Artisan Bread at Brasserie Bread, Banksmeadow

Finally it's the weekend... yeah and went to in the middle of no where industrial area to find this Artisan Bread cafe. There is no off street parking near the front of the cafe, so have to drive down further to a nicely shaded area. :D

First we walked past a glass window which you can see a lot kids playing with the dough making their own bread. Then we walked into the cafe/shop area. When I walked into the shop and saw that this cafe is packed with people, thinking this must be good!! So we tried to locate ourselves for a table... luckily we didnt need to wait and find ourselves seats. :D

Then reading the menu... everything looks so yummy and think which one should I order?? I want to try so many things... can I fit all of them in? So I asked, "can we share??" so now at least I can tried 2 different things! good!! :) But we ordered our food first, then dessert later.

After finishing our main... thinking oh... still have room for desserts... since we were here... must try their signature dish... Sourdough Pancakes Stack!!! The honeycomb cream and seasonal berries sauce are sensational.

Japanese Feast at Masuya

After a long week, went to this underground Japanese Restaurant in the city. Before me there was a group of people trying to get a table without booking. The waitress nicely said to them, "sorry we are fully booked until 9:30pm". Ok, I was thinking, I have booking! :D (The dining hours has separated into two sessions, 6pm and 8pm.)

The waitress showed me my table and I comfortably settle myself in and waiting for other to come.

From :( to :)

Today I have been really moody... nothing cheer me up... One of my friend reminded me to get chocolate or some sweets to bring up my spirit. And the idea to get cakes from La Renaissance came to my head!

At lunch time, I went out and got myself 1 cake, 1 tart and 2 macarons. By the time I finished my cake, I had a satisfying smile on my face. Thank you my friend. :)

Passion de Pierre

Later in the afternoon, I had my tart and my boss came and saw me eating "that little piece of delightful cake"!

Strawberry Flan

Argh... happy moments! :D

Truffle Wagyu Burger @Plan B by Becasse [Closed]

After reading a lot of reviews, finally I have a chance to go to Plan B by Becasse to try their wagyu burger.
I went there around 12:30pm. This tiny cafe wasnt as crowded as expected. However, we have to wait for the burgers for more than 20 minutes. I am suspecting a lot of the customers have been pre-ordered and just come to pick them up.
During the wait, we managed to get one of the three tables available. The burgers finally arrived. Since we were all very hungry, we gobble them all in really quick.
Here is the burger... yum yum!!
