I visited the national museum on a saturday afternoon as it is one of the open house days and am surprised by a flea market at the second level.
After browsing through the various stalls displaying their choice products and creation, I stopped by littlehouseofdreams because this is one stall that caught my eye. I was surprised by how they could make such a confined space of a small square table look so professional, interesting and products so appealing.
Dressed in a red polkadot table lining with white cake stands and wooden shelves. Yes, they are selling cakes, cup cakes and interestingly, jar cakes. Every cake is opened midway to allow customers to view the cross section of the cakes is a perfect idea. I'm surprised.... The insides of the cakes looked as perfect as the outside. Dressed neatly with dainty decorations outside with a soft hue of pink, these cakes appealed very much to the sweet nature of a girl. The flavors looked wonderful and I am most attracted to the carrot cake and chocolate rootbeer bundt because they look different from my previous carrot cake experiences and chocolate rootbeer bundt i've never tasted such a creation before.
The cupcakes looked dainty and lovely too... Very Pretty I must say and the Jar Cakes are what attracted me the most. I've never tasted a Jar Cake, its actually cake in a jar and the wooden shelve where they display these Jars made me curious of the taste. So I chose a funky flavor... Salted Caramel Chocolate Fudge... I believe will be an ultimate bewildering experience for me.
After purchasing the cake and strolling around whatever that is left of the flea market, I proceeded outside to seat at the Foyer of the museum. My Curious kitty caught me there.. I must try the newly acquired JAR CAKE...
To my amazement, the inside looked as pretty as the outside. Upon popping the lid off, what greeted me was a swirl of cream with droplets of caramel. After admiring it for a while, I dipped my spoon in.. and yes... its a spoonful of whipped cream with droplets of caramel and chocolate fudge with a rich chocolate cake. The taste was overwhelming... I could taste the saltiness of the caramel, with the rich fudgy texture of the chocolate cake, which i find bouncy and lastly the soft fluffy cream. The balance was good, salty then sweet and a fluff, yet this small jar cake is filling and rich... So its good to share though its small as its very creamy.
I have an extremely good impression of the products, display and the enthusiastic staff that served me. If I have any parties, I think it would be such a luxury to have their cakes as part of the catering... Sure to UP the BLISS index :)

Love to hangout at this outlet on my non-working weekdays, though I find it always packed to the brim even for weekday brunches. It must be the super aromatic thick and traditional tasting coffee that brought the crowd...
I like the deco of the place, the old antique looking everyday living items they place all over the walls and shelves, made me feel like i'm in a 60s kopitiam. The music in the background is a soothing tune of the 60s oldies in a contemporary jazz rhythm, extremely alluring. I love to just seat and watch the uncle behind the counter make his coffee as steam arises and feels the air the potent caffeine fused aroma.
Love their traditional toast and half boiled eggs. The eggs are seriously the 'bigger' eggs and you sure feel full after having the eggs plus 2 slices of thinly sliced toast with kaya and cold storage butter which tasted very much like cheese to me :) Love the crispy slightly burnt toast and the sticky sensation of the kaya, slightly sweet yet balanced by the slightly salty hard creamy butter. The combination brings forth superb taste, right mix of crunchiness and softness and right mix of memories from your beloved childhood for some.
Its a good place to hang and service is pretty good. I once saw a guy who complained that his eggs were (1) cold, they changed for him a new set of eggs, (2) not cooked enough, they changed for him, (3) overcooked, they made a new batch for him. So for the patience and customer service its a 5 star :)
The place would be more comfortable if the seats werent placed so close and perhaps a larger entrance as the queue filled up the entrance and its really hard to move in or out :)

If you like handmade candies, then you will like sticky.... Freshly handmade and fully customizable. These candies unlike the regular off the shelf candies are brightly colored and full of flavor. Lots of interesting flavors to choose from and priced economically.
It takes a longer time to melt in your mouth because its almost 100% GULA GULA (Sugar). I love to watch them mold and make the candies... The thumping, the dragging of the sugar dough looks like it requires a man with super strong arms. The gloves are huge and thick and I can imagine how hot the sugar dough is. The smell of hot sugar somehow appeals to me...
Love their free flow of trial candies.. you can almost test every flavour before you buy them and they sell by 100grams.... My favourite flavors: Pomegranate, watermelon, strawberry and cream and bubblegummy!!!
Love the art of making candies, their demo, their customization and most importantly bringing live candy making into the heart of Singapore. Its an educational and fun service they offer.. Loving it :)

