Hello!! Finally I am travelling (as what Cleo said, and she is freaking happy for me, like even more excited than me before I fly). Because work is so bad and hectic that I got no mood at all even the night before I am bound for Bangkok, so much that I even went jogging till late, and leaving with only 2.5 hours of sleep hahah!

I am thankful for this trip and travelling companions, it really keeps my mind off work COMPLETELY for that few days. I am also thankful that I have a no-fuss room partner Hannah, and the more BKK experience dong seangs Jacq & Nikki.

Hannah helped us to communicate a little in thai, and the dong seangs know roughly where to go, keep themselves awake on taxi rides to ensure our safety.

Ollella @ Petain Road

Address: 3 Petain Road #01-01 Residences@Somme Singapore 208108
Website: http://chouquette.sg

Last Sunday, after lunch we hopped over to Ollella for their pretty and delicate cream puffs.

The only time we can "hi can we get 1 of each?" Is when we get together 👫👭👸🏻

Tiramisu S$5
Matcha Azuki S$4.50
Apple Cinnamon S$4
Dark Chocolate S$4.50
Raspberry S$5
Lemon Meringue S$4
Vanilla S$4


These pretty little choux are 5cm in diameter, there are also mini choux (3cm diameter) that comes in a platter of 7 for S$21. 

My favourite is Lemon Meringue, the perfect sourish lemon curd and sweet meringue. 

I feel that the Matcha Azuki is not strong enough, I prefer those matcha that is of slightly bitter and stronger in taste. 

Dark chocolate on the other hand is very rich. 

Vanilla is decent and a safe choice. 

Sissy J loves the apple cinnamon which I find that it's pretty good too.

Signature Dry Chili Pan Mee S$5

Weeks ago, boss brought us out for Kin Kin Chili Pan Mee! Finally get to try after all the raves but was rather disappointed, it tasted so so, portion is pretty small too. I go easy on the chili, but didn't find it any fantastic either. But I am thankful for the air-conditioned place, which means NO PIGEONS, and not too hot.

Blossom Beats @ Flower Dome, Gardens by The Bay

Address: 18 Marina Gardens Drive Singapore 018953
Operating Hours: 9am to 9pm

#BlossomBeats floral display is available from now till 27th March 2016.

Made use of the chance using free tickets from my company to come and see all sorts of blossoms including Cherry & Peach blossoms. This is the first time the display last for only 2 weeks, this explains the huge crowd here! The crowd makes the trip here unenjoyable. Its like you have to keep moving, to let people have the chance to take pictures and yet you got to wait for people to move in order for you to take a good picture without their faces/part of the head or body inside.

Its also my first time having to queue to go in to Flower Dome, as well as the 2 mini exhibits inside Flower Dome, and the queue is pretty long.

I prefer the Christmas and CNY themes better.

(I am having problems with photo bucket and blogspot, my pictures got jumbled up, I can't type any caption in between my pictures. So this explains why I have this lengthy opening.)

Koh Grill Sushi + Tai Cheong Bakery @ Orchard

  1. Koh Grill Sushi Bar
  2. Tai Cheong Bakery

Start off with my failed shopping attempt.

I actually wanted to get shoes because 1 pair of my shoes is giving way soon, and I have such bad luck I couldn't believe it. My colleague aka GFB (Grow-Fat-Buddy) have the same pair of Pazzion shoes and we wanted to get another pair of a different colour.

1) my mum said during the first lunar month, cannot buy shoes (due to superstition reason), so I planned 3 weeks ahead and chose a good date - 1st day of the 2nd lunar month. To our dismay, Pazzion closed at 5pm that day! So we left for dinner instead and I suggested having The Sushi Bar.

2) A few days back I noticed the hole in my shoe is getting bigger so I asked GFB out for a impromptu shoe shopping and quick dinner. Finally saw the shoes we wanted but the smallest size is 38. So i tried 2 other pairs and don't have my size. How annoying when you need to buy a decent pair right?

So I gave up and suggested Koh Grill for dinner and she said I'm a "sushi girl", it's like 10 out of 10 times of our dinner dates, I will suggest Japanese food. Introduced Shiok Maki to her and she loves it! Yay another Shiok Maki Kaki if I have cravings!

I See i See's first international outlet opened in Singapore a few days back on 12th March 2016. Its founded in May 2015 and currently had 5 outlets in Hong Kong. 

Using top quality ingredients for its fruit and milk-based ice pops, there is no added preservatives or colourings in them and they are all handcrafted by an ice pop artist in small batches so no ice pops are alike. Freezing of the ice pops only takes 20 to 30 minutes by a quick-freeze method, which results in extremely fine crystals and a feathery snow-like texture.
