Margarita's

Hello (:

The week has been going swimmingly well so far and I am just willing both my body and mind to not succumb to the teachers' curse of only falling ill during the hols cos that is the only time when we don't have to feel guilty for missing lessons! =D

We went to Margarita's over the weekend and I think we enjoyed both the food and ambience a lot (: There's something about Mexican food &/or restaurants that gives a very homely and communal feeling. Anyhow, here are some of the things that we ordered that evening:

I think the dishes are generally interesting and the dessert was by far the most exotic that I've tasted. It's supposed to be chocolate mousse but it is served with salt AND olive oil! Haha the combination is unfamiliar to me but I think it didn't taste as bizarre as I thought it would have. Heh. It's very chocolatey and rich though so I would highly recommend that you share this with others! (:

Alright that's all for now! I hope that the rest of the week will be as wonderful as the first few days! (:

Rise and Grind

Hello (:

I really can't believe that the first week of June break went by so quickly! I think this is partly due to the fact that I had to attend a 3day conference so that took up most of my week. However, I think being able to try new food places during the rest of the days helped in getting me into the holiday mood because I seldom have the luxury of time to travel to wherever it is that we wanna eat at to visit new food places and try new dishes!

Thankfully, there are enough eateries around my area to try out so we don't have to travel far distances all the time. My sister and I visited a new cafe at Bukit Timah Plaza and we were happy that the food is pretty good! (: We liked all the dishes that we ordered so I think we might go back to try others! (: I realised I didn't take a photo of her iced chocolate but other than that, the rest of the food items that we ordered have been photographed. All these items cost $50 in all so I guess the price is comparable to other cafe food prices. It's not too bad a place if you want cafe-type food or just a place to hide from the heat! (:

Oh I must mention that I really like their waffles! However, it can be quite filling, especially if you aren't a carbo monster like me, so I would highly recommend that you share it if you don't particularly love waffles or if you can't take a lot of flour =P

Have a good Sunday! (:

IKEA

Hello! (:

On the first day of June break, we decided to go to IKEA for lunch because we had to check out some lights for SISC!

As expected, IKEA was extremely packed even though it was already 2plus (nearing 3!) in the afternoon and there were almost no empty seats at the IKEA cafe. Thankfully, after walking around for 10mins, we managed to find a table in the quieter part of the cafe, so I sat down while he went to get our food. I think that's how we get things done these days: divide and conquer. And that might just be the winning strategy (if applied correctly) to survive and thrive for the rest of the year (and possibly beyond?).

So here's a pic of the feast that he got for us (: I gobbled down my meal quickly cos I was famished by the time the food arrived, and then we proceeded to walk down the familiar aisles once we were done eating.

What a great way to start the June break (:

Kilo & Pact

Hello (:

We dropped by Kilo & Pact a while ago for a light meal because we were both stuffed from our heavy lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed the clean tasting and flavourful dishes (: To me, Kilo serves nicely done fusion-ish food and it is always a pleasure trying out new dishes here! What I really like about Kilo is its simplicity and clean-looking/tasting foods (: Check out their menu to see what they offer! (:

It's rainy start to the weekend but we'll have a blast any how! (: Take care and enjoy yourselves! (:

Omakase Burger

Hello (:

The semester's coming to an end but we still have normal lessons (horrors!) and many loose ends to tie up before we can take a short breather during June break! But till we get to June, we can always indulge in some comfort (but sinful) food (: (: 

Onward with the week! (: 

Sunny Choice

Hello (:

Marking season is almost over and normal life will resume but before that happens, let me share THE BEST Thunder Tea Rice that I've had in my life to date - Sunny Choice's Thunder Tea Rice! (:

We first tried it a month ago and we liked it so much that we went back for more a few days ago! It's really yummy and doesn't taste like the usual thunder tea rice that is served at food courts.

Understandably, it's an acquired taste so if you don't like it, you might never like this =P

There are many other dishes at Sunny Choice though so you can check out the menu before going down (:

Have a great week ahead! (:

Fries Attack

Hello (:

Marking makes markers mysteriously hungry. So we have been getting fries.. and loads of it! =P

Just wanted to share that Udders Pancakes serves Salted Egg Yolk Fries which are yummy so you should give it a shot if you are feeling adventurous! (:

Shall press on to the finish line!
