Wonderlust ♥

Hello once again .


this will be a rare food post !
making it comparably more useful than the usual posts for one .

i'm trying hard to keep up my once a week blogging regime and i hope you'll like what i post . although admittedly it's always the same old stuff really . *guilty* blogging is like an itch i need to scratch ; i can never stay away from writing for too long . writing and drawing for leisure is like breathing cuz they are essential to keep me feeling alive and it's one thing i don't believe i will ever change .

i've been talking about this since forever , but once again , i find it strangely amusing that i have a staple diet and occassionally advocate what i eat to others . Since so far the recommendations have been going quite well , i've decided to list down my top 11 favourite stalls/brands/types of food or beverages that i like .

some facts before you continue further:

- i have a sweet tooth
- i prefer hard rice and pasta compared to soft rice and pasta
- my staple diet mostly consists of rice/pasta and milk tea

#1 yomenya goemon (pasta)
 http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/Yomenya_Goemon__Marina_Bay_Link_Mall_/ 

pasta has exactly the kind of texture i like !
it's been sometime since i went but the taste was great as well .
hoping to go there again soon so i've been advocating this quite often lately .


#2 lenas (pasta)
i normally frequent the jurong point outlet , the reviews online are not so favourable .
still , you can try and see for yourself .

same reason why i like this place ; pasta has the kind of texture i like and there are quite a variety of choices to go by . 


#3 mad for garlic (pasta)
http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/mad_for_garlic/

just note that #1 to #3 serves more than pasta , but i'm smitten with their pasta so all reviews are on pasta ~

why i like mad for garlic is also because of the pasta texture . not exactly spoilt for choice here though because there isn't much in the menu i am interested in .

but their spicy prawn aglio olio was the best i had so far and merl will second that .
got to wait till suntec city mall has finished their renovations to eat it again though .


#4 sliced fish curry rice
this is only available near my house , so you probably will only gain access rights if you visit .
haha just kidding , it should be available at any zichar stalls you frequent .

most people don't really know of it's existence since zichar stalls are more famous for their hor fun or fried rice , so this is sadly underrated . 

still the one that i bring you to eat will likely taste the best because i scouted :p
(will normally have this at least once a week)


#5 genki sushi
http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/Genki_Sushi__Orchard_Central_/

this is probably the only place in the list that has more exposure than the others .
why i like it is because the food is fresh and i really like the salmon series , as well as the tuna salad sushi .


#6 tea12 reach
http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/Tea_12_Reach______/

blogged about this in my 24th feb post so you can re read it again if you are interested .
taking into consideration i always go for the milk tea series , tea 12 reach has great milk tea series range .
i really like their froggy bubbles too (i dislike gong cha's milk tea series the most btw) .


#7 chai tea latte (coffee bean and tea leaf)
chai tea latte is also an underrated drink !

haha actually cuz well , most people that taste it come back to me to tell me its unique .
(up to now i only have one successful chai tea latte convert)
but i really like chai tea and coffee bean has the best hot chai tea latte .

starbuck's iced chai tea latte is good though .
i wouldn't recommend starbuck's hot chai tea latte .


#8 soy green tea latte (starbucks)
for soy green tea latte starbucks wins hands down , hot or iced .

this drink is rather pricy though but very worth it .


#9 himalayan tea latte (mccafe)
this is another tea latte fix i go for , but sadly mccafe has been increasing their prices .
still , it's good to have more options and it is also a calming beverage so i like it !


#10 stroopwafels
stroopwafels are my favourite snack and i normally try to keep a stash of them with me .
we even have a history to go by , so we are definitely bonded .

blogged about this before also but to cut the long story short , i received my first stroopwafels as a gift from my ex-boss who went to holland and brought them back (yes she likes stroopwafels too) .

after i finished them i was obviously rather sad as they didn't seem to be available in singapore .

merl hunted them for me at some strange place though and i was ecstatic then (thank u!)
what happens next is the interesting part cuz they became available at watsons , and now you can find them in fairprice or coldstorage (i think) too .

after which i ambitiously and hardworking-ly tried blogging about packet yam milk tea to make them available in singapore too ; but that failed cuz i still am unable to find packet yam milk teas in singapore .*gloom*

anyway ! for those of you that have been eating stroopwafels for some time now , you may want to try out this guide to eating stroopwafels and level up .

#11 takopachi
(added this in last minute)

takopachi is a stall that sells takoyaki (surprise surprise) .
the only outlet i know of is at takashimaya so do try if you drop by .

i absolutely adore takoyaki and i like my takoyakis to be made with great tasting flour .
however i will either go for ham and cheese or prawn and not the original octopus .
reason being is cuz somehow they always add red garlic to the octopus and i hate that . acks .

(wow tako is my least favourite place to get takoyaki from btw)

ok there we are done .
i would go on to do a pairing review on pairings i like but it's getting late and i need to sleep .
maybe another time ! thanks for dropping by :D

Yours truly is following the usual lazing around eating chocolates and nursing a calming drink sunday routine . for three sundays in a row . in the process of developing a craving for good coffee as well which i'm still deliberating cuz i can sense an impending headache . but since when have i been anything short of suicidal ?

i've got 2 blueprints to paint and 2 pieces to pencil sketch ; i don't have any time aside from my weekends which are largely used to go out . you could say i need more time , as apart from this hobby which may be more of a profession in future , i would like to try out different mediums and also to take up a new hobby that would allow me to work out occasionally .

(ive been considering purchasing a tablet for the new medium and dance for the new hobby)

this post is just to keep you updated and to keep you interested in following this space . sorry but i don't have much feeling to blog a philosophical post lately .

because i thought about it , and the way things are now , i prefer not to think about or involve my feelings .
i'm not going to get anywhere wandering in circles . also , i've never been the sort to let anything get me down ; not for long anyway :)

things that have past should remain in the past and so this is it . i'm happy with my current life and lifestyle so let's stop at that !

so uh . let's go back to posting as per normal aites .

been really busy the last few weeks (still busy now) , till off days are really a breather for me .
can you believe i have not turned on my laptop for more than a week ?
that's how hectic it's been .

got another pair of shoes recently at quite a good price i must say . which i wore out twice so far .
also officially my first pair of creepers :D

this is exactly how it looks like but the details on the front are abit different.

purchased mine from RUSH at JP if you are interested . $30 .

i'm not sure what triggered my current obsession with shoes ,
but one thing's for sure , i definitely love my slippers more .
shoes make my feet all sore and stuff even if they are pretty to ogle at :x

(slippers are pretty to look at too you know . well to me at least)

ootd ystd~
no full length mirror so this is the best i can do .
(or maybe i'm just lazy)

i'm also always constantly scouting for good places to take photos ,
found some pretty scenic spots , probably if anyone is interested or if opportunity permits , we can shoot there sometimes .

(figuring whether i should invest in a new camera . i really like shooting people and animals , but pretty much gave up on food shots)

here are 2 tank tops which i feel like getting !

now or never dark purple tank at newlook:
only reason why i didn't get it there and then was because i felt it was a little long .

basic tank from uniqlo . in blue .

and 2 dresses i got from katelove !

i like visiting katelove from time to time to check out their new arrivals .
b/w dresses can almost never go wrong .
navy blue maxi , one side slit on the right .
my favourite katelove outlet is at clementi (never visited the tampines one though) ,
cuz i get to drink tea12 too :D

ok my eye circles seem to be getting worse . i need slp ~

and before i go , crocodile fanart sourced from tumblr .
ciao !
