Dome Cafe


After buying wall-climbing gear at Camper's Corner, my friends and I headed to Dome Cafe at Singapore Art Museum for coffee. Good times with good friends.

Mart Boulevard: A Thai Restaurant

                           
I love Thai food and this place has the best Pad Thai I've tasted here in Singapore (yes, I've tried the ones at Golden Mile). I always get the ones with prawn and today tried their green curry chicken plus mango with sticky rice for dessert. The chicken was so soft it almost melts in your mouth.

The stylish interior of the restaurant is a reflection of Thailand's rich and colorful cultural background. The staff is always helpful and cheerful - look for the sweet uncle!

Race the Dead 2013


Got my Race the Dead race pack today from my friends who queued for at least an hour last Saturday (thank God for friends like them!) and I must say I'm impressed with the waterproof bag it came in with.

This 5k run is one of a kind - I (as a runner) will have to outrun zombies who will 'zombify' me by taking my 2 lifelines represented by the red tags. Shall I run, scream or hide?!

Now, whoever says Singapore is boring --- is wrong! :P

Here's a teaser of what we can expect :)



Update to this post, here's the a video showcasing what I missed because of an injured knee :(


Two of my friends who volunteered to be one of the zombies are in this video :)

Song Fa Bak Kut Teh


Bak kut teh FTW! Glad to have finally tried this famous dish (meat bone soup) from the place with a never-ending queue of patrons. I've been hearing about this place - it has the reputation of having the best bak kut teh in the city.

Another TTT ticked off my list ;)

You have to try it at least once. Find more information here.

The Song Fa Bak Kut Teh branch we visited is at 17 New Bridge Road #01-01 (S) 059386

Drury Lane



I stumbled upon this newly opened restaurant during lunch today and I loved how unassuming it but has lots to offer. It's a good place to hang out, meet friends and/or have a quiet read at their second level. They have all-day breakfast (yay!) as I love breakfast food. The bacon baked eggs I ordered is to die for! The staff were kind, helpful and cheerful which is a big deal for me who loves the entire dining experience and not just the quality of food.

On my return, I thought of getting a light meal so I chose their 1935 toast which is French toast with peanut butter and banana and it was very filling!

Los Primos Tapas Bar


It was a delight to be back at Los Primos Tapas Bar at Club Street a couple of weeks ago. I 
wasn't able to take photos the first time I was here so I made an effort not to miss out this time. Missing in this image are the 2 baskets of homemade bread we enjoyed dipping in the sauce of gambas al ajillo, which is a must-try! We ordered two of that - yes, that good! :) 

The Croquetas de Jamón were surprisingly good (given that I'm not a fan of deep fried food). Calamari was good but better when eaten hot. Sausages were tasty and the meatballs were a little bit too salty for my taste. And yes, this was a feast for 2 people :D 

Thank God for the ability to run off all the carbs and calories! Haha.
