Oven Roasted Bone Marrow | $21 A dish that looks small but boasts a bold flavour. And because of how full-bodied the execution of the bone marrow was, I’d recommend sharing this lest you get sick of it too easily. I enjoyed spreading the bone marrow on the garlic bread and pairing it with the beef - essentially constructing the different elements of this dish together because it complemented one another so well. The sweetness from the caramelised onion was a nice touch, but like the grilled lamb short ribs - the strong flavours got too overwhelming after a while. Rate:🌟🌟🌟

Sakoshi Bay Oysters | $30 Fresh and plump oysters which I enjoyed. It was dressed with raspberry, vinaigrette, and ikura, though the raspberry wasn’t very apparent to me. Rate:🌟🌟🌟

Grilled Lamb Short Ribs | $19 Can understand why people say that the short ribs are on the gamier side, but I personally thought it was manageable, perhaps even worth it because the meat was really fall of the bone kind of tender! And helping to balance that gaminess was the interesting choice of pomegranate and toasted almonds which gave both a crunchiness and sweetness to the lamb. I did think that by the end, the lamb was too greasy which made it feel much heavier on the palate. Rate:🌟🌟🌟

Earl Grey Ice Cheese Tart. Never knew this innocent-looking cheese tart will be SO GOOD. I love how you can taste the earl grey AND cheese at the same time. Definitely prefer this over any other cheese tarts in SG!!! They even have other flavours like chocolate etc and I can't wait to go back there tomorrow to get more. Please grab one to try when you are nearby!!!! :')

Mothers' Day Berries Cake Flor never disappoints and this year they had a special cake for mother's day! Like how light the cake was and how it's not too sweet. Can always count on Flor for their perfect cakes.

Pumpkin Pie Boyfriend dropped by my place with sweets from Flor! He got me this cake (pie?) since I love pumpkin. We both enjoyed it very much, the sweetness was subtle. First bite was the best, you could really smell the aroma of the pumpkin.

Finally had the chance to try their cakes! This Earl grey banana chocolate cake is a delight to eat! 😍 Their ice cheese tarts are good as well, but i dont get why must they freeze it... #onnomnomnom #yummy #florpatisserie

Wakakusayma & Cacao Royal Wakakusayama is smooth Kyoto-uji matcha cream cake. Cacao is chocolate sponge sandwiched with dark choc ganache.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMSIE! ❤️

Citron Tart The Citron Tart ($11.47) features a golden trio of orange, grapefruit and pomelo on top of lemon curd, orange marmalade and an almond tart base. This is juicy, tangy and citrusy, with the sour and sweet notes complementing each other perfectly. This reminds me of a Japanese paper balloon - so pretty🎏!

Mont Blanc Delicate strands of French chestnut cream piped onto a shortcake of chantilly and sliced Japanese chestnuts. Not a fan of Mont Blanc, but this cake may just start to change me. The Chestnut cream was light & Fluffy texture, tasted Mildly flavourful and creamy. Strawberries were fresh as well.

Flor Patisserie -

Oven Baked! Not Fried Wings! Simple love this non fried wings. Eat with less guilt and so good. Crispy skin with tender meat. Smelling great with the herbs coating the skin. (Pricing: either $7.90/$8.90 for 3 or 4 pieces. Oops I forgot!)

[Limited] Sarawak Laksa ($16.90 nett). It's only available on some Sundays, and there are limited portions per day, so call first to specifically reserve a bowl before heading down. 🔸 I liked this very much. It's more subtle and has a smoother rounder taste. The laksa paste consists of sambal belachan, tamarind, lemongrass, herbs and spices, and coconut milk, mostly airflown from Sarawak itself. And this explains why it is only available on certain Sundays. Hope you'll enjoy this aromatic bowl of Sarawak laksa as much as we did. 🔸 [Invited Tasting]

Chilli Crab Pasta ($34.90 nett). This is my double shiok pasta - first shiok is the generous amount of crab meat mixed with the pasta and the large crab claw atop the pasta; the second shiok being the super, super, spicy chilli crab gravy. The angel hair pasta was cooked just right too, everything was done well here! 🔸🔸 [Invited Tasting]

Yummy In The Tummy Tried the prawn risotto and oxtail lasagne. Prawn risotto: slightly wetter than usual risotto but it was the most amazing flavour ever. Could taste the prawn and herb flavour in every bite. Prawns were slightly over cooked, which was a bit disappointing for Jamie’s standard. But seriously, the risotto was so amazing I loved it more than the prawns. Oxtail lasagne: fresh tomato base, go in expecting less béchamel than a normal lasagne recipe and you won’t be disappointed. Oxtail would have been better if it was in chunks, unfortunately it was shredded and ended up smushy against the al dente lasagne sheets.

Creamy And Yummy In The Tummy My boyfriend ate the 150g burrata, I didn’t. He described it as “creamy and yummy, recommended”.

