Pfft.
If they informed us earlier, we could have ordered Lean Bento yesterday! Then it crossed my mind that it will be a very looong time (if ever) that it'll just be us 3 seniors for the day. So I suggest that we eat out for lunch. Somewhere 'far'.

Accompanied my colleague to settle some admin issues at her child's new school and we visited this pretty new cafe in this quiet neighbourhood.
Open Crumb Cafe is an offshoot of a pretty well know bakery, The Bread Project. Apparently helmed by a Le Cordon Bleu graduate?
Should I keep my expectations high…? 🤔
The sight of freshly baked loaves greet you at the entrance... Mmmmm...!

We were like, "Sinseh? Selling what? Medicine?" Heyy... you never know!

My cousin Timah was free that evening and we discussed about possible eateries to check out. It was between Peachy's In The Secret Hideout and The Lab SG. However, the pics Tim sent over from her previous experience at The Lab SG really did me in.

Spontaneity works well for us, somehow.
There was a long queue just to get into the cafe and there was also some mini food bazaar right beside it (between Jalan Pinang & Jalan Pisang). I think it happens every weekends (seriously not sure)??

That and the fact that this cafe-bistro is helmed by the celebrity Chef Sufiyan Safee got me really curious to check this place out.
Last I heard, they don't allow any walk-ins? Reservations only (they'll only hold your table for 15mins max, so don't be late!).

Eversince I joined this FB group: Halal Cafe & Restaurants in Singapore, I've been very much enticed to try at least one of the recommended restaurants/eateries/cafes.
One of the oft-mentioned place is Cookwerx by Chef Taj, located at East Village (also known as the mini Halal food hub). Have you ANY idea, just how many Halal restaurants, cafes, shops there are at East Village?!

And recently, we've been seeing one too many posts on poached eggs/all day breakfast/egg benedict/egg royale and anything to do with runny, gooey egg yolks. We want a chance to kill some yolks, too!
And we find out about Flavour Flings, a Muslim-owned cafe tucked in a quiet corner of Hougang (quite near our Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871350.post-6467981498453995972015-04-29T15:57:00.002+08:002015-04-29T17:43:07.320+08:00Tuckshop ExpressI want to start by saying that social network (or the Internet, in general) has been pretty awesome for Muslim foodies in SG.
For the longest time, we've been calling for Subway to go Halal and someone finally took the initiative and create a Halal sandwich joint, Subway-style. It start with Which? Sandwich, followed by Toasties and now, Watsub.
And then there's this:

And that someone is a Muslim! Yay, halal handmade cookie shop, finally!
Located in East Village, where halal food is available in abundance; you need to walk in all the way to where Cold storage is. Then you'll spot it (provided you're lucky enough to sniff your way to the shop).

It was a spontaneous meet-up with my old-time pal and her family of four. Her hubby suggested, "…this burger place at Bedok North…"
I knew right away that I'm finally getting my hand on these juicy burgers!

We decide to forgo the usual Indian food-Nasi lemak affair and go for something different. That's when we came upon this shop. Maybe we've always overlooked it or maybe it's newly opened but we eventually got curious.
Early in the morning and already soooo many dishes on display!

Layout is spacious and it was quiet on weekday lunch.
2 of us opted for the lunch set which includes the soup of the day, Panbiff (home-made beef patties with mashed potato & lingonberry jam) as their mains and dessert of the day.

We used to troop down to Ayam Penyet Ria at Bedok Point but we've stopped since they moved to Bedok Mall.
We were planning to have some fried chicken at Arnold's in City Plaza one day, when we saw a poster in the lift, advertising this new restaurant called Dapur Penyet.

It was a colleague's birthday and Le Boss was somehow craving for Nasi Padang so the wife came upon this grand idea of bringing all of us along just so that we can try many dishes at one go.
She's been aiming to try out the food here because she always noticed it whenever she drive by Katong area.

He came upon this 'old skool' estate during his morning cycle and want us to have the experience of 'being taken back in time'.
It's a quaint estate with much of their infrastructure and amenities left intact (save for some touching-up).

I almost thought that I won't be blogging ever again.

It's actually a Western food stall inside Jia Wei Foodcourt, at the ground floor of Starhub Green.
Bored with the usual offering, my colleagues and I always while about the lack of food variety in our work area. We wonder if there'll ever be a Halal Western food stall.

My phone got water-logged right on the day when I gave birth and I had to borrow my cousin's iPhone 4.

Something familiar, homely yet.. different?
Settled on heading to Bedok Mall. Over there, it's either Ottoman Kebab & Grill or Ayam Penyet Ria. Seeing that a couple of peeps in our group aren't too keen on Mediterranean stuff, we settled on the latter.

We've always been 'buffet partners' and it's only right we both go together to explore.
Chose to go on a weekday to avoid unnecessary crowd.
