Badoque Colleague Farewell

30th July 2015















Farewell, to the man whose word we trusted more than operating procedures, checklists and manuals. Your knowledge and experience was always beyond par.
Badoque dinner with the fellow colleagues to mark off a good journey for Rozmail who has been here for us when we need help in any IT matters. Badoque was located at Upper Thomson which is near udders or rather beside a Thai Mookata restaurant. The serving was really big and the 4 ladies shared 3 dishes but yet we couldn't clear up the food. 

We were rather pleased that one of the colleague treated us with their appetizer and just having their snacks filled up 1/2 of my tummy. When the main dishes arrived, I was about to diagnose into food coma stage! We tried the buffalo wings and the spicy level was 8-9. Everyone was perspiring while cleaning up the wings. It was ridiculous that they don't serve plain water and all of us have to suffer over the spiciness. 

Next we ordered their Nasi Biriyani, Grilled Salmon and Sausage Pasta. I'm quite a good fan of their salmon but the Nasi Biriyani chicken was a tad hard to bite. All of us gobbled down the pasta because the marination and combination was good.

We ended off our dinner with udders and im surprised that my tummy has space for DESSERT!

Till then.

Habitat Coffee X TGIF

Pretty love how steady my colleague is. I was merely telling her that I'm craving for waffles ice cream and she, herself was craving for truffles fries so I tried my luck by asking her if she wants to have dinner together. And YES, she agreed! 

But because our knock-off timing was different ( + she was held up by our principal for some urgent slides), it resulted to having to wait for her for 2 hours. This two hours spent at my office and also travelling down to her campus to look for you. Oh well, since its a TGIF. A little wait never kills.



We travelled down to Upper thomson, Habitat coffee which sells both Waffles and Truffle fries ( 2 in 1), we don't have to travel for 2 places for our craving. Upon arriving, I saw cakes displaying on the shelves and got me drooling/ tempting me to order everything on the shelves but still my priority is WAFFLES.

I was disappointed by their all day breakfast which ended at 5.30pm ): Aren't that those office ladies and gentlemen won't get to eat as they end their work after 6pm? They should adjust their brunch menu to all day!



Truffle al funghi ($17)
Creamy truffle wild mushroom pasta with baby spinach
Fresh baby spinach was placed on top of the creamy spaghetti. This was perhaps too creamy for my liking and a bowl like this can be too costly given by their ingredients.



Truffle fries ($9)
The truffle fries was drizzled with fine grated parmesan. It doesn't has the strong truffle smell compared to the one that I had at P.S cafe. But of course, it was pretty big in portion and given by the acceptable price, it was all good! Was told by Ying Wei that she was disappointed with the truffle fries.



Waffles with a scoop of sea salt caramel ice cream ($8)

I can't tell how good can a waffles is. The best waffles I had would be Sunday Folks/ Creamier! Other than that, the rest wouldn't compete with them so i will not compliment that their waffles is good but at least I love their ice-cream.

TGIF ( Wafflelicious at Upper thomson)

Finally Im done with my posts for my BKK trip, so much of feelings for this trip but when it comes to stringing it into words, the feelings overtook my thoughts. Nonetheless, I was glad that I made it through with all the wordings and reflection for this trip. Good to go! Some little updates on my the past few days.


Officially done with my 2 days course that happened on Thursday and Friday. A long dragging hours and participation (9am-5pm). Surprisingly, it was a good course which unable me to doze off in class. Pretty sure what it made the whole course entertaining and happening were my colleagues and the trainer who made the effort to crack up some jokes and to make the class so lively. I survived through this with an ached on my tummy because we literally laughed too much over that 8 hours of lecture.
A small pat on the back for receiving this certificate! 'EXCELLENT PEOPLE SKILLS AT WORK'. Oh well, kinda upgrade me to a higher level. This course costs around $750 ( no joke!). Was glad that the school sponsor us to attend it without paying any cents.
 
So in the mid of congratulating the receiver, Jael photo-bombed in with her face. Okay, sensor her expression because its kind of scary. HAHAHA. 
Hahaha, a nicer pose for them. And a closure of this course. We are turning into a successful person.

TGIF night, Bf and I had dinner at Wafflelicious located at Upper Thomson Road. This was my second trip with him and I have to admit that its a best cafe to sit back and relax. Everyone craves sweet treats once in awhile. Other than Pancakes, another favorite of mine would definitely have to be waffles.


Wafflelicious has a huge range of waffle flavors and different choice of ice cream. Prices are affordable as well.

And as you can see, apart from ordering their 'ready-made' waffle combinations, you can also create your own waffles with your choice of waffle, gelato, and toppings. 

 Mango soda ( sprite with mango syrup) as simple as that. ($3.50)
Sharing is caring so we shared a plate of waffle as Bf had his dinner while attending his course at Temasak CC.
This is my first time I'm trying this out. I had the waffle set A instead ($11.90)
Wafflelicious W.i.C.H - A 'sandwich' made out of plain waffles, parmesan cheese, honey-baked ham and fresh veggies, and served with a jumbo chicken sausage, buttered corn and baked beans. You also get to choose 2 sauces for the sausage, BBQ or Mustard. 
Other than the buttered corn, which we found to be way too watery and not buttery enough, the rest of this dish was just plain yummy! First up, you can't mess up baked beans and you don't see me complaining much about sausages/bratswurts and yes it's really all about the waffle-wich.
