Designated For Two

11/30/2013

As usual, me and my best friend, Roselyn, were having a date just the two of us but for this time it's on Saturday instead of Friday. We decided to go to Bistronomy 'cause of the cute interior they had. We were kinda lost when we're trying to find the restaurant but we managed to find it and arrived safe and sound, thanks to Waze application.

Once we got there, I'm in love already with the entrance. It looks beautiful with all the plants surrounding the walls on the left and top side of the entrance. Not to forget the classic big wood door. Makes it more elegant.



Once we got inside, I'm overwhelmed by the design of the interior. Very vintage and rustic, sweetly classic. Who can resist such setting anyway? Just hoping they serve a good food as well to balanced their amazing interior. With an addition of a christmas tree, it's just make it much more beautiful. Since I really love christmas decor, with the addition of a christmas tree to such beautiful place, I was really overwhelmed.



We were kinda confused of what are we going to order then the server suggested to order the afternoon tea set because it's included sweet bites and savoury bites and including tea as well. So we ordered that.

Once the afternoon tea set arrived, it looked so pretty and cute. On the bottom is the savoury bites while on the top is the sweet bites. For the savoury bites, there are chicken fingers, sandwiches, and some kind of croquet. While for the sweet bites, there are cheese cake, small muffins and fruit tarts.

We tried the savoury bites first. The chicken fingers were bland and the sandwiches suck. The croquet was pretty nice though thankfully. As for the sweet bites, I like the cheese cake, blueberry muffin, and the kiwi tarts. Quite disappointing for the food 'cause it's not as good as the interior. 



As always, another well-spent day with my best friend, Roselyn. Finally, we have a proper photo together! We usually do selfies only but now we do have proper photos of us together. Had a good laugh together with this girl. As what my dad said about us, 'sehidup semati' or 'destined to be together all the time, cannot live without each other'. We chose a set of meal which designated for two (bestfriend). Yay!


Long Time No See

11/28/2013

I had a lunch date with Claresta today, it's quite hard to arrange a meet-up with her because of our schedule and we lived quite far from each other. Finally, we managed to arranged a lunch date since it's been quite a while since the last time we met. We usually keep in touch with each other through chats and phone calls.

We decided to have lunch at Loobie since both of us haven't try it and we have heard from some people that it's good 'cause it's affiliate with Holycow! Steakhouse. When we got there, the place was quite small and it's pretty crowded due to lunch time. I ordered the whole lobster platter which includes rice and calamari. The lobster was good, I like the seasoning and the calamari as well. To be honest, I'm not enough with whole lobster, gotta order bigger lobster next time. Also perhaps without rice, so just the lobster.



After having a big lunch, we decided to have desserts for the closing. We went to Pacific Place to try Capocaccia's tiramisu because my friend told me that their tiramisu is really good despite of the price that quite expensive for a tiramisu. Once we got there, we saw the dessert list and we ordered the tiramisu and also Caramel Pannacota.

We tried the tiramisu first. It's really good and very moist. Well, not until like it's very very very good as what my friends had said though. It's nice but yeah just that's it. Gotta admit that it's really moist though and well-made. As for the pannacota, it was really good. Very mushy, well it's not mushy but I just feel like using that word. Loving the caramel as well, different with the caramel I used to have, the one from the bottle. Overall it's really good. It's just I won't go there pretty often due to the price.



Had a great day with my friend, Claresta. We get to tell so many stories and laugh together. Looking forward for another meet-up with this girl.


Neighbour

11/09/2013

Finally arranged a lunch date with my childhood friends whom also my neighbour. Me and my sister are close to those two girls. Both of them are also siblings. Similar age to us and we lived quite near back then before they moved to another city. We kinda lost contact before but then we accidentally met with the older sister at Central Park, one of the mall in Jakarta then we exchanged numbers, thus we get to contact each other again afterwards.

We decided to have lunch date at Plaza Senayan. We haven't decided where are we going to eat though. Could be TWG or Monolog or maybe something else.

I've been into make-up a lot nowadays. I've been learning how to use make-up and I enjoy it. Not a heavy make-up user, just a daily look make-up is enough for me. Not the girl who loves to play with eyeshadow a lot like those we found on Youtube. I'm using eyeshadow today but not really showed up in the photo though.



Once we got there, we arrived at the same time. So we met right away and first we tried to look at TWG but then it's quite full, so we decided to have lunch at Monolog. I was confused of what to order because I'm not that hungry too. I went for their nachos and caramel orange latte.

 I don't really like their caramel orange latte though. Tasted a bit off for me and the orange peel kinda disturbing because of the bitterness. Can't really sense their caramel too. I'd still prefer their cappuccino. I tried it before and it was good.

