Okay, this is a super backdated post. Met up with my girls (about 1.5 months ago?).
We decided to be early birds (oh well, as early as we could la, and we tried), and meet for real brunch. Meaning actually having breakfast around the lunch timing, instead of late afternoon/evening! Hee! What an achievement for night owls like us!
Their cute table mat!
Our truffle fries while waiting for ling.
Heh, ya it's weird for an early morning starters. But heck, the fries isn't oily at all and most importantly, it doesn't taste/smell like petroleum!
I know how some people like truffle fries exactly becos it smells like petroleum, but i don't understand that and i don't know how to appreciate that (a little smell of it is tolerable though).
And the fries that came actually remained crispy even after we finished our mains. Thumbs up!
Was then trying to keep away from caffeine so I ordered hot choc instead.
With vanilla :)
They place bottles of Fiji on the tables by default. If you're not intending to drink it, just let the waiter know.
With dd, and i know i look like i just woke up.
Which was indeed la, lol.
Skyve Sous Vide Eggs Benedict
My usual brunch preference.
The eggs ben, served with english muffinstreaky bacon and hollandaise sauce was a hit.
Sides of sautéed wild mushrooms and sweet corn was good too.
Ricotta Hot Cakes
With maple syrup, passion fruit butter and roasted almond flakes. Heavenly.
It was served with strawberries instead of bananas that day, so all the better cos i prefer strawberries :p
Skyving’ Breakfast
There are choices of overeasy/sunny side up/scrambled/soft poached for the eggs.
Bread can be either wholemeal, sourdough or brioche
Served with wild mushroom fricassee, enlish pork sausage, confit of cherry tomatoes & roasted baby potatoes.
Pretty heavy and I say it would be perfect to share between two girls :)

And here's my ootd shot.
Waited for D in town before we went for a play at the Esplanade.
My first Huayi play! If I remember correctly :x
And it shown me how much my chinese has deterioriated over the years after my A levels.
Thankfully this play is pretty easy to understand and entertaining (there were moments which I thought I was watching a musical concert).
There were Singlish incoporated into a particular part of the show "Come lah, look look see see" which easily amused the Singaporean audience.
Also, quite a few lines caught my attention but they were in chinese and I can't really type it out properly now.
Below's the official introduction of the play:
Awakening (贾宝玉)
by Edward Lam Dance Theatre (Hong Kong)
"The Chinese literary classic Dream of the Red Chamber receives a modern adaptation for the stage by acclaimed director Edward Lam in Awakening. This powerful re-envisioning features an all-female cast, with celebrated Cantopop singer and actress Denise Ho, taking the final chapter of the classic tale as its starting point.
Having left the mortal world, Jia Baoyu returns to the land of illusions with all his memories lost. Desperate to remember his life, he is allowed to return to the world of the living where his life of love plays out again. His memories gradually return, but he is unable to change anything and can only watch as tragedies unfold before him again and again, leaving him and his loves to the unforgiving hands of fate. Slowly, he begins to understand why he seeks to remember.
Awakening presents a searching portrayal of love and the complexities of life. Since its premiere in Hong Kong in 2011, this work has toured with sold-out stopovers in many cities in Asia and received positive reviews, with Denise Ho’s performance moving many. "
