Chop Chop Chop~

The holidays went by really fast.. like really fast.
Did so many things during the 3 weeks... but firstly,

I went for a hair-over hahaha

Had 'em locks chopped off!

BEFORE:

Was getting bored of it

And it was getting limpy...

I've been craving for a new look and have my hair cut since about more then a year ago and i finally went and got it done! ^^

AFTER:

So I had a them cut and permed! hehe

Smile~ (:

Cheese!

A big change.. cut my hair really short.. well in comparison to my old hair.
My friends got shocked when they saw me. LOL!
But.. it's much lighter now and healthier.. plus it kinda looks fresher (?) hahaha
And I spent less than SGD200!! (i think haha)

Although I do miss my long hair.. but I'm gonna rock this look while I still can hahaha!
My hair grows fast. too fast sometimes.. but its a good thing too~

Anyway if you want to know where I got my hair done~ comment below~~

Cheers!,

Habitat?

Habitat coffee or a café~
This place has been a real mystery to me.. I've always seen my friends on Instagram taking photos of their #foodporn there... and I must say it looks really... really good.

Especially all those poached eggs and waffles ♡v♡
(I think by now you would have figured out my recent obsession of egg Benedict and ice cream on waffles hahaha) 

So lucky for me. There was a meet up with friends at habitat coffee~ yay** 

And lucky for me again. It was at Thomson Road.. which is really near home so it was super convenient. We got there and got our seats.

The environment?
I must say.. The ambience was not bad~ I really like the theme of the place very... Korean-ish?  Hahaha I don't really know how to explain it.  But... I went on a Sunday night... and it was C.R.O.W.D.E.D. so we were pretty lucky we didn't have to wait for a table for 5, although it was squeezy.

The ordering system is a self service kind? Well you just have to pay before eating. Anyways,  their menu (click on the link to see their menu! ) has all day brunch.. but only for weekends hahaha.(yay for me^^) Brunch ends at 5.30pm on weekdays though so if you wanna eat brunch you might want to take note.

Ps: water is self service...In most cafés water is self service and free flow. So if you want to drink some you gotta help yourself to some. (:

Party of 3 out of 5 ordered:

Something Fishy

Tuna pasta with olives ans spices~
alil tangy and very fishy full 

Blacken Dory

Spicy black pepper pasta, although they say it isn't spicy on the menu,
we all know.. pepper gives one hella of a punch to your taste buds.

Bread was chewy and fragrant.
Savoury and sweet too!

Wholemeal BLT
Bacom Lettuce Tomatoooo~

Ice Cream with Waffles!!!
don't really know what ice cream this is, cos we ordered salted caramel.
But this tasted like coffee. 

Drizzled with chocolate syrup

Lemon-up and Iced Chocolate

Lemon-up: Mix of Iced Lemon Tea, lemonade and 7-up weird taste though.
But worth the try.
Iced Chocolate: Its iced chocolate.. its yummy. cos its chocolate hahaha 

House-made Churros!
love this churros, probably the one of the best that I've eaten.

Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
It doesn't have that fried taste that make use feel queasy (jelat) after eating too much
*hahaha*and tastes just right.
Sorry for the blur photo the camera just didn't want to focus.

Busy Busy~~

Hi guys!
Sorry for not updating.. school holidays only lasted for.. well 12 days and my new semester started.
And yes I'm in the middle of my 2nd semester and I'm super busy with assignments and just.. assignments. yeah hahaha..

I've started on a few posts on food.. but haven't been able to totally finish writing and posting them.
So I'll try my best to post as much as possible.

Love you guys! thank you so much for reading my posts~~ xoxo

Cheers,

PoTeaTo

Out of ideas on where to go for food?

Check this place out!~

source:google

PoTeaTo

Its a bistro cafe that not only sells food and tea&coffee, they also have beers here too!
Its a great place to chill with friends or have meetings at.
What's good is that they have plugs so that you can charge your laptops there, just like coffee bean and Starbucks.. but at a less crowded and yummier environment. Hahaha

They have different menus at different times of the day.
Like the brunch menu which is only available on Saturdays and Sundays.
Breakfast, lunch, hi-tea and also dinner.

So we went to Poteato during dinner time.
There was a crowd there just like any cafe at a dinner time,
What I like about the place it has a really nice feel to it, although you will need to go to the cashier to order your food.
(Which I feel is not a big issue~ at least you don't have the pressure of waiters or waitress waiting for you to make a decision on what to eat.)
They have columns? or sections? like a wall~, and the seats are nicely placed apart enough privacy to have a conversation with your friend(s) without being overheard.

