Miss Molly date// llao llao date

Can't remember what we have done on last Saturday but we simply had a no plan date on this day because of his sudden book out. I was about to attend the Purple Parade event but chose to find Bf at  Yishun and we simply took a long ride train down to Tanjong Pagar for our food hunt.





We had a big stroll around from Chinatown to Tanjong Pagar, thinking of what to fill our tummy and then, we came across this cafe which was in my cafe list, Miss Molly. Set aside Miss molly cafe, one should patron this area if you are carving for BBQ buffet or Korean food. The whole street that we went were lined up by Korean food!

We set our foot in at 2pm and it was all past lunch time so the cafe was so quiet and cosy to dine in at. Miss Molly cafe sells a variety of food, from Western to Sandwiches to Pastas. They even have their all day breakfast in the menu.

If you are here for a high tea session with friends, you can consider ordering their rainbow cake that caught most of my attention.


Peanut butter chocolate frappe ($5)

One of the unique beverage that I found on the drink menu. I have never tried this beverage before and its Peanut Butter chocolate! I don't think one will like it but to us, its so refreshing! The peanut has a strong buttery flavouring so those who are allergy to peanut, this drink will not be suitable for you. 



Laksa Pasta with Prawns ( $13.80)

The food that I captured doesn't seem convincing enough if I commented a positive feedback. But all I could say this is a must try dish if you walk in to this cafe, I would gladly to say that this is their signature dish, even the signboard displayed it. A more creamier version of laksa tossed with linguine and juicy tiger prawns but you will get sick of the taste aftermath.


Hawaiian Pizza ($13.80)

Nothing special about this pizza but unlike the normal crust in Pizza Hut, they have it as thin crust. The portion given is big and it can be shared among 3 person. So affordable enough if you are sharing around.

It was pouring heavily after our dinner so we dashed through to the nearest MRT station for shelter. We took a stop down to City hall and walked in to queue for llao llao at Marina Square outlet. 

Surprisingly, the queue was short and we got our yoghurt in 15 minutes time. Apparently I wanted their white chocolate syrup so badly but they ran out of it ( including the dark chocolate). As im not a berry person, I skipped all the berries syrup and opted for coffee syrup. 

Coffee syrup? You might think that it taste bitter but you are wrong! Coffee can be sweet as well! 



Simple no plan date with the man and im glad that I am able to spend my weekend with him (:

Till then 

Deepavali// Flee away Cafe

On deepavali, Bf and I had date at Little India, to feel the Hindu festival that happened in Singapore. As it was a public holiday, you would expect crowds especially Indian people buying their groceries to cook a sumptuous meal for their family, having their lunch out or Caucasian back-packing around in this area. 

The weather started drizzling while we were walking past the streets but that doesn't dampened our mood. We continued to use our GPRS to lead the way to our designated cafe that I found from Group-on! And Yes, Group on again? It is a good apps to locate for affordable price vouchers and you will definitely get hold on the tickets at the first hand.

So here we are:







Have you tried ‘You Tiao’ sandwiches? Saw the menu that was placed outside the café and the Le Char Kuey do seem interesting to try. It is actually ‘You Tiao’ stuffed with local delights fillings like Chicken Curry, Laksa or Bak Kwa.




The furnitures were mixed and matched with some retro, some old-school and some modern elements. It is a fun and cute little cafe and very cosy.



What's so special about Flee Away is that the entire cafe follows an old-school theme. If you are from the 80s and 90s, you will totally love this place. It aroused my nostalgia from my parent younger days so much. It brought me back all the way to my parent's primary school days where five stones and pick up sticks were the games they played every morning at the school courtyard before the bell rung.





Iced water with fresh mint leaves is available near the counter where you have to order and make payment first.





A signature that's deemed as a must-try over here, you've got to ignore how much calories it packs. Le Char Kuey basically refers to the special bun, custom made with a blend of dough fritters (油条) for the crispness outside, and fluffy baguette on the inside. It comes with 10 different fillings, with dry laksa being their most popular.



I am actually quite worried that the ‘You Tiao’ will be oily. To my surprise, it is neither oily nor dry and it goes well with the laska fillings. The ‘You Tiao’ is soft and it actually taste like croissant ( except it is not too buttery). The Laksa filling was tasty; worth a try. Chockful of eggs, fishcakes, 
dried baby shrimp, and tau po. 
The serving is actually quite big and it is good to share for 2. For most cafes, the sandwiches will usually go along with fries. However at Flee away café, the LE Char Kuey comes with a side of mini papadums and salad instead. How creative!