As for their Macho Nachos, that's what it's called. It's really good. At first, I thought it's quite expensive for a nachos but when the nachos came, okay, the portion was quite big with lots of topping on top of it. I love their seasoning, avocado, jalapenos, and everything. Everything went well together and matched perfectly. Enjoyed their nachos very much. I would come back for their nachos again soon.




Once we're done with our lunch at Monolog, Anita, the older sister, craving for sweet treats and tea. So we came back to TWG and we're on the waiting list since it's really crowded. We were waiting for around an hour I guess. It's just that long and I was quite pissed already because as far as I know I came first before the auntie who came after me but that auntie got the seat first. Okay. At first we wanted to cancel it but we already waited for almost an hour then we just cancel it and not going to eat it? No. Hate it. Then my time would be wasted for standing for an hour doing nothing without even get to have their tea at least?

Then we got our seat but since the two siblings had another plan at night, we were kinda in a hurry. I only ordered tea and the caramel macaroon.


Nevertheless, it's been a good day with my old friends and we cannot wait to meet up again soon. Since both of them are working already, so it's kinda hard to meet up with them. 

Old Beauty

5/01/2013

It's almost the end of my short getaway. I gotta make the most of it, right? Me and my sister just realized that we haven't eat Four Fingers at all since we arrived here! Every time we want to eat there, they have a very long queue which I found it weird because the last time I went here, there's no such thing as long queue at Four Fingers, probably because they have became more famous now. So, we decided to have our brunch at Four Fingers. I know it's pretty unhealthy to eat this kind of food around 11am to 12pm-ish. Oh well, since during those hours there won't be any long queue. At last, we have a bite of these oh-so-amazing chickens.



Our first plan for today is to have a little adventure to the Holland Village. We took MRT to get there and I already got one cafe and one restaurant that I wanted to try in Holland Village but in the end I only had the chance to try the cafe. I thought Holland Village would be like Holland-ish for real but turned out it's not. It's just the name. A bit disappointed but the ambiance there was nice though, it's quite and homey even though it's a bit crowded because there's a lot of restaurants and cafes.

So I'm heading to MU Parlour. It's a cafe. It's quite hard to find it that I had to use my cell phone's GPS. Turned out it's located in the second floor. So we had to go upstairs and there we could find a cafe. The cafe's setting was a bit European classic style with a simplistic touch. The walls are white and the chairs are white with the typical classic style with a red cushion. It's very homey and a great lighting from the huge window facing down the street along with a jazz bossanova songs.



They offer varies of cakes but I got one in my mind which is Hazelnut Lemon Praline. It looked good and sounded good. They offer teas as well but I'm stick to the ice water LOL. So the Hazelnut Lemon Praline was not too big yet not too small and it had this little macaroons on the top of it and some berries. When I tried it out, it's very gooey and it's sweet. I liked that sweet but I know if I ate that too much, I will feel not good because it will be too sweet in the end that's why I balanced it out with ice water to even it out. It's even sweeter with a lovely yellow flowers on the table. Ha. 



Since we need to make the most of our time today, right after I finished with my little beauty praline cake, me and my sister went to another place right away. This time we took MRT and bus. We're heading to Carpenter & Cook. I heard that their theme was a vintage oldies kind of cafe and their foods are quite nice. Excited to see that. It's quite far and along the way to the eatery place, I discovered some huge houses that I thought it's not exist in Singapore. I've seen houses with a fancy car such as Porsche and stuff but this time it's a big house. Not a European classic style house but just a simple house but it's big. Amazed at that. LOL.

So once we reached there, it's practically out of nowhere. I had to walk several minutes to reach the place and again I used my GPS to get to the place. First time being around this area and I wouldn't want to go here if there's no Carpenter & Cook because there's nothing in there and it's practically out of nowhere. 



Since I'm not that hungry, I bought bacon quiche in the end along with ice chocolate. The plate was really pretty and I can get the feeling of the vintage from the plate itself. The meal was very homemade-like and it tasted quite nice while the ice chocolate just like a basic ice chocolate but still it's good.



After done with Carpenter & Cook, it's time for me to go back to Orchard to finish my shopping time. We rode bus to go back to Orchard then we went around Orchard from mall to mall then we decided to buy Smoothie King. The Smoothie King in Singapore wasn't that great. It's good but the one at South Korea tasted better than this one and somehow I prefer Boost. As night approaching, my tummy was growling again looking for food. Thus, we went to Yoshinoya. Yoshinoya in Singapore is much different than in Indonesia and tasted way better. My sister bought the salmon bowl while I bought the ebi and beef combo. Their salmon is really good too! I wish Yoshinoya in Indonesia is like this. Also for my late night snack before sleep was mushroom and cheese prata. I love their prata because they have it along with a curry sauce and the curry sauce is really good.
