4 days had passed by too quickly, there wasn't enough time to just kickback and relax as we were on-the-go most the time.. My ideal holiday is as simple as it gets, free and easy days just discovering whatever that comes my way, enjoying the change of atmosphere and getting away from reality (that's most important). So, our last day was just filled with eating and some last minute shopping along Orchard Road going from mall to mall (duh... that's what Singapore is all about anyway :P).
Orchard Gateway @ Orchard Road
A new mall is like music to my ears! Yes, Orchard Gateway at that time had just opened, damn ngam just in time for my visit! I was really surprised by the unique range of retail outlet, not your typical brands like TOPSHOP and such, very niche and fresh in today's trends!
Fascinating architecture, feels like i'm at a park or playground!
fake grass everywhere!
Supply & Demand @ Orchard Gateway, Lvl 2
We spotted this cozy looking cafe which seemed promising as there was a good crowd lunching away. Supply and Demand is an italian southeast asian bistro that basically serves italian food with a twist of asian taste. And what attracts customers more than a lovely rustic ambience (sorry to disappoint you but the plants around are fake) and some good sunlight (with good lighting, comes better looking pictures.. abuden?)! Perfect place for casual dates and gatherings :)
They serve tea by Tea Forté, a global luxury tea brand and i must say it's definitely up to standard! Its aroma and most importantly the depth in flavor is strong. If you love fruity teas, you'll go crazy because they have a really wide selection of interesting mixes! Yang bought some back for my mommy, so sweet of him :)
and... food time! We didn't order too much because lunch wasn't supposed to end just yet..
Arrabbiata Spaghetti
hungry till the tongue can stick out.. my my..
another one! ƪ(ړײ)ƪ
ahh.. food is getting cold!
The best prop for an asian is Food, food and just FOOD!
Grilled Chicken with Mash, now this tastes as good as it looks!
Our jalan-ing around the mall continues! Sorry there are not many pictures of the shops we entered, was very pre-occupied viewing stuff!
Came across this multi-brand concept store called Sects Shop located on level 4. Their fashion is over the edge, a lot of punkish and goth items as well! The girls section is very limited so that's a bit sad.. if you're into caps and other swagger headwear you probably should check this place out because they've got a good range!
Spot Min purchasing..
us.. well let us take a Welfie!
WOODWOULD @ Mandarin Gallery
This shop never fails to bring a smile to my face, the colors and deco just brings everything to life! They sell very cute random nicknack from all over the world, a mixture of the past and present! A perfect place to find a gift for somebody :)
We walked from the tail of orchard road to its head where ION Mall is located and guess what? It was time for more food!
Our last stop was Bécasse Bakery @ ION Mall located on the 4th floor. This Australian bakery and was brought in by jones the grocer. They are known for its French pastries by artisan bakers.
Continuation of lunch...
waitress mixing my Mixed Berry Tea, if you're a berry lover like me you must order this!
Mixed Berried French Crepes (with honey and crème fraiche)
My idea of a perfect crepe! Look at the generous amount of fresh raspberry puree!
Banana Tart with Salted Peanut Brittle
I need to go back for this again! You probably would need to share this with someone who shares that same undying love for banana+peanut butter. The crunchy peanut brittle pieces on the top (sweet and salty) and soft, banana cream hiding underneath.
Wagyu Foie Gras Burger
This beats the one at DB Bistro flat, plus so much cheaper! Oozing with beefy goodness, i know the pictures don't do any justice to it (i mean look at the fork omg!!) but oh well.. the person taking it couldn't wait to eat -.-' that an easy guess!
Yang and I walked back to the condo and thankfully for good weather, it was a pleasant stroll down Orchard Road. Got back in 20 minutes :)
Here's more pictures before leaving the house earlier in the day!
Thank you Min for being an amazing host and friend :) Going on this trip gave me the chance to make new friends, of course at first we were in our shy modes but that couldn't continue on for too long, after a while everyone just broke through those shy walls and had a blast! Even though it was just a few days of time spent together, friendships were discovered.
Goodbye luxury.
As much as he gets on my nerves at times (or vice versa), he has always been there for me, always so considerate and helpful in many ways. I'll always treasure the friendship we've built through these years. Thank you for taking good care of me, not only during this trip but like all the time! Love you much :)
Home.
Hope you guys enjoyed reading about my trip to Singapore! Will continue blogging about my Taiwan trip soon, there are so many pictures! So be patient ok? :D
