While her dramas often end up somewhat lacklustre, Shin Se Kyung has managed to daze Noona in whatever she’s wearing in her various drama. Black Knight has given her a lot of fashion inspiration despite the fact that she won’t be able to wear any winter OOTD in this crazy hot tropical country named Singapore. But anyway, we can still get the bag if we can afford it somehow...maybe. Or maybe we can travel to winter countries and voila, a chance to wear red coat and with black slingbag. Yes? No?</div>

Noona would like to vote for red coat to exist in any woman’s wardrobe because after all red is such a flattering color. The red coat from Korean fashion label, Tint Rose, costs USD 285 on its website (www.tintrose.com) and it is one of the most popular item amongst the the label’s creations. Noona supposes its popularity was boosted somehow by the drama, Black Knight. If you are, however staying in a tropical country where it’s forever summer here, Noona thinks you can still work the look but substitute the thick coat with blazer instead. Now if only, we can find similar color for the blazer...</div>

In the spirit of lunar new year, Noona thinks that red color will work as well as maroon to be pair with that classy black Celine Trotteur bag. How about pairing the red double breasted blazer (is that a typo there?) from River Island with it? The red blazer costs 89.90 SGD. </div>

Alternatively, Mango also has a similar blazer at less scorching red tone. And to make it even better, the Ruched Sleeves Blazer from Mango is currently on sale from the initial price of SGD 119 to SGD 72.90. Not exactly cheap but at least it’s not in the hundreds. </div>

Actually blazer will also work well if you are travelling in spring or transition from spring to summer where the weather is sunny but the wind is still pretty chilly. So an outfit idea for spring maybe? If red is too strong for you, you can opt for pink instead since spring is all about the pastel color. Zalora happens to have one pink scrunch sleeve blazer at SGD 54.90 now if you are interested in one. Pink blazer is nicer to pair with black top intead of white though. </div>

Right, how about the bag? Noona can’t help but admiring that classic black Celine Trotteur bag which has a price tag of SGD 2,800 (i.e. more than 3x her monthly rental). *cry in broken Korean*</div>

Alternatively, you can probably choose for cheaper option offered by Coach. The courier bag from Coach & Rodarte is currently priced at SGD 950 i.e. less than half the price of the above Celine. #cheapome </div>

It has been a while since the last time I eat the gooey melted lava cake. Lava cake is one of the desserts which is fun to consume. One is because it has a certain unique element to it. Once you have used your spoon to dig the inside of lava cake, certain liquid is expected to come out from the cake be it either matcha, chocolate, salted egg, depending on the filling used. M Seven Cafe’s rendition of matcha lava cake (SGD 8.5) is actually pretty good but I think it went a bit overboard on the toppings i.e. the chocolate sauce, the peanuts and the whipped cream. The chocolate ice cream used for the pairing of the lava cake is too sweet. I think dark chocolate ice cream will fare better because the matcha lava cake is already sweet. </div>

I am currently hooked with this Korean drama starring Lee Jong Suk and Suzy, While You Were Sleeping. I wonder if it’s the casting or the storyline, everything seems to come together beautifully and engage you in a don’t-want-to-stop-watching mood. I suppose the pretty faces of the actors and the actresses help to boost the drama too. After all, who does not enjoy looking at pretty people? I have been using drama as a consolation to cheer myself up whenever I have to look at someone whose attitude I loathe or someone who has hurt me before (and yet, still have to see the person at common event, etc). It does not healthy and it’s indeed sound like a temporary fix, but watching cute oppa on K-dramas help to wash off some dirt from your eyes given by reality. I hope I will encounter someone who treat me kindly without using me and all sort and hence, ending my K-drama addiction (or at least, destroy the distorted use of K-drama as consolation means). </div>

The Butterscotch Banana Pancake (SGD 18) from Atlas Coffeehouse is huge. I think it is more of a hotcake rather than pancake but being a true-born INFP, I will leave the concept of “pancake” opens for an interpretation. Anyway, every man is allowed to have a free opinion. I find it a bit too sweet, heavy and impossible to finish even with two mouths to share. I wish Atlas Coffeehouse sells smaller portion of the pancake so that I can do my forever-alone-hanging-out antic here while enjoying the pancake. </div>

By the way, I have just finished reading Norwegian Wood. Despite its being 0% surrealist, this book left a lasting impression on me. I fell in love with the storyline despite its open ended ending. While the storyline may be somewhat revolving around death, a topic which is seldom touched and talked upon in our society, it managers to perspire a dark and yet beautifully depressed view on life and death. Ironically, Midori Kobayashi is my most favourite character in this otherwise, gloomy story. </div>

Lady M’s Checkers reminded me of the cake which I used to eat when I was young. Everytime anybody go to the market, I will ask the person to help me buy checkers. Although the price of the Checkers cake which I used to eat when I was small is definitely nowhere near Lady M’s price because it was sold in the wet market in third world country. Lady M’s rendition of Checkers cake weaves together a precise and tender checkerboard of vanilla and chocolate sponge cake. The light fresh whipped cream comes tucked between the squares, outfitted in a silky dark chocolate ganache. </div>

