Insalata di Baccala ed Agrumi S$16

This shall be my last post for this week, and I am flying off to Penang later today! Finally a gateway which I can't wait. Will blog on my trip once I am back.

Earlier this week, I went to Mondo Mio for dinner after work, had always love the quaint Robertson Quay which takes my mind off the busy and hectic city life for a moment.

One of the refreshing starters I had, which is steamed cod and fruits salad. A hint of sourness from the fruits which makes it even more appetising.

A couple of weeks ago, I just started on Shou Slimming's Coffee Svelte. I won't say it is a slimming coffee, because slimming is not as easy as just drinking coffee, it needs hard work ad workouts.

OCC Signature Ice Cold Brew S$5.90

It was International Coffee Day on 1st October, therefore O'Coffee Club is having this promotion for the whole month of October for dining in or takeaway.

Cold brew is difinately a refreshing option in this hot and humid weather on this sunny island. The coffee beans are steeped in cold water for 24 hours to extract the flavours. I am beginning to drink more of Americano and Black Cold Brew, trying to cut down on milk, although sometimes I still couldn't resist especially when the cafe offers Rose Latte.

Mint Chocolate and Caramel Ice Cold Brew are also available, sounds delicious indeed.

Thank you O'Coffee Club for sending the bottle of cold brew to curb the heat these few days.
