New places

As per usual after Saturday service,
My LG and I like to explore new places for good food and good spots for fellowshipping.
So one of them introduced this place, Chye Seng Huat Hardware.
It's a cafe in Lavender, not far from where our church is.

It doesn't look like a cafe at all, does it?
If you initially don't know this place, you might just walk pass a treasure without knowing it.
But if you look pass the old school metal gates, and into the glass windows,
this place and the interior is really cool.
Very artas (is this how you use this word?)

They have a open space by the side, and that day when we went there, the night is really beautiful.
Lots of stars =] (or they could be satellites, but they will be pretty stars to me.)

Their kitchen closes at 5PM, but we reached there around 7PM.
=[ so we went out to find some dinner then came back for coffee, tea and cakes.
Actually, their menu caters more to breakfast and afternoon snacks, instead of lunch and dinner.

hmm.. Didn't take pictures of what I ordered here because my phone ran out of batteries.
Plus it's too dark, and flash doesn't look good.
I ordered Hazelnut and ginger tea cake, and Earl Grey Tea, which comes in a very cute tea set. ^^
Their tea smells gentle and sweet, very nice. (And I know a few people who love to come here)
A very lovely place.
I would be going the next time in the afternoon with a fully charged battery. =]

But I really hoped that they would do something about the mosquitoes... =/

As for dinner, we went around and found out that the Lavender food court is just a small street away.
My brother always told me that it is one of the food courts where good food gathers, but never really had the chance to come here...

The beef noodles store looks really popular, but I was too hungry to join in this queue.

And I got myself some pork ribs noodles from the prawn noodles store.
Delicious as well.
I like prawn soup with the reddish colour,
it makes the soup looks so much more flavourful, and adds an extra depth to the deliciousness.

And we had a special service that day, I think I love you.
A belated valentines' service.
The guys in our Lg decided to give the girls flowers. =]

This one is mine. ^^

Awww... So sweet of them..

Wonder how people normally spend their valentine's day.

I spent it at work without knowing it was valentine's day = =

Back in the school days, I would buy chocolate and give it to friends 

and it really is a good excuse to thank them for looking after me all these times,

also a good way to give chocolates and show some love that are hard to express in normal day's context.

But, I guess I was too busy to prepare chocolates this year.. haha...

God bless and hope you had a wonderful weekend, and will have a wonderful weekday ahead. =]

Fight the Monday blues with a smile to the people around you, and you'll receive a smile in return. (Probably)
