Yet again it's Pang and I on an impromptu cafe exploration. Yun's schedule is so packed I don't even know how we can ever go out. :-( Anyway, we decided to go around the Bugis area but ended up at the Lavender area instead. Loysel's toy is really out of the way and to be honest, if you ask me to go alone, I'd turn back to the MRT halfway there as we had to walk through this "ulu" forested area (there was a proper road) and luckily Pang had me as her trusty GPS haha.
We ordered the Big Breakfast which was 16 bucks ( i think) and they had some coffee promotion so we had a free latte (maybe it's because the barista thought pang was too pretty ;-)) But sadly, the latte was disgusting. QUESTION #1, DO YOU PUT SUGAR IN LATTE? QUESTION #2, DO YOU STIR YOUR LATTE OR DRINK THE FOAM FIRST? QUESTION #3, IS THERE SUCH A THING AS COLD LATTE? We were like two idiots sitting there googling how to drink our latte...
Anyway, uh on the overall it was okay haha it's quite alot for one person though. Yet again, nothing very special. The shop deco is nice and cozy though. :-)
Loysel's toy was beside Kallang River and there was this park so we decided to take a walk/do more exploration. There was this pretty bougainvillea plant covered sitting area so we decided to take a picture and it really reminded me of one picture on fashiononymous.net haha. Anyway amid the hot sun and squinty eyed me( my spectacles nose piece dropped off = not used to no glasses), we had fun. Doing aerobics at the fitness station and taking pictures of wild chicken/roosters and passing by unfriendly construction workers..Yeah we are weird.
So we left Kallang and went in search of Windowsill in the Woods. THIS IS A MUST GO PLACE THEIR PIES ARE HEAVENLY, and the place is oh so cute. :> We tried the (last) grasshopper pie (mint + chocolate) and the smores pie. Both were nice and the service was great. Plus they gave us an entire jug of cold water which was exactly what we needed for walking idk how long in the hot sun. For those interested, it's just opposite the Jalan Besar football stadium amidst some hardware stores and stuff. Thereafter we went to Chye Seng Huat Hardware just around the corner which wasn't a hardware store (if you don't know) but it was so crowded (sobs) so no Papa Palheta's coffee for us. But we did take a picture hahaha we were channeling our inner tourist for the day.
Lastly, we ventured off to Haji Lane where we saw some filming going on with Alaric Tay and Kym Ng and I can't remember the last person (OOPS). I've heard the hype about Haji Lane since I was like 13 and only now have I visited this place. But in my opinion it wasn't much, yeah cute stores and shops and the like of it but I expected something better haha.
