Ramen Hopping - Sanpoutei Ramen

Went Ramen Hopping (or so we call it since we go visit random ramen shops every time during the holidays) with bestie at holland. It was the newly opened ramen shop; Sanpoutei Ramen (at time time we visit it was newly opened).

There are two ramen shop that I know of in Holland. The other one is Yoshimaru Ramen bar. Even though Sanpoutei Ramen has a lot more choices, I still think that Yoshimaru Ramen bar is a lot nicer. The noodles are especially nice there. 

PS: The matcha ice cream was awesome, but small.

Ice Skating - Kallang

Went Ice Skating with sister and online friend at Kallang Leisure Park, because the one at Jcube was close for some hockey game.

Some awkward moment with online friend, even though it's the 2nd time meeting him. Had a very fun time skating, as usual, and finally I'm able to skate without holding onto something or someone. Feel like going again before the school holidays end.

Provence & Starbucks

Grabbed Starbucks from Holland; sister's treat. Had Green tea cream, tall. The bread from Provence are awesome, totally feel that everyone should go try at least once. First time trying to chocolate cornet from there, really nice. They used dark chocolate, which compliments the sweet bread.

Yoshimaru Ramen Bar

Went to holland V for Ramen with bestie, (she's ramen obsessed). I had this Spicy Miso Ramen.

I also think that it's never true ramen without the egg (especially hate those over cooked ones, or those that don't even give egg).

Love the noodle. Must try ramen.

Dessert

Had matcha green tea ice cream for dessert. It is plain matcha green tea ice cream (with lots of sugar), and Shirotama (I think that's what it's called), topped with red bean paste. Very classical japanese dessert. But I still prefer the ramen play ice cream, because it's less sweet.

Plain Vanilla

After which, we went to buy cupcakes from Plain Vanilla.

It comes is this gorgeous box, tied with twine, very classical and vintage look. it cost $3.50 per cupcake. I bought the Earl Grey lavender and cookies and cream flavor. Not a big fan of cupcakes, and the only other cupcake I have actually eaten from is from Twelve Cupcakes. 

I must say the cream / icing is really sweet, so I didn't eat it. The base is quite nice; though the earl grey flavor lacked the fragrance and taste of earl gray (I love tea), and the cookies and cream one tasted more like brownie. Though compared to Twelve cupcakes, I would say Twelve cupcakes one was more moist. (not sure if putting it in the fridge had any effect on this).

Guardian - One Day Sale

Lastly we went to guardian to buy some... stuff, because there was a one day sale going on. 

bought toner (or lotion) from Habo Labo, whitening lotion from vaseline and baby lips (lip balm) from maybelline.

93°C Bean and Leaf - Deco

Went to this cafe beside Coffee Bean at holland to meet with my friend for her birthday. Honestly, it looks a lot like coffee bean. But I loved the deco. The walls and the lights were surrounded by these fake plants. And the settings were just really cosy (the first picture has no filter). Me and by friend decided to choose a mini corner with the sofa seats.

93°C Bean and Leaf - Lemon Meringue

Honestly think that this was totally better than carpenters and cooks. I ordered a tart and tea set, and it tasted awesome.

93°C Bean and Leaf - Waffles

Friend ordered gelato with waffles. According to her, not that fantastic, and from the looks of it, the one in my school looks a lot nicer.

Breakfast

Had omelette meal for breakfast together with cherry blossom tea. First time trying this tea. Really nice and light smell with a light taste. Taste a little sweet at first then bitter. The omelette is fried with mushroom, tomatoes and bacon. Inside there is cheese. Really nice combination, especially the cheese.

East Coast Park - Beach

Went to the Beach after there at East Coast Park. Just sat down with my sister as my cousin went to play with the sand. My grandpa was walking here and there taking pictures with his Nikon D60 camera since we don't use that camera a lot.

Took a little bit of pictures. Really love the first two pictures, where the light from the sun is reflected on the water. This place kind of brings back memories since it had been a while since we last went to the beach at east coast.

Snapped a picture of my sandals. The toe colours are from Butter London in 'All Hail the Queen'.

Coffee Bean

Went to Coffee Bean at Hollan Rd for breakfast with my grand parents and my cousin. Had this pancake set. Came together with the honey and tea (I chose breakfast tea). The strawberry with whipped cream was an awesome combination. Really nice.

Botanical Garden

We went to Botanical Gardens next. Which was probably the last place I wanted to go since I wore my flip flops out. (I didn't receive any warning about walking). Spotted this at the pond area. Being the same old naive me, I thought those were real. Till my sister told me they weren't.

Botanical Garden

A White Swan I took. The feathers looked so soft! I felt like touching it.

Botanical Garden

Next came the turtle. There were lots of turtle there. Found one swimming near me with it's head sticking out so I took a shot. 

Botanical Garden

Walked around and saw this huge.... I don't know what you call this. But it's probably for Feng Shui. Had one mini one in my house (brought back home by my dad).

Botanical Garden

Took a few shots of the.... White thing (White house is what I call it. But I don't really know the real name for this). The one just above is with the instagram effects.

Overall I was just kind of glad that I did not have any blisters from walking in flip flops. But I was tired from all the mosquito bites that only seemed to bother me and not my sister, my grand parents or my little cousin. 

Saw a ton of dogs there. While walking from the car park, a doggie came from behind me, which totally gave me a huge shock (since I was afraid of dogs, but I do find most of them cute.). My grand parents should have warned me that we were going to the botanical garden. Because I would have wore proper sandals, and most probably insect repellent.
