24th Part II: La Petite Cuisine

 

 

The boyfriend brought me to La Petite Cuisine for dinner last Saturday. In my honest opinion, this place doesn't serve the best french food, saveur at bugis has better choices. Or maybe both of us just didn't ordered the right food?
I love the bread though, bread lover always!

I was surprised with a black box that evening which from far I thought was a random $2 box from Daiso Haha. The thoughtful boy noticed my extremely old coach wristlet so this came as a timely gift. I would never bear to part with my hard earned money to get something like this for myself (at least for now) so I promised I'll take good care of it :') The choice of color was also picked by him, perfectly classy and feminine.

my birthday wish tomorrow would be for you to ace your exams next week! ;)

Gene is selfish because...

 It was a perfect Wednesday to spend the morning/afternoon having brunch. 

A public holiday that falls in the middle of the week is better than nothing, I had an absolutely good rest.

We made our way to Selfish Gene Cafe and yea, TP area again. Kinda sick of it. haha

We had sesame bagel as our side order, should had tried the banana cake everyone was raving about! 

But anyway, this was so much better than the one I last had in Korea, which was as hard as a rock.

Chicken Sandwich for the boy

Bagel & Smoked Salmon for me. I love anything salmon!

and yeaaa, we caught Iron Man 3 :S It was really good!!

You don't know who I am. You'll never see me coming.

Can you believe it's May already? This year is passing by too fast!

A single day is enough to make us a little larger

If there's one thing I appreciate after holding a full time job, it will definitely be the weekends. I used to take weekends for granted because school days are like weekends everyday right?? hahaa. Now, I truly enjoy how I can sleep in and slack away the whole day.

Lunch x Soup Spoon

Gave the new soup a try, pretty much like it! The smoked salmon sandwich was good too :)

 

Chocolate Raspberry Tart x Ma Maison
The chocolate and tart is so so good, but I'd say the cream's not the kind for me!

We caught G.I Joe and also finally had a try at Skinny Pizza!  

I 'moustache' you a question!

the one who recycle laughter with me <3 thank you for loving me, always.

I always wondered how 'skinny' Skinny Pizza is. And now, I can tell you..... It truly is, because the crust is super cracky and the dough is nothing like the traditional ones. We ordered Smoked Turkey Swiss and boy, the blueberries compote together with it makes the perfect combination. I love it.

 

Tuck in!

Takeaway coffee from our favourite Starbucks!

Feels like a long time since I last ate at so many cafes in a day..

Can't believe it's mid-week again tomorrow!

✈ Hongkong - Day 4

Saturday was considered our last full day in HK since we had a morning flight to catch on Sunday :( So we woke up early in the morning to get some dimsum breakfast fix!

we decided to head to the highly recommended Lin Heung Tea House and try out, took us quite awhile to find it!

the place was full house and there were alot of people!!! had to snatch for seats before we head to snatch dimsum. haha.

the above 3 items were probably the only decent ones J managed to get. I feel I could get better char siew baos in sg. The ones in Lin heung had their skin a little too thick and hard for my liking!

I was loooking forward to what the boyf went to get, but guess what's inside.. pig liver -_- lolol!

yeah, this is how you have to snatch whenever the staff pushes the trolley out.

steam kueh -_-

not so yummy custard bun, doesn't flow at all! we were all damn full and bloated from the PAOS + cake, plus our morning bread from bakery. not so nice dimsum afterall. lol.

Lin Heung Tea House
162 Wellington Street
Central, Hong Kong
Nearest MTR: Sheung Wan (Exit E2)

Headed to Times square for shopping! HK's probably the only place J managed to lug so much good quality clothes back at an extremely cheap rate!

Dinner at random shop along the street, very famous for their handmade fishball and wanton. love this!!!!

chilling & resting the tired feet. we wanted to go to the peak but decided to give it a miss since we were pretty drained + it started drizzling! coldest night!!

our daily path.

had to grab a cup of mango blended at 11pm even though we were both shivering. whooopz!

7am next day! Decided to have light breakfast at the hotel before heading to airport :)

my oatmeal and bread fix :D & a big breakfast set

Had another round of breakfast at the airport + a cuppa green tea latte :)

HK's definitely a pretty fun place for both of us since we haven't been there before!! :)
Can't wait to realize our next trip, time to save and aim for another destination!
