FOOD

5th October: Choupinette

Gave my parents a brunch treat at Choupinette along Bukit Timah Road. Had the salmon with poached eggs which turned out to be surprisingly filling despite its tiny size. Took a little while to get seated though. When we got there there was a bit of a line, so we joined it... only to realise like 25 minutes later that we were supposed to write our names in a book inside so that they'll call our names to be seated. So only then did we jot our names down and ended up at the bottom of the list (even though the waiters knew we were there for ages. As did the people behind us, who ended up getting seated before us) so our waiting time totalled about 40 mins.

Yes it was our fault that we didn't write our names down, but 1) who would know to do so unless they've been there before, 2) as a waiter, wouldn't you recognize if a customer has been waiting for a table for eons while people waiting for 10 mins are getting seated before him/her?

Anyway, I was a little annoyed but I didn't want to make a fuss, especially since I don't go out for brunch with the 'rents often. At the end of the day, food was good.

6th October: Café Hopping with the 'Mixers

Stop #1: Strictly Pancakes. Look at the hearty stack of red velvet pancakes! This was good. Then again I'm no foodie so I'm not exactly picky about what I eat. Everything is good to me. The coffee too.

Stop #2 (not pictured): Llao Llao. Froyo. Froyo with a long-ass queue.

Step #3 (not pictured): Kith's Café. Tea and truffle fries. Nom.

Stop #4: Tiong Bahru Bakery @ Raffles City. At this point I'm pretty stuffed but hey, it's a food fest. Topped the day off with more coffee and a somewhat light pastry.

So there was actually one more stop in the morning (stop #0): Adam Road Food Center. Indian food and lime juice with an old friend.

11th October: St. Regis

I asked my parents if they wanted to go to Kith's Café for brunch. So naturally, we ended up at the St. Regis. Yup, it was probably the most atas brunch I've ever had. We went for dim sum buffet and stuffed our gut, pretty much. There's no denying that the food was spectacular.

12th October: Pre-SUAD

Nommed at Everything with Fries before heading to SUAD. We were at the Holland Village branch, which turned out to be a little pricier than the one at 313. Although I have to admit that the ambience is a little nicer. Oo yes, the fries are good. So was the har cheong tai (sp?) burger (not pictured) and that orgasmic mud pie.

13th October: Hillview

Headed to the new mall at Hillview (I don't really know what it's called) to this amazing Italian restaurant! Beat the Monday blues with awesome food. Seriously. Everything was awesome and so authentic. Pictured above: tiramisu in a jar.

20th October: Menya Musashi

Ramen for dinner with the family. I had this black-soupped ramen which is actually garlic based. Garlic. Lucky I went home after this.

Food was alright. Not the best I've had to be honest, but not to shabby.