Popped by Bistro Du Vin's original outlet one sunny weekday afternoon for lunch with a couple of my colleagues. Promising to serve up honest to goodness classical French food, the restaurant is one of the many brand names under the Les Amis umbrella.
Located on the 2nd floor of Shaw Centre, Bistro Du Vin plays neighbour to a Vietnamese Restaurant and of course it's upmarket sibling, Les Amis. The interior is reminiscent of a typical French brasserie, from the red walls right down to the tiled floor. However, tables are spaced a little too close for comfort which makes normal conversations a tad difficult. Proper sound proofing is also lacking and the entire place sounds like a market when running at full capacity.
Complimentary Bread - The bread was a simple and simple crusty baguette served with orange butter. Pretty nice and a great way to stave off the hunger pangs.
White Asparagus Velouté - I honestly didn't quite take to the white asparagus veloute, which was a little too runny for my liking. There was also a bitter aftertaste to it - something which I certainly didn't appreciate.
Char Grilled Australian Angus Ribeye - This required a top up of $10 to the price of the set lunch but it was well worth it in my humble opinion. Done up medium as per my request, the meat was flavourful and juicy with hints of smokiness from the char grilling. The accompanying truffle mash ( $3 ) was smooth and fragrant as well and the truffle honestly helped elevate what would have been a boring, bland side of mash.
However, in a subsequent visit, I had the exact same thing and it was still good, just that the salt content was a little too high for my liking.
Walnut Tart - And for desserts I had a pretty good walnut tart - solid tart base with walnuts set amidst rich chocolate and caramel filling. Between this and the Pink Tiramisu which I had on my subsequent visit, I honestly preferred this (though the pink tiramisu was something different). Served up with a scoop of real vanilla bean ice cream.
The standard lunch set is a reasonable $30 but it is the top ups that really "upsize" the bill. Still, food quality is pretty decent and I especially like their steaks. Service is rather clinical and lacks warmth though - an area that the restaurant might want to look into.

This is a pretty small outlet of art supplies store of the ART FRIEND branches however it has all that i needed for my art ventures.
Sketching supplies, oil paints and all that you need for that art project of yours, they do carry a good range of materials with various textures, colours and make. These supplies are neatly stacked according to their types on rows and rows of racks making browsing a breeze. I could quickly find what I wanted, some foam rubber number and letters, a few A4 pieces of glittering foam sheets, a wooden plaque backing, some paint markers in my desired fluorescent hue and some spray on adhesives.
While looking through the items I wanted for my art project, I also noticed other stuffs that got my creative juices flowing. Simple materials like wooden blocks, steel wires or even crepe paper are some of the things we could easily get from hardware stores or small shop houses about a decade ago, however these things have become uncommon items and could only be found in the art supplies store and being priced as a premium.
I think their prices are reasonable. Not exactly cheap but I don't mind paying a little more when I can get everything under one roof. Service is great, the staff seemed to know whats anything for and where to get what you want. Its not as big as compared to the other outlets but its good enough for me. Easily accessible location near the main road but parking could be a problem.

The chocolate cake is smooth, filled with creamy chocolate mousse and loads of dark sticky rich chocolate. One tiny slice is enough to hit heaven...
I was so surprised by the quality of Chocolate Origin's chocolate cake. I was served a tiny slice from a birthday bash event and was surprised by this humbly looking plain chocolate cake which taste exploded in my mouth. The filling is rich and made of premium chocolate. Its full of flavor and yet of the right balance of sweetness and the raw taste of cocoa. Love the sleek smooth and chic looking glossy patent look of the face of the cake. Its plain looking, just like its packing which is a white box and a small logo at the side.
It seems the other chocolate fudge cakes from LANA or Awfully chocolate has met their match. Now if I were to impress anybody with chocolate cakes in Singapore, Chocolate Origin will be the one.
Smooth, rich and premium tasting yet with a reasonable price. A small cake serving about 6 will cost approx $28 however because of the quality tightly packed in that one small round sleek looking cake, its totally worth every cent.
There serve only plain chocolate or dark chocolate... How specialized is that :)

Even though subway is EVERYWHERE... and their sandwiches are the same for as long as I had a subway sandwich, I still like it.. Because its healthy and the cookies are yummy!
This outlet is very special, its right underneath the escalator and with its high tables and chairs, it is not very comfy to hang and thats perhaps why i always could get a seat at this outlet and like everyone else, i won't stay very long here.
Food is great, service is quick at the counter however, tables don't get cleared so often and the queue starts from the inside of the already crampy eating space.. Should it start from the entrance, it would have looked more popular and more natural for people to buy their food and then walk deeper into the restaurant to seat.
They have improved their drink counter. Now they do have MILO for self-serve :)
Really interesting outlet, but beware the onlookers from the upward escalator above you. It means guarding your food to prevent any UFO from floating down from above and watch that cleavage of yours.

