Cava

Cava, wanted to eat here few weeks ago but due to the long reservation list...

So today, we made reservation.. the food is nice!! Looking through the menu there's quite a few tt I wanted to try

In the end here's what we've got..

Cava Burger 🍔 @ $17++

Crispy chicken thigh with cheesy cheddar cheese 🧀, grilled pineapple 🍍, wild mushroom 🍄 sandwiched between 2 bread bun

Bread bun is crispy too! Served with parmesan fries 🍟

Just sooo nice!!!

Fish 🐟 Business @ $20++

Pan seared salmon 🐟 with grilled veggies and tomato 🍅 quinoa

Salmon is seared to perfection with the veggies.. everything seems to be so perfect.. quinoa is ok but I still prefer soup spoon's quinoa hehe maybe cos it's basil

It's a very nice place to dine and catch up.. both indoors and outdoors (still sheltered but no air con and can bring furry friends along!) There's also a small indoor garden! 🌱🌱

I'm definitely coming back again for more.. 😍

Here's the menu

NAPOLIZZ PIZZA anson house

Husband's pizza craving again... So searched online and saw recommendation for this Italian restaurant

found this that serves wide variety of pizza and pastas

place is not very crowded and the staff is very friendly. its a nice place to hang out with live music (rocky songs)

spaghetti aglio olio @ $16++

noodle is chewy with seafood, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes 🍅

Taste not bad but quite common while portion is normal but quite generous in the ingredients.. quite worth the price

Pizza Pollo @ $22++

mozzarella, tomato sauce, pesto chicken, bell peppers and onions

chose this cos I saw pesto but the pesto is not very strong, prefer the pesto at Zazz

super super thin crispy crust.. feels like biscuit.. yup, no bread filling

heres the menu

📍72 Anson Road #01-02A Singapore 079911

WANTON MEE, LAKSA, CARROT CAKE @ sembawang hill food centre

wanted to brunch at a cafe CAVA, but to our surprise it's fully reserved till 130-2pm... And we were there abt 1130pm the cafe looks cosy with indoor and "outdoor" sittings where you can bring your pets too!

not far away is a small hawker centre.. not very crowded though it's lunch time

nearby are private estates... tt explains.. we go for stalls that have q..

wanton mee @ $3.50

I see alot of ppl ordering their fried meat ball too! Shall try it next time

laksa @ $4

it's from a different stall, exactly behind the noodle stall

Read online that they don't use coconut.. and yes really doesn't have coconut taste.. Portion is rather small.. Taste is okok, not tt will come again for it

fried carrot cake @ $3

ok this is black carrot cake... Looks like white hor.. but surprising it's nice and special! It's so soft tt it kinds of melts in the mouth... 🤤 Definitely coming back for this

📍 590 Upper Thomson Road Singapore 574419
based on the map, it's near the Lower Pierce Reservoir.. can come for meals after 🚲 🚲

A long 4hrs walk at macritchie.... the last time I'm here is nearly 20 years ago, cross country run...
So beyond my expectation.. always thought tt the trails are easy to walk but there's slopes up and down, stairs up and down..... Stoney path, rockey path, muddy path, woody path and easy path get them all here

Was quite crowded on a ph but the walking is not affected just tt you can hear ppl's conversations hahaha

Mostly are forest walk, surrounded by trees, and there and monkeys 🐒 around... Be sure not to have any food on hand.. cos they really come to you!! 😅

The aim is to reach the "tree top" and there's this bridge to walk, abit shakey, and there's no turn back allowed.. not very deep down, and all  are trees view throughout

#hikingtrail #hiking #macritchiereservoir #macritchie #macritchienaturetrail #macritchietreetopwalk #macritchiehike #nature #naturewalk

After the long walk, ended up at Windsor park, exiting the nature trail to Venus drive carpark...

2 bus stops to Thomson Plaza.. first time at Thomson Plaza, some shops that don't see at other shopping malls

Tried this Japanese restaurant, Ikura

Believe they are more for sashimi.. was there abt 230 and we are the only customers

Tonkutsu ramen @ $12.80++

There's salty veg which makes the soup salty.. soup base is not very thick too

Noodle is slightly overcooked and portion is not alot 

Char siew is not tt good too

Pork cutlet donburi @ $13.80

Quite alot of rice, like it topped with seaweed.. portion for pork cutlet is quite alot too

But taste wise don't think it's good...

Rice is very dry, no sauce cutlet is soggy...

Quite disappointed... Not really worth, don't like the food though we were hungry after the long walk
