Tuk Tuk Cha

By -
Finally ITI presentation that had been dragged for a week is over! I did not have a good sleep the day before as my mind kept going over my script deterring me from resting... 

Of course, we had to take a mandatory group shot to mark the end of the presentation.  


Felt like a midget among all these tall people. HAHA


Did not know that level three in SIT @ RP had such a photo-worthy environment. The sun was quite bright in the afternoon and we had to squint our eyes while we had our photos taken. 

The result was quite good as we managed to do a jump shot, though I could not quite control my facial expressions and messy hair 

Tuk Tuk Cha is finally opened at Sun Plaza after a long wait. North side truly needs more cafes... A cafe in Sun Plaza certainly add points to the neighbourhood mall. 

I checked out Tuk Tuk Cha after my ITI presentation where we did on Bangkok and I was craving for thai iced milk tea. We added value to our presentation by serving Thai Iced Milk Tea to our audience but it was overly sweet. Hence, I was even craving more for some authentic milk tea. 

Luckily, Claudia was being sporting by accompanying me to check out the cafe together. I was a little surprised that the cafe is actually quite quiet at the time when we reached. 


The entire menu of the offerings in Tuk Tuk Cha. I was quite disappointed as they said that their ice cream have yet to solidify and they are unable to serve us the shibuya toasts... which I came for... Hence, we ordered the condensed milk and milo golden toasts instead and a large thai ice milk tea to share. The price is quite reasonable compared to the normal cafes I've been too. It only costs us a total of $7 for the two orders.


We were the only diners at that time... It was around 4 in the afternoon. I was actually expecting more people since it is newly opened. 


The Condensed Milk and Milo Golden Toast is crispy on the outside but soft in the inside, and the combination of condensed milk and milo is indeed special. The Thai Iced Milk Tea has a strong hint of tea leaves and the sweetness was just right. 


Nice wall design, the attractions of Bangkok which I introduced in my presentation. The entire wall actually consists of Thailand and Singapore attractions since Tuk Tuk Cha is a Thai inspired cafe. However, I was expecting more thai inspired decor in the cafe, I guess they just opened and not everything is in place yet? 

There are also a lot of houseflies in store... which turned us off a little... I guess I had high expectations, but since the cafe just opened not long ago, I believe more can be done to improve the situation. Their opening may be a little abrupt since their decor is not finalized yet and that their ice creams are also not solidified? 

I might return to try their shibuya toast again, hopefully the cafe is completely ready for business.

Korea day 5

By -

Time passes so fast when you are enjoying yourself. It is the fifth day in Korea. As usual, we packed up and left the resort in the morning to eat breakfast at the place we had our dinner the day before. I had quite a phobia that they will serve the fake "codfish" soup again as it does not taste nice at all. Luckily, the menu was beef stew soup but we do not eat beef so the soup was substituted with pork tonkatsu which is made with seafood. It does not taste appetising at all and I did not eat much as I am not used to eating rice for breakfast. I also hate having to eat mayonnaise with rice. It just tastes so...wierd...   After breakfast, we left for Everland. It opens at 9.30am but we reached there at about 10plus. We took a shuttle bus into the amusement park and took both group and solo photos at the entrance. Following that, we left to tour the park. At it was snowing that morning, many rides were closed so we sort of wasted our time there and took pictures instead. ...

Maki-San X Foodpanda

Literally rolled out of bed early for this Maki-San X FoodPanda event held at 112 Katong Maki-San's third outlet. Many thanks to Mich again for jio-ing me to this event since Paul could not make it  I've tried Maki-San once at their first Cathay outlet and I really enjoyed it and looked forward to rolling my own Makis at this event.  These days the trend is all about customization and insta-worthy food. Maki-San simply fulfill our need for novelty by allowing us to customize our very own makis with the toppings we like. Brown rice option is also available for the health conscious.  Really love the pretty and colorful packaging, which won several awards.  Even my friend brought home the boxes after eating > < Being early, we were the first to arrive at the event. We were given each a nice foodpanda apron to wear so that we will not dirty our clothes.    Mich is like a panda after suffering from insomnia last night ...

Mean Bean & Wicked Grind

After sending cousin off at Goldenmile for her coach to Kuala Lumpur, we decided to go check out Mean Bean & Wicked Grind cafe which is nearby, at The Plaza. From Goldenmile tower, The Plaza is straight up and around 10 minutes walk away. It is also just opposite Haji Lane which is quite accessible for us to go Bugis as we planned to watch a movie after checking out the cafe.  Upon reaching The Plaza, we were a little unsure if we were at the right place as it does not seem like where cafes normally should be. The reviews were accurate, this cafe is quite hard to find > <  All the stores there were mostly furniture stores or travel agencies, hence, we decided to check with the information desk. Much to our surprise, the counter staff knew almost immediately where we wanted to go and gave us directions that it is straight up inside. HOW ULU!  We finally found the cafe! It is quite a small cafe with only two tables inside and a few outside. But the deco...
