The Asian Kitchen x Dainty Lace shorts

Was craving for asian food and I was choosing between Dian Xiao Er and Asian Kitchen. And because the latter requires lesser walking distance, my choice was clear :p

Dinner at 8pm is crazy because I was dying of hunger. A hungry man is an angry man, indeed. For the first time, we ordered more than usual. Went to the outlet at citylink.



Their famous roast chicken. yummehhhh.



I LOVEEEE this! Soft shell crab with salted egg yolk. This is a MUST try, esp soft shell crab lovers;)



And their crispy toufu! V appetizing and the skin crispy-ness is just right! Not too fried and oily.



Last but not least is... healthy vegetables. I am trying to eat more vege for every meal now but I was told that we should not eat vege outside because they might not be rinsing the vege thorough enough to remove the pesticide completely?
oh well.



#whatiwore This pair of dainty lace shorts is so comfy i've been re-wearing it so many times!



Couldn't stop gushing over the intricate lace details when I received it!





Didn't hesitate to bring this in after looking at how the zara models are looking so good with lace shorts!

ok! back to working on lesson plans.

Food review: Wawawa Bistro

THANK GOD ITS THURS! :D *SHOUTS* So thankful for this long weekend to catch up on some sleep and also to mark 3 classes of essay test which my students just had this week.

Met up with my primary school friend for dinner, haven't see this girl for 2.5 months cos she was so busy with her FYP but I am glad it's over for her now because this would mean more dessert dates coming ;)

We decided on Wawawa Bistro at Bedok Reservoir Park. It was a small dining place and it was convenient because the carpark is very near to the place.



BBQ Pork ribs pizza. We thought this was quite good!



Both of us were Aglio Olio lovers but luckily we did not order 2 plates of this because it was only meh~ No strong taste of chilli and garlic.




Chocolate lava cake. We did not hesitate to order this because we are also big fan of lava cakes heh. The lava cake was awesome but the ice cream tasted like those cheap brands which we could get from ntuc. A pity though.

A good place to chill and hangout with friends because the place is rather serene but... there's a lot of flies though. The prices are quite reasonable with a variety of food ranging from burgers, asian food, pasta and pizza.

Guess I am only going back for their pizza?



Thanks for the birthday treat babe <3

Ma Maison Bugis

Hi everybody~ One of the rare weekday afternoons which I can really sit down and have my private time. Other than that, I would probably be marking and doing up my lesson plans in the staffroom...

It was also one of the rare weekday nights that I travelled down to Bugis for dinner. Ever since practicum started, I hardly have the energy to head out at night. I'll just crash at home.

It was my third time at Ma Maison. I did not really enjoy myself the previous 2 times I was there because their service was really bad. And they have not prove me wrong still. Although it was a weekday with not much of a crowd, I had to wait 30 mins for my food to be served?? What was more ridiculous was that the lady who took my order, did not know what I had ordered! She asked me to wait and she would check for me, but no, she did not get back to me. We asked another lady for help and apparently, she did not get back to us too. I was so pissed that I told them I wanted to cancel my order. It was SO obvious they have forgotten about it but they gave an excuse and said the kitchen was busy.

And because they are guilty, they decided to give us a complimentary brownie.

Enough of ranting. Besides the nasty service, I thought their food was really good.



Appetizer: Scallop with salmon roe. Anything with salmon roe tastes good :P



This was on their special menu because it's seasonal. Squid ink baked rice with omelette and cream sauce. YUMS



Spaghetti Mentaiko. It was cooked with mushrooms, onions, clams, baby prawns, seaweed, and spicy cod roe. I love this!



I wouldn't eat a brownie without ice cream because it would be too dry for me. This is definitely not worth trying because I find it hard and dry. Nothing fantansic!

But, their mains are definitely worth a try! Going back again :D

Cafe: Saveur

Hello! I have been neglecting this space so much lately. I am so busy with work lately that I hardly have any personal time left D:

However, no matter how busy I am, I will reward myself with a good meal(especially during the weekend). Last weekend I decided to pay a visit to Saveur because so many of my friends have told me about this place. They recommended this cafe mainly because of its pocket friendly prices.



I have upsized the pasta because it was supposed to be an appetizer and the portion would not be enough if I did not upsize. It cost only $6.90 (exclusive tax) after you upsize! Reasonable right?