Rather then the place and environment, of course we will need food *smirk*
Their specialities are the fish and chips, salmon with roast potatoes, sweet potato chips, Louisiana Pork Ribs and Bangers and mash.
So naturally we ordered the two main dishes salmon and pork ribs, a side of potato chips and an iced mocha and a iced lemon tea.

Salmon & Roast Potatoes
Tender salmon that is layered with teriyaki sauce, cooked perfectly, juicy and tender.

 A side of salad dressed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil
 and roasted potatoes that are slighted seasoned with herbs and salt. 

Louisiana Pork Ribs
Tender and succulent ribs cooked to perfection, not tough or dry.

Comes with a side of wedges, salad and cheese (for the wedges)

Iced Mocha (Strong coffee taste with no sugar)
Iced Lemon Tea (not too sweet, perfect blend of tea and lemon)

PoTeaTo Chips

Sauces: Cheese and Tomato herb

Its like a meal on its on so it comes with a side of salad as well~

The table was a little bit small for 3 big plates haha. But we managed~

I have a really small appetite, but surprisingly the salmon was just nice for me! I finished every single bit of it, it was just that good hahaha~ (or Maybe I was just really hungry hahaha ^^)

Although the cafe was kinda far from the MRT station, but you could just take a short cut through the HBD buildings which take about 8-10mins walk. (Having a little work out before dinner really gives a you a good appetite.)
Especially after having filled our stomachs to the brim, walking around looking at the cafes and restaurants nearby also going in to a local bookstore really made the night nicer. Just nice to digest the food.

Oh! they are also not open on Mondays~
but they are opened from 12pm -10.30pm on weekdays (Tuesdays - Friday)
and 10am -10.30pm on Saturdays, 10am - 9pm on Sundays!

Enjoy your food~
Hope you will have a good time too!~
Cheers!

A day of love~

Valentine's day a day for love and romance and..a day filled with couples all around. hahahaha!

To be honest, I have never celebrated Valentine's day in my 21 years of my life...
well not with a guy at least (cos I definitely have celebrated it with girlfriends and ice cream hahaha )

Well.. this year was a little bit different a special someone brought me out on a date
and gave me my first bouquet of roses (heart emoticon~~)
I've never been bought out on a date on vday and surprised with flowers. so hehe

Anyways, enough about my blabbering of being in love~
So today, I'll be talking about my sweet surprise haha he brought me to
The Cheese & Chocolate Bar at The Club, which is located at the top floor of MBS.
and..it was my first time there.. so i was pretty amazed by the view at the top floor..
and how windy it was at night.

My review on the food was okay?
It's kinda important that you like chocolate to go for a chocolate buffet.
If not it'll be a waste of money.. cos pretty much almost everything sweet was made of chocolate.

So here goes the pictures~ (sorry if they seem blur)
And i didn't really get all the food. Cos I couldn't wait to dig it as well..

I love how girls a gifted a rose at the door when they come in, adds to the awww feeling hahaha
oh and gingerbread cookies  for each of us ^^

Chocolate Creme Brulee

Warm chocolate lava cake &
Chocolate mousse in waffle

Chocolate shots

Chocolate tart

Salted caramel nougat cake

Raspberry Earl Gray Mousse Cake

Chocolate dipped straberries

Passion fruit panna cotta

The warm lava cake oozing yummy chocolate

The view at night~

There were some hits and misses on the dessert..
but most of them tasted pretty okay~
My fav was the chocolate lava cake and the earl gray mousse cake.
There was also a cheese bar and bread, and fruits and of course...
wine was served, red wine and white wine...which was okay~
They also served hot chocolate and tea or coffee.
The service is really good.. so was the company
The view and ambience was great, perfect place for a celebration.

I really enjoyed my night. Thank you my valentine.

Cheers,
-Cheris :)

Holidays are here!

My holidays are finally here!
School has been excruciatingly stressful and busy. Considering how a semester of mine is 4 months.
I literally have no idea how I got through it.
But I must say, i give props to those that went though their degree and furthered their studies to masters.
You guys~ *two thumbs up*

Studying is not easy.. it really isn't
Considering how long a break I took before i decided it was time to enroll for college,
I really needed it. hahahaha!
Plus that was only my diploma!

Anyway I'm just glad I'm done with my exams..
Now.. just praying that I pass for my papers.. *fingers crossed*

So with the 2 weeks break I have before the start of a new semester,
I'll try and update more often!
will be uploading a post on v-day as soon as well!! ^^

Cheers~
