Bakerzin Executive Lunch Set Meal @ $15++

Dear *Freaders, :)

Today, I had the Bakerzin Executive Lunch Set Meal @ myVillage (Serangoon Gardens).

The Set Lunch ($15++) comprises of an appetizer (either salad or soup), a main course and a Snapple (3 flavours to choose from).


Below is my review:


The Mushroom Soup has a rich savoury flavour.. Yummy!!


Creamy, gooey, warm melted cheese layered on top of Penne with Lamb Ragout. Lamb Ragout is similar to Lamb Stew. This meaty and umami Lamb Ragout definitely warms my heart on a busy work day! :)


Cheers~

Christian Mingle movie

Dear *Freaders,

It's going to be Mothers' Day tomorrow!!! Show your Mums appreciation by spending time with her. Bringing her on a date will be a splendid gesture! :)

By the way, I want to blog about this movie called Christian Mingle released in 2014. From the movie poster, it is obvious that it is all about romance.

Christian Mingle sounds like a name, probably the name of a guy. And, I was thinking in my head that this could be a sweet film - perhaps about a girl who meets the perfect guy who turns out to be her Mr. Right.

Well, Christian Mingle is more than that... :)

I want all of you to watch the movie, hence I am going to write a really brief plot summary.

Gwyneth Hayden's life is close to perfection but she feels empty - she thinks that the only thing lacking is a decent man in her life journey. By chance, she finds a dating website ChristianMingle.com and fills out a profile to find Mr. Right. In the end, she receives more than what her heart desires. :)

If you read my past reviews on movies, you will know that I LOVE to ponder about the meaning behind movies.

Here goes....

1) GOD loves us and He hopes for us to have a relationship with him.

He is a Father to us. He wants us to flourish and be emotionally and spiritually strong. And, I do believe He has a "plan" for us.

Many of us are just drifting through life. Some days we wake up feeling hollow and confused. Then we mull over what is the purpose of our life.

I hope every one will take time to reflect and consider what is most important in life.

2) The Truth is what we seek.

Being truthful to family, friends and even strangers are imperative to us. The ability to feel a sense of guilt is what makes us humans. We cannot lie all the time.

Being true to oneself is of even greater importance. Deceiving yourself or pretending is exhausting.

The ultimate essence? Seeking The Truth to living forever. :)

*Freaders, watch the movie and share some of your thoughts here, ok? :)))

Kombi Rocks Diner - Vintage is the New IN

Dear *Freaders,

Do you love everything retro? Do you dream to have a house with a vintage theme? Do you love Volkswagen cars? :))

If so, you should hang out at Kombi Rocks Diner @ Yio Chu Kang Road. You will definitely love the laid-back atmosphere here. Plus, the service is fantastic! :)

Just for info, Kombi is known informally as the Camper (UK), which is a panel van launched in 1950 by Volkswagen. Only a few people in Singapore own one.

Food-wise, Kombi Rocks Diner serves Thai and Chinese food. Prices are quite steep though. If you are on a saver-mode, you can order from the Noodles & Rice menu. I ordered the Seafood Hor Fun which costs $6.50. It actually tastes exquisite - the texture of the Hor Fun is very smooth and the gravy is absolutely savoury.

I was here on a Thursday and the live music was genuinely entertaining. I love the performance by the Philipino singer strumming on his guitar! As I was seating right in front of him, I made a song request and he happily obliged. :) After his act, he told me that he sings on every Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Store Interior:

 
Take a random snapshot with The Hulk~ He (or it) has MANLIEST vibe!!!

 
I dream of a free-spirited guy who will take me on his bike and travel the world~~~~

 
Tick-tock.... Tick-tock.... time moves a little slower in this vintage space!

 
~~~Volkswagen Miniatures~~~

 
~~~The Beatles Wall~~~
 
Overall, Kombi Rocks is an enjoyable hang-out diner. If you stay around Serangoon/Kovan, why not drop by?
 
p.s. There are pretty Kombis parked outside Kombi Rocks that you can take a selfie or WE-fie with!

Teddy&Me Cafe - Concept revolving around Mr Bean & his Teddy

Dear *Freaders,

Make a guess!

Who lives in London, always wears a tweed jacket and red skinny tie and talks to his friend, Teddy?

Sounds familiar?

Of course! That's because he is our very likeable (or not) and awkwardly funny character, Mr Bean!

For fans and secret admirers of Mr Bean, your dreams have come true!

There is a sweet cafe located in Marina Square, #02-207A which revolves all around Mr Bean & his Teddy. It is a fairly new cafe which opened for business less than a year ago, on 30 June 2014.

I patronised the cafe sometime back and wanted to share some pictures and review.


I must say I really love the overall timeless British interior! Makes me feel like I had teleported to London!

Mmmm... who can resist the temptation of icy cold, melt-in-your-mouth luscious creaminess!!!!


A limited selection of desserts. The highlights of the cafe are positioned on top. 4 flavours of Mille Crepe - Trio Chocolate Mille Crepe, Strawberry Mille Crepe, Yam & Red Bean Mille Crepe and Rainbow Mille Crepe. :)


A classic London telephone booth and it seems Teddy is doing a good job guarding it. Well-done, Teddy!



Lovely ambience and comfy seatings ^ ^


Mr Bean imprinted on the pillow (found on the sofa that I was seating on).


Menu


Chocolate ice cream Waffle - the ice cream is fan-tastic! It is so chocolatey and creamy! It totally won my heart over! I must say I did not expect the ice cream to be that good! On the contrary, the waffle is a huge disappointment! 

Strawberry Mille Crepe - it looks better than it tastes. It has the right ingredients and flavour but the texture is off. 

The Cappuccino here has a dainty Teddy design! Flavour-wise, not too bad! Coffee is pretty well-rounded! Liked!
