~ A Dinner With Le Bro @ Hoshino Coffee (Plaza Singapura) ~

Again, this was a quite "ancient" post, haha. But anyway, I finally went to have a DINNER at Hoshino Coffee in Plaza Singapura! Why do I make this sounds like something very exciting?

Wells, it was because I went to this place for a few times, but only for some tea times, didn't really try out their food. Heard from my colleagues and friends that their curry rice definitely is a must try, and finally the chance came! xD



Of course you all can refer HERE for my another visit to Hoshino previously. =) I decided to order the "Hoshino" Pot-Baked Curry Rice (SGD 15.00) since a lot of people recommend this dish.

~ A Hidden Gem In Cuppace Terrace, Somerset : Wine Connection ~

When a meal comes with a glass of wine, people would mostly connected this to "atas" aka high standard of dining, which means expensive in general. Well, fret not! You don't have to worry about burning a hole in your pocket while savouring yourself in a good meal that comes with a glass of good wine, cuz you definitely can have it all in Wine Connection! =)

I was absolutely clueless about this place if wasn't my friend, Connie brought me there to try out. =) Really have no idea that there is actually a hidden gem in Cuppace Terrace! =O Oh wells, before I share with you guys more on the great food, some of you might be wondering where Cuppace Terrace is, right? Let me fill you in. xD

~ 我与女王有个约会之谢谢你(不)爱我签书会 @ Bras Basah Complex ~

我很喜欢看书,也很喜欢买书,当然有些作者的书我也是有固定性地"追踪", 好像刘墉,刘轩,戴晨志,村上春树等,而女王就是其中一名。话说回来其实我刚开始只是从网络上"认识"她,知道她是一名部落客,后来知道她也是一名作家后,我当然很兴奋,因为这样的话我就可以看她的书了。=)

谢谢你(不)爱我,是女王最新的著作,是她想藉由自己所犯的错误,所遇到的挫折,然后如何从这些失败中得到教训,从挫折中成长,告诉大家:生命之所以美好,是因为它的不完美。所有那些不美好的事情,都是让我们成长,才能成就今天的我们。=)


我本来并不知道女王原来也有来新加坡举办签书会,只是知道她在吉隆坡书展办签书分享会,我超羡慕那些有出席的朋友们,更恨不得自己可以飞过去参加她的签书会,奈何我人在新加坡,实在是没有办法抽出时间回去大马,所以就只好作罢。

~ Tsukado Najo Bijin Nabe aka beauty pot (美人锅) @ Plaza Singapura ~

Yup, you saw nothing wrong of the title of my post, it is BEAUTY POT we had! xD It was not my first visit to this place but it was the FIRST time I got to eat it cuz the waiting list for the day was CLOSED during my first visit. Super crazy huh? But it wasn't that good for my second visit cuz we still need to wait for around an hour before we can start our dinner. We were all already famished by the time we were inside. >.<

You all must be wondering what it is that caused such crazy queue and waiting right? Wells, it is actually a hotpot using quality collagen soup of Jidori chicken from Mizayaki, Japan and served with various vegetables, shrimps and other ingredients. And it doesn't have any MSG added. The bijin nabe is SGD 25 per pax and the pot serves a minimum of 2 pax. =)

~ Cafe Hunting To A Hidden Gem In Toa Payoh : Creamier ~

Again, this is also another late post of my cafe hunting but yeah, I did tried my best to update most of them now. =) I've heard of this place or rather, saw the review of it online and definitely know that everybody LOVE the waffle and ice-cream from Creamier! *excited*

But the visit seemed to have the "urge" (I think) to travel all the way down to the North side since I'm staying at the East side of Singapore (yeah, you may said that I'm not keen but seriously, I'm quite lazy and don't really fond of traveling far during weekend, lol). And finally, when Melissa said that she can bring me there since she lived around that area and since I've wanted to hang out with her other than during work so why not? xD

~ Coffee With Cute Latte Art @ Chock Full Of Beans, Changi Village ~

It's really paiseh for me only to blog about this cafe now cuz it was a super long time ago that I paid visit to chock full of beans in Changi Village. >.< But anyway, the main reason that attract me to this place is their super adorable latte art!! =)



