Kith Cafe

Hello everybody, I am sure many of your have chanced upon OCBC 365 credit card, be it print ad, road show, radio commercial, bus stop poster etc. 

Yessss this is the most awesome credit card in the market right now. Tell me what do you want to earn or benefit from having a credit card? Rebates, discounts and more cashback right? Let me tell you more about OCBC 365 Credit Card. It gives you 6% cash back on your weekend dining. Ever since I have started working, I understand how precious weekends are, probably the only free time you can meet up with your group of friends, go dating with your other half or spend quality time with your family. What Singaporeans love to do or the most common activity is to eat, dine, catch up over meals. Since you guys are already going to dine out why not treat yourself to this extra rewards and pay with OCBC 365? It needs a minimum spending of $600 per month(includes all your bills and spending) to entitle the max rebate we can earn. 

Up to 18.3% cash back on your fuel! Ka-Ching. As government increases the ERP fees, OCBC 365 gives you Cashback, makes driving more affordable and less heart pain for u, that's pretty thoughtful. 

3% Cashback with on your online spend. I am a hard core online shopper. Nowadays I rarely go out to retail stores now because it is so tiring to go to town and mentioning weekends are so precious, I rather hang out with my friends and loved ones. So tadah, with more and more online boutiques, Asos,  Zalora, love bonito, Tao bao, groupon(buy all my deals), I definitely see a reason in getting OCBC 365 card. 

Not only that, you get all the OCBC card privileges, I see a lot of good dining deals, they even have cafe dining, so suitable for cafe hoppers like me 😄

We should make OCBC 365 our primary card in our wallet!

Disclaimer: I may be slightly bias but I really do buy what 365 sells. 

Selfie with my colleagues, just last month we put up a mini performance for our client, all dressing up like hiphip yo hop hop! 

With bosses, all looking cool.

Team lunch at kith cafe for boss's bday celebration and great show put up! Look at Charles's (second from left) expression! So cool and mesmerizing but sadly he pop-ed his knee while rehearsing and couldn't join us for the actual performance. 100points for effort though!

Cabonara with mushrooms, requested special order to replace the bacons. Guilty for ordering such a high calories main for lunch. I find it a little dry, as I would prefer to have it creamier. This reminds me of the Cabonara from Pepperoni, I simply loves it.

Ganberoni- Linguine with king prawns with cherry tomatoes! Generous and juicy big prawns. 

Cajun scrambled egg with mixed fruit salad and vallnia yogurt! A Healthier choice. 

Lunch Special: Grilled salmon with cream cheese, mixed salad and penne. All serves on a plate which is pretty filling.

Truffle fries, this was really disappointing. We could hardly taste any truffle.

I don't really appreciate Kith Cafe food, even though I visited them a couple of times I am not impressed with whatever I have tried so far. I am missing a good cafe visit with savoury food as I scroll through my post. Cafes like Five & Dime, The Missing Pan and Novemember 8 are the cafes I don't mind going back.

Going to start sorting out my Taiwan pictures and pen down my 6D5N Taipei adventure, which involves lots of food hunting :) 

Till the next food update.

Kin Kin Chili Pan Mee- I hopped on the Craze

Two Fridays ago, I managed to convince my boss to have lunch at Kin Kin Pan Mee. I tried it once before and I fell in love with the bowl of dry pan mee. I have been craving for itlately and I literally exclaimed with joy when my boss said let's go try kin kin pan mee! Haha we made Kenny to drive us there since it wasn't really near our work place. I kept telling them it is really near if you drive, everywhere is near if you drive though! 

Whenever I order ban mian I will go for the soup one because I find it very dry and flourish because the noodles will stick together. I was often left disappointed with the dry ban mian. Even for the famous ban mian at city mall didn't win my heart. Until…

The perfect poached egg with funny egg yolk. Breaking the egg yolk and toss it well with the black minced meat and meat balls. I love their ican bilis together with their signature chili. I can't take spicy food very well but I really enjoyed it eating the noodle with lots of chili. Is really worth the spice, sweat and tears. We also ordered a bowl of fish ball soup to share, super big and bouncy fish ball but I am not very appreciative of fish ball, I prefer Fuzhou fish ball or meat balls.

