the fried chicken.

     We ordered 2 sets of fried chicken, one soya sauce flavoured and the other the classic original flavour, we also ordered 2 hotpot from their dinner set meal and a korean seafood pancake. For the drinks we paid $3.90 and will get to enjoy free flow of drinks, however limited to a few choices only. And the special thing is that you will get to order your food through a iPad which is located on the ice of the table.

     They also have complementary side dishes like kimchi, pasta salad, and other korean side dishes. The food was good, the fried chicken was the show stopper. It was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside and even after it had turn slightly cold, it was still super crispy!! However the price is a little pricy, but the restaurant was located near town area so maybe that's why the slightly higher price. For the hotpot, you get to choose which is the soup base you will like and they type of hotpot you want, like vegetable hotpot or seafood hotpot, the price of the dinner set meal was quite affordable actually and quite worth the money.

Sunday Market

   










 Since today is my off day so i am not working, i decided to meet up with my friend for lunch since it has been a long time since we last met. We decide to go and try another cafe this time, so we decided to go to sunday market since it is open on monday ( Many cafes are not open on monday..).

    We took the MRT and alight at serangoon MRT and took the bus number 101 and three stops later we almost reach the cafe, we walk a small distance and manage to find the cafe. When we step it, we were surprise by the number of people in there, there were so many people and not many seats left. We had to seat at the bar area as the tables were all taken up.
Rendang
Churros 
Toast
Raspberry and passionfruit ice-cream
Tom yum pasta

Rendang beef toast.
     My friend decided to get the spicy tom yum prawn pasta while i got the beef rendang toast. The rendang is really good, the mixture of spices blend in and the rich coconut being infused into the rendang paste. However i would prefer it to be more spicy though, but it really goes well with the thick toast. The toast was buttery and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and taste heavenly with the combination of the rendang. To end of the meal, i had a raspberry and passionfruit ice cream while my friend had Churros. After that we went back to nex and managed to get the 1 for 1 starbucks drink and i got the peppermint mocha while my friend got toffee nut latte.

Grandpa's Eighty Birthday

     To celebrate my grandfather's eighty birthday my cousin's family and my family decided to book a chalet to have a enjoyable and relaxing staycation, so we book the chalet at the NRSCC as it was big enough to hold all of us. The chalet also has a really big living room which is good for holding a gathering. On the first day of the chalet, we have our buffet to celebrate our grandfather's birthday, so my mum invited her cousins and auntie and uncles to celebrate with us. It was really enjoyable as they get to have a chance to seat down and chit chat and catch up with each other too. The buffet was really tasty as the food was from Neo garden catering. I especially love the curry chicken and the sweet and sour fish.

     After the buffet was over, we decided to head to the bowling alley to play a game of bowling. I have a fun time playing bowling with my cousins as it has been a long time since i last bowl, the last time was during the batam trip (which was way back).

BBQ treats.

     The second day of chalet was filled with lots of fun too, my auntie decided to BBQ some sweet potato, corn and potato so that they can snack on it anytime. My cousins and i decided to go swimming so we went to swim early in the morning, after that we went back to have lunch. After lunch we decided to go for a karaoke session, so we book the room for two hours and sang to our hearts content, I literally gone mad too in the room singing and dancing non stop (I totally lose my voice after that ).

Pool side

    When the karaoke session was over, we wanted to go cycling since it is still early however things did not go as plan..... We paid of the rental of the bicycle and had to choose the bikes, however the bikes there are not really in a good conditions. Some bike have the chain loosen, some bike's brake was even spoilt. We went in and out of the office so many times to change the bike and the time has started ticking away so we were wasting time there choosing a bike that was functional. So in the end we decided to get a refund since we cannot even find a functional bike to ride. After this tragic event, we went back and started with our family BBQ.
Satay!!!!




    We decided to order the food for BBQ online so it is much easier for us, so we do not have to go out and buy food and marinated it and stuff, making our life much easier.

     On the last day of the chalet, we have to check out at 10am so after that we went home and get some rest and unpack too. During dinner time, my family brought my grandfather out for dinner and we went to a chinese restaurant and order his favourite dishes.

Teddy and Me cafe

      It has been a long time since i last post again, it is because i am currently working part time and when i come home it will be very late already and i do not have much chance to go any where really interesting. Last friday, while shopping for some stuff i came across this cafe called "Teddy&Me" and it is a Mr bean theme inspired cafe.

     The food there is really cute, like their cakes and coffee, their cake will have Mr bean's face on it too making it really adorable. I purchased a rainbow cheesecake and it taste heavenly good. The cream cheese was really creamy and the sweetness and sourness is just right. The cake was moist and fluffy and goes really well with the cream cheese, once you start eating it you will not want to put down your fork.

     The cakes and other food there is also really instagram worthy. The cafe is quite moderately space,  and the tables are quite small just a small round white table, with four wooden chairs around it. The prices of the food is quite okay for a cafe. It will be a good place for people to meet up and have a chat there too i think.