I am currently into Korean indie band, the Black Skirts. Since I heard one of their songs titled “Til the End of Time” which was prominently featured in Another Oh Hae Young drama everytime handsome Eric has his screentime, I had fallen in love with this one man band. I find that his songs that I like are usually the bittersweet ones (probably because my life is not all sweet and candies all the time). </div>

I’ve never been to Spain but I like the taste of churros, especially when you dip them into the chocolate sauce. I seldom eat churros in Singapore though. The last time I ate them was at Common Man Coffee Roasters and 2 sticks of Common Man Churros costs SGD 12.50. I wonder if this kind of price tag can be considered a crime in Spain. </div>

During my patchy relationship with Mr Arse Angel, I’ve met so many of my friends for advice. While I’m grateful for their advice, I kinda develop a degree of skepticism towards my own confidants at the same time. I hate to feel this way but I could not help it. Because most human beings have this thing called double standard. </div>

When I am at the more comfortable/ secured stage of my life, I find it’s easy to give advice to other people whose life is not all rosy and rainbow. Ironically, that does not mean that I will follow my own advice when the same situation happen to me. Taking this widespread human behaviour into, it’s hard for me to listen to any advice without a pinch of salt. </div>

Mille Feuille is one of trademark pastries offered by Paul. While I usually go for the plain one, I decided to go for Strawberry Mille Feuille that night. The crispy golden puff pastry, strawberry creme-filled Napoleon cake topped with light apricot glaze. A lovely rendition in my belly. Sometimes I can’t really decide whether I like strawberry or chocolate better as the base for the cake. Hmm. </div>

I am at the age where my peers are getting married (and even have babies) one by one. At this stage of life, I come to realisation that my close friends are mainly made of singles. Old articles written by the Guardian and BBC have confirmed that statistically, you tend to lose friends for a relationship at the ratio of 1:2 (losing 2 close friends from 1 relationship). Oh wow, isn’t that a bummer?</div>
<div class="separator" data-mce-style="clear: both; text-align: center;" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">

But then again, love for your partner is definitely bigger than your love for close friends. So I suppose this what make people who are getting in relationship to somewhat “ditch” their close friends. The intimacy of a relationship after all correlates very tightly with the frequency of your interactions with those individuals. Needless to say, if you don’t even bother to make effort to still see your friend, the emotional engagement that you have with them will drop. Being at the receiving end of this treatment, I even say that the level can drop to the irreparable stage i.e. the stage where I don’t bother to ignite our friendship ever again. After all, who want to be treated like a convenient friend?</div>

But then again, since this seems to be a worldwide MO (and I probably would be swept through the same MO if I get into relationship again, despite my strong willpower not to), I suppose this is one of those pet-peeve that you just have to endure and get it by as long as you are still living on earth. Sucks, but nobody’s perfect. <span data-mce-style="color: #404040; font-family: Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #404040; font-family: Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;"> </span></div>

The Story of Exotique, Ciel Patisserie<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems that the adventurous side of me has taken over my laziness for the past few days. I become more open to travel further (which is in Singapore standard involve few MRT stations + few bus stops from home) to try out new stuff. Having fellow adventurous cafehopping buddy helps a great deal in this Singapore version of cafe adventure of our lifetime. Ciel Patisserie, a small cafe located a few stops away from Serangoon MRT station, is a nice place to have cake and coffee. Its cakes remind me of Kki, those pretty little cakes with colorful coating. Exotique (SGD 6.40) is described as coconut bavarian creme, passion fruit cremeux, coconut joconde and coconut white chocolate crisp on the menu. In layman terms, it’s a coconut cake filled with passion fruit cream and white chocolate crisp at the bottom of the cake. Perfect cake for those people who prefer their cakes to be on the less sweet side because of the sweet and sour taste of passionfruit. </div>

HAS UNEMPLOYMENT BECOME A MORE ACCEPTABLE TREND?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have eaten many cakes for the past few days in view of my failed relationship. While this has helped a lot in mood, the new habit does not really help in terms of waist size. Engulfed with immediate fear over the moving needle on the scale, I quickly make a run to the gym. Gym membership in Singapore is definitely not cheap and yet, I am unable to let go of this membership. I have included gym as one of those places which I visit everyday because one session of gym class will help me to spend few hours of my, otherwise, free day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I expect the 3PM class to be empty because by right, most people are supposedly stuck in their office, trying to overcome their drowsiness after lunch. Today was an exception. The class was nearly as full as a weekend class. My curiosity encouraged me to take a 360 degrees view of the class to see what kind of people made it to the class. Most of them are in their 30s. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are all of us unemployed at the moment? Or do these people have find out the ultimate secret of work-life balance?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wonder if I should do a quick survey to them one day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
One day, when my crazy gut is higher than my common sense. </div>

