I’m terrible at updating this space! Really wanted to update before flying off on a trip with the bf two weeks back but couldn’t find time as I had to rush a couple of launches, pack all parcels, tie up all loose ends before I could go on the trip at ease! More on our trip soon! Didn’t take much photos but we had a handful of adventures of our own that I’d love to share! Anyway, some pics from the dimsum lunch with the girlfriends one weekend at Yan Ting, St Regis Hotel! After hearing lots of raves about this place, we thought we should check it out! Unfortunately, we were left disappointed! Only the baked BBQ pork puffs were good, the rest were pretty average. Royal China definitely beat Yan Ting hands down! While prices wise they may be about the same, the dimsum at Royal China are so much yummier with custard buns that are to die for! :)

Brunch with the girls at Arbite a few weeks back! Looking at these pictures just made my mouth water! Haha, if you ever go there, the eggs benedict are a must! They’re so yummy! The breakfast set and caramel banana pancakes are okay, nothing extra special but still pretty decent! Plus the food and beverages there are pretty cheap as well! Surprisingly, it wasn’t packed on a Saturday afternoon! So we did what we did best, lazing the afternoon away, having a good chat over tea for a couple of hours. :)

Sorry for the long overdue update! Haven’t had the time as I was in BKK the past week after chancing upon a super good deal from SQ, only $188!! Despite the flood and epidemic warnings, I knew I HAD to go! For those contemplating to go, you should! There’s not a single drop of water at the touristy shopping area. Both Chatuchak and Chinatown are fine and are open for business as usual! I had road side food every day and I am still alive and kicking! :) Anyway, back to the post, after a studio shoot one day, the bf and I decided to head to eM by the river at robertson quay as we were in the area! The place was mad packed! We only could get a seat by the bar, the sofa beds look so comfy though! While the he eggs royale were AWESOME, the pancakes, however, were terrible! Tastes like what you can get at Mr Bean instead of the usual fluffly pancakes. Would definitely head back as the ambience was awesome and we actually bumped into a friend working there :)
Two saturdays back, it was a really hot afternoon when we left the house for some picnic shopping. I remember thinking that it was too hot for a picnic, totally gonna faint from the heat! Lo and behold, right as we stepped foot into the botanic gardens, we heard thunder!!! -_- Really?! Despite the warning from the skies, we hastened our footsteps, found a nice area and set up our mini picnic! We barely sat down for 10 mins, and only took about 20 photos before it started pouring!! We haven’t even eaten yet! LOL hurriedly, we packed everything up & had to walk all the way back to the entrance where we came from. We did, however, have a blast having a picnic under shelter from then on. What an adventure. :)

I know, I last said to update with pretty photos from Hokkaido, but after transferring 3200+ photos, it was such a chore to sort through. But I’ll get to it because the japan photos are sooo awesome! :) After the trip, I was really sick of japanese food and craved my favorite meal of the day - brunch. So the bf and I headed to Cafe Epicurious which boasted the best brunch in SG, but I was sadly unsatisfied. Both the eggs benedict and the pancakes were quite average, I should have went for the choco banana toast instead. :( Other than that, I wish I could have a red wall with frames of pictures like this, particularly love the black-white wedding photos! And also the corner with old school games, and how the little girl was having so much fun with the rocking chair!
Outfit: coming soon on The Label Junkie
Last saturday, met the girls at Raffles Hotel to indulge in dimsum at Royal China. I was terribly late and couldn’t get a cab for like half an hour! It was soo bad, almost didn’t wanna turn up already because I was so pissed off. Didn’t think the highly raved dimsum was that great. Or perhaps, the bar has been set really high after visiting HK where I could easily find a dim sum eatery that would beat this hands down! The only plus point was its Tiffany blue walls and white furniture, very pretty!

Sunday brunch with the girlfriends at Spruce, Tanglin Road. It’s near town, but still extremely ulu & inaccessible! Nothing a cab ride can’t solve though. The food was average! I shared the eggs benedict on waffle & the banana pancakes while they had the english breakfast set. The food was ok, not too bad, but not that great either. But I thought the service was extremely atrocious! We wanted to change our seats after eating from the outdoors to the indoors to have some coffee and chat for a lil longer because it was freaking humid & they had lots of room indoors, but they refused and gave us a ridiculous excuse that the tables were for high tea ONLY. Great, so we brought our $$ elsewhere since it wasn’t appreciated there! We then headed to ION’s coffee bean for more coffee and chit chat, great day out :)
