A Morning Break

On a busy day, lunch wasn't quite on the schedule. But at some point, I'd need to eat. Having a sudden small pocket of free time in the morning meant that the man and I could have brunch together.

We liked the eggs at the cafe at Hediard a fair bit. Plus we had errands to run in the form of buying a ton of bottles of jam, balsamic, oil in olive, hazelnut, walnut, etc etc. The bottles were to be given away to the friends. We like the cafe on the weekdays because it's rather quiet. The weekends could get really noisy with the chi chi crowd packing in for brunch.

Oh, I should mention that the cafe's freshly squeezed orange juice costs S$15 a glass. It is a big glass, twice the size of those at other cafes. Granted, they use good oranges. But the first time I ordered it and saw the bill, I was a little stunned. Heeee. But it hasn't deterred me from ordering since. It is very good juice; not the frothy sort.

Today, it was very pleasant to sit in an almost empty cafe for a slow bite and linger over tea and coffee.

"oil in olive"? Wassat?

your errand list is making my tummy rumble... which reminds me I should crack my bottles of black & white truffle oils open when I get home.

kachunknorge: trying to be stylistic lah. it's olive oil with basil leaves in it or olive oil with a sprig of rosemary!

I just bought the coffee yesterday from that supermarket up the top foor at Ion Orchard. No wonder the name Hediard sounded so familiar when I read this. I hadn't realised it's the same brand of coffee I purchased. I hope it's good, since that's the one and only thing I bought yesterday. I was too tired to shop after the marathon shopping on Tuesday! haha
