Weekend

My weekends are normally filled with a bunch of activities: dating with boyfriend, cafe-hopping, shopping, walking around the town with my man, Once in a while, whenever I have a chance to get away from all of these, to have some time for myself, I always feel so appreciated.
It started all with meeting my buyer at our nearby station to pass her the apparel that she purchased. But of course she gave me an impression of being unfriendly. I showed my enthusiasm by striking a conversation with her but to me, she seemed like she's not willing to talk to me. Simply grabbed her item and left without saying 'thank you'. But oh well, not complaining, perhaps its just not her day today.
After which, I went to satisfy my craving by ordering my favourite caramel milk tea from cup-walker which my love for their milk tea never once died off. Cheaper than gongcha/ KOI/ shared tea or other bubble tea shop out there.


In the evening, I attended my friend's 21st birthday party which was situated at  7 Gosport Road at Aloha Changi. Lucky I met up with a few other netballers to go with me because this chalet is so remote and scary especially when you walk alone at night. The chalet was so far end from where the bus stop was and we have to walk by foot to reach the destination. Imagine you are walking alone and someone was tailing you behind?


Attending friend's 21st birthday can be a little awkward because not only the main host will invite this group of friends, he/she will also invite her relatives/ primary/ secondary/ polytechnic friends which you may not know any of them. It make it more awkward when they stared at you when they see you entering into the chalet. LIKE HELLO, WE ARE NOT ALIEN PLEASE. But of course that night, I managed to catch up with some long time no see school mates. But awkwardly, I still stick with my netball girls.





Coincidentally when I took a picture with them, I realised all of us are MARCH BABIES. Just a few days of difference. 10/12/15 March. So can I conclude that we are MARCH BABIES GANG?




 My twinny who stayed next door whom I have not seen her for very long. Didn't really got a chance to chat with her but still managed to pull to take a picture with me. Must grab every of the chance that we have.







So here comes the main host for tonight. Her romper simply matches the design of the cake. So sweet lilac colour. And the hazelnut + lychee martini from pine garden was awesomely good. I tried other flavours cake from Pine garden and I would say that they have the best cream cake ever. Not only the price is reasonable, the service was up to their standard.

Thanks Kling for inviting us to your birthday party. Apologised that we left pretty early to catch our last bus. But its really nice to see each of you turning 21. Our bonds form from secondary 1 till now didn't fade off, and it even went stronger. Hope to see a full team on the next birthday.
HAPPY 21ST IN ADVANCE.
MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE

Till then.

L'etoile cafe


Caught up with Joel Ang at L'etoile Cafe since he did not have to go back to his camp on Monday. And also taking this chance to treat dinner as my birthday gift. What he gave earlier on was surprising funny. A red packet with 1 piece of $2 note and a dollar coin. So I asked if there's any meaningful meaning behind it? He replied '"OF COURSE, 2 +1= 21 lor!'' He and his funny/ weird idea.


Visited this place that is inspired by the indie cafes in Japan. It's located near Farrer Park MRT station. About 5 minutes walk from there!



We didn't know that we could sit at the level two till later on, after our meals, that I decided to go up to have a look. But even so, I love how they furnish the place where "everything doesn't really have to match". It was a nice environment to be in.

This is L’etoile Cafe’s standard menu which is cutely hand written as seen below. The menu is relatively varied ranging from all day breakfast to pastas and even asian food.


I ordered my all time favourite Eggs Benedict  ($12.90)
(2 servings of multi-grain bread, topped with ham, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce with a serving of salad on the side)
One thing special about this was that it was served with multi-grain toasts instead of muffins, unlike the usual eggs benny elsewhere! The hollandaise sauce was a little sour for my liking but the eggs were poached perfectly. 


French Toast with Scrambled Eggs and Bacon ($8.50)
Ang ordered his French toast and i'm like bread for dinner, full meh?
 The French Toast here taste eggy, like how I would have done at home, drizzled with maple syrup or ice-cream. However, I didn't like the fact that they used two pieces of bread to form a “thick toast”.  The scrambled eggs were nicely done. The bacon looked kinda dry and hard based on the appearance.  Overall I think it is very value for money considering some other café probably charges more for the same.


Truffle fries ($12)
The minute when truffle fries was served, we looked at each other and stared into space. Like seriously, such a big plate of fries? Could be easily finish up by 4 people but so torturing to be shared by two. I guess its quite worth the price though. I have a love-hate relationship with truffle fries; sometimes I think the gasoline-ish aftertaste is gross, sometimes I think there’s not enough truffle oil drenched onto my fries. But this truffle fries satisfied me.
Matcha Azuki Chiffon ($6.90)
The Matcha Azuki Chiffon comprised of a light matcha chiffon coated with azuki beans and buttercream. The perfectly combined flavours of the matcha and the azuki beans were a delight. The matcha was ever-present in each mouthful and was not over powering while the beans gave it a nice bite and a well-placed burst of flavour.  Its definitely one of my favourite green tea cake.




I really like the fact that it's not too crowded, definitely a great place for reading, studying, or hanging out with your friends.
