It seems that the queue at Nam Nam wouldn't be stopping so soon. I have been to Nam Nam many times but there is no need for me to wait in line as I don't mind sitting on counter seats or not so ideal tables. But do note that the queue can be quite long during peak hours.

Was there last week with my other half.

I ordered the Chicken Pho. it was my first time trying it. Everything is exactly the same with the beef one except it uses chicken breast pieces. I love the lemon which added extra sourish zest to the soup. The soup is not as tasty as the beef one but still comes off as light and sweet. I like to add some chilli oil to it and eat my chicken with the various sauces on the table the above is my other half's mix beef pho. It has the different parts like tendons and stomach. Sliced beef was fresh and not overly cooked. Don't wait too long to eat it because it will be quite tough. This soup is very nice ..sweeter than the chicken one. This is the 3 color dessert. it is actually much like our local chendol.

This outlet is very conveniently located at the basement food street of Bugis Junction. I have always love the selection at Jollibean and love the pancakes the most. They are unlike other similar ones with very thick layer of flour and very little filling.

I love the rolled one as seen here. Can you see that the red bean filling is almost oozing out of the roll? This is definitely value for money! This is only $1.20 if i am not wrong and I can't even finish it.. always eat it some and save half for later

Travelling 30 mins via public transport may seem like a short journey to some , but it does seem a tad far for me at times. I have been spoilt badly. Staying near town makes going places like Chua Chu Kang , Woodlands (you know, the far end of our island) seemed like eternity.

Comparatively, going to Bukit Timah that day seemed like a piece of cake...quite effortless The company and food were the draw! I was on my way to lunch and coffee with a dear friend. I really love the decor of this cafe.. The furniture used are all restored and you are able to purchase them too! You will be smitten by what this cafe has to offer, just like how my friend and I were!

The downside of this place is that it can get very noisy when it is packed. Also, the service staff may appear to be somewhat curt and 'cold' when you ask for food recommendations. We received a rather hostile vibe from her. Plus, it is after all a a cafe cum vintage fitting outfit, so there are not many tables available. You may have to use the big communal table (seems common these days at such cafes) so your heart to heart talk may be overheard by other table mates

But really, you will be won over by the vintage items they have stocked in the shop and those pretty tarts and cakes waiting for you in the display shelves!!

Sweet isn't it? This is the Mixed Fruit Tart. The tart base was a tad hard though. I love those peaks of the tart! This Passion Fruit Tart is not too sour. In love with the whole setting... am being transported to another realm

This hawker center is very crowded at all times. Lots of people like coming here for a meal in the morning before going for their workout at the bukit timah hills or before going to school and work There is a big wet market at the ground level too.. So yes.. this is the happy wanton noodles!

Tried this wanton mee many times and it remains one of the best I have ever eaten! It is the black sauce type... and I love it!! Not soggy and I like the amazing chilli too!

I had a take-away from this outlet. They have one of my favourite cakes! Here it is! This is the strawberry shortcake. Look at all the strawberries glistening in the light. Isn't it lovely?

I like their cakes as they use the freshest ingredients and not too sweet! The chiffon cake is very soft and light..cream is light and not too sweet too. Everything just melts in my mouth! Makes me crave for it this moment! You bet I will be trying more of their cakes!
