Botanic Garden

A day trip to Botanic Garden!

http://www.sbg.org.sg/

I woke up early in the morning to prepare our picnic brunch.

Crab Meat Maki Sushi

I want to try making other types of sushi like Nigiri, Inari and even Temaki the next time round!

Scrambled Egg and Crabmeat Sandwich with Mayonnaise and Ham.

Fried Maggie Mee with Hotdog.

I give Dear a chance to choose between Fried Udon, Fried Vermicelli or Fried Maggie Mee, and the above is what he had chosen.

I have specially made a large portion of Jelly for Dear since he love it so much!

And here we are at the Botanic Garden!

The weather was scorching hot and humid in the afternoon.

This tree has been identified as a heritage tree and is featured on the Singapore $5 currency note and in postage stamps.

Beautiful White Swan

We saw couples taking wedding photos at the bandstand.

The Waterfall Aviary

The entrance fee to the National Orchid Garden is $5 per pax for adult.

Since 1859, orchids have been closely associated with the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The products of the Gardens' orchid breeding programme, which began in 1928, deserve a place where they can be displayed in their full splendour. The very design of these orchids is, one could say, 'hand-crafted' by the Gardens' horticultural staff, dedicated to bringing out the finest in any hybrid cross.

Over 1000 species and 2,000 hybrids are now found in the Gardens' collection, with about 600 species and hybrids on display. Every year, more vibrant and enduring hybrids are added on. So that all may admire and enjoy their diversity, richness and beauty, the National Orchid Garden now offers a permanent showcase, the largest display of tropical orchids in the world.

We left Botanic Garden in the late afternoon and headed to Orchard.

We went to Starbuck at Pacific Plaza to chill.

I had Toffle Nut Latte and Dear had Peppermint Mocha.

In the evening, we had our dinner at Pepes, Flavour of Indonesia located at Takashimaya.

We spotted Chef Eric dining there with his wife and friends while we are waiting for the staff to attend to us!

We ordered Calamansi Juice, Nasi Putih, Ayam Goreng Kelasan, Keropok, Kepala Ikan and Tahu Telur.

One simple word: SEDAP!!

The bill come up to a total of $72.50.

I find the pricing is still reasonable since they served savory and authentic Indonesian food.

Sweet and Sinful Indulgence

We are heading to the town!

We went for High Tea at Canele located at Paragon Basement.

The Macarons.

The traditional French pastry that tastes sweet as divine.

It cost $2.30 per piece. And $14.50 for 6 pieces. There are 12 favours to choose from.

If you would do some simple calculation, buying 6 pieces of macarons at $2.30 will only cost $13.80 instead of $14.50 per box. They are charging extra for the cost of the box and packaging~ I’ll thought that buying more will cost less, since it can encourage more sales.

But I still love their packaging and their paper carriers! They are just as sweet and lovely as their cakes!

Dear ordered their organic tea.

And this is my Iced Caramel Latte.

In the late evening, we settled our dinner at Ion Ochard Basement.

Gindaco Takoyaki

This shall be my third time trying it! It is crispy on the outside and has a soft and creamy texture on the inside. It taste better than any other Tako balls I have ever tried in Singapore.

We matched it with a cold Macha drink topped with Vanilla Ice Cream.

The deep-fried Breaded Pork stick. It was abit hard and dry on the inside.

Japanese Pancake with Cheese and Shrimp.

The Sand Cake from Arinco King. The cake is very soft and fluffy and it is topped with cream and raspberry.

Dear bought a Fred Perry Laptop Bag at Ion Orchard. It was love at first sight!

And I've splurged on clothings AGAIN..
