Oriole Cafe & Bar

It was a tough one to find a cafe that operates on a monday, but glad I found one! Reviews were not bad however, it was mediocre in my opinion! The company definitely compliments over the mediocre food! :)

We love you, our angel! :)

A random morning where he painstakingly woke up real early to make breakfast for me! =D

And yes everyone, I'm attached :) Thank you all for the blessings! :)

Me and my lovely bouquet of tulips! =D

My Verdict: 9/10

I loved everything about Sky on 57! We selected a few from the ala-carte menu. Our Hot Appetizers are surprisingly good. It was my first at Foie Gras XLB. The taste was alittle overwhelming at first, and I would prefer the traditional XLB. However, thinking back now, it was really a mouthful of goodness! Stuffed Soft Shell Tempura has a surprisingly richness of flavours in the mouth with each bite! Yums! I have a love for mushroom soup and this was not bad. We ordered Maine Lobster Marco Polo as our starter and it was awesome!!! I totally love the taste, texture and freshness of the lobster cooked in Aglio Olio Style! Totally wish I can have a portion of this infront of me now! *Saliva Drooling*

Our mains were not disappointing too! Anything with foie gras I will definitely give it a try! My risotto is full of the richness from the different mushroom types available! The lobster was also fresh and the mixture of everything together, I was in love! hee!

Lastly, we order Symphony of Desserts for 2 pax. It was a surprise as we do not know what was planned for us. We loved the different 'mini' desserts placed for us! The dark chocolate is so rich and not sweet at all, definitely to my palette! I will never forget the mini Chocolate lava Cake! Yums! 

I want to go back for more, shall we my dear? Hee =D

 

The night ended with sweet indulgence. The boy got me my fave laduree Macaroons and Moet! 

Thank you for coming into my life and loving me :)

Till then! :)

Anthesis - Robertson Quay

Hi there Everyone,

It's been awhile since I last blog. Shall start 2014 by introducing my favourite past-time. Cafe hopping :) Brunch during the weekends is one of my relaxing moments from all the stress at work. Did a little random outfits shoot with my friend a.k.a. photographer! These are just some of the shots! Trying to catch the wavy feel of my maxi skirt and mine, the wind is awesome that morning =D

Outfit: Crop Top from Love Kaisy

Maxi Skirt from TVD

Bag from Zara

Accessories from SF, Tiffany&Co, Mauboussin, Hermes

After done with the 'shoot', we headed our way to seek out this cafe that I happen to come across online! It was listed as one of the 7 cafes that people must try in 2014 =D

Anthesis 

86 Robertson Quay

The boss gave a short introduction to the cafe! Anthesis was barely 5 months old and for being a new player in the market, I will say that they have manage the whole place well! I was introduced to the various desserts and some of them were really tempting! It was a pity our tummies are so full!! Thanks for the warm hospitality! =D

The cafe gives me a warmth feeling as I step in, with metal chairs and wooden tables to give that rustic vibe without losing its elegance. We ordered Truffle Fries, Colossal breakfast with Choice of 3 breads from their bakery and Banana Brioche. Truffle fries has been one of my fave and I'm particular about it. Surprisingly to say, Anthesis's truffle fries is comparable to Symmetry! Yet another score to a new found place for my lovely truffle fries! :) Colossal breakfast was huge! A mixture of ham, bacon, salad, sausage with poached egg, minced beef with a sunny side-up and the 3 breads of choice. Rather huge that we couldn't finish and a need to abstain from beef, I only tried the rest. But overall, we agreed it's worth the price! Banana Brioche  was my main. I always have a 'jelat' feel with desserts-like mains, however this came as a surprise. The generous serving of Fresh Cream, caramelized fruits and toast is so heavenly! Practically the first time ever that I finished the whole plate! Yums! =D

Apparently, my photographer randomly said, Come let's go take a few more shots! I laughed literally but went along with it hee! 

After fooling around against the gorgeous backdrop of Robertson Bridge, we headed to Pasarbella Market for my fave coffee! We were quite the coffee lovers so I intro my photographer to Dutch Colony Coffee Co.!

And again, my photographer said You have 2 new props and a nice backdrop that could totally fit into another nice feel shot! And so, we snapped away with our phones again! haha! =D

My score was the bouquet of Lavenders. It smells heavenly!

Ending on with a selfie shot! =D Spot my new RayBans Wayfarers! Always shun from this design cause I don't think it suits me. Thanks for the gift! =)

Cheers!