The Story of Kimchi Toastie, Paddy Hills<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paddy Hills was the last cafe I visited with Mr Arse-Angel. But then, I did not associate the cafe with the nasty turn of event that followed our story later on. After all, I personally think Paddy Hills is one of the nice quaint cafes in Singapore (except when it’s crowded). Paddy Hills updates its menu quite often so it’s normal for certain dishes to be taken in and taken out from the menu especially during festive season. I did not see Kimchi Toastie (SGD 19) in the menu when I visited Paddy Hill earlier this year so I kinda wanted to try it. It’s basically a pastry item combined with local twist. The kimchi toastie is a danish loaf filled with house cured bacon, mozzarella, orange cheddar and it is served with a side of two onsen eggs. I wonder why most restaurants always give two eggs in brunch item. I suppose it’s to justify the price of the meal. And yet, I think two eggs are too much for me. The kimchi toast tastes pretty good though I wonder if it’s because I am a pastries lover by nature.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Between the end of that strange relationship and the approach of November, my life went on without a change. Each day would dawn without incident and end as it had begun. I was quite surprised with my own acceptance of the whole situation despite the fact that I still have no job. Work is after all the best way to occupy your mind from a failed relationship and when this avenue is not even listed as an option, one tend to wonder how to make oneself busy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Making round from gym, food place and supermarket, that’s how my days pass one by one. With an occasional job application, whenever the opportunity arise. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I’ve taken up reading again after 8 years of neglecting any kind of books due to busy lifestyle. My brother has become a fan of Haruki Murakami and his books are weird. In a good way of weird. I have finished Kafka on the Shore and now in the middle of reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. While none of Murakami-sensei’s stories end on a sweet sugary note, I find joy (and even consolation and acceptance) by reading them. I was kinda able to move on from my problem easier because of his storyline, especially in The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. </div>

When I was small, I think superheroes are very cool especially the scenes where they are saving their loved ones (ahem, girlfriend). But, after incurring bruises and cuts while growing up, I realise that most of the times, you can only be your own hero. Because human is a not a secured being to put your hope and trust on. Despite the sour words, the Momma Hero (SGD 7.5) from the Tiramisu Hero taste rich and sweet enough although I would prefer it to have more alcoholic flavor inside the small jar. </div>

After my encounter with Mr Arse-Angel and the bitter experience which followed, I had a feeling that I should really reflect on myself and realign some of my life goals. But then again, life goals are such a heavy words. Maybe I should start by editing my unemployed life’s to-do-list. </div>

I’ve read somewhere online that an INFP tend to have a good skill of writing and I do enjoy writing stuff (albeit mostly nonsense). The thing is I lack discipline and motivation and I don’t really read book often. When you are working 9 to god-knows-what-time desk job, you totally have no motivation to read any book. All you wanna do is concuss on the bed. Such an irony, having salary and yet, no time to enjoy it. </div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have not really been to Paul in ages for its patisserie stuff. But that one particular night, I needed to cheer myself up by stuffing myself with sweet stuff. Flan Normand (SGD 7) was actually not the cake that my cake-date wanted to order but her favourite cake was already sold out by then. It is an apples, almonds, custard cream puff pastry. It’s a tad sweet but I don’t mind because after all I need some sugary love. Even if it comes from Flan Normand, not a human being. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I met Mr Arse Angel in church and I was kinda crushing on him for 9 months. We are serving in the same ministry (until now, I decided not to dump the ministry just because of an arse) and well, hate to admit, but he was kinda cute. At first, he was kinda reserved but he started to open up and we started hanging out for a few times. I had to say while his dating game was not really the best that I had ever experience, his texting skill is on another level. It’s the level where your hope is raised and making you kinda confident that he was somewhat into you too (or at least has a certain degree of interest in you). Needless to say, we texted everyday for the past 9 months. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Despite the intense texting, he was somewhat lukewarm in the face-to-face dating activity. He only started asking me out for dates in the 6th month of our game. Actually I should have picked up the slow signs as he did not take me seriously. But being a hopeful romantic, I chose to give him more time with some kind of delusional optimism. The thing is, instead of backing out or tossing me away, he chose to entertain and thus, string me along in his game. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He finally dropped a bomb two weeks ago saying that he fell in love with someone who he just met for less than 5 days during his overseas trip. My first reaction is definitely WTF because is that even love. But who am I to say what’s and what’s not about love since love is a riddle to me. I confronted him to ask if he’s ever considering me. On text, he did say yes but he did not see us together. But when I met him, he told me that all along he did not have feeling at all. Plus, he did not think that his text is flirty and stuff. That’s how he text his friends normally. Which means, he text “I MISS YOU” and seind flirty emoticon to all his friends. Turns out Mr Arse-Angel is not only cruel, but also creepy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">While I don’t really mind if he’s keeping his options open, I was really pissed when I find out that he just want to hang out with me as friends when he needs some kind of girlfriend-companion (or some ego boost) and then, he stop texting me altogether when he starts his relationship (expected actually). If all along he does not even consider me as friend, I wonder if I am just a used plastic bag in his textbook. Not exactly a nice way to treat someone. I don’t think he really has a real friend in life, the kind who will help you when you are in dire situation, with this kind of attitude. But that will not be my problem, for sure. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
This is the first time I had Ondeh Ondeh Cake in the 30 years of living on earth. Ondeh Ondeh is a traditional Indonesian green-colored balls of rice cake filled with liquid palm sugar and coated in grated coconut. It is those kind of cake you can buy at any wet market in Indonesia. Childhood memories. Quite surprised people turn it into the flavor of modern cake nowadays. While the taste is more or less the same, it lacks the oomph flavour of grated coconut. Maybe the cake would have tasted better if the filling between each layer is infused with grated coconut.<br />

