Another week gone..

31st Aug 2012 - The Cheesecake Cafe @ East Coast Road

It was another friday night, Singles' are indeed boring at times but im really appreciative that Miss Quek came to fetch me with her cheesie and off we go rounding..

Both of us wasn't feeling that well but that doesn't cause any obstruction to stop us from going. Due to the unfamiliarity of the east route, we took about almost an hour to reach the destination and by the time we reached, i swore both of us look like dead fishes. LOL

Looking through the glass display, there's really a big range of different cheesecakes.
I'd settled on the last slice of their chocolate brownie cheesecake, while quek happily picked blueberry cheesecake thinking it was the last slice too.. Whose knows they placed out another whole cake out *Laughing out Loud

Here's my overall rating:
brownie cheesecake: 7.5/10
Unique flavor always attracts me but maybe because it tasted too sweet,i started to feel sick after taking about half of it.

Ambiance: 9/10
Simply loves the environment to the max, lots of lovely cupids-statue, mini fountain and perfect garden feel..

Price: 8/10
Portion was just nice, and price is reasonable @ $7.80 per slice in a cafe

Heavy crowds despite reaching at a late hour :D
I will definitely visit them again, but perhaps at a lazy afternoon someday to avoid crowds

Virus attacked me, bad sore throat and fever rushed up that night... OMG!

2nd Sep 2012 - Comex IT show

Im supposed to take part in the comex show for both Saturday and Sunday, but due to the unexpected fever got to give the Saturday session a miss. $72 bucks flew away but who cares.

Climbed off bed, dragged my weak body just for the sake of preventing awkwardness between the 2 strangers Maisie and Wei Sheng.
Stood the consecutively 9 freaking hours, and worst of all i'm being posted the busiest location. F*** half dead.

Managed to bring out tiny bits of "fun" out of the the misery..
Met a handful of new friends :D

Thanks ah long for the ride back home despite him having early flight the next day *touched


Monday & Tuesday(3/9-4/9)..
Completely idling mood, body showed slow recovery perhaps due to the bad weather.
Heavy flu and cough continued to haunt me. * bless me

Wednesday (5/9): Self Study time
Continue feeling weak, but met Ws at Starbucks.
1-2hours of solid study on Audit & Assurance, the rest of the hours went on chit chatting.
See!! i told you... Action proven that i cant study with friends LOL

Thursday (6/9): Lunar seventh Month's Getai
Mummy seeked companionship in the evening to watch the Getai in our neighbourhood, little brother showed no interest to her and i was napping..
Heard some grumbling from her that she's lonely and her kids no longer want to keep her accompany blah blah blah. Fine! decided to filial so climb off my bed, took a shower and off we go.

I had no clue what was so interesting about it except words like warm, stuffy, crowded, mosquito's' love bites to describe it. hahahaa, the traditions are sure going to fall under the hands of our generation sooner or later LOL



My legs were disobedient, i couldn't stay still at the same place..
So i walked around the neighborhood, the lanterns hanging there makes me feel awesome. I love our Chinese Festivals. :D
Went Phoon Huat for upcoming Mooncake's ingredient pricing.



Meet up ah long at the station, because he claimed that he missed me so so so so so much.

Somehow or rather.. I feel so wrong & nervous, not those kind of lovely dovey feel but those kind of having external affairs' excitement. Whatever lar, we are now both singles leh!!! my brain dis-functioning again. LOL

Interruption!! Here's pictures of Keiko's son :D babies are always so lovely.. When can i have a daughter too? Drop one from the sky? LOL

Ling Ling also secretly gave birth to a prince!!! OMG!!! Congras dear, looking forward to his full month :D

Friday (7/9) - Carpenter & Cook Cafe

Seems like it become a routine to explore new teatime every friday with dear quek?
We are here specially for the carrot cake, but to my disappointment........like what quek said with some hidden meaning:"you have no fate with carrot cake, forget it..."

Hey i'm no longer expecting anything from "carrot", all i wanna do is to just to enjoy my cake secretly and quietly.
Alot of my friends scolded me foolish, because knowing that even in his mind or in fact just another "passerby", i still miss him... Bear with me, i wished i could walk out asap too :(

Ok.. back to Carpenter & Cook introduction :D
I'd ordered their new recommendation Caramel walnut Cheesecake as an alternative and a cup of hot latte while quek had her scone with strawberry lime cider(4.5% alcoholic). Guess what happened to this joker, her face blushed red and feel tipsy when we left the cafe. =,=!!! I'm completely wordless.

Caramel walnut Cheesecake: 8/10
Caramel sweetness blends really well with the creamy cheesecake, there's bits of caramel & walnut crunch which add to the savory texture.
Will be best if a slice could be shared between 2 persons, because after awhile it start to give a sickly sweet again..
I'm a little bit upset not because my cake was not tasty but more of i came late, and there wasn't much choices left for me. Hopefully better well next time :D

The lady pastry chef was attentive, she came over to ask whether i like her new cake invention :D hahaha.. i decided to supportive and gave her some words of encouragement though in my mind i don't really appreciative her creamy taste but hard crust..

Ambiance: 8/10
Stepping my foot into the shop, it first gave me a very free and homely feel just like those 2nd hand antique Taiwanese cafe.
There's aging clocks, English teapots, old school type-writer, scales, laddles and many more all over the cafe. Guess what? All looks as if new (or in fact they are new? i don't know) they seem all welly maintained.
A piece of good news for antique collectors!! Items are all for sales, just reach out for the friendly staffs.
Imagine dining on the old sewing machine where they used it as a table. The thought of it was already pretty interesting isn't it?
If only we don't have a noisy and busy crowd, i think it would be perfect to have a slip of coffee with a mouthful of cake and enjoyed the soothing oldies songs played.

Price: 7.5/10

$8per slice seems like a standard marginal pricing for theme-ambiance cafe.
Of course we can't compare with cakes in Cafe Cartel, coffee bean, starbucks and etc.. where we could easily got them at about $6-7 bucks.
Overall, portion was slightly smaller but im willing to pay for the atmosphere.
Will visit them at a more non-peak timing next time.

Their water sink attracts me... i want this in my future home too, lovely!

Old Confectionery bakery- Ng Kim Lee

I'm not sure whether its popular, but there's newspaper cutting reporting on their muffin so i assumed not bad?

Take away diamond egg tarts @70 cents per piece and Mousse cakes(Black forest, blueberry, mango) @$ 2 per piece for my family.

Cheap Cheap Cheap.

Ending off with some pictures...
Sick bunny swallowing pi pak gao. :D

Editing some rosy cheeks on me... else im dead pale.
Good Night all ^^