My Favourite Bread The garlic bread comes in four, but gobbled two before realising it’s photo-worthy too. Crusty on the outside but super fluffy on the inside, bread was totally not dry or tough. Garlic and herb flavour was amazing, and goes super well with the mozzarella inside it. Totally recommended!!!!!!

Throwback to another cafe hopping experience -- this time, at upper Thomson road. | Pictured is a bacon sandwich and "chips" while behind is a cordon bleu. The last time I went, the food wasn't very special and I was a little miffed about the "chips" which just turned out to be lightly salted crisps 😔 I do seem to remember that their food was slightly cheaper than the usual $16-20 in other nearby cafes, though. | Their interior, with its white tables and brown chairs, has a clean Scandinavian colour aesthetic that was quite minimalist. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was quite empty and we weren't packed like sardines in an echo-filled hall unlike in other cafés, so that was good. | Unfortunately, they're closed until further notice so I'm not sure if you'll be able to give them a try even when Phase 1 ends 😕 But I hope this picture gives you cafe vibes and reminds you of the times where we could meet friends over a cuppa and marbled cafe tables! ☺️ | .

Neighbourhood Gem Was looking for a place to chill after a hike at macritchie with my friend and chanced upon this place! Turns out to be such a great choice because we were also looking for a spacious/quiet place with free wifi so we could do some trip planning 😛 And this place fits all our criteria! A lovely, cozy neighbourhood cafe. The service was very friendly too. Food was pretty delicious though nothing too spectacular. Tried the ondeh-ondeh latte which was so pretty and delish! Love the wooden cups and delicate mini spoons (I have a thing for cutlery hahaha)✨ Wouldn’t mind coming back here to hang out / for a cuppa if I’m around the area.

Sparkling Yuzu Pie Windowsill Pies was located at the back of the Upper Thomson Road, which might not be in the best location for people to notice, but their Sparkling Yuzu Pie (S$8.00) was definitely noticeable. Similar to a key lime pie, this one had got a tangy curd but with a taste of yuzu, which carried this sweeter aftertaste. The surface of the curd was glazed with a layer of sweet Ume (plum) gel which might not be as noticeable as the yellow curd. And for those who wanted a sweet finish, aim for those white chocolate dallops at the top. It was quite a fun pie to have too, because it gave out a light fizzy sensation from sparkling candies sprinkled on top. As a personal preference, I thought that the crust could be more crumbly rather than flaky, but it was still a nice dessert to a good dinner.

I sPIES my little eyes on PIES. Coconut Lime Vodka and Pineapple Passionfruit Yogurt flavs. The coconut lime curd was smooth and well balanced between sweet and sour while the pineapple curd was more gritty with pineapple pulp and passionfruit glaze. The homemade granola white choc was a nice addition!

Dean & Deluca Caramel cheesecake ( right ) at $8 a slice, portion of the cakes are much larger than other cafes. Somehow the caramel is quite mild and its not as sweet or heavy flavored as what I've expected . The cheese itself is not too overpowering too thus one can finish it easily. Pair it w a cuppa comforting hot chocolate at $6 and your day is made. Mango Passionfruit Cheesecake ( left ) $9.80 a slice. The combination of both the fruits makes it sweet yet tangy at the same time, which tingles your tastebuds! Pretty interesting and refreshing plus the fact that the fruits topped are fresh.

Iced Latte @ $6 Smooth & strong taste latte. No order anything but maybe will try their breakfast one day?

Linguine Pesto Chicken - Okay. (sry for blur image) Linguine Pesto Chicken and Spaghetti Carbonara were both too creamy. Taste was just okay, average but wouldn't pay full px for it. Chill vibes. Didnt try the beverages.

1 For 1 Used the burpple 1 for 1 to redeem the clams and got 1 more bag of Sri Lankan crabs. For the crabs, we got the Ultimate Curry which was nice but isn't something we are used to if you are a fan of Black Pepper and Chilli crabs. Love the Caboodle mix and Louisiana Garlic Butter for the clams though. Quite pricey even with the 1 for 1.

Captain's Boil ($99) Gave up trying to take a glamorous shot here because it's going to get messy anyway. The captain's boil comes with Sri Lankan crab, tiger prawns, Venus clams, Loligo squids, bratwurst sausages, corn on the cob, potato and onion all boiled till cooked and served with three dipping sauces - lemon garlic butter, Thai green chilli and regular red chilli. However, I wouldn't recommend this dish because the seafood weren't fresh enough to be tasty on their own - they were really plain and needed the help of the dips. Would get the seasoned seafood next time!

Mum's Pasta ($16) Got 2 for the price of 1 thanks to Burpple Beyond! Pardon the bad photo, but each bag of pasta has more seafood than it looks! While the linguine isn't al-dente, they're sauteed in a tasty sweet & sour brown sauce that's absolutely fragrant once the staff cut open the bag. The tiger prawns and venus clams were fairly fresh, but the sauce really took the show 👍
