Honeydew Sago (5/5)

While my friend was queuing for desserts, I was deeply amused by the uncle at the stall whose actions fit to the techno music that was playing. His actions all got tempo! Plus, his stall plays Hokkien songs, perfect for my friend who loves Hokkien songs. Haha!

Qing Tian's Honeydew Sago is much sweeter and ..... You know it's really good when we finished everything and what left us is a SHIOK feeling. I bet the rest of the desserts are equally nice, if not why got long queue!!!

My friend and I decided to have lunch at Next Door Deli on a Sunday afternoon. We reached there pretty late, but because they were having a 20% discount for their Tea Time orders from 2pm to 5pm, we were in for a treat!

Trying to split the bill amongst yourselves? Save the hassle as you pay individually when you collect your food. Yes, it is self service and therefore no service charge! Plus, there are no phoney GST charges, which means what you see is what you pay. ^.^Organic Spagehetti with Meatballs - $7.80 (4/5)

The highlight of the dish is probably the meatballs. Trust me, they are not your typical IKEA meatballs. These are infused with diced carrots and celery, and they tasted really organic. I would definitely go back for their meatballs if I wasn't living so far away!Crispy Grilled Chicken Steak - $7.80 (4/5)

It seems to me that they also made the mashed potato themselves. I didn't expect the grilled chicken to be that tender and juicy. And would you believe it, it wasn't even oily! Great for health conscious people, like me. Margarita Chiffon Cake - $2.20 (4/5)

This is the highly raved dessert at Next Door Deli. Initially, I had very low expectation of the cake because it looked plain and similar to pandan cake.

But then again, never judge a book by its cover! After we were done drizzling the lime-infused tequila over the cake and sprinkling it with sea salt, the Margarita Chiffon Cake was ready to be savored! This is one of those things that made the both us go "mmmmm" as the delightful taste came as a surprise.

Enough said, this is a must try!Sea Salt Brownie Popsicle with Vanilla Ice Cream - $2.90 (3/5)

As good as it may seem to be, the brownie was actually rather dry and both of us didn't like it at all.

Both of us agreed that the staff are really efficient and helpful! One of them even came up to have a small chat with us and it wasn't even awkward. Guess that's the perk of eating in a neighborhood huh. And guess what, Pine Garden Bakery is just next door! The cakes on display look really gooooood.

Next Door Deli is a pretty good place for meals that are worth your every penny.

While I was researching on how to get to the internship company which I was suppose to have interview with, I was thrilled to know that Grin Affair is in close vicinity!

Grin Affair specializes in jar cakes and the first time I had some was on my 20th birthday this year. Glenn knows that I have been wanting to try their cakes so he surprised me with two jars that day! <3

He bought me Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut flavors. But I kinda forgot how they taste like so I decided to pop by Grin Affair after my internship interview! I was a little too early when I reached (about 11am) because they only open for business at 12 noon. But I must be in luck that day because Grin Affair opened (while I was still lingering around and waiting for my bus) shortly after! First customer of the day is me. YAY!Grin Affair promotes recycling so you are more than encouraged to return your jar to get a ticket! You can accumulate your tickets and redeem those items. Other than the jar, the string can also be reused. Check out these nice packaging for the jar lids!Dark Chocolate - $5.50 (4.5/5)

Grin Affair only accepts cash so I put together all the loose change I had and bought a jar. It was a treat to myself after my internship interview, even though Glenn said I should only celebrate after I am being accepted into any of the companies. Haha! Ok la I admit, I just want to eat. No other reasons.I thought the amount of sea salt dulce de leche was just nice and I was literally scraping the dark chocolate mousse down to its last bit. Mmmm so goooooood. I'll pop by again soon to try other flavors!

After a day of shopping at Bugis, we were contemplating between Porn's and Itacho Sushi for dinner. Decided on Porn's!Cha Yen - $3.90 (4/5)

So for the iced lemon tea lovers, this iced tea is a milk tea, not lemon tea. The tea is much sweeter than our standard milk tea, so people with a sweet tooth would probably find this to their liking.Tom Yum Gai - $8.90 (5/5)

Looks like some herbal chicken soup, no? It doesn't look spicy at all, right? Don't judge a soup by its colour! Those with a low tolerance for spicy food will definitely miss out on this awesome soup. This soup is a flavour burst! Sour when you first taste it, sweet after the sourness subsides, then the spicy-ness kicks in.Pad Thai Talay - $10.90 (4.5/5)

DIY Pad Thai! Don't like spicy? Like spicy? Don't like peanuts? Like peanut? Add in your preferred amounts. The Pad Thai is light and not oily, which is how a Pad Thai should beGreen Curry with Chicken (Gang Kaew Gai) - $10.90 (5/5)

The tender slices of chicken that came with it were succulent and the brinjal seems to have absorbed the sweetness of the curry and were very soft and juicy. The curry was quite thick, but as the dish got colder, it got a wee bit watery. No issues there though, still as delicious, especially when paired with rice.

Despite the fact that the restaurant was almost full, and there were only 3 waiters, the service was very prompt and our food arrived in less than 20 minutes from the time we ordered. Porn's is definitely worth the try!

I was supposed to meet Vanessa and Yong Lin for brunch at Rider's Cafe but (I woke up late) we had a change of plans and decided to meet for desserts at The Fabulous Baker Boy instead. Expect to dine al fresco style because there are only 3 counter seats indoors. Initially, we were afraid that it would be warm but it turned out to be quite cooling. Hurray!Just look at all those cakes on the cake stands. So tempting! FYI, these were not all that they were serving, there were some more cakes in the fridge so do check out their fridge as well when you are there!Big Lub's Carrot Cake - can't remember the price

This was our favourite. I like how it is full of raisins, dried fruits and nuts! It is like eating an energy bar but a moist cake version. I thought everything, from the coconut slices to the cream cheese frosting was just nice and complement each other so well. Green Tea Cake with Almond Praline - $7.50

The green tea butter cream was so good that Yong Lin couldn't stop eating it and the butter torte was so fluffly! Ab Fab Red Velvet Cake - $8.50

I would say that their red velvet cake hit the spot but Vanessa and Yong Lin think otherwise. They commented that the cake tastes normal to them. Then again, it is a personal preference.

I wouldn't mind going back again for their cakes or even try their lunch/dinner menu items. The place is pretty laid back and good for catching up with friends over delectable desserts.
