Ending Sunday with Arbite & Dong Po

Agenda for the day is to visit Dong Po Colonial Cafe but knowing they sell pastries and bread only, we decided to have lunch nearby.

Kandahar Street is usually bustling especially on a weekend, but today the place was quieter. We managed to get parking easily and decided to have lunch at A for Arbite, which is located along Aliwal Street.

"Live well, laugh often and love much"

Looking at this quote as I eat just reminded me to really live life to the fullest. =) I am grateful for a Sunday like this. I just felt so blessed. 

We ordered two dishes from "Small plates for sharing". The price is a lil steep but I am quite satisfied with the food! The beef burgers were one of the better ones I had! Juicy and the meat is tender. It costs $15.90~

The waitress said they are famous for their pasta because it is handmade, when I tasted it, indeed it's different. I like it! It's very flavourful too! This tri pepper pasta costs $12.90? (Ok, I cannot remember. -_-) 

Then we were too full to eat pastries hence we had to walk around for awhile before heading to the shop that is supposedly on our agenda! LOL.

I ordered 3 pastries and 2 drinks from Dong Po and it costs us only $7.90! We both felt that the Bostock is underpriced! LOL. It's $3.50 and comes with a drink! 2 pastries and a drink cost $4.20 (change drink to milo, just top up $0.20)

Butterfly cupcake and Almonds finger. Both worth trying! I love the butter cream, so old school. The plain looking almonds finger surprised us! It was yummy, not too sweet and alil crunchy and chewy.

Here comes bostock! Bread toasted with generous serving of almonds. Not too bad but I still prefers the bostock that I bought from bread project.

With these comes the end to my long weekend. I believe tomorrow will be an awesome start to the new week!

Adore - 新衣哪有舊衣好

第一次听到这首歌就特别觉得歌词写得非常感动。以一个我们熟悉的方式来表达妈妈对我们的爱，那就是新衣与旧衣。

我们都觉得新衣是最好，每当妈妈付出一切为的就是给我们新衣穿，我们却总是一次次 总在无意时勾破妈妈的辛劳。当新衣变成旧衣了，也就代表我们在成长，这时候千万不要用冷漠证明长大，别用伤害换取潇洒，别觉得旧的都不好，旧的都该忘掉因为有一天你会发现如今穿不下旧棉袍，但只有妈妈的爱不老， 这时候你会想在她耳边轻轻的说:“ 新衣哪有旧衣好。”

Eight Cafe and Bar, 忙里偷闲!

这几天须要到牛车水一带上个课程，原本很“显”的，周末嘛，上什么课！但这几天我尝试我喜爱的美食，忙里偷闲，好好的感受这一带的氛围，算是补偿补偿自己吧！哈哈。

Bukit Pasoh Road 的早晨，这一幕我马上就想到“新旧交接”来形容。

Today's lunch break was 1hr 20 mins, I decided to check out Eight cafe which is located very near the training venue. On a Sunday, they serve brunch only.

From the outside, only two vintage-looking chairs can be seen. You have to push open the door and step in to see how the cafe looks like.

一开门 - 别有洞天。

They just printed some pictures on coloured papers and pasted them neatly on their walls to make it the wall papers. Creative! I like the layout of the cafe because it reminds me of those cafes in Melaka and Penang. It's very deep in.

Explored the back of the cafe. 

Any students from this school? lol.

Ordered Eggs any style, costs $16.80, comes with coffee too. No GST and service charge!

Dessert was creme brulee - $6.80~

Though I was on course, I enjoyed my time there, especially seizing every opportunity to check the cafes and eateries nearby. Enjoy life to the fullest, even if I am on course! hahaha.

Eight cafe and bar is located @ Bukit Pasoh Road, exit H from Outram Park MRT! Very convenient!

On a side note, can you believe it? It's already August! Time really flies, so please live every moment to the fullest. I am looking forward to September. Holidays holidays holidays but before September holidays arrive, let's just enjoy this coming long public holiday!
