My dearest Sunday
Definitely not the usual Sunday I have with bf, staying at home to watch TV and rest our legs. Despite in the mid of recovering from my surgery, my legs just can't say NO to cafe-hopped especially on a weekend. I mean like weekend are supposed to be doing the things that I like and want. Basically, I just can't stay at home for the whole day.
Apparently this will be my last date of the month with my man before he flies off to Thailand for his training. Yet again, 1 month or less of not seeing him. I DONT KNOW WHY THEY ARE BEING SO CRUEL TO DEPART US!!! ONCE NOT ENOUGH MEH? (Okay, end off my dramatic scene). So he's being nice to follow whatever plans I have for him. In such case, I always prepare my homework beforehand, ensured that the seats are being reserved, accessible to the location etc.
So through the most reliable apps ''CHOPE" reservation, I managed to secured 2 seats at Little diner. They also have other ATAS restaurant but too high end means burning pocket into many holes. But just nice, this bistro cafe simply suit us. At least, the price is acceptable.
Little Diner is an absolute gem that’s located in Bukit Timah. Not accessible to travel there without a car. The nearest MRT station would be Buona Vista, afterwhich you have to change over to bus 74 which will take up 30-40 mins of the journey.
As I have made a reservation before hand, our seats was confirmed right away. See how efficient they are. And also, we were greeted with a cute reservation card placed on our table. That was a nice and sweet gesture – it does make you feel welcome.
They really did put in a lot of effort, even to the smallest details. I felt that it was really cool.
However, this cafe isn't exactly huge, so it's really best for small group gatherings for about 2-6 people.
Lets start with the food verdict:
Bf ordered Supernova Eggs Benedict ( $15.50)
Smoked salmon, poached eggs and Hollandaise Sauce on toasted multigrain bread with baby green salad.
They have many egg benedict variations such as The "Krusty Krab" Benedict and Italian Benedict, but my man go with salmon one because he thinks that it is more healthier than parma ham. It was a good stuff though. We would thought they the salmon will be VERY raw but nope there wasn't any fishy smell. The brioche is soft and absorbs all the runny egg yolk, but the salmon came in alittle too little ):
And thats mine!
Croque Madame ($12.50)
This is not your ordinary ham and cheese sandwiches. This is a deconstructed, gussied up ham and cheese sandwiches on toasted brioche, sitting in a pool of truffle scented bechamel sauce, topped with a beautiful fried egg and baby side salad.
which was another one of their Chef’s Special. This dish was AMAZING! It’s the epitome of comfort food.. Seriously, toasted brioche, ham, parmesan cheese and a beautiful fried egg on top of a bed of truffle bechamel sauce? How can this ever go wrong?! This was definitely a winner. Forget about the calories, we swept everything up on this plate!
Homefries (S$3.50)
we ordered this because the Instagram said so. HAHA. Many people praised for their own home fries so its a must to order this POTATO! And cheers to our favourite finger food. But the portion's a litte too big eh.
total bill: SGD44.40
who i would recommend this to: people looking for a casual place for a relaxing meal. the interior of the place is rather simple but that’s what makes it laidback; it is the kind of place i’d go to on a sunday morning with my newspapers and without having to dress up. the service is great and staff are really friendly, so you feel at ease while having a leisurely meal.

Here to my OOTD for sunday!

Camera: Canon (Okay, lame!)
Next up to where we are going. My next activity with him was to travel down to farmart centre. Farmart Centre has various retail shops, food stalls, prawn fishing ponds and an animal corner. Step into a rustic, sleepy atmosphere at the Centre as you take your time to wander around the different shops.
I knew there were nothing much to do there except feed the animals but admission was FREE, so why not?! Further its one of the 14 ULU places you can take a road trip to in Singapore.
First, bird feeding that attracted us, Its a free stand for all the parrots/ birds. You can touch it, pat on their forehead or request them to stand on your finger. They seem to be very well-discipline and obedient and I suspected they understand human language.
An animal corner where you can purchase animal feed to get close to the small animals and read some basic educational information on them. The animal corner has more crowds. Then I know, most children are here to see and feed the little animals (extra purchase for animal food).
After looking at people feeding the animals, we went around a bit to see the shops. There are quite a number of shops there, and they are not only selling fresh produce. We found a pet shop and a shop selling water features there, among others.
It might be worth coming here just to see the birds. Farmart Centre is easily accessible, even if you don’t have a car. Just take the shuttle bus that will bring you straight there from Choa Chu Kang MRT station. It costs $1 per trip.
And yeah, a pretty much of a fruitful day spent with him. Trying not to worry alot for his thailand training. Please let the positive thoughts run into me.
Till then.
