Baker & Cook

Love quiet afternoons spent with Sissy exploring new brunch places.
Although most of the time, we tend to miss brunch timings because we hit the snooze button once too often.
Hahaha.
All day brunch places to recommend, anyone?

Had brunch at Baker & Cook a couple of weeks back and I didn't realise that I have not blogged about it.
Too many things to blog about and it slipped my mind!

Self shots in the car, hehe.
I realise that the lighting in the car is always awesome.
And I've been pretty obsessed into lipsticks lately.
Bought a whole lot of them!
This is what happens when a new obsession hits me.
Hahaha maybe I should blog about my haul?

I love the shade which I'm wearing in this picture,
makes me look at least 2 shades fairer than I really am!
Red lipsticks also make your teeth look whiter!

We were ogling at their pastry selection for the longest time,
but we ended up deciding to order main courses first and the pastries if we still have room for them later on.
We didn't have room for them, of course.
So we took away some for the office!

My very well done eggs benny!
Came with smoked salmon as well,
bonus points!
The only thing I wish could be changed though,
were that they came with muffins instead of the rock hard toasts.

Sissy's pancakes which she didn't take to very well because it came with greek yoghurt instead of the usual whipped cream or ice cream.
The pancakes were pretty fluffy though!

FUNNY FACES GALORE!
Hahahaha.
I find it super amusing to make funny faces,
beats having to look good all the time.

Outfit of the day:
Upcoming tux collar romper on TTR,
bag from Alexander Wang,
flats from Zara.

Quite proud of this romper because I drew the design from scratch.
Heh.
We also did this in prints but I'm not revealing which print we picked yet.
But it's totally adorable!
The tuxedo collar design is really cute too, isn't it?

We went wild with rompers last month so you need to be prepared to see a lot of them coming up soon on TTR.
You have been warned.
Bwahaha.
I don't find it a problem at all because I love rompers.
They are perfect for those 'omg I have so many clothes but I don't know what to wear??!!' days.


Anyway, I went for my braces appointment last Friday.
And my orthodontist told me that I can take them off in 5-6 months' time!
Happy like mad.
She also told me to go for my appointments every 3 weeks so that the process can be even shorter.
Cross your fingers for me please!

The TTR girls also self-organised a Korean BBQ night last Friday.
I don't get the whole Kpop thing but I quite like Korean food myself.

Outfit of the day:
Upcoming 2 tiered keyhole top on TTR,
Daisy Dukes Lace Shorts from TTR,
bag from Bricks and Bolsas,
flats from Zara.

Posted this outfit on my Instagram and got quite a few of you asking when we would be launching this.
Didn't plan to launch it so soon but since you asked...
I'll try my best to schedule it in as soon as I can!
:)

Picked this as my BBQ buffet outfit because I foresee that I will be eating quite a lot.
(Duh right, BUFFET.)
And I have learnt my lesson from the previous feasts I had while wearing tight fitting outfits.
Hahaha.
This light and airy top was just perfect because I didn't want to wear a top that would make me too warm while we barbeque the food.

No photos of the girls because I know they don't feel comfortable having their faces appear on my blog.
Heh.

Anyway, I thought I would never say this...
BUT I WANNA GO BACK FOR THIS SOON!
We only paid around $28 per person after service charge and gst and I thought it was really value for money.
I hardly ever like the variety of offerings from BBQ buffets so I went with low expectations.
But it turned out that the seasoned chicken (both spicy and garlic honey) was really good!!!
So good that I didn't want to touch the pork and beef or anything else after I tried it.
Extremely tender, well seasoned and just super flavourful!
Kept all my stomach space for the chicken and their kimchi which was surprisingly decent as well.
I rarely eat chicken when it comes to steamboat/BBQ by the way.
That ought to give you an idea of how awesome it is!

I'm still craving for it right now as I type away.

Enough of tempting you,
go try it out yourselves!
Just be prepared to be all smelly after the BBQ.
Your clothes and your hair and everything else on you will reek of BBQ.

We went for Wolverine after dinner,
hopefully the people in the theatre didn't find us smelly
Anyway if they did,
too bad.
LOL.

The place is really huge but even so,
it got filled up really quickly.
Probably also because it was a Friday night!
Anyway, we were smart enough to make reservations so we didn't have to wait.

Would advice you to do the same because you will have a REALLY long wait if you don't.
It's a buffet so everyone will probably want to eat as much as they can.

Hahaha.


Can't wait to go back!!!

On a side note,
the $500 given by the government is finally in!
Hehehe.
Guess who's going shopping tomorrow?