Do you often have dream in those limbo hour between waking up and yet, not waking up? I do. The thing is most of those dreams are neither prophecy or serious stuff about life. They are always weird. Even though, they look pretty interestingly similar to action movies at times. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This morning, the dream is bordering on the line of strange and it was so full of kids who seem to be a mixture of my nephews, nieces and probably their friends. I was somewhat undecided whether I am stuck in IT movie or Stranger Things tv series. But either way, I was so drained in the dream. The dream was situated at my old house in Jakarta. I woke up in my own bedroom and yet the first thing that I saw is that there are two of my nieces sitting nearby just sleeping around on the same bed with me. Hmm, okay, so apparently the whole family from my Mom’s side seems to have invaded the house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was looking for a room to spend what I usually do, personal me-time and yet all rooms are invaded. I ended up sitting on the chair on the sitting room and showed my frustrated look to my brother. This happended while there are so many kids (around kindergarden age) running around here and there. Oh my gawd, this started to feel like a bad dream really. I ended up venting my frustration to my journal laying on the table and the more I wrote, the more I saw my writing becomes uglier and uglier due to the frustration that I endured. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I decided to wake up shortly after that because after all, it’s already 10AM on a Sunday morning. Hmm. </div>

The Story of Lychee Rosewater, Suzette<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
This was the first time I had a cake named Lychee Rosewater (SGD 8). The moist sponge cakes layered with sweet cream and topped with rose flavoured butter cream taste light and yet, it exudes the right amount of sweetness. If only I am not too lazy to walk all the way to Esplanade Mall, I would probably have this cake often to cheer me up on those gloomy days.<br />
<br /></div>

When you are unemployed, you suddenly have a lot of time on your hands. Chances are you will start to think of what to achieve in life while at the same time, looking for a new source of cash flow. After all, the rental and daily expenses will not pay by themselves. Looking back at those busy times at the bank, I don’t really have the time to take care of both my weight and love life. I figure, a break may be a good time to pursue both goals. After all, both has always on the list of every new year’s resolution. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">TO-DO-LIST DURING BREAK:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1. Find new job</div>

3. Revive dying love life</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I am quite surprised with my own ability to create a to-do-list because after all, I am the type who does not really follow my own plan. Blame it on the “P” of my INFP personality, maybe? Looking at the above to-do-list again, I suppose 3 things on your to-do-list does not really make it an achievement or something. I wonder how am I gonna do the above three things on my list but I guess I’ll think about it while finishing the Lychee Rosewater Cake. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On second thought, do I really need include task #3 in the to-do-list? Hmm. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a slice of Coco Nana (SGD 9) from Nesuto. I seldom choose coconut based cake whenever I feel like having cake but that night, Sierra feels like having one, so we chose this cake to share. Inside the coconut sprinkled cover, you will find a chocolate sponge cake filled with banana and chocolate cream. Quite a refreshing combination I suppose, banana, chocolate and coconut. </div>

I have never imagined that I would be jobless once again in my early 30s. The first time I took a break from work was exactly 10 years. I started my career in audit. Nobody asked me to pick auditor as career. I just think of it at the right way to go since I was graduated with an accounting degree. The first lesson that I learnt from my first job was everything which come with a set of bond or commitment is never pretty and there’s no way I would spend my 20s slaving from morning to morning on a daily basis. I desperately resigned on my last day and went without a job for two months. The maximum number of time off which I could take because my bank account was about to reach the darkest bottom pit of zero balance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10 years later, I have not really found what I’m looking for, it seems. And here I am, jobless once again. At least, this time I am jobless with an adequate amount of dollars in my bank account. I think I would make do for at least the next 5 months, unless my sanity gives up on me. Coco Nana does not really start with a nice sweet story I suppose. </div>

"Do not focus so much on the future you lose the importance of today" is probably the verse that I need to hear the most recently. I do not know the future and yet, I keep to think so much about it. I wonder if I lose my focus on enjoying the present moment. Sometimes in order to refocus back to what's important in life, you need to chill a little bit with your best buddy in tow to accompany you or listen to your random crap in life. If that's what you want to do at the moment, you may want to come to Xiao Ya Tou at Duxton Hill in Tanjong Pagar.</div>

Xiao Ya Tou is a hipster restaurant which looks like it came straight away from the retro era of China (or Hong Kong, maybe?). The interior design of Xiao Yao Tou is like Central's but times two. I wonder if my parents used to come to this kind of restaurant when they were dating each other. </div>

Xiao Ya Tou starts serving dinner starting from 6PM. Sliders are interesting but only available after 9PM. I suppose Xiao Ya Tou offers them as accompaniment to alcohols. My dinner buddy is actually looking forward to Xiao Ya Tou's unagi benedict but unfortunately the dish is only served for Sunday brunch. Oh well, probably I will only come here for brunch on Sunday when I don't feel like laying around on my bed, which is highly unlikely. Besides the unagi benedict, Xiao Ya Tou offers other quirky dishes such as Crab and Lap Cheong Omelette (SGD 9) and Spicy Brussel Sprout (SGD 12). </div>

Checking out the utensils which looks like Blue China, while waiting for the drinks to come. Xiao Ya Tou has a pretty extensive selection of alcoholic drinks and cocktails.

