had a sudden urge to blog while studying for Derivatives and Securities despite it being 1am in the morning. it felt as though it was just yesterday when i was ranting to my friends about SWOT VAC and exams. before i know it, i'm done with 2 papers already. glad that time is passing by so quick. this means holidays are nearing!!! :) so excited for the few mini trips planned out this july - JB, KL, Melaka, and Bali.
during the last week of school, rachel and i visited this newly opened macaron shop located at 30 hardware lane called La Belle Miette. its a really small shop that fits 2 petite coffee tables and 4 chairs, with minimal walking space.
fell in love with their macarons right after my first bite into the rose flavoured one at charlene's 21st, and i've been craving for them ever since. their macarons are chewy, full of flavour, and with just the right amount of sweetness! best macarons i've tasted.
we both tried as many flavours as we could, and everyone of them tasted so yummy! here's their current menu: 72% Cocoa Single Origin Chocolate (Venezuela), Caramel a la Fleur de Sel, Cherry Blossom & Sake, Ginger & Macadamia, Hazelnut Belle Miette, Lemon, Olive Oil & Vanilla, Pink Grapefruit, Pistachio, Raspberry, Rose, Strawberry & Vanilla, Violet & Blueberry.
surprisingly, my favourites were Violet & Blueberry, Rose, and Lemon. this shows how delicious their macarons are, as i don't really fancy non-chocolate macarons sold elsewhere.
their box and logo design is hand drawn by a melbourne graphic artist, and every charm hanging from the brocade tells a macaron story. how detailed and pretty can it get! their boxes come in two different sizes, and the only difference between the complimentary and gift boxes is that the former's soft covered and the latter's hard.
come to think of it, there is not a single shop in singapore that solely sells macarons. this little sweet treat has ought to be more popular!
i had such an awesome night out. then again, when are times spent with them "un-fun"? it was crazy and hilarious, a state i'll try my best not to be in again. my life long friends, a title that they are most worthy of. to our dear queen cheryl, happy birthday. <3
checked out another chic place on little lonsdale with the girls during the weekends. its a cafe and art studio combined! love the vintage furnitures, and how the place is decorated so messily, yet still looking neat and pretty!
simple yet stylish.
kenneth had japanese sakae. it came in a cute little glass bottle, which is then reused to serve water to customers. 
please do not go there on an empty stomach! the portions are really small, regardless of whether its a main or an entree. kenneth and i shared those 5 dishes above - 4 mains and 1 entree. we weren't full at all! having said that, the food was awesome. :D the tempura flour was crispy, the pork was so soft and sweet, and the tuna, salmon and king fish were so fresh. high quality japanese food, as good as nobu or maybe better since its less commercialised. 
the bill was so cute! be prepared to pay an average price of 15 bucks per dish. will i go back again? yes, definitely.
this was the most successful birthday party i've ever thrown for someone. my brother thought i was going to bring him for fine dine, but it turned out to be a home party with lots of unhealthy fried food, drinks, balloons, people and noise. 180 degrees difference. miss that night!
a pretty card for mother's day from the four of us to our dearest mum. i think this is one of the simplest yet sincere present that a child can give to a mum. mothers are really one of the greatest people on earth, they love their children unconditionally despite receiving rejection that often comes from their children. to all mothers out there, happy mother's day!
