[Life] Dinner at Cocotte, Wanderlust Hotel

Went to Cocotte @ Wanderlust Hotel for dinner. It's a french restaurant. The hotel design is lovely and the food is great! =) The only part that's not so great is its location- it's near to Little India, thus very crowded and hard to find a parking space. Luckily, they provide complimentary valet service (don't get cheated by the uncle if he asked for 5 bucks service charge! it's absolutely FREE) 

The reception

 A big round table that can sit at least 10. Good for gathering.

 Weekly promotion/special is shown on the board.

Wine- essential for French dinner?

The most important part in every meal- dessert!

Resting area beside the restaurant::

The meal:: 

Cute petite french bread

 Soup which I forgot the name

 Poulet (chicken) with creamy sauce, crispy potato and baked broccoli

Tender fish with fresh veg

Pork with very juicy meat

AND dessert!! 

Citron tart

Apple Strudel 

Verdict:: Great meal. Definitely worth going back =)

[Outing] Saint Marc Cafe- Chococro

Finally have time to go out with Mr C =)

What I wore:

Cat dress from MDS

Electric blue belt from Taiwan WuFenPu

Sling bag from Charles & Keith

Neon Pink sneakers from Converse

Went to the long-awaited St. Marc Cafe at Vivo for my チョコクロ (Chococro)! I tried it once and have been wanting to go back to have another one! and another one! and another one! =p

It is their signature product. I can't describe it any better than the the description found on their Facebook page, so here it goes- 'CHOCOCRO is freshly baked croissant with crispy golden brown layers,soft and tender inside with rich buttery flavor, and filled with premium bitter chocolate that will melt in your mouth'. 

 Other than chococro, the cafe also offers quite a wide range of breads and sandwiches.

And like most Japanese cafe, parfait, matcha, azuki (red bean) are the must-have. Look at how they name the ice-cream!! Geisha, golden nugget and madonna??? Very fancy right? =D

Ta-dah! Star of the day!

I tried chococro with dark chocolate the other time and Mr C recommended daifuku chococro (seasonal item), so I decided to go for it. It's filled with chocolate, azuki beans and mochi (rice cake). It's less sweet compared to the normal chococro and more chewy as there's mochi inside. But I guess I still prefer the old good chococro. Maybe I have super sweet tooth? o.O

 We also ordered iced royal milk tea to go with the chococro. The fragrance of the milk makes the drinks tastes different from the usual milk tea =)

 Me, playing with the mirror =x

The very FIRST time Mr C has suggested to take a picture of me (alone)!

To repay his kindness, I took a picture of him posing similarly to my pose. Haha

AND!!!

I just found out that there's STRAWBERRY DAIFUKU CHOCOCRO in Japan!! Why we don't have it here!? Or I've missed the season? *sob sob.. Can anyone ask them to bring it in?? =((

[Outing] Ann Siang Hill- Kki cafe (ケーキ)

It's a rare day whereby Mr.C and I do not need to work (He works on weekdays and I work on weekends for now) so we tried to 'explore' Singapore a bit by randomly picked a place that we've never been before. As I remembered some nice photos posted by a friend on Facebook, we decided to go to Ann Siang Hill- a small hill (really small) near Chinatown which is now full of quirky shops and newly open 'hidden' cafes. So if you're looking for something unique such as handmade accessories, retro decorations, clothes that are different from your friends who wear mainstream labels or even drinks and pastries that are different from Starbucks, here's the place. 

I didn't take a lot of photos (almost all are in the cafe that we patronized) as it's an impromptu trip thus we didn't bring along the bulky camera. All photos are taken by phone.

What I wore today::

'Tutu' one-piece (Lowrys Farm)

Denim Jacket (New Look)

Floral Shorts (MDS)

Sling Bag (Charles & Keith)

Gold Glitter Flats (MyeongDong,Korea)

Necklace (Diva)

Ann Siang Hill

 

 The cafe that we patronized- Kki (pronounced as 'cake', literally means cake in Japanese) 

Love their logo designs- black & white with little colors used to make the designs look simple yet the combinations of fonts and shapes create a childlike feel yet it's not too kiddish.

Other than serving awesome-looking cakes (which I forgot to take photos =x) and beverages , they also sell quirky items from rare coffee table books (which I want to bring home so BADLY!!) to handmade accessories to one of a kind tableware.

Me and our order- Raspberry dark chocolate mousse with Iced Latte.

Only tried out one type of cake as Mr.C is a cake hater and there's no much of choice when comes to caffeinated drinks.

Note to myself: please do something to the hair and the puffy face...

 A close-up of my beloved mousse. 

I can't deny that I ordered out of its look in the first place **guilty..

 BUT it doesn't only look great, it tastes great as well! =D

Rich dark chocolate combined with slightly sour raspberry in the middle of the mousse to ensure you that you won't get sick of it after the first few bites =)

Iced latte- a so-so

Overall, the ambience and the cake are good for dating or for girls' outing but the lack of choice of drinks is such a pity.

Last but not least, let me show off my Hello Kitty Tissue!! hehe =P

I believe that small little things one uses will affect his/her mood in daily life so I always use some cute stuff to keep myself happy all day. Just can't imagine how I will feel if my bag is full of ugly stuff.. How about you?
