KITH CAFE + D'GOOD CAFE

When it comes to food places, I always get to decide the places to eat. (Or rather, that is the only thing I am good at among my groups of friends) So, celebrating two friends' birthdays at two different cafes.

If you followed my blog from the start, you would have known I have a REALLY CLOSE group of dancemates that I always go crazy with. This group accept me for who I am, tolerate all my craziness, concern for my well-being and most importantly, the ONLY bunch of people that I can open up myself to. (Opening up is quite a big deal for me) If you have not read the previous post, you can read it here.
And so, it's our yellow burger's birthday!! My crazy-along-with-me buddy, positivity motivator, supporter, listener, soulmate. Celebrating with a brunch date at Kith Cafe at Park Mall.

The second birthday post is dedicated to my dance idol who I never expected would turn out to be such good friend. Starting out as purely a dance idol who I always watch him dance from afar, to close buddy who we hang out for supper and events. Would have to say I was really shocked when I found out he was my dance i/c when we were doing a dance project together. No matter what, still thankful for that arrangement.

This is not in our orderlist, a complimentary dessert from the waiter when he saw me busy shooting the food away. Nice proportion of the cake & cream cheese, but could do away with the whipped cream on the top
A video of the cafe layout:
Went during lunch hour around 12.30pm & it's surprisingly not that crowded. Really love the simplicity of the design & ambience, makes me enjoy my food slowly with no pressure.

Knew about this chocolate place back in my JC days because my badminton coach was a crazy loyal fan of it.  Was introduced by him, & so in turn I introduced to my SoulBuddy who was craving for some sweet treats that particular day.
