The Tiramisu Hero

Went with Yutaki for the launch of Peggy's (a.k.a sixpegs) new cafe, The Tiramisu Hero!

Peggy started out selling her tiramisu from home & has now set up her own cafe with Aileen!

They serve food other than tiramisu of course! Their menu also features savoury items such as Macaroni & Cheese, as well as other desserts.

In case you're lazy to Google, the cafe is located opposite Jalan Besar Stadium :)

One key feature of their tiramisu (other than taste!) is that they come in these little jars!

They have tiramisu in many other sizes & packaging as well of course!

Layers & layers of tiramisu goodness!

If you order tiramisu (not off-the-counter), you can customise things like alcohol level & sweetness!

They also have various flavours like Milo & Strawberry (if I recall correctly)!

With Yutaki in the toilet! Check out the cute moustache decal on the mirror!

The mascot of The Tiramisu Hero is Sir Antonio, a cute cat with a moustache!

(you'll see him later)

Haha it was super hard to get the right placement for the moustache over my face in the photo.

Check out the ceiling pompoms! 

Overall the amount of effort for decor in the cafe is really impressive!

And...

No visit to The Tiramisu Hero is complete without a photo as Sir Antonio!

I love how they had this big head of Sir Antonio made & mounted on the wall!

Everybody took pictures with it!

(It's a tad bit too low for me to stand up fully haha)

Sir Antonio says Ze Tiramisu iz le very good!

(Actually I don't know what nationality he's meant to be lol. I think Italian maybe haha).

And... random picture taken in Ion's toilets.

On Saturday I spent the whole day watching 16 episodes of How I Met Your Mother.

I know. My life is exciting.

Ok toodles.

Antoinette

Couple of weeks ago Jane from Malaysia came to Singapore so Yutaki & I met up with her (2nd time!)(by the time I blog this we've already met a 3rd time because she came to Singapore again haha) & brought her to Antoinette for cakes!

I had never tried Antoinette before but had heard about it. We went to the Palais Renaissance branch on a Sunday & it was pretty quiet so go there to avoid crowds! Antoinette is pretty pricey though, if you get a full meal with a main, dessert & drink it'll likely end up around $50/person.

The macarons were mediocre... I haven't tried very many brands of macarons but Laduree's is definitely better & the prices are comparable. Get Antoinette's cakes instead!

I like the white cake the most! The exterior was sort of jelly/custard-ish & there was some kind of filling inside but I forgot what it was :X Each cake is around $8 :X

Was meh.

Not too bad! It's the nutty-flavoured type of dessert. Hazelnut maybe?

Jane & Yutaki!

Bracelet from Balenciaga, iPhone 5 case from F21 & crop top from Topshop (birthday gift from Vivaleng!)

(Yes I realise it's a little awkward that my post below also features the same skirt hahaha. I swear it's just a coincidence ok, not that I wore the same skirt for 2 consecutive days! *shifty eyes*)

Headed to Cineleisure for dinner afterwards at Shokudo!

Matcha smoothie with azuki beans.

Meh face. I don't actually like Shokudo's food that much. I haven't found a dish there that I would say is good & so far I've already tried the... meatball pasta, katsu curry, chicken karaage, rosti, pizza, sushi... We just go there because it's one of the few restaurants open late! #LifeOfANightOwl

But the desserts aren't bad (creme brûlée & waffles).

Ok that's it! You probably took 5 minutes to read this post but I took 3 hours to do it up T_T

This is why I've been lazy to update lol. How on earth did I do this regularly previously?!

I was thinking about it yesterday & I think that... during my 4 years at NUS I was actually a full-time blogger & a part-time student lol. Basically I went home every day (and I only had class 3 times a week) & bummed online. #NobodyDoesReadingsUnlessYouHaveTo. 

So. I had a lot of free time for blogging.

Goodnight!

Blogpost... #1000?

"Omg I'm actually eating my whole pizza. Normally I struggle to finish half omg."

...

*a while later*

"Left with a quarter pizza. I could eat it. But quite piggy. Such a dilemma."

...

*a while later*

"Staring forlornly at the quarter pizza"

...

*a while later*

"They have been banished to the recesses of my fridge. AWAY FROM ME."

"Far from my reach!"

"They will never be touched."

"Till tomorrow's breakfast that is..."

That was my Monday evening for you.

Outfit for dinner with Vivaleng the other day!

(In standard Sophie fashion, these were actually taken quite a long time ago)

| Bangle & ring - Amber Sceats | Bag - Chloe | Bracelet - $2 from a flea (lost it that day haha) |

Both top & bottom are from The Mayfair!

Quote "SOPHIEWILLOCQ" to get $1/piece!

(not valid for new arrivals)

Find them on Facebook as well!

Pictures were taken in front of the wood panels outside the B1 Cineleisure toilets, in case you were wondering. I know how important #OOTD backgrounds are! *cough* No but seriously, sometimes I come across a poor boyfriend being stuck taking a godzillion pictures for his girlfriend's Instagram #OOTDs hahaha. Always an amusing sight. Unfortunately also a likely role any boyfriend of mine will have to undertake.

Some of you may have realised that I've disabled my Formspring account, which at last count had... 23097 responses :O I thought I would feel sadder about it, but in the end it just feels like that part of my life (hahaha) is behind me. I actually had my Formspring for what, 3+ years? :O Time flies.

I still think the convenience of being able to ask & answer questions on one platform makes sense though, so I may decide to start again on Ask.fm since it allows anonymous questions :) 

I'll see how it goes! 24hrs/day are just not enough.

P.S. I just divided 23097 by (3 x 365)... I answered an average of 21 questions a day... #nolife

Just a little reminder for today, especially when you're feeling discouraged about the goodness of people nowadays. Indifference these days tends to be the norm & in fact you start to see more of people actively trying to create problems, or even ruin, the lives of others for no reason other than some kind of sadistic personal gratification. You don't even need to look further than comments made online with the purpose to intentionally hurt someone. It's become so common that people just brush it aside & say, "it's the Internet", "free speech", "be the bigger person" - blah blah blah, as if these are acceptable normal. But why doesn't anyone think, were any of these even necessary? Have we lapsed so much that discussions are no longer about kindness, but tolerance towards unkindness?

Anyhow. Just feeling a little discouraged this week. The Thais really make good advertisements:

 

Unfortunately I don't really believe in karma. I think real life has shown far too often that it doesn't really apply & there are so many instances of suffering that I don't think anyone could ever really legitimately deserve (abnormal instances of heinous crimes aside). And anyway, being good should just be about... being good. Not about rewards. I hope we'll all still be teaching that to our kids next time. xo