That day me, Connie and her bf, Keinth, we all went to the travel fair at expo. Since we were already at the east side so we decided to go to Changi Village. After we had a quite sumptous dinner at the Changi Village Food Centre, we headed to Chock Full Of Beans for our coffee and desserts fixing. xD

~ Trip To Ho Chi Minh : Day 1 @ Ho Chi Minh City Tour (Part 1) ~

Day 1 (25/6/2014) -Part 1
About 5a.m. like that we went to check in (reluctantly waking ourselves up lol), which was 2 hours before our flight. =) We also had breakfast after we check-in. Our breakfast were those typical local breakfast, the rest were having nasi lemak set as breakfast but I decided to have toast since I was quite worried of the chili sauce in it was sweet. >.< I also ordered Starbucks coffee too, haha. =P


Before night after we had our supper at Pastamania, Alexis drew this while we were sitting at Dunkin' Donuts, haha. The drawing was cute and it also can be used as a signboard for our group, lol! =P

~ A Non-Strangers' Reunion @ Strangers' Reunion ~

Strangers' Reunion, when this cafe first came across my head, I was like: "Wow, the name is so interesting!" But what really captured my attention was mainly positive reviews of the food and coffee there, and ALMOST everyone recommend that the waffle there is a MUST TRY!! =)

So I just can't seems to find a reason of not going there and try their food and coffee out. I instantly regret of NOT paying a visit to this cafe earlier! Their food were quite up to standard and the coffee and waffles they served definitely is AWESOME!! =)



It was a casual Friday after work evening, me and Mandy, her bf and Ah Fui decided to meet up for dinner. Of course I would suggest Strangers' Reunion! xD It is located at Kampong Bahru Road which is nearer to Outram Park station. Here's a small reminder for you guys: It's much nearer to walk from the exit of Purple Line instead of the Green Line. =)

♥ ~ 这一刻,爱吧 2014 ~ ♥

<爱情,有多长的保鲜期?有些人为了梦想得接受远距离的试炼,有些人感觉不对了,果决喊停,让人措手不及。或许爱情曾经遗弃了你,但在送走悲伤后请不要放弃爱,它可能站在下一个转角等着,要让你的心脏再一次用力的跳动,这一刻,爱吧! >

不久前 我在facebook看到有朋友share了一个video,以为是新的电视剧预告片,原来不是。它是一部微电影,叫做 "这一刻,爱吧"。我刚开始并不知道原来它已经有2012和2013两部了,还以为只有2014这一部而已。呵呵,我还真的outdate,真不好意思。=P


从一开始我就被它深深地吸引是因为2014这一部都是我蛮喜欢的演员所主演---林依晨,陈柏霖还有柯震东,当然我最喜欢的还是林依晨和陈柏霖,虽然他们俩在这一部微电影里并不是在一起,可是没关系,能够再一次地看到他们的合作也应经很不错了,嘻嘻。=)

~ Follow The Nguyens To Vietnam : Trip To Ho Chi Minh ~

Ok, finally I'm going to update you guys on my recent trip/holidays/vacation, whatever you wanna call it haha. =) This is the first time I write a travel post, so will try my best to provide all the details and the informations that you might need and refer when you wanna travel to there. =)


The Happy Nguyenssss~ Haha!
Really been longing for a break from my stagnant lifestyle so I asked my bestie Alexis whether she wanted to go on a trip with me or not since we also never been to a trip together before. Then after that Connie and her bf, Keinth also joined in and became our travel buddies. =)

~ Get Your Eyes Tricked @ Trick Eye Museum, Resorts World Sentosa ~

Hi everyone, I'm back finally!!! xD Just came back from my holidays not long ago, had a really great one with my Nguyen Alexis, Nguyen Connie and Nguyen Keinth, lolol. =P No worry, will definitely update you guys about my trip soon here!!! And you will know why we all called each other Nguyen now, lol.

