• Iced Mocha 
• Butter Cookie Tart ($4.50)
• Matcha Tart ($4.50)
• Lemon Cake

Average ice mocha.
Butter cookie tart is nice for the first few bites otherwise it's too oily/buttery.

Matcha Tart is awesome! Not because i'm a matcha lover but it really is good as they added saltish ingredients to match. Matcha is usually combined with red bean (azuki) but this saltish combination makes you want to gobble it down!

Lemon Cake is very moist, not too sour & unlike the usual normal cakes that are too creamy/buttery.

Overall, their desserts are awesome as their combinations are so unique & delicious. Too bad the location is so inconvenient & inaccessible. As it's suited at the far end from the polytechnic's main gate.

Green Tea Latte
Didn't order any drinks for myself as Wimbly Lu spoilt my expectations of Green Tea Latte in cafes. But we saw a lady's order that looks good so i decided to try.
Cupplets' GTL is good & comparable with Starbucks'.

♡ BestieCooknBake - 21st August, Friday ♡

Bestie & I decided to bake Green Tea Crepe on a Saturday.
Had an impromptu dinner (Hai Di Lao) which got postponed (long queue) to supper with our bfs on Friday.
Went home with Bestie which starts our supposingly 2D1N stay over but extended to 3D2N 

Brunch
French Toast with mini omelets of different combinations.
• Ham, Tuna & Egg 
• Cauliflower & Egg

Dinner
• Thai instant noodles (MAMA Brand) with Egg
• Smoothie (Apple, Banana, Mango & Milk)
• Fries that are air fried with thai chili sauce

Broccoli with Egg
Come to think of it, we really love eggs as all our meals consist of eggs 
All of the dishes are Bestie's ideas, while i just help out as a noob assistant 

#Bestie
Matcha flavoured Crepe with Chocolate & Banana Fillings

No recipe as we're not professionals. We are simply food lovers that like to bake & cook.
close-up shot
Took quite a few hours to make as we had to spread a thin layer of batter over 20-30 times to build up our crepe.
We might try making crepe or move on to other baked products but we will definitely continue our stayovers & cook our own brunch & dinner

♡ Top 5 Project Salesperson - 18th August, Tuesday ♡

Top 5 Project Salesperson
Lf collecting his Top 5 Project Salesperson award from his CEO.

I'm so proud of him! I've seen him working so hard for monthssss. Working till the wee hours, doing his website, meeting clients.

Lf even abandoned me to go back to his office before the movie starts. So i watched Ted 2 alone while waiting for him to return as he say he will try to rush back.

But he's too busy to return so i watched the whole movie alone, in Cineleisure's Cathay Cinema Hall 3 which is designed exclusively for couples seating

Congratulations & well done my love! Looking forward to more awards!

♡ Candlenut - 17th August, Monday ♡

Happy Birthday my Bestie~
This sums up our Bestie-ship. Annoyingly loving Too much hassle, so i didn't bother to edit the pimples away.
We had a hard time deciding what to have for dinner. It was undecided till 5:25pm on the day itself when i made the reservation. Something that we seldom eat, Peranakan Cuisine. But they do not have ala carte menu for dinner so it's like fine dining with many courses for dinner.

Complimentary Keropok
Appetizers
• Jiu Hu Char (stir-fry yam bean w/ shredded dried cuttlefish) for Kueh Pie Tee Shell
• Tumbuk Prawns Laksa Leaf on Starfruit
• Grain Fed Australian Beef Flank Satay
• Crispy Chicken Skin Sambal Telur (egg)

The Kueh Pie Tee is very normal.
Prawns are nice but not the starfruit.
My very first time trying Beef & i'm fine with the Beef satay but not the Beef for the main course.
The quail egg taste good with the crunchy chicken skin & cucumber with sambal.

Main Course
• Wok Fried Wild Caught Baby Squid, Squid Ink, Sambal Petai, Fried Shallots
• Baby Sweet Potato Leaf & Kang Kong Curry, Crispy Whitebait
• Grilled Barramundi Fillet, Dried Shrimp Sambal, Red Onion Relish
• Itek Tim Local Duck & Pork Broth, Salted Mustard Cabbage, Tomato
• BMS7 Wagyu Beef Buah Keluak, Peranakan Signature Black Nut Sauce

The potato leaf & kang kong is nice because of the tasty curry sauce.
Fillet is awesome.
Soup is average too.
The beef odor is too strong for me but the meat is tender.
Desserts
• Complimentary Tapioca Cake & Seri Muka
• Buah Keluak Ice Cream, Salted Caramel, Warm Chocolate Espuma
• Candlenut’s Signature Chendol Cream, Pandan Jelly, Gula Melaka
• Complimentary Mouth Cleansing Jelly (sour)

Don't really enjoy the complimentary kuehs.
The Buah Keluak Ice cream is extraordinary. There's a mixture of sweet, spicy, salty, bitter, warm & cold. It's complex taste messes with your taste buds & there's poprocks that keep popping in your mouth.
I love the chendol very much & it's like beancurd texture with gula melaka & pandan jelly.

Total bill: $127.12
$50 per pax before GST & Service Charge + $4 barley per pax

Presents for Bestie
Every year i will ask Bestie what she wants as her birthday gift as i think it's better to buy something she wants/needs than something she don't like or won't use. But this year, this Bestie can't think of what she wants until i've already made an order for Xiaomi. So it's too late to have the SG50 kitties but a SG50 pink power bank instead.

Very last minute birthday card.
My very 1st card to Bestie is computer-made as my art (drawing & handwriting) is very bad.
Mi In-Ear Headphones Crystal Pink with Swarovski Elements.
I like it so much but they only have it in Pink or White. So i didn't get as white will turn yellow.

Mi Power Bank 5000 mAH Red (but it looks pink irl).
It's the SG50 limited edition & it's the slimmer version compared to my Mi 5000 mAh!
Oh! and the Minnie Mouse pouch to store all the stuff if not it's so unpresentable.
I realised i love the stuff that i bought for Bestie so much.
Hope Bestie like the Peranakan Cuisine & the gifts!
