[PHOTO DIARY] A Trip Down Memory Lane

There's something magical about summer evenings on our tropical little island.

Yes, the sun may be relentless and the heat unbearable during the day,

but the hottest days usually have the prettiest golden sunsets.  

Its also the best time for photoshoots cos all the colours are so vibrant!

Here are some pictures from our usual Sunday evening cafe trail which started at the quaint Tiong Bahru estate.

Crown braids are currently one of my favourite ways to beat the heat on our sunny little island!

Started doing this hairstyle on my recent trip to Europe cos its Summer now 

and I was looking for a pretty hairstyle to keep my hair up. 

My students said I look like "Anna" from 'Frozen" with this hairstyle haha!

The last stop of our cafe trail brought us to Sin Lee Foods, 

a new cafe at Jalan Bukit Ho Swee which was just a stone's throw away from Tiong Bahru.

Have a lovely weekend!

SIN LEE FOODS

Sunday was definitely a trip down memory lane for us as

we checked out the newly opened cafe; Sin Lee Foods located in the nostalgic neighbourhood of Jalan Bukit Ho Swee.

I remember my mom told me that she used to live here when she was a baby and also told me about the big fire that pretty much destroyed the kampong and left 16,000 people homeless.

My grandma had to carry my mom to escape the fire!

This new cafe took over the Sin Lee Hup Kee coffeeshop but they retained the name of the original establishment.

The decor of the cafe was a mix between modern industrial style and hints of nostalgia.

Time for some pictures

The exterior of the cafe

There's also an outdoor seating area if you prefer alfresco dining/chilling

Here's their menu

Not too sure if you can see everything on it..
But they include some of the food you find at cafes like truffle fries, spam fries(OMG!), sandwiches, waffles and breakfasts.
They also serve a variety of drinks including artisan coffee, sodas and cold drinks. 

It wasn't too crowded when we arrived so we got to sit by the window 

YAY!!!

When I sat down, I noticed there cement bench is the same as my tv console at home haha..

The sun was relentless and as much as I wanted to order myself a hot cuppa, 
I ordered their iced Peach Lemonade instead. 

Alex's latte :)

We also ordered their "Wonka waffle" to share cos we were going for dinner with my parents after.
The perfect combination of snickers flavoured ice-cream set atop a warm waffle, topped with caramel popcorn, marshmallows and drenched with chocolate sauce.
SO GOOD!!
