Lost in Paradise!

It has been a while since I last updated you of anything.. To get started, please allow me to share that just last night, I had my book entitled Lost in Paradise posted under Wattpad.

I am really overwhelmed with all the feedbacks I got from family and friends, and I hope to hear from you soon too.

The story is about Romance, Love and Hope. To be honest, I haven't really figured out on how I can push through with the next chapters but I decided to post it to gain feedbacks from readers and see which directions I should lean on.

If you love reading and have a few minutes to spare, please add my book to your reading list and feel free to vote, comment, and share your feedbacks.

Where to Get the Best Western Food in Singapore

Singapore is a paradise for food lovers. The country is not only known to present the most delicious Asian cuisine for the weary traveller but western food in Singapore are also showcased in the most exquisite dishes prepared by both local and international chefs. When one hears about Western food, steak, burgers and fries immediately come to mind. Without further ado, here are the top places to get the tastiest and most memorable Western food in Singapore. 

CUT by Wolfgang Puck

The meat here is so good it has been steadily gaining a loyal following. CUT is one of the best steakhouses in Singapore that offer the most superb selection of cuts imported from the US, Japan and Australia. Their Bone in Rib Eye and Wagyu dishes are to die for. The restaurant even has a New York vibe going on.

db Bistro Moderne

Those who have visited and dined here will agree that db Bistro's signature db Burger is one of the best - if not the best - burger in town. Chef Daniel Boulud's burgers have become one of the most hyped and beloved burgers in Singapore. db burgers are made of an astounding 1.5-inch sirloin patty stuffed with braised short ribs and buttery foie gras. It's cooked to a perfect medium-rare which gives it its creamy texture. These burgers are served with crispy and fluffy fries and mustard, mayo and ketchup.

Hummerstons

This is the place to be for those hearty weekend brunches with family and friends. Enjoy the mouth-watering Western comfort food here which are visited by customers who enjoy brunches over the much more formal setup of lunches. The restaurant serves a true American breakfast with their special Truffle Scrambled Eggs, Eggs Gloria and Goat's cheese spinach and mushrooms in the forefront. What Hummerstons is really famous for is their set breakfast of eggs (prepared how you like them), juicy smoked pork, garlic sausages, large crispy bacon strips, roasted mushrooms, grilled tomato and asparagus and toast. 

Salt Tapas & Bar
An authentic meal is not complete without finishing it off with a yummy dessert. Australian chef Luke Mangan’s  Salt Tapas & Bar is a fairly new establishment but already boasts an assortment of the most delectable desserts. It serves the perfect treat in the form of a sweet and tarty dessert of two caramelised figs served with a big slice of cinnamon-y baklava alongside a tart sorbet sprinkled with candied ginger and pistachios.  

Esquina

One of the most well-loved Western side dish are French fries and Esquina prepares one of the tastiest in Singapore. Aside from serving their signature bone marrow with snails and ox-cheek oloroso, here tourists can order their bountiful heap of medium-cut Garlic fries with chorizo ketchup. The fries are cooked to a balance of crisp (on the outside) and fluffiness (on the inside) and seasoned with garlic salt and rosemary.

♪♪There's a rainbow always after the rain ♫♫

It has been a while since I updated you all. There are a lot of things happened beyond my control thus I have to set my priorities. It's not that blogging is not one of my priorities no, I love to write and I love sharing my experiences to all of you. I love that we share our thoughts to each and everyone through our own separate emails. :)
I just love it, it gives me a self of fulfillment. ;)
Any how, I would like to begin with sharing our dinner date (Ryan and I). If you have been reading my posts for a while now you'll know that Ryan is my Boyfriend - my better half.
We had our dinner at TGIFridays.

This is special since we ate here a week after we knew that the company where we are employed is actually closing down.

Does it sound weird? haha Celebrating yet we already knew that we are bum all of a sudden? The answer is no, it is not like what you think, the main reason on why I am sharing this is for you all to see on how we took the news in a positive way. We always look on the brighter side, maybe it was destined to happen for us to grow, for us to realize that indeed nothing is permanent. C'mon there are a lot of jobs awaiting for us there. We just have to stay positive! ;)

So what am I trying to say here? I guess what I really like to impose is that in every situation there is always the better side. You just have to stop, think, dig it and then you'll see it is not that bad after all.

As of now, I am already employed for almost a month. I already have friends. And I am enjoying my job. Just always remember that there's always a rainbow after the rain. ;)

XOXO,
Tina
