I always tend to stuff myself with food whenever I come back to SG for my breaks. Tried controlling my diet this time around but clearly, that didn't go according to plan. Definitely a struggle living in a food haven like SG.. LOL
MEE POK.
Try being away from SG for over 3 months if you think I'm being too overexcited over a bowl of mee pok.
Da bao'ed (takeaway) for lunch the other day since I prefer to eat in the comfort of my own home.
Can't decide whether living in an area highly populated with good food is a blessing or not. hahah
Nam Nam Noodle Bar for lunch after a visit to the dermatologist the other day.
Beef Pho & their salad = PHO-tastic (sorry I just had to).

Had a quick lunch in town this afternoon with my mom & her friend today. I've been craving for Paradise Dynasty's noodles for too long so that's where we went!
FINALLY.
Ordered 2 trays of their famous XLB's as well. They're well known for their different flavored XLB's.
No pics though because the usual excuse - was too hungry to bother to whip out my phone.
If you like foie gras, you should definitely try their foie gras flavored XLB's.

If you're thinking of going down, just note that they don't accept bookings/reservations, only walk-ins.

Business Hours:

Of course, no matter how full one is, there is always still room for dessert. I actually have a separate compartment in my stomach for dessert alone ;)
I've been wanting to pay a visit to Paris Baguette Cafe, which is a famous cafe/bakery oringinally from Korea. Although my mom was in heels & hardly walks anywhere (case in point: she drives from ion to get to takashimaya), she relented & we walked to their Wisma Atria branch from ION to grab coffee & dessert!
Was rather impressed with the plush furnishing although the cafe is in the middle of the mall & is not enclosed.
Random pic while waiting for the food....
Ordered the strawberry cake (reminded me of the one at Antoinette) + Haha Family chocolate cake.
If I'm not mistaken, I think the HaHa Family cake is inspired by HaHa from Running Man? I don't know the correlation between HaHa and chocolate cake though so I could be totally wrong.. LOL.
& of course, a visit to Paris Baguette Cafe would not have been complete without buying what they're famous for - their Royal Pudding. Bought some to bring home & try!

TODAY'S OOTD
Today was definitely a dress-down kinda day.
First time wearing these Topshop shoes which I scored for just slightly over 15GBP (around $30) if I remember correctly? Even my mom told me not to lie after I told her they were from Topshop - she thought I had secretly bought this from Alexander Wang........ HAHA.
Just goes to show that high street items can sometimes rival their designer counterparts :)

Can't believe I've been back in SG for nearly 2 weeks already.
Time needs to slow down.
Not ready to go back to the UK / back to reality yet :(
