A Saturday in town

The Missy is in town again and we had a really fun Saturday.

First off, we had a very late lunch at this cafe named Food for Thought which is recommended by the sister. It's a tiny place in North Bridge Centre and we actually missed the entrance and only found it by chance through its backdoor! They do not impose service charge, and the quality of the food is surprisingly good. You can have free flow of water and feel free to drop a donation to their Give Clean Water Fund. I had the sandwich set which offered the choice of a soup or salad. I opted for soup, and it was really good mushroom soup (nothing like some white diluted junk you get elsewhere), instead it's the thick brown soup with bits of mushrooms - just the kind I like! I ordered the Slow Roasted Pulled Pork, Missy had the All Day Breakfast Set, and Ade chose Basil Pesto Chicken. I adore the sound of sweet potato in mine and quite enjoyed it even though the shredded meat laying between two pieces of bread could be quite hard to handle even with the fingers. We were supposed to stuff ourselves with desserts, they had a whole range of yummy looking cakes but unfortunately we just couldn't do it thereafter! So sad. I promise I'll be back for the cakies!

Next, a movie lined up... With 5 million population in Singapore, it is almost impossible to get good cinema seats when you buy them last minute. So we got the later timing, and went for Durian snow ice and Mango with pamelo sago.

Black Swan was on the plan but it didn't sound like a good choice for a relaxing afternoon, and we went for No Strings Attached casting Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. It'd be a good laugh and indeed it was. What a bargain, you could almost see both of them fully naked (not that we know this in advanced!)... Not sure how many of you had been in the same scenario, but it's somehow quite real. How long can a couple stay in a casual relationship without actually feeling anything for one another, I guess won't be that long, considering that most women do enjoy the attachment. But in this show, it's the opposite, it made Adam (Ashton) seemingly like the woman in the relationship, with him hoping for a relationship to work out instead.

After a good laugh, we parted our ways. On the way to the train station, Missy and me chanced upon this new Irish bar with live band. So we popped in for a drink. I had Cherry Brandy on the rocks, one of my favourite drinks but not easily available anywhere. I recalled the bestman trying to order it for me at Missy's wedding but failed miserably. Missy had cider, and it actually tasted a lot better than the one I ordered back in Aberdeen! After finishing my drink and helping to finish half her cider, I knew I would have to turn in with a headache. And for the Missy, the night was still young... she continued her drinking plans elsewhere!

A very well spent Saturday!
