[ADV] untohimlj

It's been really long since I went to church. I miss church, the pastors, and some of my friends there. There were a a few reasons that made me decided to stop going to church. It definitely wasn't the church's fault, but maybe I found out do not know the people there as much as I thought I knew.

I'm still thankful for how God help me in one way or another during the time where I didn't attend church. It's not as if He didn't love me when I stopped attending church/attended other churches. I'm also thankful to those who invited me to their churches to try out when they knew I stopped church. They tried to pull me back to God by going to different churches with me, sharing their revelations with me, and even doing Quiet Time with me. I would still hope to go back to the Place where many knowledge were taught to me. Maybe that day will come soon? Or even later?

Review: BAROSSA

Have you heard of BAROSSA? I've been there 2 consecutive days last month. I went to the one at Esplanade first because I was feeling down and wanted to go somewhere so decided to go there. I went for a dessert because a dessert always solve female's problem, somehow, lol.

This Australian-inspired bar and restaurant features all time favourites from down under. Think chilli mussels with white wine sauce, beer battered fish & chips, seared pacific scallop with pancetta and steaks. Flowing from the beer taps are handcrafted lagers and ales from Archipelago Brewery.


This is an Australian-inspired restaurant and bar where 'outback meets chick'. The Long Bar was designed for you to hang-out with your buddies or BFFs to enjoy a range of craft beers by Archipelago Brewery. The bar also boasts a range of new world wines and champagnes, and your favourite shooters, Martinis and Mojitos.

It's unpretentious, laid-back and rustic ambience makes it the perfect place to chill out after a hard day's work and tuck in hearty fusion Australian fare created only with the freshest Australian seafood and premium grades of Australian beef.

Signature dishes like the Australian Black Angus Dry-Aged 30 Days Sirloin, Char Grilled Beef Patty with Crispy Bacon, Eggs and Roasted Beetroot topped with Herbed Mayonnaise, and Oven-baked Whole Fish are some of the comfort food you wouldn't want to miss.


Cranberry & Grapefruit (S$6)


Eton Mess (S$10)
Traditional English dessert with a mixture of Summer Berries, Meringue and Sweet Cream

First time trying a dessert like this, it was a good experience for me. The meringue was really yum yum, and even though I'm not a fan of berries but I must say that the berries they served is really super fresh. Perfect dessert after a long day of school/work for everyone.



Wild Wild West (S$24)
Char Grilled Beef Patty with Crispy Bacon, Egg and Roasted Beetroot topped with Basil Pesto with Herbed Mayonnaise

What a filling item this is! The portion is really generous as you can see from my picture above. I shared this with Yee Hwee, and both of us were really full by just having half of the portion. I must say again, the portion is really G-E-N-E-R-O-U-S! Do bring a friend along if you want to try this. I seriously doubt anyone can finish this alone unless you're starving or what la hahha.


Truffle Fries (S$10)


Lime (S$6)

Review: The Flying Squirrel

I've heard of The Flying Squirrel a number of times and I finally got to try it a month ago.


It's not easy to get to this place and it can be a challenge to get to this restaurant because it's not facing the road like all of the other shops along Amoy Street. Instead, you have to turn into a lane and there it is! Look out for The Flying Squirrel signboard when you're walking along Amoy Street because you can easily missed the entrance which is in a lane. The space is narrow but cosy.



And finally, I found the place after walking past the lane which I'm suppose to turn at several times. The Flying Squirrel serves Japanese-inspired cuisine and fusion dishes. With friendly and prompt staffs, this modern Japanese restaurant in a Western setting is a great place to dine and chill out with good company of friends and colleagues.


Carrot Cake (S$8)

It's quite filling for a cake that's not very big. 



Orange juice (S$5)

Review: Lola's Cafe

Been wanting to many reviews since last year but I never got the chance to. I'm going to post 5 reviews by today (hopefully) because I really have too many overdued posts which I wanted to do. I want to finish posting all my overdued posts asap so that my future posts that you will see will not be a overdued one.

Visited Lola's Cafe for the second time with Bianca, Mandy and Si Jie last month for their dinner. The first time I went was for their breakfast with Meihui. The third/next visit will definitely be for their brunch.


When Lola's Cafe was first conceptualized, there was one binding thought that was not to be compromised. Lola's was going to be a playful and casual environment where you could get honest, unpretentious comfort fare in the company of great friends.

We insist to serve only the food and drinks made with great love because food served from the heart is most delicious.

At Lola's you don't have to worry about which fork or knife to use, we serve heartwarming comfort fare that could be enjoyed with your fingers (we provide napkins).

Kick start your day with a hearty Full Monty Breakfast or Avocado Eggs Benedict and wind down after a hard day's work with delicious dinner dishes such as the Slow-braised Pork Goulash and Pan-Fried Duck Leg with Creamy Mash.

A meal at Lola's is incomplete without having one of our carefully crafted coffee and hand-made desserts.



Pacific Dory Burger with Dill Tatare (S$15)
Crispy Pacific Dory, Lettuce, Dill Tartare Sauce, Cheese, Straight-cut Potato Fries

Their fish was a little overcooked upon my visit, and I was definitely expecting more. They were very generous with the fries though.


Chicken Harrisa Bolognese (S$14)
Minced Chicken Sausage, Onions, Garlic, Tomato, Herbs and Spices

Si Jie had this, and I tried a little. It was good because they were really generous with the amount of fillings added to it. 


Bacon and Mushroom Spaghetti in Truffle Cream Sauce (SS14)
Pork Bacons, Swiss White Mushroom, Truffle Oil, Parmesan Cheese, Cream

I wanted to order this initially because it sounded really appealing, but when I saw the word 'truffle' in the menu, I changed my idea because I really have no idea how to appreciate the truffle taste which most of my friends love. I tried when Mandy ordered this, hoping the truffle taste to not be as strong as what I expected and I was wrong. But, I believe this definitely is a good pasta to all of you who is a fan of truffle items.


Nacho Cheese Fries (S$8)
Fries, Cheese Sauce, Spices

Bianca ordered this because she would be joining her family for dinner after our cafe date. They are super generous with the amount of fries they served. The nacho flavor was just nice and you can order this if you are looking for a side to share among your friends.



Food menu

Do take note that their brunch are only available from 10am-3pm and their dinner are only avaiable from 6pm-10pm!



Beverage menu


 Didn't take much picture of their interior because it was really crowded when I was there.



We ended our cafe date by taking some pictures.. Can't wait for the next meetup with them (:
