The Next Door Café

Hubby has been telling me about this Spanish joint at Siglap which was highly recommended by his colleague. Finally, we found an opportunity to try and it’s not other than his birthday. 😊

It was a pretty easy to find and access place but for those who drive, you might want to park opposite the restaurant as there are very limited parking lots along the road. It was a very cozy café indeed and I am really happy that they staff were very friendly and warmth. 

We browsed through the menu and decided to order some of their some starters like their meat balls, mix cheese, grilled Spanish octopus and their special of the day – Ortiguilla (a type of seafood tasted like oysters but much tastier). It was so delicious that we wanted a second serving. 😊

For mains, we ordered their squid ink paella. It was really good, similar like our very traditional claypot rice with charred rice. Super delicious! I do want to come back to try their original paella which is with seafood. I am very sure it will taste as good or even better.

We did not have desserts as we are happy with our wine which compliments the food so well. 😊

Happy Blessed Birthday my love! Wishing you happiness and may you be blessed with good health always. I love you!

Birthday At Jamie’s

July has always been a month of birthday celebrations but this year, due to this stupid Covid-19 situation, there are some restriction on the number of people could gather at a time. Well, since we have moved into Phase 2 of the Circuit Breaker, we are happy that we can finally be out and about to meet our friends whom we have not seen for a long time.

We arranged to meet for dinner at Jamie’s and it was such a wonderful feeling to be able to hang out with friends again though limited numbers. We ordered some dishes, and we did our catch up almost immediately when we met.

There were so much to catch up with each other after not meeting for more than 3 months as we tried to arrange to meet monthly or every 2 months. It was unfortunate that Jessie was not able to join us due to work, but we know we will meet again soon.

We also took the opportunity to celebrate Leng’s birthday and I baked her favourite brownie. 😊 We sang the song as softly as we can and enjoyed the birthday brownie cake as our desserts. Hahahaahahah….

Happy Blessed Birthday Leng and may you HUAT all the way! Wooohooo!

Returning To Church

I was happy to hear the news that we are able to return to church for mass and I was excited after booking my slot.

I was filled with excitement when I arrived at church entrance and it was like returning home after a long vacation. When I stepped foot into the main church, I was really so happy to be back to church for mass physically after attending online mass for months. 😊

Everything was the same except for no singing, no music and very much lesser people. Though it was a 45 mins session but I found it really fulfilling to be there.

Thank you Lord for calming the Covid situation so that we can return to church. Will be returning for mass soon again. 😊

Birthday Cupcakes

I am really thankful to everyone who has given me the opportunity to bake for you. My cousin placed an order from me for her friend’s birthday this time. :0) I am excited and very happy to bake. 😊

She ordered lemon cupcakes from me and I am happy to prepare a birthday note for her friend. I hope she like the cupcakes that I prepared for her.

Happy Blessed Birthday Melanie!
