Angelina

/ / m a i n / /

hello friends!! 

i'm gonna share about a new 'cafe' that i tried that is relatively underrated in singapore currently:)

underrated as in its not all over instagram or one of the local hipster cafes if you know what i mean!

the name of this cafe is called Angelina, such a pretty name!!

it originated from france and its mainly famous for their desserts:)

they only have one outlet in singapore currently and its at capitol piazza!

so as you can imagine D and i were quite amazed by the atas-ness of it all when we reached the place hahaha, very unlike the usual cafes in singapore where its more laidback and casual!

we were served complimentary bread as starters and it was not bad, though i prefer mine to be on the softer side!

daniel ordered the smoked salmon sandwich and it was not bad according to him, and very filling as well even though this dish isn't considered a 'main' actually.

it came with salad and fries!:)

and i ordered croque madame!

which i had high expectations for after reading a review somewhere that said it was the best croque madame the reviewer has every tasted haha.

top notch for presentation i have to say, very photogenic, from the classy plate with gold rimmings to the food and the minimalist table!

but at the end of the day, food quality determines whether i'll go back there again haha.

this was good to me!! its a simple dish with cheese and ham but done so well, the flavours went well together and the bread was soft!!

i have to specially mention the fries as well, it was so darn good i might have liked it better than the main overall hahaha.

overall, angelina is slightly on the pricier side, but the menu really varies in price in my opinion, you can get a meat based main for like $30-$40? or like the items we ordered above (normal brunch stuff) for a reasonable $16-20.

i think the food quality was good and i wouldn't mind going back again to try out their other dishes!!

but D said he didn't like the environment haha, it did feel abit... "atas" and "up there" if you get what i mean, probably the tai tais would like it, but we prefer good ol' laidback cozy vibes at local cafes definitely:) 

after brunch we walked into their patisserie section, which is linked to the restaurant side.

the patisserie section is equally gorgeous!!

here are some photos taken in the interior hehe. 

i ended up buying 2 of their desserts to go, for my brother's birthday.

mind you it wasn't cheap at all sobs, $10 each!!

my fussy bro didn't seem to appreciate it that much hmmph.

ok sorry for the digression, the desserts were alright, not bad, but not worth $10 in my honest opinion!

took some otds outside afterwards cos this place is so photogenic!!:)

i'm wearing an old piece from threadtheory!

the fit is so good and its a gorgeous piece:)

took the bus home afterwards and the bus was empty!!

so... we shamelessly took selfies hahaha

daniel really likes this photo! 

he say we got "eye smile" hahah more like cannot even see eyes!!

hehe thank you for accommodating me all the time, even when i wanna take 101 selfies and it more or less looks the same hahahah

t'was a good day!

till the next;

hola amigos!

abit irrelevant but i just felt like saying some spanish today hehe.

i'm so glad my work time is only 3 hours a day, because that means i get to spend time with loved ones and not miss out on quality time with them!

so some time back i had a hearty italian lunch with momsie to counter em midweek blues!

we dined at cugini, an authentic traditional italian trattoria.

87 Club Street

#01-01 Singapore 069455

the restaurant had a cornflower blue theme and it was oh so lovely.

we got the truffle ravioli and parma ham pizza.

the ravioli may not look very appetizing but i assure you it was da bomb! soo good.

the pizza on the other hand was only so-so imo, the ham was good but pizza crust abit lacking.

 the store front was so pretty, but sadly i got photobombed by another customer who was sitting at the porch hmm.

 porcelain printed top- topshop

white pleated maxi skirt- threadtheory

(i'm wearing xs for the skirt and it fits well!)

 looking abit washed out here cos i was feeling bloated/abit unwell from eating too much lol.

also, a lip colour would have made a world of a difference! 

definitely gonna stash a lippie in my bag the next time!

till the next;

Cerulean

/ / p r e / / 

Went for Athena faculty outing some time back with my batchies and i'm finally posting this after yunmei nagged at me today hahaha! Okay la more like kindly reminded me not to neglect this space XD 

I know its a social event but i was kinda lazy to blow dry my hair properly so it looks kinda messy :x

& i remember i promised a hair post too so yes i'll get it done soon!

Went for a brown based eyeshadow paired with gold shimmers in the centre of the lid and dark brown as definition for the outer corners. 

I think this would be suitable for a daily look considering how the colours used are all neutral tones:)

Before meeting the rest i had brunch with yunmei and jiahao and D'Good Cafe first!:) 

Finally got to try this place after hearing so much about it:)

Pricing was surprisingly really decent! We ordered a Waffle with Ice Cream and Eggs Benny to share and the total came up to $10.25 per pax:) Prices stated on the menu are already inclusive of GST and service charge, and don't belittle these cos they add up to alot!

The eggs benny are pretty decent! Nothing extraordinary but not bad as well:) I just wish cafes don't use vinaigrette dressing for the salad when it comes to eggs benny cos it does meddle with the taste of the hollandaise sauce :x

Waffles! This is pretty good:) Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside:)

Oh and do try their drinks! I didn't order but jiahao let me try his chocolate milkshake or smth and it was really rich and decadent! Good for people who love sweet stuff ;)

Another awesome thing about D'Good is that the ambience and interior deco is super pretty! It has 2 levels and each level is beautifully decorated:) I like the second floor best cos they had the swings hehe. Not very practical when eating main meals but nice for just chilling out and stuff:)

 

Yunmei helped me take some OTDs as well since the background seemed quite nice:)

Printed Skirt from MDS
Bag from Lovets

& these are a few taken before heading out:)

Review(MDS Skirt): Bought this at their flagship store at Plaza Sing and there was a discount for purchase of two items and above so me and nikks got matching skirts;) We both loved the print of this skirt which is a really pretty baroque mix of cerulean blue, dark blue and light blue. Its made of stretchy polyester mix which i think is good cos it makes the fit better. I got mine in size S and it fits really well, usually for these pencil/A-line skirts the waist area will be too loose for me but because of the material for this one it fits well. It features two silver zips at the front too for easy wearing, which i think is a nice twist to the conventional/boring side zip. The only thing i would say could be improved is the length, its definitely on the short side and i won't recommend it to anyone taller than 1.6 :x But overall for me personally i really like the print of the skirt so its a good investment;) 

We took a last photo after that and headed down to the faculty outing venue:)

& this is the venue for Athena FO! It was held at NUS Guild House, and it def does not look like a school lol, too atas! More of like a ballroom haha.

Photo taking time with the pretty balloons!!

Took a combined photo with Nat/Mat and Salubres as well, cos we had a joint performance with them for Pompeii!

The guys' shot turned out blurry oops!

The girls' one is really nice though i have to say:)

And more photos at their makeshift photobooth, which is basically made of coloured crepe paper. But still better than nothing!

Altos!

Sops! 

I was like lets take silly photos and then everyone was like "HOW???" and made me demo so okayyy hahaha

In the end we just stuck to glam hahaha (except belle cos she's cute like that XD)

The guys (tenors at least) are obviously better at this silly thing hahaha

Basses! Ever so prim and proper hahah

Nah who am i kidding XD

Im glad that as performers we got to take pics with the pretty banner before it got removed! Most people didn't get to take with it cos they removed it when everyone arrived.

Hehe everyone looks so cute here ^^

<3

Selfie with mui and tzeshe!

And yingxian!:)

clarissa and yumei:)

final shot with juniors before calling it a day!


To be honest i've never liked social events much :x Its just too crowded and there's so many people you can't help but feel conscious somehow.
And i'm just not good at making friends (too shy><)
But i guess when you spend it with such awesome company it makes everything much better :)

Till the next;

xoxo
