Posted on January 12, 2013 by bookjunkie

I know I should have just stuck to the Earl Grey tea, but everything here is just so tempting. How can you not try the parfaits (including jello like pudding, cornflakes and pieces of cake too) or the buns? It … Continue reading →

St Marc Cafe: Strawberry Milk Parfait

Posted on December 22, 2012 by bookjunkie

I see myself frequenting St Marc a lot. Well if it’s not too crowded. I love their parfaits. The Yuzu tea was way too sweet (it’s Yuzu jam with hot water added) but at least there is free chilled water … Continue reading →

Costa Coffee at Vivo

Posted on December 20, 2012 by bookjunkie

Now that St Marc has opened I don’t think I’ll be returning to Costa (also new) unless St Marc is too packed. Prefer the offerings there. Although to be fair I had tea at Costa instead of trying the coffee. … Continue reading →

Paul: Improved Service

Posted on December 12, 2012 by bookjunkie

The service at Paul (Ngee Ann City) has improved tremendously. There’s a lady there who reminds me of my secondary school English teacher. She is so polite and attentive and I think they should totally reward her for being such … Continue reading →

Posted on October 18, 2012 by bookjunkie

Blogged about my latest visit to Wimbly Lu at White As Milk. I didn’t dare try the spicy Mayan chocolate but maybe one day I should. I would come here more if it wasn’t always so packed. It’s much nicer … Continue reading →

My Second Visit to Brunetti was Disappointing

Posted on August 21, 2012 by bookjunkie

Wish the quality of the food was as good as the decor here. The cannoli was soggy and the filling too sweet. The hot chocolate was too cloying as well, and I prefer my hot chocolate made with real semi … Continue reading →