The Cheezy Pork Sausage (SGD 10) are a combination of sausage, rice cake, spring onion and lettuces drenched in garlic soya sauce. Not bad at all, although anything that have rice cake inside will make me happy nonetheless. </div>

Based on review in Burpple, one of the most order dish in Xiao Ya Tou is its XYT Ayam Percik (SGD 26), which is a cheeky rendition curry chicken by Xiao Ya Tou's chef. The curry is rich and yet, not spicy so you can definitely take it if you don't like spicy food. It taste better than it looks, we finished the whole plate of chicken. #chicoverdose</div>

Being Indonesian, I love to devour all types of fried rice, especially those which come with fried shallots. Goes well with the ayam percik as well although on second thought, white rice is probably more suitable to pair with ayam percik as the chicken dish is quite rich and strong in flavour. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Anyeong! It has been a while since the last time Noona updates this blog because of some technical glitch and so on. She was kinda pondering on whether she should just abandon this blog entirely but then again, it's so troublesome to create a new blog so Noona is back again now.<br />
<br />
Recently, there have been more and more Japanese cafes opening up in Singapore, especially in the busy area of Tanjong Pagar. Tanjong Pagar is a nightmare if you visit the area on weekday lunchtime (but so is all other CBD area in Singapore). The best time to do cafehopping in Tanjong Pagar area is actually during the weekend. Noona did some exploration at the latest addition in the region, Tanjong Pagar Centre last Saturday and oh wow, the place is so quiet it makes chilling out there so enjoyable. Tanjong Pagar Centre houses the cafe that Noona wants to talk about for today, Hattendo Cafe.<br />

Hattendo Cafe specialises in cream buns and it is currently offering 5 different flavors of cream buns including custard, whipped cream (seriously?), matcha, azuki beans and chocolate. One cream bun costs SGD 2.50 while you can get five buns for the price of SGD 12.50. The chocolate cream bun seems to be the most favorite flavor because Hattendo Cafe has already run out of its chocolate cream bun by the time Noona visited the cafe at 4.30PM-ish on Saturday afternoon. </div>

Savory items are available at Hattendo Cafe too. These items are probably included to cater for the lunch crowd at Tanjong Pagar area on weekdays. Some interesting selection includes Iberian Ham with Mozzarella (SGD 8), Okonomiyaki Sausage Rosti (SGD 13) and the DIY Mason Jar Salad (SGD 7 for 1 jar). </div>

Occasionally, Hattendo Cafe will offer seasonal flavour like Matcha Melon Cream Bun (SGD 3). Each cream bun has been wrapped individually and kept in the fridge. The cream buns are best eaten when they are chilled. So if you don't want to eat them immediately, you have to keep them at the fridge at home. The staff behind the counter has informed us that the cream buns last for two hours outside the fridge. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is the serving size of the cream bun. They look rather big when displayed inside the wrapping but once you open the wrap, the cream bun is not as big as what Noona expects. The texture of the buns for the Matcha Melon Cream Bun is rather unique because it resembles the outer skin of Japanese favourite bun, Melon Pan. I am an avid fan of Melon Pan despite its high calorie content. Why everything that taste good to Noona seem to be fattening? *sigh*</div>

XxThe filling of the cream bun taste rather milky just like what the Japanese seem to enjoy. Noona finds the cream bun to be rather sweet, it will taste even better if Hattendo lower down the sugar level by one notch. But since Singapore is a country which love sweetness in their food, Noona does not see her suggestion happening anytime soon. Overall, Hattendo Cafe is a nice cafe to chill out on a weekend. Hmm, just wondering if the cream bun will make a perfect pairing for a cup of flat white. Maybe next time. </div>

Anyeong! Summer has come and it is really time for us to pack our swimsuit, wear our sunglasses and fly to the nearest island. This summertime, Noona has finally had the opportunity to fly to an island which she has seen so many times in TV, Jeju Island. Kajja~~~</div>

Noona went with her Omma (re: Mum) and dongsaeng (re: younger bro) to South Korea last month and it was Omma's first trip after she broke her knee last year. Omma has been craving for a holiday but since we are not really sure if she can endure free and easy trip (i.e. Independent travel not by joining any tour operator), we decided to join a tour operator from Jakarta. The tour to South Korea includes 3 days 2 nights trip to Jeju Island so we thought the itinerary was quite good enough for us. Our tour seems to be consisted of mostly family with kids so Noona thinks this itinerary suits those travelling with kids the most. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
Singapore is a country which derives a huge portion of its income from tourism. Hence, it is no wonder that all kinds of accommodation are offered in this tiny island in the Southeast Asia region. Having residing for long term, Noona has received a lot of questions on where to stay in Singapore whenever her friends/ family members want to go holiday here. The thing is, price has always come up in the discussion.<br />
<br />
Other than being famous for tourism, Singapore is also famous for its well-known high living cost in the world. Yep, Noona is staying in one of the most expensive cities in the world oh my gawd.<br />

Frugal travellers for sure have considered the cheaper option of staying in Airbnb (if you have not heard on this Airbnb trend, you can check it out <a href="http://www.airbnb.com.sg/">here</a>). In a gist, homeowner can advertise and rent out its room in Airbnb to guests for a fee which either charged per day or per week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some rooms advertised in Airbnb are really good-looking and some owners even give out amenities to use like towels, toothbrushes, shampoo, soaps and hairdryer. Noona used Airbnb during her stay in Sydney before and yeah this kind of arrangement works and it was pretty affordable too. After all, not everyone is willing to churn out a huge amount of $$ even though the view from the hotel room up there is quite nice, right?</div>