The food is pretty decent. I love their Duck confit and how it goes so well with the mash potatoes. I love their salted caramel lava cake more! I am a big fan of desserts and this lava cake really didn't disappoint me. I had many chocolate lava cakes but it was my first time having a salted caramel one. It's a bit sweet but overall I really love it!





Wore out Love Bonito's Clarisse Dress! It is so comfy and it looks nicer with no belt :) I am always in blue nowadays, even my nails are blue! I wonder if it's because I am having monday blues almost every day :(



I need to update this space more often! Back to lesson plans now!

Cafes in BKK to visit

Going to do a blogpost on which cafes to go in BKK since some of my friends who are going to BKK are asking for it :) I only been to a few ones on my recent trip and I can't wait to explore more cafes which is already on my notebook already ;)

Cafes that I've visited and worth to go!! :D

1) Roast Cafe

I went here twice! The first time was for their dinner. I thought they serve all day breakfast but their brunch menu is only till 5.30pm. I was so disappointed initially but was rejoicing after I've tried their dinner menu :P

These were what we ordered for dinner:

This coffee "Magic" was recommended by the boss there and heavy caffeine-lovers will definitely love this! But pls do not drink this at night because I couldn't sleep the whole night after this! It is really a strong milk coffee drink!



My pasta choice would always be aglio olio and thus I ordered the Bacon and Garlic one. It is even served with poached egg! I love how they cook the pasta with garlic :P



Another MUSTTTT EAT on their dinner menu is the Seafood Risotto! Pls do not miss out on this! The best risotto I've ever tasted and I am sure going to order this when im back :D



And because it was so good, I came back with my friends a few days later to check out their highly-raved brunch.

Had to try this, esp when I am a matcha-lover~ Matcha float!



I was contemplating whether to get their hot chocolate and I guess I made the right choice! It doesn't taste like a normal chocolate drink because I found the the chocolate taste unique. Their chocolates are selected from a premium French chocolate called "Valrhona Chocolate".



And my Classic Eggs Benedict! Their eggs benedict was so-so though.



Their Pulled Pork Burger was very good! Served with BBQ pork, coleslaw with sour cream dressing~



For sandwich, we ordered the Crunchy Croque Monsieur which basically has ham, cheese, butter and cheese inside.



This dish is rather special and we waited 20 mins for it to be cooked. The boss was very nice and came to told us that the dish would need a longer time.

TATA~ The Cassoulet. It is a white bean stew with bacon, duck confit, garlic and sausage, looks mouthwatering right :P



Lastly, we ordered a Salmon Rosti to share because the picture of it on the menu looks so tempting hehe.

They are very generous with their salmon!



You wouldn't want to miss out on Roast ^^





For their address, check out their fb page here : https://www.facebook.com/roastbkk

Alight at Thong Lor BTS and it's a 15-20 mins walk from the BTS. Suggest taking a cab from the BTS because it's quite a long walk! It's at Soi 13, look out for the sign~


2) Mr Jones Orphanage

So after a good lunch/dinner at Roast, you could head to Mr Jones Orphanage for desserts which is just a level down from Roast:) Yes, they are just nearby to one another.

I was totally amazed and impressed by their decor!! Although I was still feeling hungry from the dinner at Roast, I did not hesitate to spend quite some time to take photos. Just too lovely ^^













So many teddy bears!



What we ordered~

Wanted to try this long ago and because the cake is photogenic :P



Lemon Meringue tart which was not too sweet and appetizing :)



Creme Brulee :D

3) Greyhound Cafe

Greyhound cafe is known for its buffalo wings and I was amazed by what their menu has to offer. They have such a wide selection of food. You can get Thai, Western, Chinese food etc etc. There's just too many! We took quite some time to decide what to order heh



















Yay, happy tummies :D



Location: Siam Paragon 1st floor

4) After you Cafe

I bet most of you must have heard of this cafe too! Their desserts are so highly raved about. We had to queue for at least half an hour on a saturday noon to be seated.

Snapping photos while waiting ^^



But, their desserts will definitely not disappoint you :P I went back twice during the trip because I see the cafe almost everywhere in BKK!



DON"T miss out their honey toast!!
