Wild Honey

I'm extremely slow when it comes to exploring new places for food, for I'm often occupied with other stuff during weekends to venture outside. And also, I'm getting lazier in dressing up during weekends and just wanna stay at home. However, for EK's sake, we headed to Orchard for an extremely important agenda and also, his birthday treat. Initially wanted to visit Hatched, but decided to head to Wild Honey @ Mandarin Gallery instead. Finally had the chance to try out this place, for it was one of the to-go places for brunch across several food blogs that I've come across.

 

We had to wait for 30 mins before we could get a table :( The place was still packed even though it was almost 2.30pm by the time we were given a table. 

 

 

I was famished by the time we were shown a seat. I placed orders for 2 items and one of them was sold out ... boohoo! 

 

  

Got rather bored while waiting, so practising my shoots.  

  

Water served promptly, nice touch. 

 

 

Drinks, I love having my tea that comes in a nice pot, with matching cup+saucer. It just made the whole experience v English.

  

Leecher's recent love affair with poached eggs. He has been ordering them since we started out checking cafes. I reckoned that he finds it addictive seeing the runny yolks oozing out.

 

EK ordered char-grilled chicken sandwich. The portion is huge! Good for sharing though.

 

I love New York - softly scrambled eggs mixed with caramelized onions and imported smoked sturgeon with lightly toasted sesame bagel and own cream cheese. My my! The bagel tasted soooo good, on its own or paired with cream cheese. 

 

Though I'm not a fan of tomatoes, but seeing the tomatoes perk me up! They add a nice colour to the dish. 

 

I honestly can't rem what we were talking about for me to say "Aiyoh!" Caught on camera by Leecher. 

 

Boss Khim in the house, full and happy from his bdae treat :)

Appreciation

Celebrated our 1st yr anniversary with a quiet dinner. Managing a relationship is never easy - the 1st year has been smooth-sailing, with the occasional spats where I have to resist the urge to tear the hubby apart *winks* Perhaps, after almost 7 years together, we have known each other better, adjust to each others' mood swings. As a newbie in marriage, I don't have any words of wisdom to share, but just remember to appreciate each other and not take things for granted :)

PicPrints - 365 days

 

365 days of being married to you.

Though you're extremely absent-minded, you still remember to shower me with hugs & kisses whenever I'm feeling down.

Though you grumble about housework, you will help me with the laundry (I guess placing the laundry basket in the laundry room counts as helping, haha!)

Though your sense of direction sucks, you will always wanna bring me out for our dates. 

Though you tend to irritate me at times, I'm thankful that I've found you & decided to spend the rest of my life with you. 

Happy 1st year Anniversary, hubbs :) 

Ta Shee Blooming Oasis 大溪花海農場

Rushing to clear the pictures for the new launch before packing for my bags for yet another trip, this time round with Leecher :) Been travelling alone or with friends for the past couple of trips and I'm beginning to miss going on trips with the dearest *ok, maybe not that much, seeing how "prepared" he is on this trip, haha*

Here's another entry on our TW journey. This time round, we visited 大溪 Blooming Oasis, which is approx 10 min walk from Love Story Building.

 From here, you can see CKS Memorial Sculpture Park, which is worth a visit too.

Entrance fee is required to enter this farm. 

We were famished by the time we arrived. Settled our lunch at the restaurant first. 

 Full of energy after lunch, we ventured into the garden :)

 

First stop was Dream Lavender, where we took a lot of goofy pictures. The flowers were not in full bloom yet, but decent enough to act as a nice backdrop. With a nice backdrop, one can't help but camwhore :p

 

A proper picture this time round, haha! 

 

Leecher spotted something on top of the slope and it turned out to be a bell. Ring the bell and your wishes will all come true. 

  

We spotted a lot of graduates taking their pictures, reminded us of the times when we went back to NTU to take our graduation pictures. 

  

Preparing for the next batch of seedlings to be planted. 

  

Lim's family. 

  

Whacky poses, felt so silly doing this for there were a lot of onlookers, haha! 

Felt abit cheated, for the flowers were not really in full bloom :( 

 

Resting, the scotching sun is really taking a drain on my energy level. 

 

A lil farm in the middle of the park, where you can get to feed the animals for a min fee. 

  

This is what you get in a typical quarrel, haha! Kidding, we not that violent. 

  

Parents-in-law 

  

The behind-the-screen of picture taking, 辛苦了！