Anyway, gonna update about my visit to this newly opened Trick Eye Museum at RWS aka Resorts World Sentosa not long ago before my short holidays. This museum is originated in Korea, so there is a BIGGER one in Korea, but for people who still haven't got the chance to travel to Korea, we can just go to this one in Singapore instead, haha. =)

~ A Pretend-To-Be-Hardworking Dinner @ Miam Miam, Bugis ~

It was a quite impromptu dinner date as I really didn't had any plan that day but then I suddenly received whatsapp from Janessa asking whether wanna meet for dinner or not. Of course I'll said YES! Then the dinner just set with total 6 of us, Janessa, her bf Royce, Connie, her bf Keinth, Yuki and me! =)

The dinner was set at Bugis so we decided to head for Miam Miam as we never tried it out before. Miam Miam is the combination of French artisanal cuisine and Japanese culinary. And I saw a lot of people highly recommended their French Toast as one the must-try when you are there but unfortunately we didn't ordered that. Will reveal more later on. =/


Anyway, before I proceed with my post, I got one photo I wanted to post, haha! My friends sent me their pic showing that they were all waiting for me and asked me to hurry!! Wells, since you guys sent me that, I think I shall posted it here for sharing! HAHA. xD

~ Affordable & Nice Western Cuisine @ Rice And Fries ~

It was a hot Sunday evening and I decided to meet Yuki (who was still in Singapore that time) for dinner. I've met her up in Kembangan since she stayed there and while we're still being indecisive of what to eat for dinner, suddenly I thought about this cafe called "Rice and Fries". =)

I remembered that one of the blogger review that I read stated that this place located within walking distance from Kembangan MRT station, when I still had no idea where is it as we tried to walk to somewhere near the Kembangan Plaza (where I have my Korean lessons there), suddenly I spotted it!!! Hahaha, lucky me! It's just located opposite the road behind Kembangan Plaza. =)

~ Spend A Nice Weekend With Friends From North ~

Yes, I know I'm super SLOW cuz it's been a LONG while that my friends made their visit to Singapore and only till now then I blog about it. Really didn't have any spare time to update my blog despite of my super busy works that caused me to OT like everyday? And been going out these few weekends, so yeah, that's why I don't have time to blog. *sob sob* Hopefully after this I will have more time to update you guys more, hehe. xD

Actually I've got to know that Alexis and the rest (Jenice, Sookyann, Sookyann's sis and Anthony) will be coming down to Singapore on Saturday as she already told me before hand. So I asked some of my friends to come out and be their "tour guide" of the day, haha. =P

Photo credits to Sook Yann's sis, super love this shot! =)

Our first destination was the Singapore's most famous tourist attraction - Sentosa. And no, we do not go there for the universal studio but just went there to take some pictures only, haha. xD Here are a few photos that were taken in Sentosa. =)

~ 听见你的声音 너의 목소리가 들려 I Can Hear Your Voice ~

看完了,看完了!啊~~~~ 好难接受啊!为什么这部剧只有18集而已?xD 应该长一点才是啊~ 那么我就可以多看多帅哥李钟硕几眼(应该不止几眼吧,哈哈!=P) 好啦,好象越扯越远了,不好意思!>.< 我真的、真的觉得这部戏非常,十分,绝对好看!(又在滥用辅助词了!xD) 我是真心的觉得这部剧非常值得一看,绝对不是,不只是因为李钟硕,也因为蛮有创意的剧情和构思,所以才觉得好看的,嘻嘻~ xD


对对对,我也懂这是一部蛮久以前的戏,没有办法啦,实在是很难抽空出来好好地把手头上的戏追完,一个list这么长咧,lol. *叹气* 不过,我是看完了最近超火红的"来自星星的你",才开始看这一部的,可是我却用更快的速度看完这一部戏,因为真的很紧张!!>.<

~ A Long-Time-No-Have-Breakfast/Brunch @ Five And Dime Eatery ~

It's been quite long time since I last had a PROPER breakfast or brunch, too lazy to go out lately. >.< So finally I managed to drag myself out from my slumber land and met up with my bestie, Alexis for breakfast. Of course she will have the first priority since she traveled to Singapore. (When is your turn Shing?! xD)

I decided to go to Five and Dime which is located at River Valley (which is quite "ulu" by the way) as I saw this place received quite a few of good reviews on its food and the dining environment. =) I wanna said a BIG thanks to my friend, Tuckh Poon for finding out the way to get to the destination =P



After almost half an hour of walking, we finally reached! xD God knows how sunny it was... >.< While we were waiting for Alexis's boyfriend, Ah Fui to join us, we were also waiting for our table. So here's a little reminder for you all, please make a reservation before you come as this place is very crowded during weekend. >.<

