FIVE & DIME - Brunch

Alighting at Cityhall MRT Station, both of us went up on the bus (195) and 5 stops later,

Juvena and I reached our destination.

FIVE & DIME

MENU

FISH & CHIPS ($20)

LOVE LOVE LOVE the hand cut fries as well as the texture and batter of the fish & chips! The best part was, the dip that came along were fantabulous (super shiok)! The Mayonnaise that came along had herbs and onions in them that made it super duper tasty (that's just what I tasted, there could be more) where one dip is never enough. Wished they had given more of that!

WAFFLES ($15)

On the other side of the table were our waffles to share. Topped with Vanilla Ice Cream and Strawberry Ice Cream, Caramelised BANANA and Strawberry drizzled with Maple Syrup! My verdict? Love the consistency of the ice cream, not sure if it is "home made", but would have hoped that the waffles were much "hotter" and of course have the maple syrup served aside instead of soaking my waffles. Let the customer decide how much they would like to soak the waffles can. Who like soggy waffles? (though I love soggy pancakes).

Five & Dime Signature Chocolate

Initially, I was telling Juvena all I wanted were desserts and a hot cuppa chocolate cause the weather has been pretty chill. All I wanted was some hot piping food in my hands. And this was just right. Love the richness of the chocolate, and how at the bottom, there were thick remains of the chocolate for me to scoop out and taste. Super shiok! For all chocolate fans, TRY THIS. 

And that's Juvena on the other end. HAHAHA. 

Was complaining to Juvena and almost everyone possible about how thin and ugly my eye brows looked the other day. Really terrible. Buey Ta Han (cannot take it). But Life still goes on.

And we rolled to the back of the area to take #OOTD picture

Have fun laughing at me.

Exposing the elephants in me, On me is everything from Bangkok except the Leather Jacket from TheClosetLover, Clutch from Charles & Keith and my flippers from StudioTangs. 

Ok SEE YA! 

Still deciding what to buy for christmas?

 BUY THE TROVE I ANGELICALLY PUT TOGETHER HERE

HELLO DECEMBER!!!!!!

I think this is one of the more.. unique days when I go against all odds and for a #LOTD

Yes, I heard the thunder roar, saw how the lightning came piercing through but I still wore this out, because I am a responsible blogger (actually more like a hiao po - because this dress is new!).

Not very sure why I was so happy. Please put your thumb over my face. Even I can't stand it. *face palms*

See how long the dress is and how I'm wearing flats? (See below for .GIF) 

*cues*

Got Ede to help me with the photos cause... if you do follow me often, I HARDLY post an #LOTD. I wanted to pass off with a #feetoftheday. But obviously fail right..

Just look at this.

Anyways, the reason I am here is because THIS IS THE MONTH OF CHRISTMAS. 

(ok, quite 讲废话，BUT, 我有好料！)

YES YES YES! 

As you all know, I have been writing for VanityTrove for a quite a few times (actually numerous) and they have very kindly selected me to do a special BLOGGERS' + VANITYTROVE  collaboration.

This time round, they are allowing bloggers to be the angels behind the troves. 12 selected bloggers will be crafting their individual troves for sale (and my fattest secret is, I VERY NICE ONE. I make sure all the products I selected are of top top top quality and you will definitely use it!) 

Because only when I believe in the product, then will I write about the product or even introduce to you. 

I'm honest just like that.   x)

There will also be a BLOGGERS' TROVE GIVEAWAY on the 27th of December 2013. So if you are looking for an incredible trove this Christmas, STAY TUNE and READ MY BLOG and of course www.VT.com. 

To add on to this glorious giveaway... there is also the PREENK giveaway. Won't you want to spin around in the maxi with me? HAHAHA. Ok, this sounds extremely wrong, but it is really of such great quality and I love how light the fabric is, so that it sways around prettily. I LOVE MAXI(s).

You know it is so so so so so hard to find the perfect weather today - because there is none? 

It was raining and drizzling and raining again. Vicious cycle! 

\\\

In all light-hearted affairs...

PREENK is gonna merry their customers by giving out an exclusive Vanity Trove gift with ANY Purchase to the first 20 and.. you can definitely enjoy a 10% off on any regular price items. 

You can find them at Level 2, Ladies Department, Isetan Lido.