While the thoughts of renting a room via the listing offered at Airbnb in Singapore are tempting, the regulation and law involve properties rental in Singapore is very strict. After further research before letting Noona's cousin know whether he can rent accommodation from Airbnb, Noona has found out that a new law about this has been passed in early 2017. And the law said that short term home rental is in fact ILLEGAL. Omo omo!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some points extracted from the <a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/politics/parliament-short-term-home-rental-illegal-under-new-law">news</a> by Straits Times:-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">It is illegal for homeowners to rent out its entire apartments for less than 6 months.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Number of unrelated tenants living in the same apartments is limited to 6 </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh well, while the door seems to be shut (at least, for now) for visitors to use the seemingly wonderful option from Airbnb. The Singapore Government has promised that there are proposals in consideration to allow such arrangement for short term staying in Singapore. But Noona suspects it will come with its own set of rules and regulations. So yeah, fingers crossed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you still want to rent from Airbnb at your own risk, you must be prepared if there is suddenly an inspection by the government officials. You may have to be prepared to be thrown out from the accommodation that you rent and forced to find out accommodation immediately. Noona thinks this would be very disruptive to your otherwise fun day so please be safe than sorry. </div>

The sexy thing is most likely not Noona because she has been stuffing herself with so many good food over the two weeks break. Anyeong! It has been a while, isn't it? Noona is alive and well, fatter. It's probably time to break the habit of slacking and binging food over Netflix and K-dramas starting tomorrow. Hahaha.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">

Noona would probably need to stop eating steak for a while since her last visit to CUT because the steak was so good (and so expensive), it's hard to beat the lingering feeling that Noona felt after eating this steak.<br />

CUT is a celebrity chef restaurant owned by Wolfgang Puck, who Noona has no idea who he is until one day before dining at his restaurant. Prior to ordering the meat that you'd like for your steak, the waiter/ waitress will show you how the meats look like. Noona ain't meat expert and hence, all meats look the same in her eyes except for each degree of red-ness. But her noob eyes can tell that these meats are not gonna be cheap. Nuh uh. Do you want to guess which meat that Noona and her dinner date end up choosing for their dinner?</div>

Steak goes well with wine but that's the case only if you like to drink wine in the first place. Noona gave these bottles of wine a miss because she does not really like drinking wine except moscato. </div>

More complimentary breads are given but this time, the waiter will ask you which bread you'd like to have from his tray. He also advised us not to have too many breads because the steak that we ordered is HUGE. However, the impression that both of us are petite diners gone the moment he saw us gobbling the meat. #shameonus</div>

The steak comes with two side dishes to select. Noona wanted to try mash potato because what is steak without some potato? Noona kinda feels like a minion sometimes. Po-ta-to people! Oh right, how does the mash potato fare? The Yukon Gold Potato Purée tastes so heavenly but it does not taste that yummy once it is cold. So eat it fast! </div>

Noona's dinner date ordered a bowl of onion rings and oh my gawd, this is the best onion rings that Noona has ever tasted in her whole life so far. Bye bye Burger King's onion rings. To be fair, the price is different so Noona probably should not even compare both of them in the first place. </div>

Here comes the Porterhouse steak.

Anyeong! Do you ever have this feeling of having a crush on someone and yet the more you know that particular someone, you feel like suddenly there's a background song with TOP's voice saying "Uri saranghaji marayo"? Noona is having this weird feeling at the moment because she thinks that her crush has turned out to be crazy. Not in a criminally psychotic way but weird kind of psycho. Okay, Noona does not know how to explain this weirdo but...oh well, further observation required perhaps? Hahahaha. </div>

When girls are in doubt, the next thing that they do is to meet up with other girls and talk about their life's problems away, including guy problem. Noona admits she herself often does this kind of things and thankfully her stories so far has not irritated any of her girl friends despite how weird/ unusual her storytelling skill is. This time, we are visiting one of the most-often-featured-cafe in K-drama worlds, Dal Komm Coffee. It was featured in Descendants of the Sun and Goblin and the famous cafe has opened an outlet at Centrepoint in Somerset. </div>

If you recalled watching Goblin, Eun Tak was drinking a peach looking drink named Honey Grapefruit. Noona was kinda curious on how good the drink is so she ordered one glass of grapefruit juice. It tastes so refreshing and hopefully the drink is really filled with Vit C instead of sugar. Well, there's honey added to it though otherwise it will be super sour. </div>

This is Noona's current favourite bible verses because recently all the things that she has experienced are really not good for her heart. So many uncertainties, unknown challenges and question marks which left to be answered and yet, there is no point thinking so much about these problems until losing sleep. Or losing appetite to eat. Hahaha. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
And with that mindset plus one very supportive friend, here we are at TWG Tea Salon one stop away from our office. That was the day where both of us got an approval to leave office two hours earlier than usual. We had actually made dinner reservation at 6PM but since we were early, we decided to just chill at TWG Tea Salon. Contemplating on what to have without jeopardising future dinner, we ended up ordering two scoops of tea-infused ice cream (SGD 9) and a pot of tea. <br />

