Let me see..... I was thinking of a starting line to associate or at least have something to tag on the word"cats" and guess what? My brain is filled with  "It's the Tom and Jerry kids.. blah..." the song and the cartoon. Hahaha.  Classic huh?

Well, I was goggling on where to go on the weekends where I chanced upon the Cat Cafe. It seems to good to be true, playing with cats and enjoying your tea + desserts at the same time. I literally forced Boo to book an appointment( Yes, reservation is recommended as it is normally quite packed according to the staffs)  and settled a date which was booked 2 weeks in advance. I guess weekends are just too popular and especially we are requesting for morning session only. 

The cafe is located at the second storey and you will be greeted by the "招财猫“ . Hahaha.. In order to ensure customers to keep the environment clean for the habitat cats here, we are required to leave our footwear outside and wash our hands with soap foam provided in the cafe. NICE!

The home of the cats is certainly designed a playground for them!All the customers were seat  in two rows with comfort chairs or on the floor to watch and take photos of the cute little kitties. Without further a do, I shall present you.. the sleepy sleeping kitties ~Ohh did I not mentioned that they were once a stray? All the cats were adopted or rescued by the owners. 

 Aren't they cute? Emma is the white dozing kitty while the other is Skittles.. they have been taking their power nap all the time I was there. Wish I could take a grim of Emma's blue eyes. Awww... 

As you can see, there is a long table near the big windowsill for you and me to look out to admire the scenery of Boat Quay, but the cats have invaded to sunbath and catch a nap at the same time. Hahaha. How efficient are they?! 

Other than chasing the kitties in attempted to take their photos, the cafe also provides desserts and beverages for us to enjoy. Boo and I ordered their cappuccino and black coffee respectively and an Earl ice cream cookie. Ohhh boy, the ice cream cookie tasted so good! Light Earl Grey taste in between the cookie. Yummy!

And my boo actually took a selfie with Dewey which I found it very unique indeed. Hahah.. My Boo is always so innovative! 

Well, I believe I'm not too bad either. Ok, I'm very thick skinned...The overall experience is good, where you can tell that the cats are well taken care of and will never be abused by the customers as the staffs are quite protective towards them. I believe they are in good hands ~ =)) Do visit the kitties as you know part of the expenses you made does make a difference for them to survive. If you can't get enough of them, why not buy a small souvenir for yourself to look at them at home?

I am all in the mood to look for new place to hangout with Boo. So, after some research online for some newly open cafes and based on our feelings, we chose this young cafe which is located in Tanjong Pagar area. =))

Upon entering the cafe, we were welcome by the opened concept at the first storey of the place. Did I not mention that the kitchen is also an open concept too? It is just located beside the cash counter ~ Hahaha.. I don't know what to say, but I am quite amused! There is a second storey which is quite private with a few "nua-ing" sofas. 

Looking at the Menu, the cafe specializes in all day breakfasts and some deserts. What further interested me was, from the desert section, there is a tag which says " Pay as you wish Muffin". There was nothing at that time, so i presumed those muffins are not ready yet.. so disappointing.. 

While waiting for our foods, I decided to do my usual cam whoring when Boo secretly sneak over my back and snatched my limelight! Humps!! 

Have the dishes left you hungry? We ordered the Leek Potato baked eggs and Smoked Salmon and Mushroom Sandwiches. The Baked eggs is quite special with baked beans and tomato sauce beneath, cheesy pieces of potatoes, leek, button mushrooms and two half boiled eggs as the toppings. The combination tasted so good, surprising as I thought it would be disaster! The top layer served as ingredients to eat with the wheat beard and the slight sourish taste from tomato sauce adds favor to the whole dish. 

As for the sandwiches, I would like to say the breads are the highlights! They were warm and crispy, not too dry. A pity is that the mushroom sandwich should have some sauce if not, it will be rather too normal~ ==> Statement from Boo. Boo also ordered a plate of scramble eggs and it was the slight watery type which both Boo and I love. Guess what, it costs only $1 for 1 full plate of scramble eggs! hahaha. 

Last but not least, what is the point of going to a cafe without a cup of coffee? We shared a cup of "Brown" which is coffee with a tint of chocolate. I love the design on the coffee but ~ I think Brown is sweet for my taste bub. I guess that is because I love black coffee. =)) 

I love the front door especially it matches my outfit. ahahaha.. A date in Red ~~

Hello Everyone, it has been a really long while since I last updated my Blog. Well.. well. I am really busy with my wedding preparation and yes, I will be getting married in 2 weeks' time!

In a mist of the hectic wedding preparation, I chanced upon the Facebook page of Jemolian's store which advertised the annual Rilakkuma cafe event held on behalf of Bon Japan in Singapore!!! How am I not getting excited when little did you know that Boo and I decide to name our future girl as Rila and boy boy as Kuma!!! Hahahaha.. 

 To be honest, I cannot imagine why a cutie affair was held in the middle of a light industry area. Anyway, I still hung on the hope that the interior maybe very different from it's surroundings?!

