Cafe Review: Duchess Brunch@ Broadcast HQ

Sunday brunch at Broadcast HQ, a really chill place which rocks alternative beats while you munch. Nigel DJ-ed there last week and it's pretty near all our houses, so we gave it a shot. It's a 3-storey shophouse on Rowell Road (full of character already) and I love brick walls, and they have brick walls (score!). Brunch was on first floor, with a niffy music section where you can buy vinyls and they broadcast concert footage. I think there's a dancefloor/bar on the 2nd and 3rd floors, have to go back to check it out and try their sake peach jelly tingamajig.

For the food, don't expect your usual brunch breakfast plates with scrambled eggs. We had the braised pork cheeks with a sunny-side-up, baked beans and sausages, topped with toast (SGD20). The wanton chips were good, I recommend it with the cheese and onion dip, and the pea guacamole (SGD 16 with 3 dips, SGD 4 to top up chips). Only miff was that the coffee was slightly over-roasted and could have been done better. But overall, a really chill place to hang out if you like indie music.

Fab4 Photoshoot

For my birthday early this year, I got the chance to do a fun and casual (and hot!) photoshoot @ Ann Siang Hill with my favorite people :) Memories for life! <3>

My Week in Instagram

En route to Shanghai, sunrise from the plane.

Fruitful shopping trip, finally got Nettie to change her bagpack!

Toffee nut lovin' on a Tuesday afternoon! I love coffee and public holidays!

Big feet and small paws. We pass this road every day to and from work.

Yummylicious my lunch today. Superb chashu in black sesame pork broth.

Steam// Boat

This weekend Nigel and Irene are off to Taipei. Initially wanted to join them but decided not to in the end...URGHS REGRET. LOL. But I'm happy they are having fun and that they are following my itinerary hehe. Feels like some part of me is with them!

But to combat our jelly-ness, the Fab3 headed to Crystal Jade XLB @ Holland Village for some hearty steamboat. Can you believe it, it took me 17 phone calls over 2 days to get a reservation -___-

For the price ($25.80++ per pax) I thought it's pretty worth. Comes with free flow of xiaolongbaos (gahgahgah), drinks, desserts. Fresh prawns (100g per pax) - that was Nettie's fav. Soup base we chose spicy Sichuan and pork soup (it's super thick, I would have preferred a more light soup base but it's ok). Plus you get to eat in a comfortable air-conditioned restaurant environment! Only thing is you have to eat within 2 hours, but it ain't a problem for 3 girls :)

Although we were full of soup and Coca Cola, we took a little stroll within Holland Village and were won over by 1-for-1 beer promotions. Hurhur. So we chilled at Tango's for abit, having girly chats and gossips :D