There is an unspoken love attraction to luncheon meat here in Singapore. It is one word that draws attention to the eyeballs. Quite a number of cafes are serving the luncheon fries these days i.e. deep fried thick cut strips of luncheon. Comfort food! Flee Away serves chicken luncheon chips with what I think is a lemon mayo dip. The tangy dip is quite appetising I must say 



An interesting dessert with a ball of sago seeds, we were supposed to drizzle gula melaka and coconut milk over it. While the chewy sago seeds tasted unique, its waffle didn't quite impress as it was a tad too stiff. Good thing that the owner of Flee Away, was receptive to feedback, and you can hopefully expect better waffles when you visit the next time round.






The staff of Flee Away Café is very friendly and makes your experience there a much pleasant one. You can enjoy fabulous food and drinks with friends while listening to great music in a comfortable ambiance. So when in Rochor area, look out for Flee Away Cafe! It is located in a central location in downtown where you can almost watch the entire town pass you by – if you stay long enough.

Advance 18th dinner // Criollo cocoa cafe

Sunday was definitely a pleasant day for me as both Bf and I have our couple time together to celebrate our advance 18th Monthsary. WOW, we are 18th month old already! Time definitely pass very fast. So glad to be able to spend my weekend with him even though we see each other for 48 hours, we never and never get sick with one another and he loves my company alot. Of course I DO TOO!

Just before he left the house in the morning, we went to Group on to search for nice and cheap deal to dine in for our dinner and guess what? We came across to this deal from Criollo Cocoa which sells $15 for a price of $30 worth of food/ drinks. We being the greedy one, opted for the $30 deal and we received $60 worth of cash. Means we can get $60 worth of food and drinks from their menu. Sounds like a good plan yeah?


Criollo Cocoa Cafe


Criollo Cocoa was located at Orchard getaway, a small little cafe which was situated in one corner. It was quite empty when we reached there at 5pm. Cafe is spacious and there are tables by the window that are perfect for people-watching. We were lucky enough to get seat near the window!




Extensive menu they have and the price was tad expensive comparing to those cafes that I have patron. Couldn't blame as it was held in Orchard, furthermore a place where many ATAS people would dine and shop about.




As the café named after a cocoa bean, the signature dish and drink made from chocolate. The Dark Hot Chocolate ($6.50) is a must try. It tasted thick, rich and creamy chocolate flavour. Not only that, Bf added in caramel to sweeten the whole beverage. Well balance in term of sweetness, however the latte art is just cute and refreshing. Just look at the TEDDY BEAR!!! How could one resist it man!

I ordered the Chocolate freeze ($7.80) and really love how it taste although the ice numb my gum alot and I found it hard to suck the drink by using a thin straw. No offence but maybe they should change the size of the straw or else I will be sucking up the air instead.




Truffle fries ( $8.90)
I was disappointed at the sight of their truffle fries. It looks bland and seemed tasteless to me but once I picked one and savour it, it totally changed the concept of how I felt earlier on. As one saying that 'do not judge the book by its cover". Its true that the things that you see is not what you expect. Anyway, this truffle fries is tasty!


The big breakfast ($19.90)
Scrambled eggs, bacon, chicken sausage, baked beans, grilled tomato, sautéed mushrooms, pommes noisettes and buttered toast

I feel they have over-priced this big breakfast. How could a chicken sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs and a few more items cost so much? I don't remember having almost $20 for a big breakfast. My max budget is roughly $16! But since I have the cash voucher to go, I shall be generous in ordering.



From the meat lovers selection, BF sampled the Mixed Grilled Platter ($19.90). The mixed grilled consist of grilled chicken, bacon, chorizo sausage, served with fries and salsa sauce. The grilled chicken and bacon is tender and succulent, while the bacon is on the salty side. They even have truffle fries for their side! MY OH MY, I felt like a potato woman that day. Have been feeding myself too much of potato. Calories intake ah!!

Bf was well prepared enough to bring his bagpack along so that we can spend more time together before he returns back to Tekong for his intensive 19 days of stay in camp. We spent rest of the time shopping together as I shopped mine, he patiently waited for me and gave in lots of advice, ensuring that the apparel will look good on me.

Thanks for the mini celebration although we don't really get to celebrate together on the actual day. But time like this spent is already good enough for me! No high expectation but learn to feel contented easily (:

Happy 18th month for today and LOVE YOU ALOT.

Till then.