There are only three kinds of tea ice creams offered at TWG Tea Salon, Earl Grey Fortune, Napoleon Tea and Vanilla Bourbon Tea. Noona chose the vanilla bourbon tea while her dongsaeng chose Earl Grey Fortune. Dongsaeng was a tad confused when she saw the Earl Grey Fortune came looking very similar to chocolate ice cream. Thankfully Noona remembered that she saw the word "chocolate" under the description of Earl Grey Fortune. Noona prefers the Vanilla Bourbon Tea ice cream though. </div>

The tea that Dongsaeng chose was pretty good and soothing. Could not really remember the name but it is probably Vanilla Bourbon Tea (in real tea version not ice cream). TWG has so many tea selection, it is kinda futile trying to remember all its name. The ambience of TWG Tea Salon at Marina Bay Sands is really nice for chillaxing. Both of us feel like we are living a "tai-tai" (re: wife of rich husband who does not have to work) lifestyle enjoying our high tea while the commoners are working their asses off in the office. </div>

While we were enjoying our tea and ice cream, we talked about so many things from shitty workload, annoying people at work, people that we love, our family to our favourite band, Coldplay.

Currently listening to Big Bang's One Last Dance and reading news about TOP being hospitalised. The life of these Korean idols are tough up to the point they need to consume drugs and get high. Hope he recovers soon and well. He's really a great artist and Noona thinks Big Bang will not be complete without him. Haiz. Such news making Noona feeling so blue. </div>

One fine afternoon, Noona's unnie at work invited her out for lunch. Since she happened to be free, Noona just agreed to the invitation and the Unnie wanted to try out vegetarian food at Fortune Centre, which is not located not near to our office at all. But Noona is not Noona if she is not up for a lunch time adventure. After changing MRT line and walk for a few minutes under the sun, they have finally reached New Green Pasture Cafe at level 4 of Fortune Centre.<br />

New Green Pasture Cafe was opened by a cancer survivor who since then turned vegetarian. The food sold here are made from organic stuff and hence, premium price. Unnie ordered a bowl of Thunder Tea Rice, a dish which Noona can't understand why people like to eat. The soup is minty and Noona could not get the idea of eating rice with minty soup logical in their mind. Nah. </div>

But the bowl of thunder tea rice really looks good on its own though. Probably Noona can eat this without the minty soup. Hahaha. You can take the radish soup from the pot near the counter but you have to pay SGD 1 for unlimited amount of serving. Quite a good deal, but the ladle is so hot you need to be careful when taking the soup. </div>

Noona ordered a plate of sesame soba instead. Are these giant bean sprouts? The portion of giant bean sprouts and seaweed are generous but I suggest you not to eat this dish if you are on a date or important lunch meeting because the seaweed bits and sesame can easily get stuck on your teeth. Taste wise, quite light and yummy (Noona loves sesame) but you will get hungry again around 4PM-ish. </div>

Noona was totally out of ideas on where to hang out last Saturday so Chingu came to the rescue. Chingu's sister was actually the one who suggested the place which is named like somewhere from Harry Potter's world. Welcome to CreatureS! Please take out your wand and get ready to capture the magical creatures flying inside.<br />

Okay, just kidding. CreatureS is a nice quaint little cafe located at the stretch of the road just a few blocks after the happening area of Mustafa Center. We reached the cafe around 5.30ish and we were informed that the table that was gonna be assigned to us was only available until 7.20. Hmm, okay, since Noona and her chingu were only going to have coffee and cakes, we figured that we would not sit for that long. </div>

No idea why the limited time was given to us because there were not many diners at that particular timing. Well, we might be wrong though, who knows that most people will start to flock in after 7.30pm? If you are looking for a cafe to chill solo, you may want to consider to come to CreatureS around the same timing as us and sit at this particular corner because it looks so nice (although there is no backrest provided on that kind of chair). </div>

Meanwhile, Noona tried to be more adventurous by trying out something-out-of-the-norm such as Coconut Latte but turns out coconut does not go well with latte according to Noona's tastebud. Noona did not really fancy the coffee served at CreatureS because it's kinda too strong for her lousy caffeine intake level but at least there's Lotus biscuit provided at the side. #consolationpoint</div>

Anyeong! Noona is back at Lola's Cafe again but this time around, she came with a different chingu. And since this time around we visited Lola's Cafe around 5PM-ish, we dare to order matcha latte and cafe mocha and oh boy, both drinks taste so good. The coffee sold at Lola's Cafe is on par with the ones sold at Paddy Hills.<br />

Chingu wanted to try out pasta so we order Swimmer Crab and Prawn Pasta (SGD 18). There is an option to make the pasta spicy or non spicy but since we are both spicy lover, we prefer it to be spicy. Noona is more of a fan of cream pasta rather than soupy ones but at least Lola's Cafe is pretty generous with the amount of crabmeat given on this pasta. </div>

Chingu does not want to relent on giving up ordering Nacho Cheese Fries (SGD 9). Haizz, being a very good friend, Noona let her go ahead with her order. Despite having ordering this starter before, it still tastes quite good. Apparently, it's hard to get bored of something which has cheese on top of it. </div>

There are so many cakes to select from the cake display at Lola's Cafe but since we are having some tarts for take-always, we decided to try Lola's Cafe's signature chocolate cake. Hmm it is so-so. It's kinda hard to judge chocolate cake, to be honest with you. Maybe Noona should have gone with Lychee Rosewater Cake instead. </div>

