Outing with The Babes

Hi guys! It's finally Thursday! One more day to the weekends! I really can't wait for work to end tomorrow so I can hang out with my favourite people, aka The babes! We've been meeting up very often these days, and I'm absolutely loving every single time we meet up! We will be on a constant haunt for nice brunch and supper places, which means I'll be able to share it with you guys! How awesome right? :) Alright, so last week we met up and had a whole day of fun! Our first stop was to have brunch at Pique Nique, next to Kbox and the movie Dictator, then for some mini shopping and dinner at this awesome ramen place, followed by mahjong at Lay Peng's house and supper! Totally a whole day filled with activities! Pretty tiring, but extremely fun too! So here are some of the pictures that I have to share!

 Brunch at Pique Nique! 

All the single ladies~ Hahahah!

 All of us Obsessed with Instagram. Hahaha!

After about 20 mins of wait, our food finally arrived! 

All the four girls ordered this same dish. The farmer's omelette which we all thought was quite good!

Look at all the ingredients! YUMS!

Trey's meatball pasta

The sweet sweet couple with their food! 

 And us with our omelette!

We only ordered two varieties of food the other time, so I can't exactly comment on whether the other varieties that Pique Nique serve is good. However, I personally feel that they have nice omelette. The ingredients inside the omelette was yummy, and goes will with the toast. The price of this omelette is really reasonable too. So if you love omelette, please do give it a try. 

After brunch, we went off to Cine for Kbox and our movie! I swear The Dictator is extremely hilarious! I literally laughed from the start of the movie to the end. We were so obsessed with the movie such that we even went to download the songs of the movie and I actually attempted to come up with a dance for it. Really silly, but well, best friends does silly things together right? Hahaha!

Love these girls to bits! The babes forever! <3

And then we started spamming videos in Kbox. Super funny and happy! We were all just enjoying ourselves, and it was super fun!!

We had ramen for dinner after our movie and kbox session. 

 This is the awesome ramen place! Everyone should at least come here once to try it! They have the best garlic fried rice and gyozas in my opinion!

The interior. Not exactly classy, but they serve super nice food at affordable prices!

Lay Peng's Tianjin fan It is actually rice with some ingredients and a super yummy sauce!

Trey's dinner set! Super huge and it's only $18! Mega worth it!

Our ramen!

And last but not least, our awesome gyoza! This is really awesome! I'm missing it now, should head to Somerset to have this soon!

All of them loved this place too, so I'm glad that I didn't make a wrong recommendation! Hehe. So all Jap food lovers, or rather, everyone should visit this place! The food definitely wouldn't disappoint! 

Next up, we went to Lay Peng's house for Mahjong, and being a newbie, I actually "ZHA HU" which means I thought I won, but actually I was still lacking of some tiles to win that round. So pathetic right? No beginners luck at all. I really need some mahjong master to give me a crash course before I can play mahjong again! Hahaha! And so we were supposed to go to Swee Choon for supper that night, but apparantly it was a Tuesday night and Swee Choon is closed on Tuesdays. Gosh, damn unlucky. Luckily we didn't make a wasted trip from the West to the East. We found another dimsum place which is Wan Dou Sek "126" in Cantonese.

Haha, read the Chinese characters.

Dimsum that we ordered. We were feeling extremely sad that Swee Choon wasn't open, and furthermore it was really late at night, so we didn't order that much. My personal favourite must be the Chee Cheong Fun. I liked the sauce. It's the thick sauce kind, unlike the usual soy sauce CCF. I guess this place is really famous, with like lots of people eating there at about 4am and cabs waiting around. So if you're hungry in the middle of the night, and you live in the East, head down to "126" for supper!

Riders Cafe, and a girls day out

 Welcome to Riders Cafe

Hello people! Happy weekends! I'm sure all of you have plans on where to go for nice meals on Sunday. If you're a fan of weekend brunch, then you're in for a treat! I'm gonna be introducing this brunch place that is highly raved by a lot of people for it's nice ambience, surroundings, and of course not forgetting the awesome food that they serve. So this place that I'm talking about is none other than Riders Cafe.

It's located in the midst of Saddle Club along Bukit Timah Road. Away from all the hustle and bustle of our typical Singapore City. It's a great way to relax on a weekend morning,with beautiful scenery and if you're lucky, you might just be able to see horses galloping/trotting around. However, it's rather inaccessible if you do not have your own transport. There's close to no way that you can try walking in from the nearest bus stop. So do grab your car keys, or flag for a cab if you really want to visit this beautiful restaurant.

Alright, time for some pictures, but before I reveal to you how this restaurant looks like, I'll first reveal my brunch date for today. Heh. 

YAY! I got the car from my dad, so we have transport to the Cafe

Concentration level: 99/100

While Miss Hiromi started camwhoring

To be sure that we get to the place correctly, an old school map, and an Iphone google map is needed

After driving for about 30 mins, we've finally made our way to the Saddle Club.

Look at the road, I swear I was kind of scared when I was driving, cause I didn't know that it was a two way road, but I love that there are trees at both sides of the road. we're one step closer to the nature and to our destination

*Wide grin* and thumbs up, cause I made it safely to our destination and I managed to PARK! :D

Located at Bukit Timah Saddle Club

 The exterior of the cafe, looking really like a brunch spot in Melbourne

 Alright, finally, I've come to you, Riders Cafe.

Some pictures of the interior of the cafe

 Here's a picture of the brunch and beverages menu for readers who are interested in visiting this place

 Really cute coaster with a Horse shoe stamp

 We placed our orders, and started doing what we do best - Camwhore. 

 I love it that they serve iced water in a jug, and they'll refill it for you from time to time

Hiromi's Iced Latte ($5.50) and my Iced Choocolate ($5)

Cheers for a great weekend!

Our food finally arrived after about 15 mins

I had "The Usual" ($16) which consists of Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Smoked bacon, Breakfast Banger, Omelette & Sourdough

 It's pretty good I must say. You can choose how you want your eggs to be done. I chose to have omelette. The mushrooms were tasty and the bacon was good. What I liked most was the tomatoes and the sourdough. The tomatoes were surprisingly fresh and sweet. I loved it. It's worth every penny of yours for this plate of goodness.

Hiromi's Eggs Cream and Corn ($15) which consists of Scrambled Eggs, Tomatoes, Cream Corn Polenta, Portobello and Sourdough. This is a vegetarian set. I love how they cater for our vegetarian friends who visits this cafe. Hiromi is not a vegetarian though, just that she had to go vegetarian today. From what she says, she kind of liked her set, and she loved the bread as well.

More pictures with our food

We left promptly after finishing our meal, as there were many other patrons waiting for a seat. So do remember to make an online reservation before you head down to the cafe, if not you'll have to wait.

The very nice manager of the cafe helped us with this beautiful picture.

This picture too, as well as two other polaroid pictures. Heh.

We walked around and snapped more pictures of the beautiful place, and of course, more pictures of ourselves!

I love this picture of a lonesome tree. #foreveralone

It was drizzling the whole time we were there

Hiromi looking happy!

Cute sign, drive slowly, cause horses might trot down the road anytime

Please do not drive at above 30km/h in the Saddle Club

I'm so happy to be free from stress for that 2 hours or so

Ohhh yes, the polaroid picture, it's a little dark though
