Throwback food snaps – 2 April 2023

This is our typical Sunday now, after hubs sends Cass to the skating rink for figure skating practice on Sunday morning – we have brunch together. Sometimes Alycia and Sherilyn join us, sometimes only the mil joins us, sometimes it’s the five of us, sometimes it’s only the two of us and sometimes we have full attendance at the dining table, which is rare now as the girls have their own activities respectively.

Two Sundays ago, hubs and I had brunch at the famous O&S Restaurant (coffee shop) at Paramount Garden PJ. We tucked into our favorite Yong Tau Fu, char koay teow, crispy apam balik, prawn paste Chee Cheong Fun, and prawn noodles.

Getting a table is always a daunting task as the coffee shop is perpetually packed with patrons, no matter what time you’re there. To get a table, you have to stand shamelessly next to tables where people are still eating but look like they’re about to finish their meal.

When you stand next to a table with people still enjoying their food, it’s a non-verbal sign to tell them “hey, I’m waiting for your table. Pretty please hurry up” 😆. But so far, we’ve met only kind and really nice people. They hurriedly gobbled down their food so that they can let us have the table. Likewise, we do the same when we see people standing next to our table when we’re still eating. At this coffee shop, you cannot sit and enjoy your milk tea for hours on end. Everyone is considerate and we eat and leave. And adjourned to a cafe for dessert and coffee and chit chat.

A couple of times, when there were one or two available seats at a table that was already occupied, the strangers offered us the available seats. They then chatted up with us while they quickly finished their food. One time, when hubs didn’t have coins to pay a server, the stranger seated next to us offered to pay for us. Eating at O&S is always heartwarming as we always chance upon really nice strangers.

Ok, coming back to our brunch two Sundays ago.

After our heartwarming breakkie at O&S, we segued into Bröom Artisan Bakery & Kitchen for coffee and desserts and to get something for Cass and Sherilyn. Actually the main reason why we went to the cafe was because I had to pee and I didn’t want to use the wet and stinky loos at O&S coffee shop, thus hubs brought me to Bröom 🤭

We love the wide inventory of artisan sourdough breads at Bröom. This time I chose a loaf of jalapeno and cheese for Sherilyn & Cass who both know how to appreciate sourdough bread. Sourdough bread and products are a tad sour and to be able to appreciate this unique flavor and texture often requires an acquired taste.

I also chose a Portobello Cheese Croissant for Cass’ lunch.

Artisan lemon meringue tart and latte.
The lemon meringue tart has a very buttery, firm and crisply crust that crumbles in my mouth creating a perfect foundation for the tangy lemon filling. The filling itself is bursting with bright and zesty lemon flavor, with just the right amount of sweetness to balance it out.
The meringue topping is light and airy, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that contrasts beautifully with the lemon filling.

Amazing Dresses With Built-In Shapewear

Dressing up is like art, and for women, it is a form of self-expression.  However, at times it can be daunting, especially when you have to worry about the right undergarments to wear to create a flawless silhouette. However, with the advent of built-in shapewear lounge maxi dresses and women apparels, women can now dress up to the nines with ease, a more attractive silhouette, and renewed confidence.

A dress with built-in shapewear, also known as a shapewear dress, has revolutionized the way women dress, eliminating the need for separate pieces of shapewear, which can be uncomfortable and inconvenient. With dresses that come with built-in shapewear and bra, women can enjoy the benefits of both in one garment.

These dresses come in various styles, ranging from bodycon to A-line and from sleeveless to long sleeves to short sleeves. They are made of high-quality buttery fabrics that offer support and compression in all the right places. The shapewear in these dresses is designed to smooth out any bumps or bulges, creating a sleek and streamlined silhouette. The built-in bra, on the other hand, offer support and lift, ensuring that women feel comfortable and confident all day long.

One of the benefits of a shapewear dress is that it is versatile and can be worn to various occasions. Whether you are attending a wedding, a cocktail party, or a business meeting, there is a shapewear dress that will suit the occasion. These dresses come in various colors and patterns, ensuring that women can express their individuality while still feeling comfortable and confident.

Another benefit of dresses with built-in shapewear is that they save time and effort. Instead of spending time and money buying separate shapewear and bras, women can invest in a dress that rocks both. This is especially useful for women who lead busy lives and do not have the time to fuss over their undergarments.

The other life-saving apparel for women is the short sleeve thong bodysuit which features a fitted crew neckline giving you that neat tucked-in t-shirt look and ensures no visible panty lines on your sheer tight skirt or pants.

With these dresses, women no longer have to worry about uncomfortable undergarments or unsightly bulges ruining their pretty outfits.  Instead, they can confidently showcase their unique style and beauty, knowing that they are dressed up immaculately.
