Aza Aza Fighting!

Published by

It has been an overwhelming week for me, busy as a bee. I tell myself everyday that this will all be worth it and one day, I will be able to see the returns. The Tiramisu Hero is almost 3 months old now. Despite being propelled straight into “auntie-hood” – stuck in the kitchen all day and only shopping in baking supplies stores, it gives me a great sense of achievement watching the business grow bit by bit everyday. We’ve been having return customers and good feedback too! They always make our day. If you are one of those people who has supported The Tiramisu Hero in one way or another, I want to say a big THANK YOU to you from the bottom of my heart. 🙂 I used to be a worry wart who would only think about the bad side of everything. “What if it fails?” “What if we keep losing money? How long should we hold on for?” “Where will it takes us?” “Will we be able to earn enough to …

Club Street Social

Thanks to reader Pearl, A and I had some really delicious Nutella Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream at Club Street Social! We swung by Club Street Social after running some errands this afternoon and here are some pictures of this New York style cafe! I had a beer too! It is such a luxury to have an ice cold beer on a hot afternoon! First time trying the Vedette, it’s good! And there is something about the packaging that makes it very appealing to me. AND the superbly delicious Nutella Bread Pudding with Ice cream! I wish we had more tummy space because the description of the food on the menu sounds so good. We have to get back to this place for more food in future. According to reader Pearl, the breakfast served here are quite good! I KNOW! The dessert looks damn good right! :D” Here are some details of Club Street Social if you would like to try them out too. Please go and try their breakfast and let me know …

Crêperie des Arts

Published by

Heard of Strictly Pancakes? But have you ever noticed the unassuming little cafe right next to it? A and I heard friends raving about the crepes at Crêperie des Arts, so we decided to give it a try. IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST BITE. I know how crepes are usually sweet, served with ice cream, honey or other sweets. We were pretty surprised when we checked out the large variety of savoury crepes that’s available there! Our first visit was two weeks ago on a Sunday and after one meal, we decided that we want to have the exact same thing for lunch the following day. But because they are closed on Monday, we headed back for dinner again on Tuesday! The crepes are THAT good to make us wanna head back so many times! Here are some pictures to give you a virtual tour around the cafe. We spoke to the owner, Sun sun (who is REALLY friendly and hospitable) and were told that they only serve dinner now. But I’m sure we might …

Maison Ikkoku

Published by

It is another fine day for some cafe-exploring! A and I had such a busy week and it is such a luxury to be able to take the afternoon off. Thanks to reader dropletloves, I got to know about this really adorable cafe called Maison Ikkoku. The walk to the cafe was a really scenic one too – I love this part of Singapore! Maison Ikkoku is more than just an ordinary cafe. It resides in this beautiful white shophouse – level 1 is the cafe, level 2 is the boutique and level 3 the bar. Look at the building, isn’t it gorgeous! The cafe was really cozy! I like how old cupboard doors were given a second life and made into tables. Look at our table, there is a keyhole on it. This is doing vintage with a modern twist! The naked bulbs and copper pipes gave the place a slight industrial feel too. Pretty cool if you ask me! This place has a huge variety of coffee and from how they display their …

Life Gets Better Tomorrow

Published by

Tonight, I felt inclined to share my thoughts and feelings about my personal life. Some people might call me brave. Some people might call me stupid; because hereforth, I will be labelled as different. When my friends mention me to their friends, I would probably be described as “gay”. Some might think that I am just juvenile and confused, not knowing what I want at the age of 27. There would also be some people, like many of you, who would think that being different is not a big deal. Because we are all free to love who we are, and gender does not matter. If you are one of few, thank you. Someone once told me that straight people are just lucky because they belong to the majority. Putting aside who is in the majority and who is not, have you ever thought about why most of us think that being straight is normal while being gay is not? Who decides what is normal and what is not? The society? The society and our …

Kombi Rocks

Published by

I am thrilled about this place the moment I heard about it. And I have to thank Cheryl for such a great recommendation! For those of you who doesn’t know yet, Kombi is actually the name of this type of vehicle shown in the banner above. One of the prettiest designs from Volkswagen, if you ask me! Kombi Rocks is not just any other cute cafe! Other than the “Diner” branch, they also have the “Rides” branch where they have cute vintage vehicles for hire. Whether you’re planning for a photoshoot, wedding or just for a joyride, you can get them! Imagine a wedding with such a cute ride, too cute. That’s us on our way to Kombi Rocks! It’s situated on Yio Chu Kang Road, nearer to the Serangoon side. That’s really close to A’s place and we are thrilled to have discovered another cute cafe to hang out at near home. 🙂 [Yes we bought those old school snacks to eat. WE LOVE!] It is hard to miss this place. There would always …

Five & Dime

Published by

Hello girls! I’m back to show my little trip to another cafe. This time round, it’s to Five & Dime at River Valley. It was a little date for A and I after a busy week and I really love it! I’m wearing my new top from Adan y Eva! I love the top, other than the lovely nude colors that works for me all the time, the quality is super good too! (No need to iron! Hehe!) There is plenty of parking area around the cafe, but that’s probably we visited the cafe during the off-peak hours too. The cafe looks really cute from the outside! I like the colors of the building and how it looks! We got a seat near the main entrance. The design of the place mats on the table is really cute too. Tastefully done! To be honest, I was expecting to see a huge place because the cafe looks quite big on their Facebook Page. There are about less than 15 tables in the cafe but thankfully, they …

New Smiles

Published by

I am excited about this entry because I get to introduce a place I went to get the perfect smile! I have always been not very confident with my teeth, especially the upper row because I have a gap between my two front teeth. The ends of the two front teeth are jagged, and my teeth are really small. I’m too used to chewing food on the right side of my mouth, so the right incisor and canine teeth are worn too. My horrible teeth-grinding habit (bruxism) when I sleep is not helpful towards the worn teeth too. As a result, the loss in enamel has caused my teeth to be sensitive as well. Here are a few photos of my teeth to give you a better picture. Sorry for the weird faces in the photos. Heh! So during my short stay in Bangkok, A and I watched some videos from the show “Style By Jury”. Those people did WONDERS with veneers, crowns and whitening work and the results were absolutely amazing! I really love …

Little Part 1

Published by

A was excited and smiling sheepishly this afternoon when she told me there is a place she wants to bring me. When I asked her where it was, she blurted it out, then after giving it a second thought, told me she won’t tell me and that I should check it out for myself. And so the car took us to the familiar Upper Thomson area. It passed by the usual stretch where all the cafes we visit are located and went by Thomson Plaza. Before I know it, we pulled over outside a quaint little cafe named Little Part 1 Cafe. What an odd name for a cafe. The name of the cafe was spelt out clearly like how they did it in old school movie theaters. “Little Part 1” makes me wonder if there is a Part 2 or Part 3 somewhere else in Singapore. I guess it’s a good name if the owners are looking at opening up more branches in future! Heh. The cafe is not very big but it has …
