Food For Thought (National Museum of Singapore)

I originally wanted to post about our trip to National Museum of Singapore, unfortunately the roll of film I shot in there came out a little underexposed. So I decided to write about my favourite pancakes from Food For Thought instead!

Pancakes for everyone!

Le Chocolat Cafe

We went to Le Chocolat Cafe for a mini birthday celebration for a friend. Le Chocolat Cafe is located in Club Hotel along Ann Siang Hill, it is a small but cozy cafe offering an extensive desserts and drinks menu. I should have taken photos of the cafe itself, but I must have been too distracted by the pretty desserts!

Rainbow Cake!

BKK trip (Jan 2013)

Before I went for our Taiwan trip, I went to Bangkok with another group of friends. We travelled from 17th to 20th January 2013, so I had about 2 days of rest before I flew to Taiwan. Travelling to Bangkok was quite an experience! 

We took a late afternoon flight, so we arrived at our hotel at around 11pm. We stayed in Grand Diamond Suites Hotel, which we chose because it is located right next to Platinum Mall. But in hindsight, we should have paid more to stay at the newer Glow Pratunam Hotel. Grand Diamond is a little old and creepy, we noticed that there was a strange hairbrush lying on the floor on our last day there. Thinking about the room gives me the creeps again!

Melange Cafe 米朗琪咖啡館 (Taipei)

Melange Cafe (米朗琪咖啡館) was the only cafe that we had planned to visit prior to the trip, for we had read many rave reviews about their waffles and desserts. We reached there at around 2pm and perhaps it was a mistake for us to visit them at the peak tea-time period. It was a good 90 minutes wait for the table!

When we arrived there, we took a queue number and were told about the 90mins wait. Resigning to our fate, we decided to wander around the streets and shops near the cafe. Fortunately, there are a few shops selling clothing and zakka items that entertained us for a bit. 

There are actually two branches along the lane and we were allocated to the main branch. If I'm not wrong, there is a minimum spending of NT100 each. Be sure to hang around the area when it is nearing your stipulated time as they will serve the next customer if you miss your turn.
