It’s a public holiday today, so off we headed to Avenue K for some food and retail therapy!<\/p>\n

After our delightful brunch at Bankara Ramen, the girls charged their most favored place – Popular bookstore.<\/p>\n

Bankara Raman is a Tokyo-based noodle chain that serves good quality authentic Japanese noodles and cuisine. If you’re looking to dig into some really tasty ramen with lip-smacking broth infused with refined shoyu and pork bones, this is the place to go to. Many of their patrons are Japanese.<\/p>\n

Cass claimed her second reward earned from the recent final exam. Each A that she scores earns \u00a0her a small gift \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Next up was H&M! \u00a0Shopping for clothes is now getting more gratifying with 2 vain tween girls! \u00a0The four of us would squeeze into the fitting room to try our clothes. \u00a0Down side is that daddy’s wallet gets a bigger bashing.<\/p>\n

While the girls and I shopped, hubs went for a relaxing massage at Erawan Wellness Massage. \u00a0After all of us had our mood fixed with our favorite therapy, we fixed our rumbling tummies at Franco, a French Japanese Artisanal Cafe.<\/p>\n

Hubs picked\u00a0FRANCO’s World Famous French Toast! This is an absolute MUST HAVE and it was really delightful.<\/p>\n

Azuki Red Bean & Jelly Pancake Matcha Softee. \u00a0\u00a0This is a hot and super soft matcha cake topped with matcha ice cream, cube matcha jellly and cube coffee jelly. \u00a0The combination of hot & cold hit all the right notes. We loved it!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Franco’s Classic Puff Pizza is no run-of-the-mill pizza. The pastry used is puff pastry and I love the small wedges of egg plant in the topping.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

FRANCO’s Chocolate Souffle. This hot and fluffy souffle is made using 66% dark chocolate and served on a hot bowl. It is a uber decadent dessert with a delicious chocolaty molten center.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s such an awesome thing to have a public holiday in the middle of the week. \u00a0A one-day breather from the height of work stress and school stress plus a day to catch up on one’s beauty sleep help heaps to recharge our batteries for the remaining stressful days in the week.<\/p>\n