They have moved to a spanking new outlet, perhaps location might just still be the same but the layout of this part of Suntec City has changed tremendously. I hardly could recognize the mall though I was labelled the Mall Queen of SG by the GAGA Girls...
The floor has been replaced with shiny new stone slabs and the lightings a sparkling new housing with bright bulbs that gives a glaring floor shine. Along with the huge ceiling to floor shop front glass, this outlet is simply amazing. The layout for every La Senza outlet is about the same with spacious changing rooms and the signature pink, black and white colour scheme. Large signboards showcasing in stall styles and sales if any as well as all the OH SO PRECIOUS bras, underwear and lingerie neatly hung from their wall racks.
I love the way they organize stuffs unlike the regular lingerie department at malls, they just simple stack the same design together with their individual sizes in a bunch and perhaps some mannequins wearing them.. Sometimes it doesn't even look appealing, perhaps the design, cut, style, material and look is not a good combination. La Senza's bras are appealing, not just in colour but also in style and comfort. Yes.. It looks comfortable and extremely sexy and after trying it in the changing room, I suppose what you see is indeed what you get.
The staff is helpful and have good product and customer knowledge. Armed with a handy measuring tape draped across their shoulders, they definitely can find the right fit and size for you and of course if you would wish to be pushed from the basement to the pant-house, they sure have the right model that can do just that and yet still looking classy. The staff will introduced me to some of the best bargains and best styles and advised me to try on a few designs due to the different in cutting and our individual preferences, while we proceeded towards the large and luxurious changing room, i was surprised they actually have to use a key to open up the changing room for trials. Hm... perhaps its a anti-thief precaution or maybe even a no sleeping inside changing room counter measure, since the changing rooms are so comfy and luxurious.
The entire experience left me feeling like a princess and radically i felt like running through the mall screaming " I LOVE MY BOOBS" :)

Taking Sexy up a Notch!!!
La Senza's sexy lingerie is a must have for every cosmopolitan woman.
I am always excited to step into La Senza... The shiny, smooth and hard flooring that made my Stiletto heels sounds like a million dollars and the varied arrays of vivid colours dressing the walls with distinctive flavors of suggestive brassier, kinky night gowns, neon narrow back undies heightens my sense of self worth and level of sexiness.
Love the piano black furniture and the hot pink fluffs that make the atmosphere so provocative and exciting. Carefully designed Lingerie in pop colours and delightful details are being being hung carefully on their respective racks like trophies lifted high for all to see and oogle... The designs are intricate... you can find simple basic coloured pieces to well-padded to enhance those curves in peekaboo lace or elegant gold trimmed soft fabric. The designs are endless and you can get them in a matching set to set the heat rising...
Love the bold displays and the easy to reach drawers that arranges the brassier according to your size. In other words, check out the designs on display and find all the different types of sexiness available in the drawer according to your size.
Watch out for the LEVELS... well its truly as describe.. the level of sexiness. Le Senza Lingerie can help you climb from basement to the penthouse effortlessly. Push the hotness upwards and watch the heat escalate. Well pushing up your prized asset is also a delicate skill. A bad push up bra will make you look suffocated with lines and curves like a tied up rice dumpling and so much padding that make you look like you have got ROCKS for breast.... well... invest in a good level 4 La Senza and make the by watchers breathless instead. With the right soft natural padding that lifts your assets ever so gently, caressing that soft bouncy fullness without tight lines making you swell with pride while you party your night away. So be sure to check out the LEVELs on the top of the display cabinet to pick your level of sexiness.
But as mum always say... you must always try what you wanna buy to avoid disappointment when you get home. The Staff is always nice with a cheery face to show you to the changing room which is spacious, chic and layered with a thick fluff of black carpet. Lock the cold heavy matt steel door handle and go wild with these colourful and sexy girl things. Ample space for me to turn around and many wall hooks for easy hanging plus a small stool to see how you will look like when seated is why we take so long in the changing room. Be Calm!!! theres a few changing rooms so you can take your time.
After trying, buying is a breeze. The lady at the cashier is helpful and quick in packing your merchandises neatly, wrapping them up in 2 layers of hot pink paper and also stuff a hot pink paper on the top of the paper bag to prevent others from sneaking a peak at your merchandise. I exited the shop in style with a black dotted paper bag that looked like a flower, roughly the size of my handbag feeling excited and money well spent.
Well, I find the price to be slightly higher but their items are definitely worth every cent... Perhaps you also profit from not having to turn on the heaters at night. Be sure to join their membership programs and watch out for their sales...
Sizzling Hot and Pretty Lingerie... Every woman deserves to be pampered... and I Love being a Woman!

Love this outlet at Somerset 313. Its the first outlet of Uniqlo I have ever been and as their corporate outlook, the entire shop is brightly lit and glossy white. It looks clean, well organized and the products are displayed clean and neat.
Its such a pleasure to be shopping in a logically organized shop such as this. Related merchandises are always placed near by and prices visible and easy to understand. Love the quality of their wear and the friendliness of their staff. Its always an upbeat atmosphere in the shop, staff moving efficiently and smiles all over.
My favourite buys is the printed t-shirts. Designs so cool with special themes such as CAMPBELL, ANIMATIONS such as ONE PIECE and Japanese corporate brandings which is unique to their franchise. Also hip with the latest trending fashion must haves like skinny jeans and bright neon coloured tights... Good sizing that fit most of Singaporean Girls, though there is a survey that Asian girls especially in Singapore are growing in average dress size, I;m sure if everybody progresses on, then size M will still look like a size M though its suppose to be a larger size M by yesterday's standards.
Love their promotions and bargains... and they truly bring it down and back on up over the weekend kinda thing. I bought some tights for $19.90 (orginally priced at $35.90) over the weekend and the next weekday the price went back up to the original pricing. Quick yar!
Its a huge shop, you can get all your basics including undergarments for both girls and boys, clothings, accessories and even cool looking jackets. Great place to shop, nice stuffs to have... Will intro to all my friends :)
