朋友们,你们好吗?

今天想说用华文来写博客,可能会帮助到我的华文程度。多写多讲华语应该会有些进步吧!用华语表达自己对我来说有时不是很自然,感到字卡在喉咙似的。简单的东西当然会,但比较少用的词汇就根本没听过也没用过,当然不熟啦~

但我觉得用华语表达自己,有时也有一点点的诗意,你觉得呢?

圣诞节将来临,你们期待吗?十二月是我最喜欢的月份,因为整个月都有假期啦,有圣诞节活动还有自己的生日。今年生日吃到海鲜自助餐,真幸福!你看看这雪蟹!

好久没去吃自助餐了!现在因为新冠病毒,食物是用点的,不能任意像平日自己拿。讲究卫生嘛。

朋友们也送来了卡片,冰淇凌和各种甜品蛋糕。真谢谢你们送来的惊喜!

我个人呢,给自己买了一个天蓝的iPad Air,想用来画画。(记得在IG跟随@chubbycat88哦) 

当我尽情投入一样东西时,会百分百地投入,觉得有一点不健康。所以还是刻出一些时间来做其他的爱好,比如看书,音乐。

这几天忙着忙着,突然发现2020年也快结束了。有什么感受?有点儿期待。希望明年会更好!

就先写到这里了,

Skye 


Hello!

It's been a while since we visited a cafe, and what more a newly opened one! Their grand opening was just two weeks ago. Thanks to my BF who found this place heehee.

We checked out Pint and Dine, in Kensington Square near Bartley MRT station. I have never been to Kensington Square haha! It's a small quiet building surrounded by private estates offering a mix of shops and services like infant care, a cake mould shop, bakeries, a bar, and pet services.


They have a nice and stylish space, all ready for Christmas! The black chairs were sleek and more importantly, comfortable. 

Enter the desserts!


This was a massive slice of Chocolate Truffle Cake with Salted Caramel! It's super tall and can be shared among 2-3 people haha. The caramel was luscious, and the cake was just moist enough. I have to say I prefer hearty cakes like these rather than mousse types like from Kki Sweets :X

Here's a close up after we demolished most of the cake haha. I love the crunchy rice/chocolate balls.  


The other desserts on display were a Honey Yuzu Cake, and a Lemon Meringue Tart. Maybe next time?

We ordered this Banana Walnut Crumble with Premium Vanilla Bean Gelato ($11.50)


I loved the crumbly crust! The premium vanilla gelato however really stole the show. I want a whole tub of it to myself. So smooth, milky and rich. 

Lastly, we ordered this plate of Curly Fries ($8). We were very pleased with it especially since it was ~free~. I posted a IG story for them as part of their promo to receive it. Gladly did so! xD

It's a massive plate but we managed to finish it. It ended up being our dinner lmao. You know how curly fries are usually very salty, a la Macdonalds? These were just nice, and not to mention, plenty crunchy! Great sharing plate for sure. I love how they had a special crescent moon bowl to encourage more photo taking opportunities. Smart.

They accept Cash and PayNow, but not credit cards. Seems like we are gonna be a digital nation! 

Special mention: friendly owners and a playlist that is more of my generation lmao (like Give Me Everything by Pitbull ft.Neyo. You know the song: Grab somebody sexy, tell them hey!)

It's a nice space to catch up with friends for desserts or for a nice cafe date. They also serve dishes like pasta but we haven't tried those haha.

Pint and Dine, we wish you all the best!

Hi friends!

Nope, I'm not dead, just been busy! In a blink of an eye, November flew by and now we're in December, my favourite month of the year!

Co Hai Banh Mi 
(Beach Road / Nicoll Highway MRT)

Enjoyed this hearty Co Hai Baguette and super powerful Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk on a rainy day.





We also had Vermicelli w BBQ pork! Refreshing bowl hehe. I loooove Viet bbq meat.


Kki Sweets

Our visit was made extra special because Jeanette Aw was right beside us :O There were also Taiwanese taitai YouTubers? seated opposite us. The ambience is very much relaxed and perfect for a girly chat over tea and cakes.

You have to make a booking ahead of time. This includes your cake orders. We had the Koide and J, two very popular flavours.

The cakes were more of the mousse variety rather than of cream and sponge. 

I loved the textures of 'J, the flower pot, which had a nice crunchy surprise~ Of course, it is also very beautiful.

Koide was gorgeous, fruity, and flirty. Fun flavours to enjoy!

We had a fun time sipping tea and having fancy cakes. It was a delightful experience for the palate. 




Chubbycat88 Updates

Chubbycat has been very busy! 

To be really honest, making any kind of art, music, illustration or dance etc really requires you to put yourself out there and be vulnerable. Many of the (cute aesthetic) artists on IG seem rather young and oozing with talent, and I think one way I get rid of any doubts is to really just keep it real and be thick skinned. Obviously there are tens of thousands of people out there with arguably better art, but I'm the only one doing art by me. So I'll keep that close to my heart and keep going on.

With every illustration I find myself learning new things about software, drawing and about myself. I'll challenge myself and see how far we can go! 

I joined a #DTIYS (Do This In Your Style) challenge and got to draw souffle pancakes. It really is a joy to combine two hobbies into one (food and cute things).


We've also hit our first 100 followers milestone! It has only been a week. :') Very grateful especially for friends who have been supporting the Christmas Postcards sale!

We are also now live on Shopee and Carousell!

Hahaha it's been really fun so far. A little bit stressful but we must take the bitter with the sweet. Wishing you a wonderful month to close the year!

Love,
Skye
