Happy Birthday Singapore!

Photobucket
It's National Day today and Singapore turns 46! What's better than a late brunch on this public holiday? Plus, the weather was really good. Jotham says (quote him, not me!) the government/army fire some bullets/stuffs into the sky to disperse the grey clouds so it hardly ever rains during NDP! Not sure how accurate that is, but I'll believe him!

Our initial plan was to go Rider's Cafe @ Sixth Ave but we forgot to make reservations and turns out, the place was really popular and had a 1.5 hrs waiting list ): So we made our way to Dempsey and stumbled upon this lovely place tucked in a corner while looking for a parking lot! Good thing though, they serve brunch till 4.30pm!! (I was insistent that this was a brunch date though it was about 1pm when we actually sat down to eat hahaha)

Our best attempt at food photography below! I had yummy crepe while Jotham ordered the big breakfast. Those cherry tomatoes (in second picture) has got to be the best and sweetest tomatoes I've ever eaten. No joke, they literally burst with flavourful juice in your mouth. As usual, the boy can't resist mussels nor can I resist truffle fries so we had them both as sides!

Then we went home to watch the parade on tv while nomming on pizza which took ages to arrive. Perfect way to spend the (albeit short) holiday!

So thankful that I'm living in this safe, (generally) non-corrupted, peaceful little red dot that's free from natural disasters and has a unique culture that I'm proud to call my own. #thatswhyilovesingapore

P.S You can't tell from the pictures but lipstick of the day: MAC Russian Red. One of my fav lipsticks that I saved to wear on national red/white day! 
P.S.S Notice our red/white outfits? #gosingapore!