But Lola's Cafe does serve ah-ma-zing tarts. The price tag for each tart is not cheap at SGD 5. But the Black Sesame Tart and Lemon Meringue Tart are really really worth the price tag. If Noona ever comes back to Lola's Cafe again in the future (well, Kovan is pretty far from where Noona lives so...), she will definitely buy the tarts again. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Anyeong! As you can see from previous few posts, Noona has been trying to religiously key in her calorie intake in a health app named MyFitnessPal. After a month of logging in, unfortunately, she does not see any weight loss despite the target of losing 0.5kg per month. Hmm...<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Based on Noona's personal observation, these few points may be the main reason of why MyFitnessPal does not work for weight loss:</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
(1) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The misconception of you can burn your over-consumed calories</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
While this is technically true if you are looking at it from mathematical point of view, Noona tends to eat higher calorie food for dinner especially when she sees she has enough calorie "quantity" left to consume for the day. So yeah, most of the time after gym session, she will see a whopping available calorie of 900 - 1000 kcal. Instead of sticking to the plan to eat healthy, she usually succumbs to food such as this bowl of fried rice. Uhm...<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rlfVIyh_Tp4/WTLRMxTS2YI/AAAAAAAAaas/PtLv7tLt4dAoLjdptz4KfELk71a8GGmqQCHM/Fried%2Brice%2Bfrom%2BAsia%2BSquare%2BSingapore" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Fried rice from Asia Square Singapore" data-json="" height="375" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rlfVIyh_Tp4/WTLRMxTS2YI/AAAAAAAAaas/PtLv7tLt4dAoLjdptz4KfELk71a8GGmqQCHM/Fried%2Brice%2Bfrom%2BAsia%2BSquare%2BSingapore" title="Fried rice from Asia Square Singapore" width="500" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(2)<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> The calorie database in the app may not be accurate</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of the portion used to count the calorie in MyFitnessPal are quite vague, to be honest with you. A cup/ a bowl depends on the size of the cup or the bowl. There is no way to gauge the calorie accurately unless you can weigh your food intake (which is not convenient at all). So most of the times, you may end up under-estimating your calorie intake from food. On the other hand, you may also end up over-estimating your burnt calorie from exercising. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
(3) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">You cannot always find the food in the apps' database</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Some of the food that Noona consumes are not available in the database and she has to log in using similar food to key in the calorie intake. The thing is, while both food may be named as "fried kway teow" or whatever, they may have a way different calorie numbers contained in the dish. Because after all calories do depend on a lot of factors such as the way the food is cooked, the condiments used in cooking, the sauces, etc. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
With those reasons being mentioned, MyFitnessPal seems to be able to give more accurate calorie data on more popular food such as McDonalds' or hawker food (if you are living in Singapore). So yeah, while it is not foolproof, you can still check estimate number of calorie for those popular dishes. Hopefully, it will help you to choose healthier option when you are eating out. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Meanwhile, the weight-loss journey continues. Let's just hope we can find a better way to reach our ideal body weight.<br />

Anyeong! Noona has a trip coming up in the next 2 weeks but she has not reached the ideal summer body shape yet. Eottoke? Based on what she googled, she has to go for such an extreme diet like what those celebrities went through if she wants to reach her targeted body goal by then. Oh my gawd, that sounds pretty much impossible because well, Noona was purely a glutton. Hahahaha. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Well, for instance, you will not see any on-diet K-celebrity eating at a cafe during their crazy regime, right? But Noona has to maintain her social relationship with friends so here goes diet at Hoshino Coffee.<br />

Hoshino Coffee is a Japanese Italian cafe specialising in Omurice and Pasta dishes. In a glance, Hoshino Coffee's pasta kinda reminds Noona of Miam Miam's pasta, she starts to suspect both restaurant chains are owned by the same management. </div>

Hoshino Coffee has a pretty interesting coffee and teas. Noona was quite interested at the Sakura Latte. But oh my gawd, why does the price have to be that expensive? 9 dollars for a hot latte is kinda too much because Starbucks does not have even price their latte that expensive, right?</div>

Despite the 9 dollars price-tag, Noona succumbed to the pinky sakura latte drink. Thankfully, the taste is not bad being sweet without overpoweringly sweet like macaron. But seriously, 9 bucks? This will be once in a lifetime event, my dear sakura latte. Hahaha. </div>

Noona's chingu ordered matcha latte instead because she likes to play it safe in ordering food (boring, no?). The hot matcha latte is slightly cheaper at SGD 7.50. </div>

Since Hoshino Coffee is having limited edition menu for their 4th Anniversary in Singapore, we decided to order one of their anniversary menus, Omurice and Angus Beef Steak Rice with Salad (SGD 18.80). Kinda wish the beef steak to be thicker but other than that, the dish is pretty good. Noona likes the way salad is prepared with Japanese sesame sauce. Yummy~</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since we both know that our hunger will not be satisfied by just sharing a plate of omurice + beef steak, we ordered Shrimp, Avocado, Mozzarella with Tomato Sauce (SGD 15). The pasta served at Hoshino Coffee is leaning more toward al-dente style which Noona likes so much. She does not like her pasta to be soupy, which is what usually happen to cream pasta generally sold in Singapore. </div>
