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

Cafe Review: Selfish Gene Cafe
It was raining throughout the whole weekend, but that didn't stop us from going out to get some good food for brunch on Saturday. It's sorta like a comfortable habit we've acquired - My phone will ring on Sat/Sun mornings and it's an invitation from one of the girls to go out to this cafe or that restaurant. Or sometimes I will get this insatiable craving for this that or another and I'll crazy text everyone to meet up.
This week we went back to a familiar haunt - Selfish Gene Cafe @ Craig Road, Tanjong Pagar. The first time we went there was really coincidental. We had wanted to try out The Plains, but the air conditioning there had broken down, it was a really hot day, so we left to try SGC a few doors down.
When you walk in, you see the "mission" : Gene is Selfish because he will not serve food he will not eat! And indeed, it does serve one of the best beverages and food in Singapore (in my opinion). Good quality bread and sausages, thick hot chocolate, really chill decor and good free Wi-Fi. People there usually order one dish and one drink to try, and then land up ordering more, and staying there for 3 hours with 3 drinks each. As did we, haha.
I'm not getting paid to write this, I just really appreciate that I can get what I expect every single time I visit, and I hope the standard will not drop (as it does in many cafes once they get popular).
