Happy Birthday Singapore!

I am always procrastinating when it comes to blogging. I would only blogged about stuff/events eves or even months after it happened. Have to admit that I haven't been very diligent about blogging but I am trying my best to keep this space updated albeit the busy schedule I have. Recently, I have picked up photoshop so I can have more pretty pictures to post. Since I am in advertising, I feel like I have to put in more effort to make my visuals more appealing. 

New Fat boy diner bar just right below our office, farewell lunch for one of my creative art director. You can get chunky juicy filling burgers at Fat's boy, you can't go wrong with burger and fries here. Other than occasions, my lunch is pretty boring. I am missing those days where I packed food to work.

Side track, Patrick the starfish was a new addition to the family and my creative decided to dress him up hahaha, so adorable right!

So yes, I decided that I shall blogged on how I spent my National day before I start to procrastinate again. I remember last year national day I spent my evening jogging while A. and his brothers were playing soccer. This year, I managed to spend more quality time, which includes my brunch dates, some exercise and family time. Woke up and head out for brunch with sissy and the boys. I am so happy to be able to catch up on my sleep after a crisis thursday night where my colleagues and I had to work over the night to churn out 90 artwork. Most of them went home at only 5am.

We visited the Sunday Markert @ Lim Tua Tow road which is pretty near to where we stay.

          

Tucked along Lim Tua Tow road, it is a well hidden cafe along the row of shop houses. When we walked into the cafe, we saw plants/flowers and bicycle parts used as decorations. Its vintage decor such as the brick walls and chandeliers gave us a cozy ambience. I was particularly intrigued by what they pulled together, kinda mixture of everything, living to their name 'Sunday Market.

    

Skinny wings and truffle fries for $6.90- I enjoyed the strong truffle taste(at least I could taste it better than I could smell) and crispy wings.

Fried Chicken waffles for $11.90- Savoury waffles does look interesting however I find it a little dry without any sauce to go along. A tad boring for the palate.

Sissy ordered an organicjuice imported from New Zealand, refreshing and spells healthy!

    

Next up, I ordered the smoked salmon and cheese on buttered toast-$12.90. I am always after salmon but this dish is not exactly pleasing. It really depends on individual, I prefer my scrambled eggs to by more fluffy. Cream cheese was mixed in chunks, gelat on one bite if you happened to taste the cheese. Salmon wise I could see quite a fair bit in the mixture but I still prefer big slices of smoked salmon served instead of mixing them with the scrambled egg. Now I lost the salmon and its smokey taste.

Eggs benedict $12.90- Classic choice for brunch food, well-poached eggs soaked on their hand made toast.

I was actually craving for some duck and influenced A. to order the pulled duck sandwich-$13.90
We all didn't like this dish, smoked duck was a little dry to begin with. At least A. likes its thick handmade buttered toast. I wasn't a fan of its thick and unfluffy toast though but will definitely keep you full easily.

Sunday market serves pocket friendly dishes. It is a pretty new cafe in the seangoon/kovan estate. For those who couldn't bear the wait (at least an hour on weekends) at Lola's cafe, perhaps you can consider Sunday's market down the road.

Deliberately dressed in red and white coordinates with my new Nike shoes. I am very proud of my new running shoes. I love the colour and I can wear it out as sneaker as well.Got it below my S$100 budget, ka ching, great accomplishment here.

   

After brunch was work-out time! Sissy and her bf have been playing badminton regularly. When we were much younger, our weekends will be over at granny's and play badminton with my cousins. I am so rusty now. A good 1.5 hours of badminton and thrashed by the older couple. Going to brush up my skills after my Sept dance concert.



After working out, we fed ourselves with desserts at Sunday Folks. Our affinity with Sunday Cafes. Opened by the same group of people who created Creamier, Sunday Folks concept is slightly different from the usual ice-cream spots around. Its concept is towards minimalistic with an open kitchen concept to show how their ice-cream and cakes are made. It is a few doors away from Bakers & cook along the shop houses at Chip Bees Garden estate. You probably won't be able to spot Sunday folks from a distance with its small and almost unnoticeable signboard flagging.

Soft served ice-cream with limited choice of flavours, you are void from being fickle at the counter to try all the flavors available. We went ahead with Summer Berries and Earl Grey Lavender, waffles.  The latter is a unique flavour and in A's words, it taste like the Lavender toilet spray, GUYS tsk. Sis and I prefer summer berries to Earl grey lavender, berries hardly goes wrong. As usual, their waffles did not disappoint, light and fluffy. I would love to go back and try their signature Pistachio in cone (black cone).

    

Ordered a glass of Homemade summer Iced tea, refreshing and goes really well with a sweet dessert.

My sis always looking so sweet and I am just a glutton that cannot hide her excitement.

 

Spot me still in red and white coordinates, such patriotism!

Dinner was at A's place. When we arrived, his mum was preparing dinner and unusually volunteered to stay in the kitchen and helped.  Highly possible that I had ample rest and wasn't tired from badminton session earlier. Usually I will be very very tired over the weekends after my dance rehearsals. I LOVE PH!

Cheeky A thought it was a very rare scene and video-ed it down.

Really love holiday like this when I can chill and relax.
XOXO,