We were greeted by the cute head shots of Rilakkuma bears on the cement flooring , approximately every 5 steps at level 2 before approaching into the event hall. 

Once entered into the event hall, I was captured by the PS2 Rilakkuma game! The graphics were just too cute to resist taking pictures!! So I made Boo to play a few rounds in order to take a couple more pictures! 

As I have overlooked the chance to get the limited set meal ( need to reserve few days before), Boo and I gotten ourselves a dessert set meal plus a fish stick wrapped with seaweed. The presentation did look good but the Lipton milk tea was way too diluted! =((  The set plus the fish stick costed us $14.40, which was considered quite expensive but I guess we shouldn't be complaining as it was not as if we could get them as and when, it was an annual event,mind you! 

After the tea break, it was time for some camera whoring!! Posing here and there with the giant Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma at the event hall. 

Especially Boo Jemolian's Store who certainly wanted to pose with his friend, Little Quacky aka Kiiroitori. 

Although we did not buy any merchant goods in the event, we had a good time as usual by entertaining ourselves, making the best out of what we have... *...* 

After reading Daniel Diary food reviews, Boo and I decided to explore the small, little cozy cafe located along the heritage street near Tiong Bahru area. Upon arriving into the shop, we were greeted by the vase of white chrysanthemum flowers on the long bench located in the middle of the cafe and a little corner where interested cards and cute labels are available for sell.

Looking for the usual menu book somewhere on the table? Well, all the dishes, beverages sold here are listed down on the chalkboard and you will realize that the cozy little cafe has quite a wide varieties of food and drinks. Boo especially loves how the different kinds of coffees are presented on the board, like listing out the contents of each coffee type and what beans were used.

Whilst for me, I would rather laid my hands on the pralines sold in the cafe, but as I was down with sore throat, =(((  it will be next time round, and did I not mentioned that they also sell unique ice cream flavors like Lychee Martini too? (0.0)!!!!

While wait for the food, I made Boo to take a picture of me... posing here and posing there. hehehe..  Finally, the coffees we ordered came to us like 10 minutes later?  I had a long black while Boo gotten himself a piccolo latte.

I was surprised to see that my favorite childhood biscuits came with the coffees. Hmm... it just tasted so good when eaten with my long black as it added a little sweetness to my bitter coffee! hahaha. but I was a bit displeased that the biscuits were a bit "Lao Hong" ! But the truffle  does help to gain some points as it was tasty! Yummy! (0.0)V

Finally, our main dish, Miss Portobella Burger made its appearance! Whoohoo!! It was so excellently made!! Even a meat lover like Boo also praised this vegetarian burger! The portobello mushroom was well marinated and was further enhanced by the combination of the caramelized onions topped with melted cheese sandwiched in wholemeal burger beard... hmmmm.. yummy yet non-sinful!

As I was craving for some sweet stuffs, I went on to order a slice of cake for both of us.. ehhh.. actually I ate most of the cake.  Well, I couldn't really remember what is the cake, but I think it was a walnut cake with a slight touch of cinnamon. The service staff was very thoughtful as she politely asked me whether to heat up the cake  before serving to us. Well done! Orange Thimble!  The cake tasted normal, not too sweet, preferably eat with Long Black coffee.

See how Boo was so happy with his experience with the cafe, by showing off his pearly white set of teeth!!! We will certainly come back for more!

Was trying to track down the exact location for Papa Palheta which I missed badly for its cappuccino  where I got from forums that it had closed down. Was feeling so disappointed until from articles/forums that it had moved to Tyrwhitt Rd and of course, bringing along the technique of roasting and purveying specialty coffee. 

After knowing where it is, I was, and yes, for the first time felt lucky that my company has moved to Bendemeer Rd! The cafe was just two bus stop away from my work building!!! After 1/2 physco-ing and 1/2 luring my colleagues, we are finally here today!!!! 

From its exterior , I can imagine inside stood an old man wearing white "char kueh teow" singlet, puffing away his cigarette while waiting for his customers... but well.. if you were such a dreamer like me, then you are so so wrong !!!!

Looking at the lunch crowd here!Not to mention the mixture of vintage and modern decorations. I especially like the old lamps hanging up at the corner of the cafe which have a strong contrast with the two rows of spotlights across the entire place. Even the menu looks very vintage too! (Ehhh.. the stain on the menu is not a deliberately done pattern!!). Unlike its previous, they tried to include some mains and desserts into the cafe, hope they taste as good as their coffee~ 

The four of us got the different main dishes and a glutton like me, ordered an additional dessert set prepared by the in-house baker!@.@... 

I had the parma sandwich as my main and cream burlee with Espresso for my after food dessert!.. Only TWO WORDS can describe them :Yummy yummy!!! The dishes have certainly live up to my expectations as well as my espresso ! However, a  small, minor imperfection was the chips on my main dish. Too salty for my liking!  The rest of my colleagues are singing praises to their food and the roasting  smell from the coffee got into us so much that we have decided that we will definitely going back again!!! 

I'm loving it~ !  <3<3
