Oops! Cafe-hopping again....

Image
My journey of cafe-hopping continues, and this time round, I visited L'etoile Cafe which is located at Owen Road. It is a gem along Farrer Park, as it bears a nice environment with comfortable seats, and it also offers free wi-fi for patrons along with friendly service as well as decent prices for the selection of food and drinks. It is a place for everyone who loves cafe-hopping.   We ordered a pot of Nymph of the Nile tea from GRYPHON Tea Selection , as both of us are tea lovers.   Baby had the  Double Chocolate Chiffon Cake , and it looked amazing yet taste good as well. The cake is soft and moist and the sweetness is just perfect.   I had the Matcha Azuki Chiffon Cake (in short Green Tea Cake), oh well, it was kinda disappointing as the cake texture was pretty dry and the fragrance of the Matcha (green tea) was mild too.     The damage was SGD22-ish with service charge included.     ...

Toy Factory's '881 The Musical' may be based on Singapore director Royston Tan's hit 2007 movie '881' but it is a totally different story from the movie. '881 The Musical' revolves around the Papaya Sisters, Big Papaya Yan Yan (starring Judee Tan) and the Little Papaya Min Min (played by Joanna Dong) who become students of former 'getai' singer-turned seamstress Auntie Ling by Audrey Luo. With the help of Auntie Ling, her mute son Guan Ying (played by Nat Ho) and the Goddess of Getai (starring Lindy Chia), the Papaya Sisters struggle against all odds to achieve their dreams. Unfortunately, things get abit complicated when Duah Gee (starring Dennis Chew) and his two 'Angmoh' Durian Sisters (played by Rayann Condy and Klaune Saunders) enter the scene and threaten to turn the Papaya Sisters' dream into a nightmare. '881 The Musical' is being narrated by Gods of Fortune Fu ( played by Zachary Goh), Lu (starring Sebastian ...

He performed a piano medley of all the pop hits from the past & the present... That was an amazing performance! Another segment which I loved was Pam Oei's vampire bat segment who wished to crossover to Christmas. Her brilliant and witty comic delivery drew a lot of laughter. I enjoyed this skit to the MAX! The concert was brought to a tremendous closing with a s...