~ A Night Of Spanish @ Serenity Spanish Bar & Restaurant ~

I've always had Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Western, Thai or even French cuisine, but still haven't got the chance to try out Spanish or something similar to Mediterranean-style cuisine. So when I met up with Connie, and her boyfriend, Kj for the FIRST TIME (I mean I know him, but only from facebook, lol), we decided to try out this place - Serenity Spanish Bar & Restaurant in Vivo City, Harbourfront. xD

Serenity is a place that serves authentic Spanish flavours and culture delicious cuisine. Their specialties are tapas, paellas (Spanish rice), Spanish style suckling pig, pork knuckles, Sangria (Spanish wine cocktails), etc. =)



You can absolutely have an enjoyable dining experience as they have alfresco area that face Sentosa. If you wanted to bring your date to a romantic dinner and need some wines to lift the mood up? Fret not! They have a good and wide selection of wines! =)

~ Cafe Hunting : The Bravery Cafe @ Horne Road, Lavender ~

This post supposed to be up quite long time ago, but yet due to the malfunction of my keyboard, I only got to put all these posts up now. =( This cafe is one of the cafe on my lists that I wanted to pay a visit in Lavender area. (Another one that I wanted to go so badly is the Chye Seng Huat Hardware which is very famous for its coffee!)

It's very hard to tell from the exterior of the place that it is actually a cafe. And what makes it even harder to find out the place is they have no signboard at all. Like no any signs written "Bravery Cafe", but you can tell that it's a cafe cuz you can see that there are people chilling and enjoying their cuppa coffee inside, lol.



It was a rainy Sunday and I met up with Esther, who is Alice's best friend and somehow now become my friend too, haha. Life itself sometimes is weird yet wonderful at the same time, what fated is fated, you can never tell what's gonna happens next right? =)

~ My Spiciest 24th Birthday Celebration @ Casa Verde, Botanical Gardens ~

Yes, I'm now 24 already, I start to feel so old now! *sob sob* Sometimes the thought of having so little time but yet you still have so many things to do and to achieve in life kinda freak me out. A few accidents happened just within this few months and some even happened to my close friends' family or friends, I totally can feel that our life are too fragile, you will never when is the end so we must remind ourselves to cherish and live our life to the fullest! =)

My birthday fell on a special occasion, which is the International Women's Day! Hahaha, that's why my friends all like to say that I'm a 38 people (means that I'm "gepoh" aka busybody, lol). Wells, maybe I am but I'm just trying to be helpful ok! xD


My friends brought me to this hidden gem inside botanical gardens, Casa Verde, a place that served Italian cuisine in the midst of the green nature. You can enjoy your meal and the beauty of nature at the same time! Sounds like a great experience, haha! xD

~ i-Light Festival @ Marina Bay & Say Hi To April! ~

Hi everyone, long time no see! 好久不见!오랜만에 ,여러분.Or I should said that it's been a SUPER LONG time since I last update my blog. Really really sorry for the long awaited update here but I just spoil my own laptop due to my own carelessness!!! >.< Guess what? I accidentally spilled some hot coffee onto my laptop. WTH, THAT WAS SO BRILLIANT OF ME, WASN'T IT?!!! *keep scolding myself*

Anyway, it's April now already! Oh My God, time flies! Three months of the year has gone and I feel like I done nothing much so far. *sigh* But hopefully the following months will turn out to be more exciting and I'm so looking forward to June as I already got an overseas trip set by then! Anticipating, hehe. xD

I had a great March as I just celebrated my birthday and my best friend, Alexis came over to Singapore together with some friends from my hometown last two weeks ago! Will updated them in more details in my blog soon! Here some sneak peek of the pictures of my birthday and their short trip here! =)

~ Cafe Hunting : Group Therapy & Quarter To Three @ Tanjong Pagar ~

Tucked away on the 2nd storey of a shophouses in Duxton Hill, Group Therapy Cafe provides space to allow groups to gather and seek respite in the heart of CBD (Central Business District) area. The group therapy cafe endeavor to live by the mantra of providing bespoke experiences for anyone who seeks a place away from the daily grind. =)

Know the existence of this cafe from other cafe hoppers' blog and when my friend, Mandy asked me whether I wanna go and try the place out or not, I immediately said yes of course! xD This cafe located at Duxton Hill, which is somewhere behind the famous 2D1N Soju Bang Korean BBQ restaurant. Now sounds more easy to find out this cafe right? xD



If you didn't do enough "research" a.k.a. homework before you start your cafe hunting, you might missed out the place! =O You will see a sign board indicates that the group therapy cafe is located on the 2nd storey of a row of shophouses, to make sure you able to find the place, haha! =P

~ A Hidden Boutique Cafe : Vanity Haus @ Ipoh ~

This post was supposed to be up a long time ago but apparently I keep updating my blog on more places that I've been to recently, that's why I keep dragging this post and sort of forgetting about it. =P (And I'm very sure my friends especially that David sure will tease me about this.)

