Nice chill-out place: The Brew and Bake Company

Image
We had our dinner at authentic China eatery, named  Fashion tastes House, which is located near Clementi. This eatery place offers authentic Szechuan Cuisine. We had a humble dinner and the damage was SGD21-ish. After our meal, we walked over to the newly-opened cafe, The Brew and Bake Company for some tea and desserts. The setting of the cafe is pretty simple and the only thing that caught our eyes was the huge collection of classic and vintage toys that were displayed at the cafe. Each toy brought back many fond memories of yester-day and I love the nostalgic feeling.     I have not seen this ' Fraggle Rock on Wheels' for a very long time! Apart from the toy display, one of the highlights in the cafe is the primary colored retro chesterfield furniture that was from Thailand. *Happy Vibes* There are no food entrees, only coffee, tea and pies/cakes. We had Lychee Cheesecake and Brownie as our desserts, and...

2014 Double celebrations

Image
This year, 2014, Yuan Xiao Jie (last day of CNY) falls on the same day as Valentine Day . To me, I value the Chinese Traditions more than anything so after a long discussion with Baby, we decided to go to  Ming Kee Live Seafood for our celebration.   Ming Kee Live Seafood is known for their fresh seafood and delicious cze char dishes, and the restaurant is located at Macpherson Road . We went for the Cino-Valentine Day Set Dinner which included a small Yu Sheng for 2.     'Lo Hei' during the CNY period is believed to bring good luck and prosperity for the   whole year, so we will never miss out on the last chance to do it on the last day of CNY.   Apart from the mini Yu Sheng, the set included some signature dishes from Ming Kee Live Seafood . Both of us enjoyed the Fried Fish Skin with Greenies . It tasted even better with the accompanying dip.   Bamboo Clam with Garlic was delicious, and I sav...

Jess baby's random happenings

Image
I recently received a Nuxe Nirvanesque Gift Set from Nuxe , and I was glad that Baby collected it from Beauty by Nature, Ion Orchard on my behalf. OM!! There were so many sample packs for me to try me out and I can't wait to use them and discover the goodness. Thanks Nuxe for the gift pack!! Anyone who has been following my blog knows that I am mad about nail wraps , which some label as nail foils . I have been purchasing them from Malaysia and Shenzhen, and finally I found a place where I can get cheap and nice nails wraps that cost me SGD1 for one set. Scape Flea Market is selling 5 nail foils for SGD5, and there are tons of designs to choose from... Thanks Baby for getting my favorite 5 for me... Recently, I got myself my first pair of Lacoste LIVE canvas casual shoes which I picked up from the Lacoste Outlet Store at Changi City Point .   The original price was SGD119, but I only paid SGD39 for this love...

[short getaway - Subang Jaya] Lunch at Pu Tien, Sunway Pyramid

Image
Upon reaching Subang Jaya, after a long drive from Singapore, we headed down to Sunway Pyramid to have our lunch, and both Baby and I decided on Pu Tien .     Baby and I love the dish ' Sweet and Sour Pork with Lychee' very much, and when dining in Singapore, we normally order a small size to share between us, but this time round, we ordered the medium for our indulgence. The pork is still as good as what we had in Singapore, and since it is a bigger sized portion, I had several helpings. Each delectable meat tasted fabulous. Hing Hwa Bee Hoon is their signature dish, and overall, it is pretty affordable as the portion is big and my stomach can simply be filled alone with this dish.   During my first visit to Pu Tien, Vivo City, I fell in love with the  Spinach with Salted Egg and Century Egg in Supreme Stock, and it has become a MUST-ORDER entree for me in Pu Tien Restaurant, so without failed, I ordered it as part of ...

Gala Night of My Fair Lady

Image
I attended the Gala Night of My Fair Lady , and I was very much looking forward to this ‘perfect musical’ with beautiful music and exquisite costumes. The latest musical, My Fair Lady  transforms the MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands to 1912 London in this Broadway Classic, in which the classic 1964 Audrey Hepburn movie was based. They will be performing in Singapore on February 11 for a limited season. Tickets are now on sale. The show was first opened on Broadway in 1956, and went on to win 6 TONY Awards , and became the longest-running production in Broadway history at that time. Based on George Bernard Shaw’s 1912 play Pygmalion,  My Fair Lady  brought us to Edwardian London and is one of the most beautiful stories ever told about language and clash of cultures. It follows the relationship between Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, and the snobbish and misogynistic Professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist, who wagers that he c...
