Bangkok Bound

Hey :) this post is gonna be about my bangkok trip and my ABSOLUTELY INSANE SHOPPING TRIP. On a side note, so many people are going to bangkok now even though of the riots and stuff. However on my trip there, so happens that there was a pause in the occurrence of resistance and riots so it was pretty safe thankfully :)

Ok back to shopping. This trip is mainly about shopping and i bought around like 56 items. HAHAHAH within 4 days. Okay thats not really a lot, but daddy kept complaining about having excess baggage. We travelled on jetstar so there was a baggage weight limit -100kg . Our baggage totalled up to 99.7kg HHAHAHA that kinda shut daddy up. Hehehehe :)

Anyway we went chatuchak market on the first and second day. Its insanely hot and humid there and the some shop owners there mark up the price of items a whole lot, so its advisable to walk around to know the gist of the ranges of prices of the items before settling with a price when bargaining. I bought a high waist denim shorts for $4sgd there. INSANE OR WHAT. They were selling hipster denim shorts for $2sgd too but i didnt buy them Hahah.OKIE HERE ARE THE PICTURES

The food there was awesome too. THE PADTHAI AND GREEN CURRY AND TOMYUM. Heavenly omgosh. Moreover the food there is really cheap like less than a dollar sgd unless you go to like some attas restaurant, then its different hahahah.

HAHAH anyway heres a picture korkor took of me at the skytrain station that he was pretty proud of and kept pestering me to post on instagram hahahaha

Okie im gonna end this post with selfies with my family :)

Pizza Hut Gathering with Ladyironchef

When Sherrine told me that she was one of the 25 lucky winners of Ladyironchef's Pizza Hut Gathering, I was so happy for her! What more when she wanted to bring me along as well (squeals in delight) :D As an avid follower of Ladyironchef's blog, I was very excited and immediately agreed to it!

During the lead-up to the gathering, both of us were asking each other about the dress code and if it would be appropriate to wear shorts/sneakers etc.

Luckily, the gathering was a rather informal and close-knit one and unlike what I've thought of. I thought everyone would be distant and dressed up well. Instead, everyone was having so much fun at the event and thankfully the atmosphere was also lightened up by the friendly and warm Brad! By the way, he looks better in real life I must say heehee. I felt very comfortable as the people around me are casual and laughing heartily over the food. I was also glad to see almost everyone taking pictures of their food (only me doing it everytime, so embarrassing :p).

Time for the Food Pictures!

By the way, these portions were to be shared among 4 people. Really thankful for the other 2 people at our seat who didn't mind taking pictures of the food etc hehe ;)

Not forgetting Brad, who was a very warm host that night, going from table to table to talk to us personally. He made the effort to know us by our names and talking to us like a friend, which was very heartwarming. Furthermore, he did not have any airs even though he was a famous blogger (very nice and unpretentious!). Because of that, Sherrine even said that she will like him even more!! 

Me and Sherrine with Brad ^^

Sherrine was really lucky during the event because guess what? She won a chance to make the pizza and bring it home!

In this picture, Brad was like, "Add more cheese! We don't get to do this everyday right?" HAHAHA

Eating it raw? Looks like a good idea.

Pictures were taken of Sherrine, Brad and the other lucky winner!

All don for Pizza making! 

Chef and I! Hahaha

Before we left, we took another picture with Brad, this time with the pretty girlfriend Melody! The pictures really dont flatter Melody, she looks much prettier in real life :) 

She's so cute and friendly!

Before we left, we sure didn't forget to take a picture with the two friendly hosts- Brad and Melody, and with the Christmas banner which was instagram-worthy.

So nice of the organisers because they provided us goodie bags as well!

Pictures of Sherrine and I haha :D

 Christmas Tree at City Square Mall- acting Christmasy

I have to rush off to Vivo now, so ending off with this picture!

This was especially for photo-taking

Selfish Gene Cafe

I've heard rave reviews of Selfish Gene Cafe as I scoured through reviews of that cafe (especially through ladyironchef's blog) which really enticed me to visit the cafe. Therefore, I've decided to meet my friends there in the hopes of having a hearty meal after not seeing them for 6 months or so.

We walked from Outram Park MRT Station to the cafe and it took us less than 10 minutes. You have to walk by this walkway from Outram Park Exit G to the cafe.

After 10 minutes... We have reached the cafe!

Upon entering around 3pm, we realised that the cafe was half packed with diners. 

Service was good and we were served in less than 10 minutes, with patient waitresses who always have smiles on their faces whenever we need them. We were extremely pleased with their service because there's actually no service charge and such great service came at a bonus! This made the atmosphere very warm and relaxed as the diners could chit-chat peacefully. The polite waitresses hardly disturbed us while we were eating and chit-chatting.

John, being cheerful as usual

Weixian and I waiting for the food.

YES! After 7 hours without food for me and perhaps 12 hours for Weixian, our glorious food have arrived.

The Valerie ($12); Weixian's. The white stuff is cream cheese and not mayonnaise.

Scrambled eggs on brioche ($11); Mine. Scrambled eggs and the bread at the bottom, no additions to it.

In my opinion, the scrambled eggs were tasty on first few bites, but as the creaminess gets to you if you munch on it too quickly, you may get sick of the taste. Therefore, savour it slowly, between sips of plain water. The bread was fine, it was decent. The vegetables were fine, not the freshest of all but was a good mix balance between eggs and bread. The dressing was great.

Smoked Salmon Sandwich($13); John's. 

I found the Smoked Salmon Sandwich a little overpriced because the salmon and bread tasted ordinary.

The portions served was insufficient to satiate our tummies, especially Weixian's appetite for the scrambled eggs haha.

Weixian's special scrambled eggs($4.50) - not in the menu 

Mine and John's(each $6). The banana peanut butter cake was mine, while the chocolate cake was John's.

For me, the banana cake is rather worth a try as it is different from your ordinary banana cake. The banana cake was rather well done because the inside was warm and moist. The peanut butter coating on top made it a little drier. 

The chocolate cake is not really worth the try because it was dry and did not have the moistness promised in the menu.

After our meals and having the usual catch-up sessions(although conversations were punctuated by technological gadgets, hmpf), we went around the area to "rac-key".

Being girls, Weixian and I took many pictures, posing like models near the shophouses haha.

After taking the pictures, we realised this was a hotel omg.

 We found this picture taken best :)

John joined in the fun with Weixian!

It was a fun day in all and sadly, we had to part around 6pm as both Weixian and John had something on.

Anyway, this was my first time "rackeying" Outram Park area, hope I can come again to try out other cafes around this vicinity!

Ending off with a group picture, loves!
