Yes.  I have been occupied with other activities recently.  It has been a week ... or more .. since my last posting.  

Anyway, today lunch was quite late.  A long black to refresh myself after a busy morning.

And a plate of spaghetti bolognaise.  Both at Scholar's Inn.

Along the years, I've learnt to get to know coffee better.  I still however, prefer black over latte ;-)  

When it comes to beans, I have learnt to appreciate medium roast better than dark.

Caffeine or decaff, it doesn't matter to me coz coffee doesn't prevent me from sleeping.  What I like most about my coffee, is its soothing aroma ...

When I think of coffee, my thoughts always goes back to this jar of home made rainbow cake.  A good friend of mine had always kept me fully supplied with her delicious cake, and this was my favorite.  I miss you very much my dear friend.  You have been a very good person.  May our Maker place you in heaven and may we meet again there.

This simple plate brings joy to me.  All my favourite snack in one dish.

Smoked salmon - the main source of protein.  Also said to be rich in omega-3 fat that can help to lower my cholestrol.

Camembert - it's my weakness ... Yes, 45% fat ... I heard you.  But this smooth and creamy cheese with fungus is the best.  It's runny inside ... just like that runny molten chocolate souffle  ...

Crackers - I prefer them anytime to bread.

And of course buttercrunch lettuce.  The salad I like most.

We went coffee hunting on our last trip to Singapore.  We arrived at Tyrwhitt Road looking for what people told us, a coffee shop that doesn't look like a coffee shop.  Hmmmm ....

Well, we got the address right ...  So where is this shop?

They said it's a hardware shop.  Ok.  Found it!

Now ... how do we get in??

Oh!  That entrance by the side.  Okay ....

Beans of the day.  
We went for Las Brumas from El Salvador.

 

Interesting place to drink good coffee.  They roast their own coffee too here.

This is my cup of coffee.  

I like how they present their menu.

The barista is preparing the coffee.

 They have a sister shop in Bangsar which is very cosy and the staff are very friendly.  We'll talk about it in another posting okay?

Muesli and kiwi yogurt for breakfast.

When you are in a hurry, you just grab what you can ...

It's barbecue night!

After a tiring week, we all decided that we deserve to some steaks.  So voila! We got our meat together and this was what happened ...

Before ...

After!

With some juicy sausages ...

Sirloin on the grill ...

Oh yes ... let's not forget our vege ...

And onions which were later caramelized ....

This one is for the road! :D

Good night!

I have sweet tooth this very instant ... so what should I try ....

Sticky rice with mango at Trumpet Oasis!

And also their Red ruby with jack fruit.

When you are in Singapore, what do you eat?

Yes ... laksa Singapore of course! Rice noodles soaked in spicy rich and creamy coconut milk gravy.

Well ... we also tried other food.  This is kacang pool aka kidney beans in yummylicious gravy ....  It goes very well with the french baguette.

The mee jawa comes in very thick savoury dried shrimp gravy.  

For our next trip we will try their famous beriyani and murtabak....

It was Long Black and walnut carrot cake at Cafe Societe Publika last week.

I personally think that black coffee goes well with anything .... even cheesy egg in avocado.

What say you?
