Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters

Long overdue post (and a long time since I last posted) but here goes: Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters. Been there twice since it opened but only ate there once. Their coffee's not too bad and the food choices really give you a massive headache because I can hardly come to a decision ever! It's just too hard because everything sounds like it's going to be really yummy. Looking forward to returning at the end of the year or start of next year to try something else on the menu or see what new items they may come up with.

P.S. the honey comb tiles, white and brown colour combination, and concrete floor also had me walking around the place with heart-shaped eyes. Don't you agree?

Riders Café

After dreaming of going to Riders (but not because it's a hassle to get there) for months and months, I finally did on my day off in lieu with my dearest sister. Have to admit though, the burger was such a disappointment. Regretfully, the breakfast menu was over by the time we arrived so I didn't get the chance to try their famous eggs benedict. Shall have to return for it next time; made plans with my friends for that now that I know where it is. Maybe I will make my way to Pasarbella from there to buy macarons too. Oooh, am I getting excited for it already!

PS, I absolutely adore how the light falls on those lovely spots there; had a blast capturing them with my camera.

With love (hope you are all well), Pei.

Old Laid Back Charm

Some of these photos are obviously taken with my digital slr. I finally bought it after wanting one for so many years. I just had to make sure I wasn't going to waste the money invested into it.

Back to the post, I've always loved Tiong Bahru. Not sure if it's the laid back feeling you get from the place or the old but charming buildings or even the food there (not talking about cafes since they're new and cannot be counted as part and parcel of the old charm). I'm going to say all of the above. Tiong Bahru just holds a special place in my heart and even more so now because of the litter of cafes about the place. Here are some of the favourites shown above: Flock Café, Plain Vanilla and 40 Hands.

Hope you've all been well from my short hiatus from blogging. It's been a really long month but things are turning for the better already.

PS Café, Dempsey Hill

It's been a while since I last posted, as always. I keep trying, and failing, to update this space more frequently. Anyway, life's pretty great for me now. Everything just seems to be in the right place, I'm not lacking of anything and it all feels great. I'll probably start worrying about university soon though but I still have time to put that off for a bit.

Anyway I went to PS @ Dempsey with Cee at the start of April. The space is seriously gorgeous and the vibe was on point. However, we didn't really enjoy our time there as you would think. They forgot about our order, so we waited about an hour before finally getting our food, and when we asked for the bill, they gave us the wrong one too. On top of that, I thought the food was just alright, that it wasn't fantastic. We had differing preference about their truffle fries though. I thought it was nice but I liked the ones at Café Melba better. Cee, however, preferred the one here more.

What are your thoughts to that?

Anthesis

Haven't been able to blog due to my crazy busy schedule and also because for a little more than a week, my laptop was sent for repairing. Anyway here's some photos I've been meaning to upload a while ago.

This day holds a special place in my heart. Michelle came back for a visit from Korea and it's just so good to be able to see and talk to her again. I've almost forgotten how incredible it feels to be able to spend the day with her, talking about everything. I'm often nostalgic about the time when she was working in the same company I was interning at. She helped me love life and Singapore so much more than before. I'm just really grateful to God for the people He decides to put in my life.

Hope you've all had a wonderful January and that February would be even better!

Drury Lane

I totally meant to post a couple more posts this school break but time just slipped away. This last months have been the absolute best ones and I'll try to post them slowly on here but at least I'll always have photos to keep as remembrance.

This space is just lovely, the lighting and ambience is excellent. The food was pretty fantastic as well, though I heard their baked eggs are the best, which I'm keeping to try for my next visit. The environment is so conducive that I  spent a couple hours there studying and sipping on coffee!

As 2013 comes to an end, I want to wish all of you a Joyous Christmas and a better 2014.

Love, Pei.

W39 Bistro & Bakery

Went to w39 a couple of weeks ago. I'm only posting this now because I've been buried under school work but now that my exams are over, it's finally time to relax a little and catch up with blogging. 

The space is lovely and there's amazing light there, which is pretty rare in Singapore cafes. I wanted to try their salmon but their lunch menu was over by the time we arrived. I'm definitely planning on a return trip just for the salmon, because salmon, do I need to say more? The space is very colourful as you can see and I just love all the tiny props they have there, especially the plates above.

Anyway, here's wishing all of you a great December and an early Merry Christmas!

Love, Pei.