Anyway, that's not the main point. I had a gathering with my good old buddies Kinki, Candy and David during the last time I went back to my hometown. We wanted to go to B.E.D. (Bread Espresso Dessert) initially but we changed to this hidden cafe at Canning Garden since we were unable to get ourselves nice seats at B.E.D. >.<



We really didn't know the existence of the boutique cafe until David brought us there. It's really well-hidden I must said, lol. Vanity Haus is located in a midst of residential houses in Canning Garden. If you didn't pay attention carefully, you could have missed out this place!

~ 有些人,藏在心底从未忘记 ~

哈哈,好熟悉的title,是吧?没错,就是在电影 "被偷走的那五年" 中的经典台词 --- 有些人,在心底从来未忘记。或许生活上再也没有交集,也不再提起某些人的名字,其实你们心里比谁都还要清楚地知道,这些人,都被藏在心里的某个角落、某个抽屉,不曾忘记过。


刚刚看到了台湾著名部落客和作者--女王在网上所分享她和前男友多年后相聚的情景,有这么一段文字看得我鼻头有点酸,有点想哭的冲动。她说: "我们都相逢在最好的时光,却不一定是最对的时候。"

~ Pre-Christmas Dinner + Gathering @ Au Chocolat ~

Okay, so... one of my new year resolution  is "update my blog as soon as I can", so I'm gonna keep my promise and update you guys on my pre-Christmas post with my old buddies first

Wanted to write the whole Christmas in one post but I don't think can as this will be a quite long post. =P So do looking forward to my post on Christmas! xD So after a few discussions in whatsapp, we chose Au Chocolat at Marina Bay Sands as the venue of our pre-christmas dinner + gathering. =)




Some of you might be wondering why we didn't have this dinner on Christmas day itself or Christmas' Eve, I was really hoping for that but unfortunately some of them were unable to make it therefore we changed it to the Sunday before Christmas. =)


I like how the place looks like, the whole place is fulled of "European feel", and the place got that "atas" feel. Can't think of any proper words to describe the place, so I will let the photos do all the talking. xD

~ An Affordable Yet Quality French Cuisine @ Saveur ~

Yes, like a finally! Finally I got the chance to dine in Saveur! xD For those who has been reading my blog, sure know why is like a finally to me. Oh wells, wanted to go last time but we ended up at this J K Don, haha! And this time round also with the same people just lack of Alice. >.<


Photo credits to Saveur's facebook
This time round we chose a weekend to go, since weekend is a more suitable timing for all of us instead of a weekday. Saveur got two outlets and the one we went is the main one, which is located at Purvis Street, somewhere near to Bugis and Bras Basah.

Hi everyone,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! *hands clapping*



It's the first day of year 2014, how's your year 2013 have been? Whether it's good or bad, we should take the good, leave the bad, remember the lessons and move forward! =) How do you all celebrate your New Year Eve? Bet most of you sure had lotsa fun right? ^.^

~ Second Gathering With The Xuejis @ Yomenya Goeman & TWG ~

I know I should be writing my Christmas post now but I must get a few posts done first before I write that one. Still quite in holiday mood now, feel quite lazy to write, and been going out quite often recently (had a few Christmas dinner lately, will update soon. xD), that's why I don't have much time to sit still and complete my post. (Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle all the way... Haha, I missed Christmas! =P)

Anyway, after my first gathering with my Xue Ji fellows last time at Pique Nique, Kah Seng arranged another XueJi outing. But with more people this time round although some of them unable to turn up due to their personal matters, but we always looking forward to our next gathering. =)



Yomenya Goemon, a Japanese spaghetti house, where they cook the spaghetti in a Japanese way is the venue of our second gathering that night. =) There are a few outlets of Yomenya Goeman and we went to the Marina Bay Link mall that one.
