THE GARDEN SLUG

Feel that working on a Saturday is such a bummer? Well, I like to think that I get to eat good food with my soul-buddy after that. So yup, today is another working Saturday for us and off we go to another cafe-hunt.

Situated along a quiet road, would recommend people to drive if they want to visit the cafe some day. I was actually quite surprised that the cafe is not really crowded at 2pm on a weekend. Good thing for us, we got our seat immediately when we stepped in.

Pear stewed in spiced red wine, topped with cream cheese, walnut & gelato

Oozing with light yoghurt cream cheese frosting. Six pastel layers gently dyed with puree of Blackberry, Blueberry, Matcha, Carrot, Yolk & Beets forming the rainbow colours

(From the 'Today Special' menu as well. A little pricey for a slice of cake but a healthier choice of all rainbow cakes because they use natural colour instead of food colouring)

There are many other interesting food on the menu that caught our attention, definitely a cafe I would want to visit again.

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.
