Olivia Cassivelaun Fancourt

Tuesday, May 28, 2013

Alternatively, you can call it OCF. That's the name of the new French restaurant down at The Arts House. It's a collaboration between Timbre Group and A Thousand Tales (the same folks behind Table Manners and Bar Stories). OCF is actually the name of Sir Stamford's (lesser known) first wife. For the folks who don't live in Singapore or have no idea about history of this city-state, read more about Sir Stamford Raffles here. :) If the weather is nice, do opt for a nice short stroll before dinner....

YY Kafei Dian

Sunday, May 19, 2013

Has anyone been to this coffeeshop? I'm not sure why the online reviews for it are so bad. I haven't had any bad experiences so far, especially so for service. YY Kafei Dian is this old school Hainanese coffeeshop that's located at the corner of Purvis Street and Beach Road. It's a less than 5 minute walk from my Bahasa Indonesia class so it's the perfect place Danson and I catch a late dinner (pretty much) every Monday. There usually isn't a huge crowd during the hours we are there. And...

Littered with books & Group Therapy

Saturday, May 18, 2013

Found some old photos in my phone and recalled I have yet to blog about the places at Duxton Hill that I visited many moons back. World class procrastinator with terrible memory I say. Popped by this little charming place called Littered with Books, a few months back. It's pretty much your regular bookstore, but a lot more personable. It gives off a very homely vibe and I guess that's the charm. The owners of the store were always ready to recommend you something if you ask, and are thoughtful...

The Big Sheila

Sunday, May 12, 2013

Clearly, I haven't been exploring my neighborhood too much. How could I have missed such an amazing brunch place that's like 10 minutes from my house!  Time to change my jogging route just so I can discover more things man.. The Big Sheila 15 Swan Lake Avenue For more information, click here Popped by The Big Sheila on Saturday with my foodie mate. It's a nice cozy restaurant that sits about maximum 25 people indoors and maybe 5-8 outdoors.  The owner is an Australian...

Good Saturday

Sunday, May 5, 2013

Had an amazing Saturday hanging out with the JC friends and celebrating Shiyuan's birthday over at Zeffir with some seriously good and authentic Russian/Uzbekistan food. Who would have expected such good food in this little hole in the wall in Little India? I sure didn't. Haha. The Borsch soup was rich and is one of the must-trys. I like how cozy and homely the setting is, perfect for small gatherings (the whole place takes about less than 30 people I think). Do try the Kompot (home-made...

Peperoni Pizzeria @ Frankel Ave

Sunday, January 27, 2013

Met up with the girls at Peperoni Pizzeria @ Frankel Avenue! It's still standing at a headcount of 8 so far. When are we ever reaching 10! Hahaha. We gorged ourselves silly with a 21-inch pizza, loads of risotto and very very sinful (but oh so good) desserts while updating each other what is happening in our lives. Julia's road biking training, my half-marathon training, Clara's photography stories, WenLing and Clara's baking tales, Yunwen's cooking adventures, amazing progresses at work, Alicia's...

A month in summary

Sunday, December 16, 2012

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of dinners, meetups, more dinners and well you get the idea. It's after all MY birthday season! Hahaha. Well everyday is supposed to a celebration anyway, isn't it ;) It's already (gasp) December 16! 9 days to Christmas and 15 days till a brand new year. Time is jetting me by at crazy speed and I'm pretty sure it's the same for the rest of you :) I actually have yet to do a proper update for a month! Well minus the filler posts inbetween. Hahaha. People...
