Never Judge A Book By Its Cover

This

The above homemade ice cream by Der is soooo much nicer than the other 2 cake/tart. He's definitely improving on his ice cream making skills as the days go by. :)

We stumbled upon this shop at the basement of 313 shopping centre and was attracted to all the pastries displayed. Everyone of them looked so intricately put together. Nonetheless, we were gravely disappointed!

The macrons were the only saving grace of all but if bought individually, it'll cost $2.30 each if I'm not wrong, which is definitely not worth it. I think the best macrons are the ones found at Tangs basement (never noticed the shop name). For the first pastry we tried, the tart at the base was hard, dry and tasteless. As for the other white cake, we simply couldn't make out the taste. It was just sticky and oh so sweet. I'm not sure if the cakes were placed there for too long, thus the taste. It just left us...disappointed.

Not forgetting...CONGRATULATIONS IFAH!

My first time attending a Malay wedding. A lot of music and dance involved. And the head gear is so extravagant!

The Orange Timber

Today was a pretty chill day, walking around, eating and reading my book! It has been a long time since I walked along Blk 85 market. I think the last time was during my sec sch days, on my way back to my grandma house after sch. Since I had breakfast there with my grandma today, I showed der the old sch cake shop where Cham and I bought a huge cream cake (not those fanciful ones we get these days) and finished it all by ourselves under the void deck! Der and I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a slice each :) Strawberry vs blueberry...Only $1.10 each. Those miniture ones that are sold at toast box cost $1.20 and they are only 1/3 the size of this! What a rip off for something nostalgia... Later in the evening, we decided to chill at The Orange Timber @ Tiong Bahru The Orange Timber is a cafe cum art gallery. The plates are bowl used were also meant to be something nostalgia once again... hah However, I use those cutlery at home too. There are like 3 sections to this small cafe...

Happy Chinese New Year!

Pending Down My Thoughts for 2021

10.07pm, 31 Dec 2021. The year 2021 is coming to an end. The year of Covid. The year we left LA and returned to Singapore for good. It has been 9 months since we got back but I still feel like it happened so recently. One of the Singaporean family we met in LA and hung out very often is in town to visit. Charlotte asked if we can return to LA together. She asked if we are really not going back anymore. We all miss LA a lot. Definitely much more than Moscow even though Moscow is a very memorable place too. Spent the day at Sentosa, The Luge. Kiddos had a lot of fun despite the heat. I enjoyed myself a lot too and I am missing the times we hung out in LA. Thinking about them going back and us staying behind makes me a little sad. The kids still got along very well even though we have not met for sometime. Hopefully their friendship will remain as they continue to grow up. Recap of 2021 1. I realized I can bake. 2. I love making bread or trying to make food cute. 3....