Also my team's new intern is an excellent baker. She even attended baking course at Le Cordon Bleu, SAY WHUT!?!? She baked a perfect batch of macaroons which has such smoothie-licious shell. 

We were attempting to style our macaroons for photo shoot time lol!

Guava lemon flavour was it, and yes mind blowing macaroons and not overly sweet, tasted so fresh so good I wished there was more to spare and calories are non existence. 

Sometimes I really envy people who can bake or cook and I wish I can also whip up a meal or bake a perfect cake. But I don't have that patience and interest to do so. I am better at tasting it, best finishing all for you. 

Maybe I will task her to make me a better baker. Friends who knows me will know that I am terrible in the kitchen and they often reject my kind help in the kitchen. 越帮越忙...

Sweet post

Over the past few months, ever since I've decided to revive my blog, I diligently snap pictures of the food, desserts and things I do so I can do up a blog post. Okay kidding, I am a Singaporean and I am an Instagram addict so I have been snapping all my pictures to put up posts like these. I put in more effort and start bringing out the Olympus Pen out so I can shot more photos for blog entries. I am going to list down a couple of ice-cream/ dessert places I have visited. Some of these places are familiar to you.

Creamier

I am sure Creamier needs no introduction. It is always always crowded and has becomethe new fav ice-cream spot for the locals. They are famous for their ice-cream with waffles, a double scoop one.

Selfie using my pretty old canon G12 with the flipped screen. I am so tempted to trade in my canon to a DSLR since I am using my sis's Olympus pen mini  as a compact camera now.

We both ordered double scoop of ice-cream with waffles so that it will look pretty for photo. 

Front up was pistachio and Sea salt Guala Malaca. I love the pistachio which has the right milkiness and richness. Some places has overly milky taste which only makes it super gelat.

I ordered banana roasted pecan and richest dark chocolat ferrero! Love love dark chocolate that had this premium taste. I don't like milk chocolate especially white chocolate. I am born greedy because when I was young, there was once I pop lots of milk chocolate down and in the middle of the night and woke up to vomit after. Ever since that incident, I stop eating milk chocolate unless they comes with nuts, chips or something to chew with. 

Wipe out!

Disclaimer: I did not punch A., neither did I make him cry, he was just having really bad sinus.  Haha he was like a reindeer that night. 

Selfie to end our night of dessert supper! 

Windowsill Pies

I love the dessert pies from windowsill pies. The last time we came, we had S'mores the best seller, super sweet but I like it with camarelized almond brittle.

I ordered Banana Almond Brittle and Grasshopper this time round. Sweet banana mousse with salty caramel and crunchy nuts! Love to bite on caramelized nuts! Grasshopper sounds disgusting but not our pies from windowsillpies. Similar to aftereight concept: fourless chocolate cake base topped with a light fresh mint cream.

The Book Cafe

Sometime back we visited Book cafe on a cozy Sunday to kill some time before Mother's Day dinner.This is a place where you can hibernate, to read a book or to catch up on your korean craze. Eversince my visit to Afteryou, I am crazily in love with Shibuya toast and so I went ahead to try all Shibuya toasts when I chanced upon. Not very much impressed by Book Cafe's version, I guess there wasn't enough butter or maybe they are just not well spread across.

Udders

Undeniably one of the favourite dessert spot in the West. They serve really nice waffles with unique ice-cream flavours. Try their durian Mao Shan Wang for some authentic local flavours. My top 3 favourite from udders: Rum & Rasin, strawberry fields, snickers mars honeycomb vanilla. 

They have opened many branches all around Singapore. Visit their website for more details.

Alfero Artisan Gelato

Just a few doors away from Udders along Lor Kilat road has another Italian Alfero Artisan Gelato. Only tried their belgium waffle with a scoop of chocolate ice-cream, very classic choice but it hasn't exactly blown be away. Not so much fan of their waffles, as you can see it wasn't very nicely done or plate.  But perhaps will give it a try for their ice-cream someday. 

Ice Cream & Cookie Co.

Cookie Ice-cream:

I love the after eight flavour and our slightly soggy cookie paired with the ice-cream.

Vanilla bean ice-cream with chocolate chip cookie.

They have expanded their business and make their prodcuts available at various cafes and restaurants around us. VIsit their website to find out on where to buy these sinfully made desserts.
