Please note that I did not eat both pastries in the same day. Despite my self-love on my rolls, I am trying to reduce them…so these 2 were eaten on separate days but I decided to post them in 1 posting since it is about Tiong Bahru Bakery. I have eaten an uber expensive sandwich...

Pocari Sweat Run 2013 – 10km done!
Despite the smile on my face, I was tired and a tad disappointed that I didn’t train harder for this run. Well, to be fair, I had a muscle strain which put me away from the gym for 2 weeks. This is my first 10km run after 2 or 3 years and I’m just glad...

Halia @ Raffles Hotel
They took away Seah Street Deli at Raffles Hotel and replaced it with Halia!! Can’t complain since I’m not a fan of Seah Street Deli nor have I eaten at Halia before so this was a nice place to try out with the family. Mum ordered a starter of roasted carrot soup with olive oil...
